===Warzone: Damnos Formations===
*'''Translocator Flight:''' Drop in 3-5 Night Scythes. Brought to you by Damnos: The Grave-Maker! On the off-chance you have units that can’t deep strike for whatever reason, use this. The minimum 3 Night Scythes lets you use the 15” pie plate to take d3+1 units across the table. So, for 4 inches between each base, with 12 more for any of those units within a given Nightscythe +72” in base translocation could take you between 92” and 104”. Or an inconceivable 7 and 8.5 feet!  Per turn!  300 pts never tasted so good.
**Really, you could DS epic hordes of Warriors/Immortals, without scatter thanks to the right asset, right in front of enemy lines as long as a substantial portion of them are under the template. Even just 2 Night Scythes lets you use the 10” plate. This will wreck games and make folks flip tables.
*'''Doom Scythe Deathbringer Flight:''' 3-5 Doom Scythes to be fired.
*Perfect for wrecking vehicles or hordes of units for +1/2 against their number in S10 AP2 hits.
*'''Canoptek Swarm:''' Join 1-3 Spyders with 3-6 Scarabs, with one of the Spyders to be leader.
**Play this on the first turn. See Damnos book. Buy some instant mold and some sculpt dough, then save the cash to buy the Canoptek spyders and bases if you can’t mold things. Perfect formation for trashing enemy fortifications. 2-3 of those, with 40-60 scarabs total, should provide enough chances to destroy nearly all enemy cover/buildings.  Expect to see more of mountains and forests for future boards as a result of this formation.  As an extra bonus, when they DS, they get Shrouded.
*'''Lawbringer Phalanx:''' A Stalker joins 2+ Units of Praetorians.
**I suppose if you have the models...in any case, for the white dwarf version over the Warzone: Damnos book. Use the white dwarf version, if at all. The stalker could get void shields, extra AV and help the stupid praetorians not die.
*'''Ghost Strider Phalanx:''' 1-3 Ghost Arks, 1-3 Warriors, 1-3 Tomb Blades.
**As above, except the damnos one is ok. White Dwarf is still better. Can deep strike as a group once per game. Pair up with the Precise Coordinates strategic asset and you can potentially wreck a Titan. Use the white dwarf version instead. Quantum Shielding allows arks to have AV 15, but you need to roll 2+ to pass hits of any kind [even destroyer hits] onto the Tomb Blades.
*'''High Court of Damnos:''' The Court has unique characters: An Overlord with Warscythe and Phase Shifter, an Overlord with the Staff and Tachyon Arrow, an Overlord with the Staff and a Rez Orb, and a Harbinger of Transmogrification with a tremorstave and harp of Discord.
**The Shifter lord gets +2 on his Ever-Living rolls and gives all Warriors and Immortals within 24" Fearless.  He's meant to get in the thick of it and ensure that those goons do too.
**The Arrow Lord must roll a d6 for every enemy within 18" of him.  On a 6, the enemy takes d3 random S8 AP5 hits (Which hit on the side armor)
**The Rez Lord gives everyone within 24" Stealth.  Kinda...meh compared to the others, but it gets the job done.
**The Cryptek gives everyone rerolls on failed saves while he's alive.
*'''Court of the Flayer King:''' An Overlord joins some Flayed Ones.  WHY?  Read on ahead!
**Warzone Damnos gave us the impossible: A reason to play with Flayed Ones! One pack and an Overlord gets you a high command unit. Which means you could cheaply get a high command formation and free strategic asset with some spare ghost ark bodies and green stuff.
** With the new Flayed Ones, this formation is pretty nasty. You don't even need to have the Overlord join the Flayed Ones. Infiltrate them in and soak up all the fire from your 4+/3+ FnP. Next turn charge in with your 6 attacks EACH, re-rolling because of Hatred, then re-rolling wounds because of Shred. Obscene.
*'''Host of the Red Harvest:''' A Destroyer Lord joins 3+ squads of 3+ Destroyers for mass destruction.
**Something you do with an extra Destroyer Lord and too many destroyers. The normal ones get to fire all-together to make a flamer template and the heavies can fire together to make a STR: D weapon. Maybe not that great, but then again, since they count as one unit according to the book, they’re harder to route...
*'''Warzone Damnos Pylon:''' A variant of the traditional/Forgeworld pylon. Use the Forgeworld book instead.
