The following is a re-post of something I contributed to the list awhile
ago. It seems to be a reasonable approximation to the formula (if any)
GW used for getting points values for E40K
PV = ( (M/10) + ( FP * (R/15) ) + ( AF * 2 ) ) * ( ( AV-2 ) / 3 )
M = Move in cm
FP = FirePower
R = Range in cm
AF = Assault Factor
AV = Armour Value
Examples:
Ork Boyz.
M=10, FP=1, R=30, AF=2, AV=4, so ( 10/10 + (1 * (30/15) ) + 2*2 ) * 4/3
or 1+2+4 * 1.333 or 9.1
For AT, use an FP of 3. For DeathRays, 5.5.
This is an approximation, it works for most vehicles and troops. Some
are a bit cheaper, others a bit more expensive than the formula would
indicate, but it's pretty good.
Comments, criticisms, and especially improvements welcome!

Alan,
In your equation you have (AV-2)/3 but in your example you use AV/3 which
is correct?
thanks,
John
