Good one. But why base it off of point values? Or rather,
what kind of numbers do you get if you base it off of DC instead (so
that a WE's ability to ignore BMs is related to its size & toughness)?
Perhaps DC/2, or two-thirds of DC, or something like that (don't have
my books handy). Could go a long way to making the Tyranid titans
look worthwhile.
