How we got these numbers

What we ran

Tzaangor Shaman, 65 pts, with its datasheet's weapons, in Warpmeld Pact. 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.

65 pts → kills ~23 pts → 35 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.

~137 pts → 211 per 100
