I don't have the books in front of me, but another post here roused my curiosity.
If the Enchanted Shield is 10pts in the Army Book, but only 5 pts in the BRB, how much do we have to pay?
I have always calculated it as 5pts, and I probably will continue to, but I was wondering if there was any consensus on this.

Unfortunately, the values in the army book always trump the BRB. We have to pay 10 points for the enchanted shield. 'Cause we're so overpowered, and all.

Re: Enchanted Shield
p500 of the BRB states explicitly that points values for common magic items in Army Books *must* be used instead of values in the BRB.
This means that we get some items at a discounted price also (War Banner, for instance, is 25pts vs 35 normally).

Re: Enchanted Shield
Thus, you should pretty much always use the Dragonhelm over the Enchanted Shield whenever given the choice because it costs the same and gives the same benefit when combined with a normal Shield + gives a 2+ Ward Save vs flaming attacks.
Well, my ideas for the next book turned out to be a bust.
But it was still fun working on something of this scale.

Re: Enchanted Shield
plus with dragonhelm you still get the armour bonus when using a great weapon.
Re: Enchanted Shield
I never noticed the points reduction on the War Banner. Still not sure I would ever use it but would make it more viable. Thanks for info.
