Hi Just wondering what is the best way to deal with a normal land raider with assault terminators inside, with vulcan heston?
Also can terminators cannot sweeping advance, can vulcan heston sweeping advance, if that squad wins combat?

Probably Fire Dragons jumping out of a transport.

No.

As a squad no, but if Vulkan detaches during the movement phase, and they dual charge, he can then perform the sweeping advance.

The problem is he tends to keep this on his back lines so u gotta get through all his other stuff
Bright lances dont seem to do too much to it, Lraider does smoke for first turn, so thats one turn I can t really risk shooting at it with
Do the eldar have any other good anti tank?

Nothing that's overly reliable - I suppose D-cannons could be suffice, but I would never say they are that great. Witchblades are of course a good weapon for anti-tank but that means you'll need to be in base contact with the Raider.

What about Bright Lances? Always work against my Land Raiders. And Fire Prisms do a good job.

Bright Lances, Fire Prisms, and against many transports, Str 6 spam is good enough to crack those.

Alternatively, you could depend on fate alot and have the LR's take care of themselves by pushing through terrain. Seems for some reasons that terrain is the biggest killer of Landraiders.

This thread is about Land Riaders. Str 6 spam is not so good against them.
The Eldar are resplendent with great options for totally devastating Land Raiders. Picking from Wraith cannons, D-Cannons, Dragons, Lances, Witchblades, Prisms, Haywire Grenades... on and on and on. You should have no more trouble blowing it up than any other armor. Easy.
Right? I mean, that's what I know logically. Mathematically. In practice? I can never kill them, no matter what I do. My Eldar are cursed. I've shot ten wraithcannons at a a Land Raider. TEN! And it kept rolling.
You're on your own dude. Good luck!

Enough bright lances shouldn't have too much trouble. Also, fire dragons are great. I'd recommend putting them at half range because of their melta weapons. Eldar have lots of stuff that can kill heavy armor. Bright lances reduce it's armor to 12. I've personally never had any trouble taking them down. It's what was inside that gave me real trouble. But, I've had an 80 point squad of fire dragons take out a 250 point land raider with no problems on several occasions.
