Warhammer Rulebook

Observant readers will have noticed that the best save on the armour chart is 2+ on a D6. It is possible to get a better save than this, for example magic armour can improve the wearer's armour save, but it is never possible to get a better basic armour save than 1+ before save modifiers are applied. If a model has a save of 1+ its armour will automatically save against Strength 3 or weaker hits.

Maximum Save (Shooting)

Once movement is complete it is time to work out your shooting. Troops armed with bows, crossbows, or other missile weapons may shoot at any enemy targets they can see. You may also shoot with any war machines such as stone throwers, bolt throwers and cannons, although the rules for these are covered in a separate section of the rulebook. There is no particular order in which shooting must be resolved. Nominate one of your units you want to shoot with and select the enemy target you wish to shoot at. For example, in the situation below you might choose to shoot your Bretonnian bowmen at the Goblin wolf riders or at a unit of Goblin spearmen. Once you have declared your target measure the range and resolve shooting using the rules described. Continue until you have shot with everything able to do so including any war machines you have.
