The armory gives a +1 to their base armour rating which is 5. That would make them a 6. They also have a defense factor of 6. The effect of heavy armour in hth fighting was handled by boosting the defense factor.

If you start a v1.0 game of Shogun, you can hit F1 when in battle mode and see all these stats. In the v1.12 version of the game the F1 stat screen gives wrong info for attack and defense values, but I think the armour rating is still correct. I can't check it right now.
