ok my chaos brothers. i won my first battle tonight but i did have a question concerning my chaos knights. as i was moving the as printed in the codex their 8 allowable inches, i was stoped and toled that they are limited to 7 inches since they have barded armour. my quest ion is why is this so the codex clearly states a 8 inch move but with the barded armour rule they are restrited to 7 why just not print 7 in the codex or put a 8 with (7) printed next to it. because you cant help it that the horses automaticly come with barded armour with no option to remove it. plese enlighten me to better put my head around this. thanks

Its stupid but true. The reason its printed like that is so its standard. All horses move 8" (there is the very rare exception) and there are units where you can choose to take barding on the horse they don't come with it. We don't have any units like this but for example the peasant horsemen in the bret book can buy barding for their mounts.

How many did you have and how were they equipped? also what unit did you run them into?

Ocassionally you'll run into weird things that will remove equipment, which can include armor and barding is a type of armor. For some reason, maybe, some day you will have your barding removed from your knight's horses, in which case you get a +1 to your Movement.
