<p>No. They shouldn't get the save, since each individual unit is a single model.</p>

<p>Yes. If it makes your game more fun, and everyone agrees, change things however you all like. It's your game do what you want even if it's not technically correct.</p>

<p>Me and a friend have just started Aos  skirmishes. Skaven have the below rule for Shields:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/epONF.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/epONF.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>But in skirmish units are single models. How should this rule work?</p>

<p>We currently give the +1 save for each model that has a shield no matter the count of other models on the field. It seems fair as rats are so squishy, but are we doing the correct thing?</p>
