Ok, I'll try it at 36 points. Sounds good.
Thanks!
Dust Models Points Cost
This is a great thread that deserves a bump.
So, what about the Ryu? That should be fairly easy to develop a point cost for now that the Wotan is out.
The Ryu is basically the normal Wotan with Damage Resilient and no MG-44. I'd say that nets to about 10 more points for the Ryu, so I'd give it a cost of 68 AP.
The Wotan-AR is 67pts and inferior to Damage Resistance, I've been rating Ryu at 75pts

I know DR is powerful, but don't you think 75 is a little high?
Compared to the Ryu, the Lavrentiy Beria tank (which also has DR) can carry 6 riders, has a roughly equivalent main gun, a range 2 flamethrower, 2 machine guns, two more armor points, and two more hit points. And it only costs 83 points.
Yeah, the new tanks do seem to be a bargain, these weren't around when I came up with my pts formula - doesn't work so well now
I believe you are all missing this prior discussion which included the answers you crave via Ravage Magazine:

Those points were pretty way-off though which has been prooved correct by comparing points with the latest releases.

Jagdluther it is then, although the effect of abilities that have already been suggested for the ARV's should be fairly accurate
So taking 40pts Ludwig as a baseline, +5 for the main gun dice.
For Armour I use +6 when upping to an even number and then another +3 when going to even, this is because of the way they allocate dice to guns, and the difference between A5 and A6 armour for example is pretty much zero, so +6pt.
At A5 I use +4pts for each wound so +16pts
This now totals 67pts, there is no MG, -2pts? = 65pts for Jagdluther
I think that you are dead on with this one.
The Matrioshka is also 65 points. It has two fewer health points than the Jagdluther, but compensates for that with a better main gun and two excellent machine guns. I think they balance out pretty well.
