But they can only do it via that special exception, as its clearly laid out in the army book. Army books always trump main rule book rules.
So in your example, yes, he would only have a 1+ armor save until he kills a character or large beast and manages to roll a 6 on the table and get the iron skin ability, dropping his save to 0+. A strength 4 hit would reduce the armor save from 0+ to 1+, a strength 5 hit would raise it only up to 2+. 1 always fails still.
Again this is why I was curious if they had only the new models in the WD or any new rules to go along with them like a new Eye of the Gods table for the new Warshrine. Of course that would probably have been one of the first things mentioned so I guess I just have to assume the answer is no.
