As already described earlier, the leader model must be placed in the middle of the front rank of the unit. The unit's standard bearer, musician, Champion and any characters that have joined the unit, must also be placed in the front rank. When the unit turns round to face the side or rear its leader, together with standard, musician and any characters, are automatically rearranged into the front rank.

Except as discussed elsewhere, these special models, including any characters which have joined the unit, are always positioned in the front rank, with the leader in the middle.
