If you download the combat sim, and put a new unit in the "UnitTypes.txt" file (specify armors and weapons), it will autocalculate the resource cost for you. Or you can do it manually by reading the sticky thread about equipment stats. Those resource costs are for size-2 units: the armor resource value scales with size.
