40K Apocalypse Formations
Lots of folks have been digging through the GW site to find out what Apoc Formations are in the book. Here’s what made the cut:
So with some detective work, we know how many pages of Formations are in the Apoc book, and we know how many formations Games Workshop put up on the company website. It’s looking like this is the list of what’s in there:
via MajorWesJanson (well done sir – well done!)
“All the formations from GW that are available as 1-click bundles have page numbers, which leave some gaps. The list includes my best guesses on what will be in those gaps, based on various previews, the previous Apoc books, and the current range of FW superheavies. That list works out to 107 entries known or suspected entries with page numbers, out of a supposed 112 total. Not including the Battlezone Armageddon Formations which are separate. Question mark after the name means it is a guess whether it is included. Question mark after the page number means it is known to be included, but not confirmed to be that page.”

I’m hoping GW gets it in gear and cranks out a few dozen more formations for the folks who bought them last time.
So lets get a headcount – how many of you have favorite Apocalypse Formations and what are they?. My favortie is my Vindicator Linebreaker Squadron that combined shots into the 10″ pieplate that removed terrain. Have at it.
