Yeah...It's kind of hard to decide which is more deadly. The Immolator rules
against infantry whereas Land Raider reigns supreme against tanks. Land
Raider's CAF is 2 better and save 1 better. Immolator is slightly faster
(5cm). Land Raider has longer range. Immolator has better chance to hit (4+
versus 5+)and ignores cover. They seem pretty equal to me when considering
the overall picture. What if they cost the same? That should be tested

It might, but I still think they should cost more than veterans. Veterans
have better CAF (+4 versus +2) and longer range (50 versus 35) but
Celestials have 2 attacks, better chance to hit (4+ versus 5+), save
modifier and a special ability that reduces the cover level of the target by
one. After all this 1000 points sounds reasonable.
