How does one treat a formation to the other elements in your army? I.E Cypher Formation and Orks. (I don't have Cypher, this is just an example) I don't recall it saying anything in the rulebook, and looking back over, I still don't see it.
Any help is appreciated, thanks Dakka.

Also: Am I limited to 1 Formation per army? I was told I am, but cannot find it. I imagine such a statement doesn't exist.

Each formation counts as a separate detachment in your army. You can have as many detachments as you like...

So, as it is a detachment, I treat it as a Battle Brother/Allies of Convenience/ Desperate Allies/CtA?

Yes. But possibly some formations dont have specified their relationship to all factions, then they wouldn't be allowed.

Each formation is made up of units from a specific Codex. Furthermore, each Dataslate says which Faction the formation is from.

For example, Fallen Champions (Cypher and 1-3 units of Chosen) is from Faction: Chaos Space Marines.
