I often don’t get into melee with him until the end of the game, where he inches up the table with a bunch of infantry, scaring people away, keeping my army together and providing an anchor. e. something with a strong invuln or a horde unit with lots of weak models), you can at the very least keep it from doing anything else and quite possibly kill it off eventually. Each mortal wound inflicts one point of damage on the target unit, and they are always applied one at a time.

Apply thin layers to build up the color gradually and ensure the black basecoat still shows through in areas for a realistic effect. Third, although it does benefit from character protection, it is also a melee unit- and that means that it has to get in real close to do any work, so if you’re making the Eldar army come to you, it shouldn’t be hard to make the Avatar the closest target once it charges something. Looking back at the era of some centrepieces having two or three full frames it’s pretty cool to see what they can do now. At the heart of every Asuryani craftworld sits the Avatar of Khaine, its own incarnation of the Bloody-Handed God of the Aeldari, Kaela Mensha Khaine. If either the Leader unit or the Bodyguard unit in an Attached unit is destroyed, the Starting Strength of the remaining unit is changed to be equal to its original Starting Strength.Beyond that, the Avatar comes with two different defensive abilities that give it a modicum of resilience, even if it isn’t exceptionally so. EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes an attack, on a Critical Wound, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 2. One of the results is a 1, and as no models in the unit are CHARACTERS, MONSTERS or VEHICLES, one of those models is destroyed. 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.

Eight wounds puts it right up at the top end of where a character wants to sit- tough to bring down, but still can hide behind other units. To do so, roll 2D6: if the result is greater than or equal to the best Leadership characteristic in that unit, the test is passed; otherwise, the test is failed and, until the start of your next Command phase, that unit is Battle-shocked. When the Aeldari take to the battlefield, any who oppose them are left confounded by their grace, elegance and martial skill. He can ace a high wound unit in one round of combat, particularly when hitting a character that has been jinxed.The dice that is being substituted is not rolled; instead, the value of the selected Fate dice is used as if it had been rolled (this counts as an unmodified dice roll of that value for all rules purposes). That gives him a decent chance to cut through a knight on the charge but if you don’t get him that knight will mess you up with his own D weapon attacks and stomps. When doing so, each model in the charging unit must end its Charge move closer to one of the units selected as a target of its charge. The last game with him (buffing only to Wound rolls) he cleared 10 Death Company on a Heroic Intervention. Choose this monstrously powerful HQ option for your Aeldari army and unleash devastation upon your enemies with the fiery representation of a shattered god, accompanied by three head options and three cosmetic variant weapons.
