Most cavalry models (but by no means all) consist of not one, but two models – rider and mount, together making a single model. To represent this, many cavalry models have a split profile. In game terms, this works as follows:

• Unless noted otherwise, any special rules that apply to one element (rider or mount) apply to the other as well.

• The rider and mount 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 rider's Weapon Skill.

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

• When this model makes an Armour Save roll, it uses the rider's armour value.

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