GodEmperorOfMankind Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So I have the Stormwing dataslate formation, but the question is equally valid for any formation type. How many can I use? Am I limited to 1 specific formation each, but can have many different ones as I like? Am I only allowed 1 formation at all? Or can I spam as many as I can fit in the points?

Brother Casman Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I've bumped this over to Official Rules, so hopefully you'll get an answer here. I'll even take a stab at answering the questions, too. If you have the iBook version of the Stormwing Dataslate, on page 2, in the first paragraph of the Formations section, the rules indicate that "[unless] otherwise stated, you can take any number of Formations in your army" hope that helps! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Taken from one of my Dataslates: A Formation presents a collection of two or more units that fight alongside one another in a particular way. When you choose an army, you can take a Formation as a special form of Detachment. Unless otherwise stated, you can take any number of Formations in your army, and each is considered to be a completely separate Detachment, regardless of how many units make it up. So there is no limit, save that you must be able to fit a primary detachment in somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yep... that darn points total problem will kick in pretty quick, as most of the formations are over 400pts base. There is one exception- characters, such as Cypher. They are 'unique' and you can only have one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperorOfMankind Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Cheers guys I appreciate the responses. So in essence I could take a captain, two tactial squads and then spend the rest of my points on storm ravens and talons? Woo hoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yep, it may or may not be the most effective force ever fielded, but if your group is ok with formations then its legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
