So I was looking at the Fatesworn Warband, which consists of the following:
- 1 MORTAL TZEENTCH HERO
- 9 MORTAL TZEENTCH units

So, basic question: do Heroes count as units? They certainly seem to from my reading of the rules, where it just describes models acting in units of one or more.

Seems right to me. Looks like you need 10 units of which at least one must be a hero.

Yes, lone models are also "units". According to the rules (pg 1):

"Models fight in units. A unit can have one or more models..."

So a hero is basically a one man unit, and so is a monster.

Cheers!

EDIT: This question is more important than it first may seem, as some scenarios award victory for units escaping or holding stuff, which means you can do these things with heroes and monsters too.

As long as the warscroll contains the keywords "TZEENTCH" and "MORTAL"... So 10 Archaons should do it...
