The game also has 1 summoned or scripted copy of this unit that no building or mercenary pool recruits (wh3_dlc29_cst_mon_necrofex_colossus_0_summoned).
Where these numbers come from
Read from the game's database tables for patch 9.0.4 (main_units, land_units, battle_entities, melee_weapons, projectiles…) as published in the WH3-Dump export (commit 099796e8). Formulas that turn table values into card values are checked against known units before they are shown — how we verify.
