How we got these numbers

What we ran

Grey Hunters, 10 models, 180 pts, with 10 Bolt Carbine, 9 Bolt pistol, 9 Chainsword, 1 Power weapon, 1 Plasma pistol - standard, 1 Plasma pistol - supercharge, in Saga of the Great Wolf (Master of Wolves: Ferocious Strike). On its own: no leader, no stratagems, no other units' auras. Counted as dice: its own abilities 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.

180 pts → kills ~117 pts → 65 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.

~506 pts → 281 per 100
