How we got these numbers

What we ran

Krieg Combat Engineers, 5 models, 65 pts, with 1 Autopistol, 4 Close combat weapon, 2 Combat shotgun, 1 Flamer, 1 Power weapon, 1 Plasma pistol - standard, 1 Plasma pistol - supercharge, in Genespawn Onslaught. 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.

65 pts → kills ~16 pts → 25 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.

~188 pts → 289 per 100
