Regarding Calculation of Warband Rating

When calculating warband rating, there is a spot for total members (x5), which I understand.

However, there is also a part for "Total Henchman Experience." If the Henchman Group has 5 members, with 2 experience each, would the total be 10? Or just 2? My guess would with two, since they're less consequential than their hero counterparts.

Any help would be appreciated.

10

Yes the group experience is 10.

Yup, 10.

Numbers count in Mordheim - very bad to be ganged up on.

I guess that why henchmen only level at 2, 5, 9 & 14 exp points,
and heroes will level at 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 41, 46, 51, 57, 63, 69, 76, 83 & 90 exp points

One houserule my circle uses is that we only add xp that counts towards levels. This means that mid-game and late game when you have games where noone levels you don't have to recalculate xp. This means less time book-keeping and more time playing.

when I am writing-up my warband in the Equipment Section just above the Group Exp I write the number of henchmen and the exp each have and the total.

3 hench X 4 Exp = 12

Also when I get any increase I put the name of what I got, and the exp I got it at.
So If I rolled at +1 Attack at 2 exp then I would write:
A2

On heroes it gets a little more tricky, I would do the same thing, but I have + or - because of injuries. So Let's say I had a +1 BS at 2 LGT/Strongman at 5 exp, then he gets a chest wound that is -1 T, and a strength Increase at 6 I would write it like this:
+1 BS (2), LGT/Strongman (5), -1 T (inj), +1 Str (6)

If I were to get 2 chest woulds then I would put:
-2 T (2 inj)

This can get around confusion on Level-up when you spent Exp, when you got what. With the LGT if you get LGT after 5 you lose-out on increases. So you never have that LGT that you don't go, ok he's got 10 exp, but only 3 stat increases, did I forget 1 or did he level-up at 9 so he skipped one? You know so you don't have those questions.
