i Just started to play WHFB and i was building my Skarmy when a friend of mine broke my beautiful vision telling me that unit size limit is 40!
Is that true? i cannot find it on the rulebook or on an up-tp-date post in internet; my last hope is to get infused with Dakka common knowledge.
Thanks to who care to help me

I dont know what a SKarmy is but only army that has a max unit size is Brettonia

Skarmy I assume to be a Skaven army. Your friend may referring to composition restrictions at a local tournament or club. Generally speaking there are no unit size limits (though exceptions abound). You should ask him where the restriction comes from. It may be something your local group uses as a standard house rule, but it is by no means universal.

Each unit in an army book lists the minimum and maximum.

If you have local rules, however, that can trump things.

But no, 40 is not a magic number across the board. Each unit is completely different.

As above. There is NO general rule limiting units to 40 models, however army books themselves may limit your unit size

Thanks for all the answers, this is all i need to know (i was pretty sure to had already seen unit of 40+ but never say never)!

field units of 100 slaves. Usually pretty effective.

Mke sure to use the official GW models for them

Yeah I would field a block of 100 slaves out of spite.
