His ability to stay in combat with his strat is awesome as well. As I play Biel-Tan, the Court of the Young King start comes into play often for me, and it helps to make assaults from our of deep-strike. Scorpions and especially Howling Banshees love him and can strike from quite a ways away. I use him competitively and will continue to do so, rarely ever having a bad game with him so long as you play cagey with him and leverage his strats.
Bruh, where dat CD codex review at? No one survived a round against him Bloodletters with 3D6 charge tie up everything the turn after the screen is gone.
Nurglings farm Recon and behind enemy lines with letter help here. Since I had was 1 wound models and characters — all the anti-tank weaponry was wasted. Yeah, that is true in any format in this edition. If you have board control and lots of little dudes you have a good army. You just have to build it in to your list or you will get overwhelmed by horde armies.
Hey Reece… how would you say the Avatar would stack up against the Greater Daemons? His primary benefit is counter-attack and buffing nearby units with his really strong aura. I suppose, in that way he is similar to the GUO, but his role is very different to the others.
If you mean: can he fight them in melee? IME, so long as you attack on your terms which you should as he should almost always be screened then he does great against high wound models where his powerful attacks can really shine. Hey thanks for the great info Reece. I do have play with a healthy amount of screening units, like Storm Guardians and units he wants to be around like Scorpions to great success I might add so perhaps I could do it.
Its great to challenge yourself in games. Thanks bud. And yeah, Storm Guardians are a solid screen for me and I too have had great success with Striking Scorpions and the Avatar.
They combo well. Yeah, he compares poorly to a lot of the characters with good invulns, such as the SM characters. It really saddens me that Avatars are still so easy to kill and lacking in attacks. Succubi are allegedly some of the best at single combat in the galaxy, but nope. Not having an invuln is less painful than it used to be, at least, since most weapons are AP-2 or AP-3, which still leaves them with some kind of save.

Welcome to the New Goonhammer. Welcome, dear reader, to a deep dive into the point changes in the upcoming Munitorum Field Manual. Stay tuned for that tomorrow. The Adeptus Custodes have fared reasonably well in 9th edition and got a bit of a mixed bag from this FAQ. The big wins are Wardens and the Caladius coming down in cost, with the latter now much more likely to see use.
With a fresh new codex released last weekend, it should be no surprise that we do not have any new points values for Adeptus Mechanicus units. The Death Rider increases are pretty rough but tamer than what we might have expected and so there may still be a place for them. The Baneblade and its variants get a huge boost here with a 40 point drop and changes to the CP cost for Super Heavy Auxiliary Detachments that will at the very least ensure some players try them out. No one should really be shocked by this development — the Lord of Change was an absolute terror late last year, powering many Daemons lists to top finishes.
Its utility has diminished a bit since, but it still sees fairly regular play in lists that bring a detachment of Daemons. The changes to Chaos Space Marines were minor — most of the juicy stuff happened back in January with the drops to Raptors and Terminators — but there were a few important ones to note.
The big changes here are the adjustments to Cultists and Venomcrawlers. Chosen are still not worth spending much time on as Elites choices even at 14ppm and neither are Land Raiders.
A trio of Venomcrawlers backed by a Lord Discordant is nothing to sneeze at, and combining them with something like Epidemius can be pretty nasty. In need of some help, Craftworlds Eldar received a number of key unit points drops. This is hot stuff, and great news for Craftworlds players. While this does not reconstitute the war god to his pre-sundered form, it does augment his abilities greatly.
When the time for the battle emerges the avatar has swelled with the essences of many avatars throughout the galaxy. I felt it was important to create a sensibly explanation on how there are two different rules for what is essentially the same entity. The fluff behind the avatar is that he arises after the sacrifice of an exarch and at a time when the entirety of the craftworld is driven to war.
He really does not belong in the casual or point games from a fluff perspective. I have not had a use for my standard avatar for a while, and I noticed that his presence is absent from the majority of games involving eldar. Update: I found some more fluff supporting my avatar in the new tyranid codex. The avatar was quoted as being able to destroy the creature, who sent the carnifexes to destroy the threat fearing for its own survival.
This suggests an avatar far more substantial than the rules represent. Also the act of sending a dozen carnifexes to dispatch the avatar also shows the level of threat the avatar represented to the tyrant.
