How we got these numbers
What we ran
Maugan Ra, 100 pts, with its datasheet's weapons, in Aspect Host (Path of the Warrior: Re-roll hit 1s). On its own: no leader, no stratagems, no other units' auras. Counted as dice: the detachment's rule.
SWORD
Enemy points it kills in one activation, per 100 pts of its own, against a mix of targets weighted like top tournament lists.
100 pts → kills ~69 pts → 69 per 100SHIELD
Enemy points it takes to kill it, per 100 pts of its own: the points of the cheapest units from top lists that kill it 80% of the time. It's per point, so a costly unit has to be much tougher to score the same.
