DO armor
In DO any model has base armor rating(AR) from 0 (no armor) to 5 (full armor). It is not possible to unequip armor in DO and it is just a parameter which can be modified (upgraded) by buying additional armor withing unit maximum armor limit. It is also possible to additionally modify the armor rating parameter by equipping magic items such as magic shield which give +1 to AR.
For infantry the armor rating limit is 3 which is equal to 4+ armor saving throw. It can be additionally boosted by magic item such as magic shield to AR 4 (armor saving throw 3+)
For cavalry the armor rating limit is 5 which is equal to 2+ armor saving throw. It is unlikely that AR 5 can be further modified to AR 6 (saving throw 1+) with magic items as in this case armor would always save cavalry from being wounded, i.e. any D6 roll result from 1 to 6 would be successful.
Armor saving throw can be additionally modified by Strength of the model that makes hit starting from 4. Please, read Armor save article for more information
