Hey everyone!
Just getting back into the game after a few years and trying to learn some of the new rules. So, are the Riders of Rohan able to shoot after moving their mount's full 10" or do they suffer the same penalty as an infantry model for moving over 1/2 their movement? I'm getting conflicting answers from the local group. I tried to search your database but didn't find an answer, so apologize if this has been discussed before. Thanks for your help!

Welcome back to the hobby.
They follow the standard rules for shooting (as there is nothing to state the rules are any different for them).
If they move more than half (more than 5 inches) then they can’t shoot.
If they move up to half (5 inches or less) then they can shoot with -1 to hit.
If they don’t move then they can shoot without any modifiers.
Hope that helps

Thanks for the clarification guys! Someone had suggested that the mounted 'shooter' was not the model moving but his mount instead, so he was able to circumvent the penalty. I thought that was a bit of a stretch and you have solved that discussion for us. The throwing spear rules I also had to look back on after your replies though. So they only have the -1 penalty if they move more than half movement on throwing spears? And no penalty at all if they are charging the model, regardless of how far they've moved...
Most of the rules are pretty clear, but there must be some ambiguity in this...or I'm just playing the wrong people who are trying to bend the rules to their will. I also play Rohan so I don't want them teaching me the cheaters way to play that army.

Good call werennor about throwing spears.
If you use a Throwing Spear when charging, you don’t get any modifier to the roll. If you throw a spear in the shooting phase you get -1 if you made any movement at all.
