GW and not the shields. i understand the difference, but my question is this: the book says you may ALSO take shields as well as saying you may ALSO take GW. so can you take both the shield+GW, or no? i know you cant use the GW and the shield in cc, but they will do much better surviveing shooting, as well as haveing that 3+ save in cc if you use the shield (heavy armour+shield+hand weapon/shield.) its the same points for a quarreller, but you get GW and shield saves.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432088/3953592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432088/3953592.page GMT Dwarf warrior question. GW for it. Plus, in CC your hand weapon and shield would give you a 6+ parry save, which is a ward save that can only be used in cc. You would not add armour on top of that. So you would either get heavy armour (5+) and GW, or heavy armour (5+) and a parry save (6+ ward). Hope that helps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432088/3953987.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432088/3953987.page GMT Dwarf warrior question.
So in essence buying shields for your great weapon warriors simply gives them an extra "pip" of armor save against shooting and magic. Not a terrible investment, but most times you are trying to find points for things elsewhere, these are the first to go.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432088/3953993.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432088/3953993.page GMT Dwarf warrior question.

Wait, what? I'm pretty sure you'd get heavy armour + shield (4+), and a parry save (6+). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432088/3954015.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432088/3954015.page GMT Dwarf warrior question. AS) would indeed be a 4+ AS not a 3+. So in CC if you have HW and Shield you would have a 4+/6++]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432088/3954774.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432088/3954774.page GMT Dwarf warrior question. cc. the ward save must have replaced it. i was just hopeing to get my warriors to be more survivable but have the ability to kill stuff better.
