Its the battle healing cap, in this game its not told to you that it exists until it comes into play, which is when your max-HP is lower than what HP you can regen (in game 2 it did tell you how much HP you could regen on the unit card).

Its to prevent infinite healing strats from breaking the game, and every unit can regenerate 75% of their maximum HP (so if you have 10000HP you can regen 7500HP, regardless if you entered with 2000HP or 10000HP).

For units that arent single entities, they also have this, but they cannot regen past their original health (so if a unit has 5000/10000HP, you can only regen up to 5000HP in this battle).

Another thing is that units cannot replenish their lost models (unless the spell/ability allows it), which means that they can only replenish up to whatever models they have left (lets say a unit of 100 has 1000HP, which means each model has 10HP. if you lose 50 models, you lose 500HP, but you cannot ever regen that HP because the models are lost. However if you somehow lost 500HP WITHOUT losing models, you can regen that HP. Which is why monsters and cavalry are good to be paired with healing, while infantry isnt, as they have bigger HP pools per model compared to infantry).

Yet single entities are not bound to this restriction, they can regen their HP past with what they entered (if you have 3000/10000HP, you can get back to 10000HP despite not starting with it).

There are also some factions/lords that have the ability to increase that battle healing cap (for vampires an easy example is Helman Ghorst). So those can regen more than 75% due to those abilities.

Hopefully that clears up what that vertical bar is.

You mean the battle regen cap? Yeah, you can't just regen forever.

There is a limited number of HP points that can be regenerated. No doubt there's a mod somewhere to remove it.

I am not sure I understand but I guess you are talking about the regen cap.
You simply can't regen past a certain point with unit, it is indicated by a vertical bar that show up on your hp bar (the one you are talking about).
You can also see how much is the regen cap if you over your cursor on your hp on the unit card

its suppose to prevent you from just healing for ever thats why it does it. If your army is taking that much dmg you need to rethink your strategy and army composition. Like yes in some cases you can end up getting hit a lot but if its a problem in every fight than you need a different army.

Regen cap, you can't one man doomstack without either a pile of other defenses or cycle charging and dodging like mad to avoid taking damage to begin with.

Both are entirely possible but stacking healing alone won't get it done.

Edit: Or play Tzeentch. Kairos is something of an army himself

Some factions can increase this battle healing cap. But in general, you cannot heal for more then 75% of your max hp per battle
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

ohh okey those are fine :D they will often take a ton of dmg. I suppose he just needs more spells to clear out the enemies before his hp runs out
