New to fantasy so here goes:
If i combine a High Elf "Helm of Fortune" with a shield, and heavy armour, do I have a 4+ armour save?

3+ armor save. Helmets are their own piece of armor unless otherwise stated.

"I have concluded through careful empirical analysis and much thought that somebody is looking out for me, keeping track of what I think about things, forgiving me when I do less than I ought, giving me strength to shoot for more than I think I am capable of. I believe they know everything that I do and think, and they still love me. And I’ve concluded, after careful consideration, that this person keeping score is me." -Adam Savage |

As Etna said...
Heavy armor gives you the 5+
Helm makes it a 4+ (This helm confers a 6+ armor save which can be combined....)
Shield makes it a 3+
If you decided to have that character ride a mount, you could further extend the save as well.

Thats good.
So does the dragon scale shield give a +2 to armour instead of +1 when combined with heavy armour?

Yes, but you cannot have the dragonscale shield along with the helm of fortune.
Both count as pieces of magical armor and you may only select one piece of magical armor.

So do ward saves combine the same way?
(I.e. Dragonscale shield + vambrances of defense = 3+ ward save)

negative, if ward saves combine it is VERY specific in the rules (such as mark of tzeentch or MR).

Ach! No!
That would be terrible. The BRB states, under Ward Saves, that this doesn't happen.
Everyone would have a general with a 2+ Ward if we could.

Even worse in fantasy where you get to roll armor then ward! Though that actually makes small ward saves valuable, as opposed to a 6+ invul in 40k being very meh.
