Eldar Seer Council Stratagem - Does it work with multiple warlock units?

It reads sorta of vague to me. If a farseer and a warlock unit are within 6" they each get a +1. What if I have two warlocks within 6" do they both get the +1 or just one of them?

It only affects two units, due to the final line of the stratagem.

It's poorly worded, but the stratagem only affects the two units chosen for the first half of the stratagem.

Even GW agrees with me, send an email to 40kfaq@gwplc.com for a confirmation reply "4. Apply The Rules As Written. If you still don’t have a satisfactory answer, use the rule just as it is written if you possibly can, even if you are not completely happy with the effect the rule has."

Yeah, it's only one farseer and only one warlock. Which seems weird given the title of the strat, but seems to be intended, as the wording is really not ambiguous.

It doesnt have to be a friendly FARSEER unit You can use it on an enemy FARSEER unit to get +1 to psychic tests on your WARLOCK unit, if they are from the same CRAFTWORLD.

lol. I think its implied that my warlock needs to be friendly to the other farseer, plus same craftworld. But a good thought otherwise.

It's a continuation of other funky interactions between two opposing armies of the same type back in previous editions. A few editions past two Necron armies fighting each othercould leech off the enemy's Reanimation Protocols, until GW fixed that.
