Certain spells, most notably Regrowth from the Lore of Life, allow you to resurrect models that have been killed or even add extra models to a unit. What happens if some or all of the models added to a unit do not fit at the back? (Reference)URL Copied!
Any models that do not have space to be placed at the back of the unit are lost. If, for example, your unit has been charged in its rear facing then you would be able to complete the back rank and any excess models are lost.

The unit can still be increased back to 20 models. You can resurrect the model that was carrying the standard as a rank and file model.
