Rhinox Armor save

original thread ↗

I have a question about how to calculate the armor save for Rhinox Riders.

The rules state that they come equiped with Light Armor which when combined with the tough hide of the Rhinox grants a 4+ AS. Upgrading to Heavy Armor would move that to 3+ (2+ in hth with an ironfist).

So do they then also get another +1 due to being on a mount (making the save 2+/1+ hth) or is that included in the initial 4+?

Thanks!
I believe the tough hide part states that it is +2 instead of the normal +1 for mounts, but I could be wrong, I don't have the rules in front of me.

I would totally play a Bear army. Bears riding bears?!

Tough hide adds changes the mounted bonus from +1 to +2, so a maximum save of 2+. Orc boars and cold ones have similar rules.

If by RAW, you mean "Reg06's Audacious Whims", then you'd be right.

Thanks. Just to confirm, a Rhinox Rider with heavy armor and iron fist would then have a 3+ save vs shooting and a 2+ save in hand to hand, correct?
That is correct.

Don't think i need to open a new thread but i can't access the rhinox rules on the canadian site, or indeed the site.

Sadly i need the pdf for an upcoming tournament, the organisers said i can use them if i can provide them the pdf to attach to their rules package. Would it be possible for someone to either email it to me or provide some form of link that can direct me to it...???

it would be greatly appreciated. And in return i'll post my work in progress riders  :lol:
Well, the pdf isn't available on the "revamped" GW site (which I have come to hate with the very fiber of my being), nor is it available on the Australia/New Zealand site, which still needs to be updated to the new, terrible design.
But, if you google "rhinox riders article" the first link is to the GW Canada pdf. But it doesn't exist anymore so you go directly to the mainpage. But! If you click to view the web page as HTML instead, you get this;

I haven't got a rulebook, but do mounted units no longer get a parry bonus? iIf they still do wouldn't a rhinox rider would have a 1+ save?
The parry bonus only applies to models on foot.
