Points Cost

Source: Core Rulebook 3E, p. 161

A unit's points value rises by 10% (rounding up) for every whole 1,000 experience points it earns, reflecting its growing expertise.

As a unit's experience changes, the points value it is worth will also change to reflect their expertise and availability. For every whole 1,000 experience points a unit earns, its points value is increased by 10% (rounding up). So a unit with 1,000-1,999 experience has its points increased by 10%, 2,000-2,999 by 20% and so on. This is demonstrated in the examples below.

Example 1

Unit type Basic points cost Points per 1,000 Experience (10%)
10 Imperial Guard 50 +5
10 Eldar Guardians 80 +8
10 Orky Bommas 100 +10
10 Space Marines 150 +15

Example 2

10 Eldar Guardians 80 88 106 114

10 Space Marines 150 165 180 195
