No. The points you pay for a chariot include its crew, whether that chariot is included in your army on its own or as a mount for a character. However, in reality it might prove difficult to fit a character and the full complement of crew into the chariot model itself. If so, it is perfectly acceptable to remove one or more of the crew models to make space for the character. In such cases, we can think of the missing crew model's profile(s) as a way of representing that the beasts pulling a character's chariot are bound to be bigger, stronger and better trained than normal.

A character mounted on a ridden monster or a chariot can choose to use their own or their mount's armour value, whichever is better. If the character wears magic armour but I choose to use the mount's armour value, can I still claim other benefits conferred by the magic armour?URL Copied!
No. You must use a magic item fully or not at all.

Cannon do not directly target enemy models; they target a point on the ground. How does this work with Targeting Lone characters? Can a cannon be fired in such a way as to hit a Lone character that would normally be protected from shooting by their proximity to a friendly unit?URL Copied!
The purpose of the Targeting Lone Characters rule is to protect characters from enemy shooting, even from shooting that does not follow the usual rules (though it does not protect them from templates). Therefore, and in the spirit of this rule, unless they are the closest target to the cannon, an enemy character that is within 3" of a friendly unit that contains five or more models of the same troop type cannot be struck by a cannonball, even if their base lies directly under the path of the bouncing cannonball. However, if a Lone character's base lies directly underneath the strike point of a cannonball, they are hit.

If a named character is equipped with a mundane weapon such as a lance or cavalry spear and a magic weapon, can they choose to use the lance or cavalry spear, or must they use their magic weapon?URL Copied!
They must use their magic weapon. However, some named characters will carry a 'back-up' weapon which they can use should their magic weapon be destroyed.
