How do you figure out costs for your customs

Subject says it all. I'm interested in making some customs and would like to know how you all figure out your custom's point cost.

There have been many attempts to figure out a statistical formula, but these have all so far failed to give very precise results. The reason is that special abilities are just too unique, and a formula can't capture that. There's no tool where you can just plug in your stats and get back a cost.

I think most people compare their unit to the closest official unit, then tweak the point cost based on the new unit's abilities to get a ballpark figure. Then the unit is posted for feedback and a final point cost is determined based on this feedback.

I'd also echo what HShawaii said, and add in that play testing against officially priced units is also a big help. If you compare to existing units and think everything's ok but then your figures consistently outperform or underperform their cost, you might want to consider making some additional tweaks.
