Also as the rules are written archers are also good at penetrating armor with their blodkin point arrows.

In a recent session my archer with movement speed 7, fair hiding skills and LOT of arrows, harassed a large group of armored enemies by firing from cover and forcing them to send out patrols to hunt her that she again ambushed alone and ran away.

Her arrows could reliably punch through armor most of the time due to the (2) pen, causing a lot of wounds, though very few serious ones.

But overall the enemies armor main effect seemed to be to slow them down due to weight..
