How we got these numbers
What we ran
Nephilim Jetfighter, 200 pts, with 1 Armoured Hull, 1 Avenger mega bolter, 1 Blacksword missiles, 1 Twin heavy bolter, in Ironstorm Spearhead. On its own: no leader, no stratagems, no other units' auras. Counted as dice: its own abilities 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.
200 pts → kills ~68 pts → 34 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.
