Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Aeldari: Avatar Of Khaine

Product Information

There you have it. The Avatar is a combat powerhouse, more than capable of punching beyond his weight class and able to shrug off massive damage and to fight with all the rage the Asuryani do their best to repress.

When war approaches, the Aeldari choose a bold warrior from among their Exarchs, a member of their race with the will and courage to embody the Aeldari's own skill at arms and thirst for victory. Known as the "Young King," this chosen warrior is taken to the deep chambers where the Avatar's shell resides and in a secretive and complex ritual is given over, mind, body, and soul to Khaine, so that his essence might fill the Avatar with life and give it the rage and power to go to war.If that type of roll involves one D6 (e.g. a hit roll), do not roll a dice; that roll is treated as an unmodified roll of 6. We’ve already seen his rules, but there’s only one way to get across just how powerful a combat monster he is – by throwing it into the crucible of combat with a series of increasingly deadly adversaries and seeing where the dice land. The Avatar of Khaine Vs. A Redemptor Dreadnought Can a walking inferno defeat over 300 Imperial Tons of Astra Militarum firepower? Let’s find out. Before the Avatar could close in, the Baneblade fired every gun on its chassis, delivering a staggering total of 34 shots from its two cannons, heavy bolter sponsons, autocannon, and two lascannons. In the depths of the Warp, the beings of pure psychic energy created within the Immaterium during the turmoil of the War in Heaven would feast on these feelings and grow to sentience, setting into motion a chain of events that would close the Path of Rebirth for Aeldari souls forever. But not only Aspect Warriors of the Craftworlds follow Khaine. The Dark Eldar Incubi still practice and follow the teachings of Khaine. In the heart of their obsidian shrines, failed initiates are burned as offerings to iron statues of the bloody-handed god. [8] Notes

While only the Craftworld Aeldari have actually made use of physical Avatars to date, the Thorian faction of the Inquisition searches for the Avatar of the Emperor of Mankind who they believe will actually be born somewhere in the galaxy at the time of the greatest need for the Human race among the teeming billions of the Imperium. The "Warrior Aspects" followed by the Eldar Aspect Warriors embody the different aspects or facets of Khaine - each Aspect Warrior type closely follows a particular aspect through long training and dedication, and each fulfills a distinctive role in combat. The greatest Eldar warriors may, if the need arises, offer their lives as sacrifices to awaken an Avatar of Khaine, one of the most powerful units the Eldar possess. Khaine is the god of the Aeldari associated with battle, war and conflict. Many Imperial scholars believe him to be a manifestation of the Aeldari's racial passion as manifested in battle and warfare. "Kaela Mensha" is not technically part of Khaine's name, but is actually a title he bears. It roughly translates from the Aeldari Lexicon as "Bloody-Handed," a reference to the blood which eternally drips from his hands as a reminder of his murder of the ancient Aeldari hero Eldanesh. Of course, it’s not enough to just look good on the battlefield. The Avatar has received an updated statline to match his magnificent stature, making him faster, tougher, and stronger than before – a true centrepiece, as befits the statuesque shard of a sundered god. Jes: He has the runes of all the shrines – the different Aspects – around him… And you’ve still got that whole thing about waking him up by sacrificing the Young King.Do you think the height of the Eldar Avatar will be size-wise- and what about the scale to other models?
