What would the effect be of giving a Hive Tyrant extended carapace (+1 save) and Warp Field (2+/6i)?

Would there be

A: No Effect

B: Immune to AP2 Weapons, but still roll a 2+?

C: Something else I dont know of?

Thanks!

Nothing happens. A Save can never be modified to better than 2+.

Not that it matters, the carapace only improves the natural armour save, and then warp field gives a 2+ save.

There are two effects (though neither influences the armor save):
1) The Tyrant gains an Invulnerable save from Warp Field.
2) You waste points on Extended Carapace.

So you agree it is a moot point?

Totally. Thanks guys. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on something amazing.

No.
There is nothing that is subject to debate.
