How we got these numbers

What we ran

Scourges with Shardcarbines, 5 models, 75 pts, with 1 Blast Pistol, 5 Close combat weapon, 1 Power Weapon, 4 Shardcarbine, in Reaper's Wager. 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.

75 pts → kills ~33 pts → 44 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.

~166 pts → 221 per 100
