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

Product Information

What exactly happens in the inner sanctum, none knows, for no Young King has ever lived to speak of it. But inevitably, after a few moments, the doors will open again, and the Avatar, fully empowered, will march to war. Of the Young King, no trace, save perhaps the dripping blood on the hands of the Avatar, will remain...

As Khaine slew Eldanesh, his hands began to drip with red blood. Forever after he was to become known as Khaela Mensha Khaine, which means "Khaine the Bloody-Handed" in the Aeldari Lexicon. By this time, Asuryan, the greatest of the Aeldari Gods, had seen enough of the slaughter and proclaimed the War in Heaven over. Khaine had gained his vengeance and left the field satisfied. Elven Legends tell that Khaine will return in the Rhana Dandra, the final apocalyptic battle with Chaos, to fight the Ruinous Powers, and that his strength will be required to defeat them.

New Eldar Avatar Model Teasers

Sweating already? That’s not just the heat emanating from his blistering body. The Wailing Doom – or Suin Daellae , for the Aeldari amongst you – is the Avatar’s signature weapon. With its edge honed by Vaul and its balance tested by Asuryan, all three forms of this divine weapon are thirsty for blood.* Here’s Mark Gibbons’s artwork for the Avatar and honestly it’s pretty awesome. Since GW has been loving to put minis on the base (like primaris lieutenants) this makes even more sense. There have been rumors floating around for a while now about a new Eldar Avatar miniature, and while we like the old one, we would love for it to look more like the picture above. All in all, a successful update of this iconic Aeldari centrepiece, and the optional heads and weapons create welcome opportunities for personalisation. Value Once an Exarch is chosen, he or she becomes the Young King. The gender matters not, and a female will still be referred to as the "Young King," for she embodies Eldanesh, and Eldanesh was male. When the Ritual of the Young King reaches the moment for awakening the Avatar, the other Exarchs will gather in the antechamber of Khaine's shrine and form a circle around the Young King, softly chanting. They will solemnly assist the Young King in removing his or her Exarch Armour, which will reverently be returned to its Aspect Shrine. The Avatar offers something for painters, too.* Obviously we have an ‘Eavy Metal version, but it’s going to be really interesting to see how many different takes there are on this.

Among the humans of the Old World, Khaine is seen as the younger brother of Morr, the God of the Dead, and he is worshiped as the Lord of Murder by assassins and other professional killers. It is said that Khaine is jealous of Morr's rulership over the dead, and thus also over death. 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. In Aeldari Mythology, it was Isha, the goddess of the harvest, fertility and healing, who had inspired the creation of Asuryan's barrier between mortals and their gods, as she had wept over the destruction that Khaine, as the god of war and murder, was causing amongst her children, after he was told by Lileath, the goddess of dreams and fortune, that the mortal Aeldari would one day be responsible for seeing him cut into pieces. It is also said that the first Spirit Stones were crafted from her tears by Vaul so that the gods and mortals would be able to communicate with each other once more through the barrier erected between the Immaterium and the Materium by the Phoenix King.
