If a model has a magic weapon that counts as paired weapons, can it benefit from a shield in close combat?
For example, if I arm a Wight King with Fencer's Blades, can still I improve its save (in CC) with a shield?

Ah, I see, it was amended in the faq/errata.
Thanks.
You could however give that Wight King a Dragonhelm if you really wanted that 3+ save.

There is a way through the coming darkness. But to find it we must change.
We must change and change until Change is our master, for nothing neither god nor mortal can hold that which has no form. Change is the constant that cannot be changed.
Wouldn't dragonhelm give him a 4+ save?
