Hello.

Can I take a magical shield for my chaos sorcerer?
He does not have the option for normal shield like chaos lord/exalted hero.
I suppose magical helmets are okay for sure?

Okay, there are no magical helmets (only fluff wise), only magic armor that characters AS one point better than normal.

Chaos Sorcs cannot take m-shields 'cause they cannot take normal shields. We used to as there was a sentence in the old army book that made this possible.

Okay then.
Chaos sorcerer with chaos armour and dragonhelm= armour save 3+?

Sure. Scaled skin and/or ward save is the best for protection unless Scaled skin is already given to BSB or DP or wotnot.

Thankfully, you are terribly incorrect, as it states in the BRB, you may take magical armour if you have it as your standard equipment or as a option. No rule exists in relation to the type of armour that may be chosen.

Yeah, as long as you have access to any bit of mundane armor, you can take any kind of magical armor. See the Ogre Butcher/Slaughtermaster.

That's the way I thought it was as well. I was beginning to get worried I had missed something. Thanks for reconfirming that. cheers
