FORMATIONS
"With 11 distinct classes of formation, you can take your choice from the C'tan-powered Tesseract Vault to an entire Battle Company of Space Marines!"
I would guess two of the missing three are Super-heavy Fliers and Gargantuan Creatures. Not sure what the 11th could be.
There are distinct icons for various formations:
Skull inside a Cog- Superheavy Vehicle
Three Skulls over 3 Arrows- Battle Formation
Xenos Skull with Mandibles- Gargantuan Creature?
Force Organization DOES seem to exist in Apoc in some form, as the Command Tank upgrade for Baneblade and Stormsword specifies that they both become a high command formation (bonus Strategic asset?) and a HQ choice.
---------------------------------------------------------------
STRATEGIC ASSETS
Each side gets a number of Strategic Assets equal to the total number of players on the largest side. Each player then chooses one, and if one side is smaller than the other, that sides "Warmaster" gets to choose the leftover objectives. Additionally, some High Command Formations and rules give a player (not side) bonus assets (which would explain why the command tank upgrade on the Baneblade is so expensive) Assets may not be duplicated on a side.
Asset Listing. Guesses/partials in bold. (63 total) Additionally, Battlezone Armageddon includes some additional assets.

My God this is going to be a huge book!
I don't see anything for the warlord Titan, that's a bummer
what about the warlord titan?
In my head this comment makes sense, let's hope it comes out that way.
Forgeworld Titans are pretty established within their own rules printed by Forgeworld in Imperial Armor books, I believe this new edition of the Core Rules for Apocalypse and the formations within will probably be based around the GW Product line, rather than FW.
We'll see, T-Minus 7 days and counting till we find out for sure!
I don't think we'll see rules for the warlord in the new apocalypse. GW don't release rules for units they don't have models for anymore.
It doesn't matter, you can just house rule it. The Apocalypse40K Forum is working on a new document that will have rules for all models, like the old BoLS Lords of Battle.
All that being said they had rules in the last APOC book for the warlord so it seems out of place to not include it in new editions. I wouldn't think the rules would change that much for the big guy.
