Was looking at taking some Eldar allies, and it occurred to me that a warlock conclave can be taken as the HQ choice..
Then for a warlock conclave you can just take one warlock..
35pt Eldar HQ -- is there something I'm missing?

Nope. Off the top of my head Warlocks are not Independent Characters however, so it's a very squishy and vulnerable 35-point Eldar HQ choice.

Welcome to the same world the DE have been living in. Fortunately, any of your Exarchs can be your Warlord, still giving you a Warlord trait.

This is why it's a bad idea.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life. |

If you're wanting to buy into Eldar without dropping pts into the HQ slot, why is it a bad idea?

Let me give you a correct answer to your actual question: yes, yes you can.
A warlock conclave is an hq bfr(and thus an hq choice for a non-formation detachment). A single warlock is the minimum for the conclave. Therefore the single warlock is a valid hq choice for your foc.
Since you stated you are taking eldar as allies i assume you are either taking them in an allied detachment, or a second xad; so the lack of warlord trait for the single warlock in the conclave does not matter.
The lack of ic only matters if you were expecting it to do much, but as you are taking it as a cheap hq just to get the other units you clearly do not care about its survivability(so keep it cheap, no upgrades).

This is my Rulebook. There are many Like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my rulebook is useless. Without my rulebook, I am useless.
Stop looking for buzz words and start reading the whole sentences.

All of that.

Put him on a bike and you have a 50pt scoring unit that can move 48" a turn...
