How we got these numbers
What we ran
Grey Knights Thunderhawk Gunship, 805 pts, with 1 Armored Hull, 2 Lascannon, 1 Turbo-laser destructor, 4 Twin heavy bolter, in Warpbane Task Force. 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.
805 pts → kills ~169 pts → 21 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.
