How we got these numbers
What we ran
Chaos Land Raider, 220 pts, with 1 Armoured tracks, 1 Combi-bolter, 1 Havoc launcher, 2 Soulshatter lascannon, 1 Twin heavy bolter, in Veterans of the Long War. On its own: no leader, no stratagems, no other units' auras. Counted as dice: the army rule and 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.
220 pts → kills ~97 pts → 44 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.
