I'm playing the latest official release of the mod, GS5, as chaos. I am playing with reincarnation but it's not working as expected for me - I am not able to keep the unit.
It works fine in that it turns a dead unit (friendly only) into another creature of roughly the same power. I thought if I let the whole company die, had at least one spot open, and then reincarnated one of its members that maybe I could keep the new unit, but it didn't work that way. Basically you get the new unit for the battle only, and it has the portrait of the whatever it was before it died.
On the other hand, when I used it on a single dead unit in an existing company, it DID work (still with an open spot in the army). Hmm. I'll keep updating my post with info.
Since Chaos units are so flimsy early on I thought it would be fun to get them mauled and change them into something more useful.
-------
Update - here is the record of my attempts
All vanished after combat, did not form new group or had wrong portrait in an existing group
1. Completely dead unit of stick throwers --> 1 dark halberd
2. Completely dead unit of raiders --> 1 goblin archer
3. Single dead raider --> 1 lizardman infantry
Worked as intended (I think) with new portait and group in army
1. Single dead goblin --> 1 fire elemental
