How we got these numbers

What we ran

Squighog Boyz, 8 models, 260 pts, with 2 Big Choppa, 6 Saddlegit's Shiv, 2 Slugga, 8 Squig Jaws, 6 Stikka (melee), 6 Stikka (ranged), in Ramship Raiders. On its own: no leader, no stratagems, no other units' auras. Counted as dice: its own abilities, 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.

260 pts → kills ~151 pts → 58 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.

~889 pts → 342 per 100
