No test for 25% losses are ever taken during the combat phase (including odd situations when casualties happen not directly because of combat).

The rules on page 49 say that a unit must take a panic test at the end of any phase (except the close combat phase) if it has lost 25% or more of its models. Does this only refer to models killed during the combat themselves? What if some models are killed by a chariot fleeing through the unit, or any reason not directly caused by the combats, but still during the combat phase. Do these call for a panic test if 25% of a unit's models are killed?URL Copied!

If a Terror-causing model is charging, when do you measure the distance to the target? If you do that normally – in the Move chargers part of the Movement phase, which comes after the Compulsory moves, it's too late for the target unit to flee!URL Copied!
In the Declare Charges part of the Movement phase, first declare all normal charges and charge reactions. Once this is done, measure the ranges to see if Frenzied units must declare a charge and to see if Fear and Terror-causing units are in range of their targets, as these psychology rules may affect the declared charges and charge reactions (see also next question). Once all the charges and charge reactions have been determined, proceed with the Movement phase's normal sequence.

Following the answers above, if a unit is charged by a non-frenzied unit and declares a charge reaction, but in the same Declare Charges part of the Movement phase it is then charged by a Frenzied unit, can the unit change its charge reaction?URL Copied!
Yes.

Can Frenzied units declare charges as normal, or must they wait and exclusively use the rules for charging found on page 52?URL Copied!
They must wait for all the non-frenzied units to have declared charges (including reactions).

The rules for Frenzy say that frenzied "models" gain+1 Attack. How does this work with models that comprise of different parts, like a frenzied cavalry model or a frenzied Chariot with two steeds and two crew? And how about Hatred?URL Copied!
As with characters (see "Mounts' psychology" on page 79), the entire model is affected by the psychology rule. This means that both riders and steeds (in case of cavalry), all crew and creatures (in case of chariots) or both the character and the Monster he's riding, gain one Attack from Frenzy, can re-roll their attacks for Hatred, etc. Note also that if a part of such a "multiple" model causes Fear or Terror, or is affected by Stupidity, the entire model does (for example, only the beasts pulling a chariot may be stupid, but if the model fails its test, taken on the crew's leadership, all of the model is affected by Stupidity, including the crew). Note that the Mark of Khorne in the Hordes of Chaos book is an exception to this, as it clearly states that it only confers the extra attack to the rider/crew and not to the mounts/creatures pulling the chariot.

Are partially screened frenzied units allowed to declare charges? For example, if I have a unit of Warhounds partially screening a unit of frenzied Chaos Knights of Khorne are both units allowed to declare a charge at the same or different enemy units they can see?URL Copied!
If the screening unit is also declaring a charge (i.e. they intend to get out of the way), then the frenzied unit behind them can, and indeed must, declare a charge as well. If the screening unit does not declare a charge, the frenzied unit behind does not have to declare a charge, as it wouldn't be able to reach the intended target. If the screening unit were not to move far enough to clear the way (because they failed the charge, or if a Fear test stopped them in their tracks, and so on), then the frenzied unit behind them would also fail the charge, stopped by the screening unit getting in the way.
