How we got these numbers
What we ran
Wyches, 10 models, 90 pts, with 1 Blast Pistol, 3 Gladiatorial weapons, 6 Hekatarii Blade, 1 Power weapon, 6 Splinter Pistol, 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.
90 pts → kills ~72 pts → 80 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.
