Hi!
I usually use one unit as the baseline then go from there. Since the discussion started with SM tactical and such, I use the space marine tactical unit as the "baseline".
Space marine tactical
Move 10cm
Armor save 5+
CAF +2
Weapon: Bolter, 1 attack dice, 5+ to hit, 0 save modifier.
We also need a baseline vehicle, so lets use the rhino
Move 25cm
Armor save 4+
CAF 0
weapon PD (1)
Tansport 2
For the sake of legacy lets say we what the whole group to be worth 250. So that's approximately 83.33 per rhino and two stands.
Roughly 28 points unit.
Thus, lets make move worth 1 point per cm of move, so 10cm is 10 points and so on.
Let's say each point of armor save is 5 points, no points for no save, 5 for a save of 6+ and so forth.
Lets do the same for CAF, 5 points per CAF point.
Weapons are broken done in three stats so I'd do range in brackets. 25cm or less 5 points, 25-50cm 10 points, 51-75cm 20 points, 76-100 30 points, 100+ 50 points.
Attack dice 5 points per die.
Save modifier 10 points per minus.
So a tactical would be:
10 points for move + 10 points for armor save + 10 points for CAF + 10 points for range + 5 for 1 attack die + 0 for no save modifier = about 45 point per tactical stand
Rhinos would be
25 points for move + 15 points for armor save + 0 points for CAF + 10 for PD (1) (each PD is worth 10 points so more PD is multiples of 10) + 10 for transport 2 (and an extra ten per each two carried or one vehicle) = 60
Thats about 450 for one detachment of tacticals. Quite higher than 250 but now I can play with the values above, say cut them in half and get closer to 250 for the base unit.
Of course once we "nail down" the exact values for a chosen baseline then its an easy task to apply those values to everything else.
Note this is just an example to express my thoughts. there are many way to assign a points value, but once done in a master list on how much each attribute costs its applications to other things is simple.
Thoughts?
