When a character joins a unit they are placed in its front rank, displacing one or more rank and file models (not including command group models) to the rear rank as required, as shown in Fig 207.1. If the character's base does not fit neatly within the unit's ranks, position the model on the unit's flank, adjacent to, and in base contact with, its front rank.

Should a unit turn or reform, any character models within, or adjacent to, its front rank must be repositioned into, or adjacent to, the new front rank once the unit's movement is complete.

If there is no room for a character within a unit's front rank, it is placed in the rear rank.
