| Slight problem occured with playing my friends today.
To cut it short, one friend was curious as to why my henchmen groups were breaking unit coherency (him being a 40k player it seemed odd to him) and then me and the other friend pondered if there was unit coherency within the rules.
I can't find anything that says there is, but have I missed it? Is there some unwritten rule about it? Theoretically one could hide a member of each henchman group and thus ensure their survival each game for the experience points... But other than that (even if that tactic was possible every game) I don't see any problems without breaking coherency.
Something I've not considered or a rule I haven't found? | |

| No, you have been playing it right. There is no unit coherency in Mordheim, the closest thing is the All Alone rule (or whatever it is called) | |

| There is no real need to hide one henchman of each group becaue the +1 XP for survival applies if any member of your group survives. "Survives" here means that it does die, and die = roll of 1 or 2 on the serious injury table. So if you have a henchman group of four people and all of them are taken out during combat chances are that most of them survive (ie roll a 3+ on the injury table) so you will get the +1 XP anyways. I am saying this because many people believe that a model that was taken out of action during the battle does not gain the +1 for surviving which is wrong. If you are already aware of this, please ignore this entire post. | |

| Do not feel bad. I run the campaign and one of my players that didn't read rules pointed it out to me one night like 5 years ago or so. Changed everything!
Every now and then I re-read the rule book just to remind myself of them... | |

Yeah. We played this way too! But sort of makes sense after all... But we never "hide one henchmen" for the group to improve. That's just twisted genius! | |

| Well, then I'm glad you've been enlightened. Otherwise models would advance way too slow so it's good that it's how it is. | |

and have infinite more chance on getting a lgt advancement Sadly, this is a major reason to keep henchmen appart, one that I've adopted to stay alive in my group's campaigns although, being a fan of fluff, whenever I point them in different groups, I almost always: 1. arm them differently, so they have a different strength/weakness 2. give them unique names, rather than just 'swordsman 1'. If they ARE different, it seems only to the rest of the group to keep them separate! | |

| We have a house-rule that any henchmen bought at the same time (ie. when you form the warband) with the same equipment must be in the same group. Gives the whole warband more character. And on names: we always give them names whether their in groups or not. | |

| I hate to see a good henchman die (seems to happen to me all the time), that is why I try to always run them in groups of at least 2 so I can buy them again. If they get a good advance great, you can start buying more of them, if one dies I spend a little bit more and all that experience isn't wasted. I tend to run my guys like I would a 40k unit not that I have to but because it makes them more dangerous when they can back up each other, and not have to worry about all alone tests etc. I also like to name them. | |

| I like to start off with lots of 1 man henchmen groups. This allows me a higher chance to get my LGT rolls and also minimizes the chance of getting a crappy increase on 5 henchmen. Once I get a few LGT heroes and some good increases (+1 A, BS, WS, etc) I drop the henchmen groups I don't want and start buying new members for the ones I want to keep. | |
