Not unlike any other chariot, a character that is mounted upon a chariot will have a split profile. In game terms, this works as follows:

• Unless noted otherwise, any special rules that apply to one element (chariot, character, crew or beasts) apply to the others as well.

• This model uses the Movement characteristic of the beasts that draw the chariot or, if there are no beasts, of the chariot itself.

• The character, crew and beasts each use their own Weapon Skill, Ballistic Skill, Strength, Initiative and Attacks characteristics, and their own weapons.

• In combat, all enemy rolls To Hit are made against the character's Weapon Skill.

• Impact Hits and/or Stomp Attacks use the chariot's Strength.

• Enemy rolls To Wound are made against either the chariot's or the character's Toughness, whichever is the highest.

• When this model makes an Armour Save roll, it may use either the chariot's or the character's armour value, whichever is better.

• If the chariot is reduced to zero Wounds, the model as a whole is removed from play.

Improved Characteristics

When a character mounts a chariot, they join its crew, bolstering their strength, fighting ability and survivability. To represent this, the Wounds characteristic of the character is added to that of the chariot. For example, if a character with W3 is mounted upon a chariot with W4, the model would have seven Wounds.
