Erkenbrand, Captain of Rohan

This is a Unique war horn. Additionally, once per game at the start of any Move Phase, Erkenbrand can unleash a fearsome blow of the Horn of the Hammerhand. Until the End Phase of the turn, enemy models within 24" of Erkenbrand suffer a -1 penalty to any Courage Tests they are required to make.

A model wearing heavy armour will add 2 to their Defence characteristic.

Where a model is listed as having a type of armour in its profile, then the improvement in its Defence characteristic will already have been included in their profile. If a model has the opportunity to upgrade one type of armour to another, then they will replace one with the other - they will not get the Defence benefits of both.

These are the standard kind of weapon a model may carry, and is anything wielded in a single hand, such as a sword, an axe, a mace or all manner of other weapons. The exact kind of weapon being carried doesn't matter; all hand weapons function the same. A hand weapon has no specific rules attached to it.

A model carrying a shield adds 1 to their Defence characteristic. Where a model is listed as carrying a shield in its profile, then the improvement in its Defence characteristic will already have been included in their profile.

A shield is cumbersome, and so a model carrying a shield that wishes to use their hand-and-a-half weapon as a two-handed weapon during a Combat cannot gain the Defence bonus for carrying a shield during that Combat. Additionally, a model carrying a shield does not gain the Defence bonus if it also carries a type of bow, crossbow, two-handed weapon or pike.

A model with a shield can also use the Shielding special rule.
