Hello, just got a simple question for you, does ranks have to be 5-man or 10-man or does it matter? Or can you make any sized rank you want (altho not gaining rank bonus under 5) ?

CSM 40k : ~4.3k
Skaven : FB ~2,5k
Daemons FB & 40k ~1,7k
Lizardmen 1k

Lotsa chaos

For normal infantry its 5 minimum for a rank

For monstrous infantry its 3 minumum for a rank

you can make ranks of any size even 1.

if you want combat resolution ( or rank breaking ) you have to have 5 or more infantry or 3 or more monterous infantry.

having 10(6 monsterous) frontage is horde rules.

To get any form of rank bonus, you need a row of guys that is at least 5 wide (3 for monstrous as previously stated).

If they were photos that you've seen that have ranks of only 4, it's possible that the photos are from the previous edition, where 4 guys did equal a rank.

Bretts are the exception to this since their lance formation allows 3 wide to equal a rank.

Read the damn OP people, he was asking if he can forego his rank bonus to make himself less wide, and to that the answer is yes. He can even make his unit a 1 wide conga line and it would still be a legal formation.

Cav certainly (monstrous cav need 3), as for chariots there is no special rule so 5 for a rank it is.

Are TKs the only army that gets units of chariots? Most army books that I can think of buy chariots as units of 1 (and only 1) model.

O&G have them now as well; the Wolf Chariots can be taken in a unit of 1-3.

I suggest you don't believe anything posted by thedarkavenger unless confirmed by other regular posters here at Dakka. He has shown he is incapable of basic English comprehension.
