After looking at the FOC rules to answer a question for someone else, I have a question myself. (I assert now the possibility that I just overlooked something.) In a 2000+ point game, with two FOCs, do FOC modifying effects go across both lists?

For instance, if I take a Master of the Forge, can I then take twelve dreadnoughts?

Yes.

It depends. Some of the older codices say something like "In an army..." While Chaos have done it very differently and DA iirc have it as "In a primary detachment..."

Both of your FOCs are your primary detachment though, yes? I thought the only thing that wasn't the primary detachment was the allied detachment, if any. Or have I confused myself? (Always a possibility...)

You have a 2nd foc so you have a 2nd primary and a 2nd allied detachment.

The Chaos Codex refers to the primary detachment that the character is in, which would exclude your other primary. It all comes down to the wording of the codex in question.
