Experience and Advances, Mordheim (Where?)

I looked through the LRB for mordheim, and could not find where you advance. I looked at the roster sheet, and that only goes up to 10 or so. At what number of experience do you advance?

Also, since the Highborn starts with 20 xp, does that mean that you roll for advances before starting the campaign, or that it takes him longer to get advances?

Then look again on page 81. You advance, when you get to the thick lined box on the roster sheet. Heroes with non-zero starting experience do not get advances for it.

You don't roll advances until you reach another one of the thick-lined squares on the roster sheet.

As for the Highborn, it means he is already skilled and so, it is harder to make him advance

Yeah, each tick of a boldened box gives you an advance roll, and any XP heroes have is purely "fictional" (i.e. it's just there for you to call him "hero" and count it to determine your warband's strength, and isn't written down on the roster).
Now, go comment on the Alpha, already.

The roster sheet has 14 experience boxes on it. You cannot fit 20 xp on to the roster sheet. The rulebook says that you advance when you get up to a thick-lined box on the roster. It doesn't have an example (what is the greatest amount of xp on a character).

And where does it say that I can't use advance rolls (since the highborn appears to start with fairly low stats, and would probably have some special skills or whatever)

The roster has two pages. You are probably talking about the "Henchmen" page, which really has only 14 boxes per henchmen group. The other page, called "Heroes", has more boxes (I was too lazy to count them).

And where does it say that I can't use advance rolls

On page 81, left collumn, third paragraph.

I would not say, that highborn's stats (from alpha list) ar so low. He is still a bit better, than general next-door elf (compare with armybook).

However, if you think, that he should be better, this is a good time to post the opinion to to alpha list thread.

It's about fourty to fifty I think. Personally I think the highborn is a damn good leader for his cost.
