Um . . . GW at work again. Look in the armies list under the example
detachments. Apparently Eldar and Orks don't pay the +25 to make Farseers
and Warbosses HQ units, but Marines and Chaos Marines do.

Captain in Rhino - 57 points (25+25+7)
Farseer on Bike - 65 points (50+15)
Warboss - 40 points (40)
Chaos Lord in Rhino - 52 points (25+25+7?, must be a typo)

These point values make sense, even if it is incredibly inconsistent. A
farseer for 50 points is pretty close to a Librarian for 60. And the
previously discussed example of making a warlock stand a commander for
slightly less thant he 50 points for a farseer certainly seems reasonable.
OTOH, if someone tried to insist that I pay 75 points for a farseer, I would
never take anything but regular warlocks.

Luv that man o' mine,
