Hi there, i am new to warhammer and dwarves and was reading through the ironbreaker tactics on the GW website. It states that they have a 2+ armour save but from the army book, they only have gromril armour and a shield giving them a 3+ save. Could you please explain which is correct?

Thanks in advance, Chris

dont forget the +1 for hand weapon and sheild in combat

Units in close combat who have a shield and a normal hand weapon get another +1 to their armour save. Did you take this into consideration.

as they said Makes them tough little buggers to shift

 

[reakon]

no I didn't. I have the hardback rulebook but haven't had chance to have a good read through it yet and couldn't find any rules like this at a glance. I will have to find time to have a really thorough read through it. Is it the same for all armies then?

 

[Wade]

Yeah it's the same for all armies.

Only counts for mundane hand weapons though so characters don't get it if they have a magic weapon

So your Ironbreakers have a 3+ save vs missle weapons and a 2+ in close combat

gromril armour 4+ save
shield +1
hand weapon and shield +1

creating a 2+ save in combat and a 3+ save out of combat
