How we got these numbers

What we ran

Chaos Rhino, 75 pts, with 1 Armoured tracks, 2 Combi-bolter, 1 Havoc launcher. On its own: no leader, no stratagems, no other units' auras.

SWORD

Enemy points it kills in one activation, per 100 pts of its own, against a mix of targets weighted like top tournament lists.

75 pts → kills ~13 pts → 17 per 100

SHIELD

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.

~362 pts → 483 per 100
