How we got these numbers
What we ran
Khorne Berzerkers, 10 models, 170 pts, with 10 Bolt pistol, 8 Chainblade, 2 Khornate eviscerator, in Goretrack Onslaught. 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.
170 pts → kills ~129 pts → 76 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.
