http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net SoB player im not feeling the love on the formation front. So as it says in the book, ive had a go at putting a few of them together myself. One of the below is based on an existing 1st ed Apocalypse formation (The Repentent Host) but with a bit of an update.

Let me know what you think, are any over-powered or under-powered. Ive tried to keep to similar levels of special rules as other formations in the apoc book. Im planning on play-testing a couple of these at some point in the near future as well.
