Anyone had any experience with Apocalypse Formations?

I'm looking to build up to an Apocalypse scale army. I already have a Revenant Titan and a Nightwing. I'm looking at the different formations to see what looks good.

The Pheonix Court of Khaine seems to be a waste of the Pheonix lords who would be better off leading one of their Aspect units

The Great Court of the Young king looks great until you realise that you need to keep a lot of units within 12" of the Avatar for it be of any use which is completly pointless as you end up having to try and balance Dark Reapers and Shining Spears in the same formation (unless I am missing something).

I'm lovin' the Shard of the Voidweaver, throwing around 10" blast markers with 3 S6 hits for everyone underneath seems pretty tasty. And I like Warp spiders anyway so seems attractive.

The Sunstorm looks nasty as well, but I just can't bring myself to paint 6 Fire Prisms

I'm also liking the Aspect Assault Wave for getting the fighty units such as Banshees and Scorps into the front lines quickly whilst being very protected - reducing enemy shooting to max of S7 is handy if going up against some super heavies - specially if you then drop a 10 strong squad of Fire Dragons in front of Mr Baneblade

Also thinking of getting a Phoenix to join the Nightwing in the sky. They seem fragile but they can bring some frightning firepower down and as you need a 6 to hit them I can see them making unattractive targets especially as weapon range is reduced by 12"

Anyone played with flyers?
