O&G question from game last night ...

[Dyvim tvar]

It did not occur to me until after my game, but my opponent had a unit of Goblin Wolfriders with a 4+ save, and he was moving them as fast cavalry (including vanguard move).

I don't have the O&G book, but can someone who has it tell me if they retain the Fast Cavalry rule when armored to a 4+?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the wolfriders can indeed have a 4+ save and retain fast cav. It surprised me the first time as well when my buddy fielded "heavy cav" in his all gobbo list :-)

That is surprising. I don't think it's unbalanced, just unexpected. Thanks.
