I just can't see any rules for this in the new book. For some reason I have a nagging suspicion that characters riding chariots receive the same armor save bonus as if they were riding the mount that pulls the chariots (a -2 bonus for a barded warhorse for example). I have a game in a few hours, and since I haven't played in months I just needed to check before being foolish!

What kind of save, except for the 4+ ward, does the War Altar provide?

The war alter has a 4+ armor and 4+ ward. It is in the army list entry.

As to chariots, I am pretty certain they get a 1+ armor bonus for being mounted as usual. Not 100% though, and I don't think they get the barding bonus.
