Models that fail are removed from the game, and placed into Ongoing Reserves, first dropping any items picked up via any special rule during the duration of the game. They form a new unit in Ongoing Reserves that retains the same Formation and special rules as before. They are considered to be your units, under your control, for the remainder of the game. Every aspect of them treats them as being under your control. Models taken control of in this manner count as being removed as casualties for effects that trigger on them being removed as casualties; any models that they could summon, can be summoned again under your control.

If all models in a unit is taken under your control in this manner, it counts as destroying that unit in terms of victory conditions. Destroying them or performing certain actions in combat against them will therefore grant victory points to your opponent, and you can hold objectives with them if those units were allowed to before they entered your control. 

Models that pass the Leadership test cannot be affected by this spell again until the beginning of your next turn.
