So I have had many conversations with Ian about how underpowered the Avatar is on the table compared to his fluff. Why isn't he a Gargantuan? Why does he die to poison? I'm never afraid to play against him.
So I got to thinking, what could be a fun and cool idea to really make him feel like a major threat? What would make him terrifying?
I present an alpha version of the new Avatar of Khaine!
THE AVATAR OF KHAINE 300pts. Lord of War.
WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
10 10 6 6 5 10 5 10 3+
UNIT TYPE: Monstrous Creature (Character)
WARGEAR: The Wailing Doom
SPECIAL RULES:
Ancient Doom
Battle Focus
Daemon
Fleet
Khaine Awakened
Molten Body
Heart of the Phoenix
Heart of the Phoenix: After the Avatar of Khaine is slain, roll a D6. On the roll of a 3+, the Avatar is reborn into The Bloody Handed God. On the roll of a 1 or 2, the Avatar explodes with the fury of Khaine. Place an Apocalyptic Blast over the spot where the Avatar was slain and scatter the blast. All models underneath the blast take a S9 Ap2 hit. If any Slaanesh Daemon model is under the template, it suffers a strength D hit instead of Strength 9 Ap2.
