There's a difference between a hero and a Hero... it's that vital capital 'H' that means 'best skill 10W2 or more' :) A Hero Band should have a leader of real importance; Harrek had his Hero Band, and they had him.

They will start that way, but they should quickly find a purpose, or else why do the local populace stand for them? What good do they do that makes it worthwhile feeding and housing them?

Oh, absolutely, but first you must get to the level of power that allows you to defy all the usual rules. You have to be somehow popular/Heroic enough for people to throw food, gold, and their daughters, at you, or nasty enough that they can't stop you. A 5W starter, even a dozen of them with Followers, isn't that tough.
