Ah i remember. So no competition between Vindicator and the better Incinerator.

Yes (though remember its in competition with hunters and land raiders as well). Likewise there is no incinerator in the pred formation to not detract from the vindicators there.

Some thing i noticed: You can't use Land Raider Redeemers in Air Assaults until you put Salamanders Terminators with the Heavy Transport upgrade in the Landing Craft as you can't mix Rhino- and Land Raider-chassis as transport option.

And today had a game against Biel-tan Eldar. Won 3-1 (Blitz + TnH vs BTS) at the 3rd turn but it was pretty close. Won't have survived a 4th turn.

I fielded:
Landing Craft
- Devastators + Salamander Devastators + Chaplain
- Devastators + Predator Incinerator + Vulcan Dreadnought
Terminators + Chaplain
Tactical with 2 Lasbacks + Supreme Commander + 2 Land Raider Redeemer (BTS)
Tactical with 2 Lasbacks
Whirlwinds + Hunter
Thunderbolts

Edlar had iirc:
Vampire Raider
- Aspect Warhost (8 Warp Spiders + 2 Exarchs)
Aspect Warhost (4 Dire Avengers with Autarch, 4 Fire Dragons with Exarch) + 4 Serpents
Falcon Troupe
Falcon Troupe
Nightspinners
Windrider Warhost + Vyper
Guardian Warhost + HW PLatform
Guardian Warhost + HW Platform
Revenants

The BTS did nothing during the game apart from being a fire magnet and shooting down a Falcon. Generic Land Raiders would have helped a lot.
Landing Craft performed very good (destroyed Nightspinners and a Guardian Warhost in 1st turn which guarded the Eldar Blitz). Even preventing opponent to claim Blitz (but was destroyed in the end due to a critical).
In turn 3 Vampire Raider contested a TnH objective instead of the Eldar Blitz (was afraid from Overwatching Devastators there) which cost him the game.

Salamanders BTS needed the Warp Spiders, Revenants and Aspect Warhost to be whiped out.
But this led to a question: The Warp Spiders killed with First-Strike all Salamanders units within range of the Warp Spiders. We whereunsure if the supporting Aspect Warhost could then lend Supporting Fire? The Aspect Warhost was in range of the Salamanders but none of the Warp Spiders where in range to the Salamanders. We said yes which resulted to a +10 for the Eldar instead of a +6 for the Assault Resolution roll (with +0 for the Salamanders).
