How we got these numbers
What we ran
Kabalite Warriors, 10 models, 110 pts, with 1 Blast Pistol, 1 Blaster, 9 Close Combat Weapon, 1 Dark Lance, 1 Power Weapon, 1 Shredder, 1 Splinter Cannon, 5 Splinter Rifle, in Skysplinter Assault. 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.
110 pts → kills ~83 pts → 75 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.
