After some research I now think that the original poster is right: base armor = 25, and Basilisk Scales is 500% increase.

I've used the test results obtained by Zhmwwl in the post above mine. Although I made the following assumption: If  lv50 Volatile Runner's  damage to warframe shield is  182 and damage type is Blast, than 182 is the exact unmitigated damage.

Using the formula for total damage multiplier and assuming Operator's armor is Ferrite:

DM = 0.75/(1+AR*1.25/300)

DM is the number by which we multiply the unmitigated damage (which is 182) to get mitigated damage (which is 123 with no Husk and no BS).

Using the above formula and numbers, I calculate that operator's base armor is 26.34. I then assume that it's actually 25 (because DE always sets base armor values that are divisible by 5, and the result  26.34 is probably due to  test damage values having been rounded).

Using the formula  DM = 0.75/(1+AR*1.25/300) and assuming base armor is 25 and unmitigated damage is 182, I've obtained results consistent with the above poster's tests, but only the ones without BS:

Test.1: no Husk, no BS, damage is 123

 Test.2: Husk lv1, no BS, damage is 113

Calculations with BS were not matching test results.

But assuming BS is actually 500%, the following test results were also consistent with the theory:

 Test.3: no Husk, with maxed BS, damage is 84

 Test.4:  Husk lv1, with maxed BS, damage is 61
