How we got these numbers
What we ran
Burna-bommer, 125 pts, with 1 Armoured Impact, 1 Dual Big Shoota, 1 Dual Supa-shoota, 1 Skorcha Missile Rack, in Ramship Raiders. On its own: no leader, no stratagems, no other units' auras. Counted as dice: the army rule 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.
125 pts → kills ~38 pts → 30 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.
