Shields on Darkshards
So, I'm new to WFB and my friend has been playing for years he swears that if i pay for a shield for my dark shards that in melee they do not receive the 6+ parry save.... I interpreted the rules to saying that hand Weapon + shield in CC gives you the parry save am i correct?
Re: Shields on Darkshards
They sure get the parry save.
The reason your friend might have a doubt is that 'special weapons' includes missile weapons (bottom p.88).
However, the next page tells that models have to use their 'close combat special weapon' instead of the hand weapon, and a RXB is by no mean a close combat weapon.
Overall, p.88 applies fully, the RXBmen fight in melee with their hand weapon, and hand weapon & shield = parry save from frontal attacks (except stomp & impact).
