Grain of Sand
Too damn close to the Mason Dixon line.

My Tomb Kings Army book lists my skeleton heavy horsemen as having light armor, a shield, a hand weapon, AND a spear. So I'm not sure if I get the -2 save requirement for having HW and Shield, or the -1 save requirement for having a spear and shield.
The way I would personally interpret it is that if I attack in 2 ranks I lose the armor save, but if I only attack in one rank I get to keep it; but that's just conjecture.
Does anyone know the official rule for this?

you chose what you fight with.
best of using spear on the charge then HW and sheld.
isnt it only inf. that can fight in more than 1 rank with spears?
take a quick looky at the BRB.

 Suffused with the dying memories of Sanguinus, the warriors of the Death Company seek only one thing: death in battle fighting against the enemies of the Emperor. |

Only the +1 save if you opt to use the spear. You don't get the HW&Shield bonus if you're mounted. (page 56 of the rule book for reference)
Also, you don't get to fight in ranks with spears when mounted, you get +1Strength on the charge bonus instead.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks a bunch.

Light armor, 6 save
shield, 5+ save
mounted, 4+ save.
No other modifiers apply.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

Can't change weapons during a fight unless you're Bretonnians(lance on charge then can change).

Yeah, not only can you not change weapons after the first round, there is no benefit to do so, since mounted troops don't get the +1 bonus for handweapon and shield.

Bretonnian characters can use the nice magic weapons they bought after using a Lance on the charge.

yes, but that is their special rule. the general rule is you can't swich from one weapon to the other. and you must always use a magic weapon if you have it.
