When a character is armed with a shield and a magic sword, does it count as a handweapon in the respect that they get the +1 armor save bonus in combat for using a hand weapon and shield?

I don't think so, but that would be awesome with Enchanted Shield and desolate blade, give heavy armor, 2+ save(If it was like that)......

No.
You only get the +1 save if you have a normal hand weapon and normal shield.

No... as simple as that. Only light armour / heavy armour and shield give the +1 for handweapon and shield, magic armour or shields NOT!

don't forget this only applies to models on foot. not a concern for skaven generally, just make sure some dark elf general on a manticore isn't doing it.

It can be combined with other amgical armor, which goes against the general rule that if you use a magical shield, you can't wear magical armor and vice-versa.

I was pretty sure, but I mean mundane equipment so you still get the save, wait it already gives +2, I'm confusing my self, just ignore this, its ramblings....
