So, as title says, is he? I made up a sample list using him as such, but now I'm not so sure. The rules for allied formations were included in his data slate, but it doesn't actually say he is one.

I know some other sites have written articles about using him as an allied formation, but I can't find any links to them at the moment, will post here again if I do.

I thought it said he takes up an HQ slot for Chaos Daemons and Chaos Space Marines.

He is not an allied formation.

He is an HQ for CD or CSM.

Alright, thanks guys. I think the web pages i mentioned in the OP have realized their mistakes and have been taken down, since I can't find them anywhere, and I'm positive I read on of them on BoLS.

His data slate says he is an army list entry. A formation counts as a detachment of the codex the formation is from, an entry can be used in a detachment of that codex.

So Belakor can be used in a CSM or CD army, whereas the storm wing could be used in any army that could ally with SM.
