Daemons of Chaos rule book. Page 85. Blood chariot of Khorne armor save is 3+.
Yet, adds only +2 to characters armor save (pg. 64 of the 7th ed. Fantasy rulebook)? Fishy... but true.

Anyhow, this is still an error to be resolved. Right now armor save on the herald of Khorne riding a chariot appears as 3+ either he is armored (armor of Khorne or Obsidian armor) or not.

It seems that if herald is unarmored his armor should be 3+ (which works fine right now).
If herald is wearing armor (armor of Khorne or Obsidian armor (3+)) he should be 1+? This part is not working.

I've checked with other army lists. Seems to be OK wit High Elves and warriors of Chaos.
I think it is also WRONG with Orks and undead. +2 is added to characters armor, without checking is the armor of the chariot is higher. Ex: Unarmored Black Ork on a chariot armor save goes up to 5+ instead of using 4+ armor of the chariot.

Now, the other question is, does this armor bonus remain in close combat or is it only for shooting? It seems to be, that chariots provide armor bonuses only as far as shooting goes and not in close combat.
