How we got these numbers
What we ran
Land Speeder, 105 pts, with 1 Armoured Impact, 1 Multi-melta, 1 Pyrecannon, 1 Stormfury Missile Launcher, in Ironstorm Spearhead. 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.
105 pts → kills ~62 pts → 59 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.
