Heroes : Henchmen Ratio

In my campaign group, one of the members insists a warband has to have an equal ration of Heroes to Henchmen and can never have more Heroes then Henchmen, I'm not too fussed over this but can't find it anywhere in the rulebook?

Anyone have a reference?

No such rule.

Infact, you can have absolutely no henchmen if you'd like.

In Warhammer Fantasy, there are certain ratios you need for special, rare, and hero/lord units. Not in Mordheim though.

I knew it!

Ironically, if I had known about this rule before, my three Dwarves (Related Post) Took a turn for the worst, I probably wouldn't be in this situation.

The best thing to do is always get as many Heroes as you can right from the start, these are the only way to earn money and most of the time are no dearer than henchmen, and there are no rules saying that you can't do so. And never have more than 3 henchmen in any group, some people have only one per group but i find 2 to 3 a better ratio as it always keeps the group alive. Until you reach max upgrades then just let them get killed off naturally.

This is BS.

There is no such rule as Dulu said. There are, however, some restrictions for certain warbands, like Orcs & Goblins who may hove only up to two Goblins per Orc.
