About this deal
The Avatar becomes a fiery, animated manifestation of the god of war in the wake of this blood sacrifice and leads the Aeldari armies into battle. In the early days of the Great Crusade, the Emperor of Mankind was recognised as the Omnissiah by the leaders of the ancient Mechanicum of Mars, prompting the Treaty of Mars and the alliance of the Cult Mechanicus with the nascent Imperium of Man, but the Omnissiads refuse to recognise the Emperor as this physical extension of the Machine God, and instead seek to create their own. EFFECT: Your unit can arrive on the battlefield as if it were the Reinforcements step of your Movement phase.
It is sufficient for the Avatar to merely be under attack to receive his health regeneration bonus, he does not need to attack something himself. Apply thin layers to build up the color gradually and ensure the black basecoat still shows through in areas for a realistic effect. If the result of the Wound roll is greater than or equal to the required number shown in the table above, then that Wound roll is successful and scores one wound against the target unit. I don’t expect a player to be on the top table at a larger events with an Avatar in his list, but it is very possible in smaller venues.A 7″ movement speed and 3+ armor save round out the statline with respectable, if not amazing, numbers. TARGET: One unit from your army that is within 6" of that enemy unit and would be eligible to declare a charge against that enemy unit if it were your Charge phase. I think a list like that would be a blast to play, but it isn’t really a top tier army because you will lose a lot of punch if the Avatar goes down.
The new Avatar of Khaine isn’t just a powerhouse on the tabletop – it’s an incredible centrepiece for any Asuryani army. The Avatar of Khaine, an ancient deity in physical form, epitomizes the fiery essence of Khaela Mensha Khaine, the Bloody-Handed God of the Aeldari.
For each 1, one model equipped with a Hazardous weapon is destroyed ( CHARACTERS, MONSTERS and VEHICLES suffer 3 mortal wounds instead). Rerolling charge distances is a cute trick, but it’s not often gonna tip a game and Eldar have a lot of ways to scoot around the board already; the extra 2-3″ of charge distance you get off the Avatar probably isn’t going to make a huge difference in the scheme of things compared to using Quicken, a jetbike, a transport, etc. In this step, you must take a Battle-shock test for each of your units on the battlefield that is Below Half-strength.
If, when a unit is selected to shoot or fight, one or more of its attacks can inflict mortal wounds on the target, resolve any normal damage inflicted by the attacking unit’s attacks on that target before inflicting any mortal wounds on that target. Benefiting from character protection is absolutely huge, as even units like snipers will struggle to put any real damage on the Avatar- both because of his toughness/armor save and also because of his ability to shrug off wounds.RESTRICTIONS: You cannot select an AIRCRAFT unit or a unit within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units, and until the end of the turn, the unit you selected is not eligible to declare a charge.
