I read this in the FAQ here
http://www.eldaronline.com/FAQ.shtml===================
Can you still have five Warlocks in a unit with the Farseer, even if you assign Warlocks to Guardian, Wraithguard or Jetbike squads?
Nope. Five is the total maximum/Farseer. In other words, if you have two Farseers, you could have a total maximum of ten Warlocks in your army, etc.
===================
This conflicts of what was said here
===================
The Codex Eldar establishes the limit of 5 warlocks per farseer,
under the warlock entry, which says:
"they must either REMAIN in a unit with the farseer, or they may be assigned to join" appropriate squads that allow.
So they begin with the farseer, at a limit of 5, and then may be re-assigned by you. You cannot then re-fill the bodyguard, as per the "Each farseer allows you to field up to 5 warlocks" rule.
The only reason for a misunderstanding of this rule comes from a blurb in the Q&A which says:
If a Warlock is assigned to squad duty, he doesn't still count as one of the five in the Farseer's Retinue or the three in a Seer Council.
When asked to clarify that, wether they no longer count toward total warlocks, or count as part of the bodyguard,
the answer was pretty clear:
This is clarifying the point that Warlocks who are reassigned are no longer considered part of the original unit for the purposes of VPs, half strength and so forth.
So I can't count the warlock in my wraithguard as maintaining my mandatory 3 in the council (ulthwe' only) I will have to buy another..(ulthwe' only)
Or my warlock in the wraithguard doesn't count as part of the HQ choice for farseer+bodyguard anymore for the purposes stated above. That's all they were saying.
Nothing has ever allowed more than 5 total warlocks per farseer except for the Ulthwe' list where there is no limit, as they will likely run a lot of guardian and WG squads, and they have lots of warlocks in their craftworld to go around.
Hope this clears it up, I know you're tired of the issue, I really think this needed to be posted in this FAQ section.

Which is right?
