*Note that this is the minimum number required to claim a Rank Bonus. Ranks can contain more or fewer models as you wish, but in order for a rank to count towards Rank Bonus, it must contain at least this many models.
**Note that in some cases the maximum Rank Bonus a unit can claim can be increased by special rules. The maximum Rank Bonus a unit can claim can also be reduced by its formation, by spell effects, or by terrain.
