IMPORTANT: It is worth noting that the rulebook actually specifically references formations as a 'special type of detachment'. Going forward, this article will assume you are building a battleforged list, unless otherwise stated.Ģ: What are detachments and formations, and what is the difference between them? Otherwise, stick to using the battleforged rules. There are other factors that may be involved, as well, however, simply accept that, if you wish to play unbound, you should first make sure every player involved in the game is aware and okay with you doing so. The reason for this is because, unbound is largely frowned upon in most communities, due to the perceived notion that, by bringing unbound, you simply want to bring nothing but the singular, most powerful units available to you. Note, since you can freely include units as you see fit, you can bring all of the units that make up a detachment if you wish, however as the detachment is, itself, not allowed, you cannot benefit from the special rules provided by the detachment.Ĭonventionally, every army you build, will be battleforged. However, detachments are NOT allowed in an Unbound army. Formations may be included, as well, so long as they abide by their normal restrictions. Unbound: Models and units may be included in this army freely, without being attached to a formation or detachment. This type of army is often referred to as a 'bound' army, as well, due to its opposing term, unbound. Both detachments and formations may be included in a battleforged army. Strictly per the rules, the following is the only difference between the two:īattleforged: All units and models included in a battleforged army MUST be part of either a detachment or formation. Whether you are doing one or the other is decided before you actually begin creating your army and picking said detachments or formations.
