A unit is composed of one stand of infantry or vehicle. Thus a Chem-Dog Company (15 stands plus command, IIRC) would be composed of 80 individual figures.
The Savlar list (as published in Fanatic #95) varies in several ways from the Steel Legion List.
The most obvious is it is an all infantry army. There are no mechanized, tank, or artillery companies. However they get companies of 15 stands plus command instead of 12 plus Command, to they are more numerous. They also have acces to the Chem Rider Company, a 16 unit Rough Rider company that replaces Scout With Reinforced Armor.
Their Infantry Platoon is slightly undercosted, IMO, at 5 for 75pt (6 for 100pt being standard), but only by a couple points a stand. They also have the ability to take 1-4 Ogryns @25pt ea instead of 2 at 50.
They get a small Armored Fist Platoon of three squads (six stands) in Chimaeras, a Chem-Rider Scout Platoon of six that have both RA and Scout, and a 0-1 Stormtrooper analouge, the Hardened Criminals. Hardened Criminals have slightly worse armor than Stormtroopers (6+) but have "Dirty Tricks" which are EA+1, Ignore Cover in CC and FF. No option to transport them. The 5 unit Tank Platoon can take Leman Russ, Demolishers, or Exterminators. There are no Superheavies in this army.
No Titan Support, but T-Bolts and Marauders as standard.
It's actually a really good list for those who want an infantry based IG army, and has no significant price problems I can see. The one thing I do see is that it may be hard to deal with War Engines due to there being no TK weapons, and no MW aside from the Commissar and Supreme Commander assault weapons. IG without Shadowswords are not well off against Titans.
