When no one was looking, the Swarmlord trampled an Avatar of Khaine to death with twelve carnifexes. It used 12 carnifexes. That’s as many as four threes. And that’s terrible.
@друг Which is sad af for the semi physical incarnation of a God of War that should still have a lot of power seeing the Gods exist always and never and can draw energy from i.e. periods when they had almost a whole galaxy worshipping them.
I still remember that one story in which an Avatar got to be awesome when the Eldar abandoned it on a Tyranid infested world, only to return later and find that the Avatar was still alive and kicking bug ass on a mountain of their own dead.
Farseer: AT LAST! WE HAVE AWAKENED THE AVATAR OF KHAINE! TREMBLE BEFORE THE POWER OF A GOD, MONSTERS! Guardian: *looks at Avatar of Khaine* It doesn't seem that powerful... Exarch: It wasn't that much. Guardian: Huh, so this is the power of Khaine? Exarch: Yes. Guardian: So it's- Exarch: *sigh* All downhill from here. Guardian: Just like the Exodites...
Fun fact: this matchup actually happened in the lore, and it's one of the few times the Avatar actually got a W. In "Valedor" the Eldar are forced to leave an Avatar on an exodite world which is getting overwhelmed by Tyranids. They return later on and find the Avatar still alive and fighting atop a literal mountain of Tyranid corpses.
The post battle conversation: Swarmlord: Now I'm in deep trouble one more giant flaming sword swing and I'd be crispy, now I somehow managed to find cover and then what does the avatar of khaine do? Old one eye: he starts monologuing Swarmlord: he starts monologuing!, he starts like this pre-prepared speech about "how feeble I am compared to him and how inevitable my defeat is and how the sector shall soon be his", yada yada yada . . . Old one eye: yammering Swarmlord: yammering! I mean the guy had me on a silver platter and he won't shut up!
Oooh man, his enunciation and the vocoder mod he's using... just... You hit the "Zeal-hyped Avatar of the God of the Space Elves" RIGHT on the head. Bra-freaking-vo.
Everyone's talking about how the Avatar of Khaine is weak, yet he was able to give THREE Carnifexes a piggy back ride at once before falling down. Can a Dreadnought do that? The Eldar are too strong
eldars: if we sneak attack their weak points they might just loose the war tyrannids: *homogenous blob of conscienciousness with little to none leaders*
Bruh that’s from the Leviathan omnibus Iyanden opening fight Prince Yirel hops on a jet bike while a horde of carnifexs attack the Avatar of Khaine while the Swarlord watches This makes that epic confrontation look so stupid
So, how often has Khaine appeared and actually succeeded? I only know of this and the time where Fulgrim just semi casually slapped him away, as if he only exists to show how big the other bad is
He banished Skarbrand in a mutual kill in Biel Tan, while in Valedor he kept fighting tyranids for a long time, to the point that the eldar that had left him behind were surprised he was still living and killing
I few days ago I rushed to use the bathroom, little did I know a avatar of khaine was in there who just finished using the bathroom and when I burst through the door it swung inward and ended up slaming the avatar into my bathtub. Should have locked the door
...So the first time I watched this, I saw the Swarmlord getting stabbed in the mouth. Now when I try to replay the ending the spear stops right in front of the Swarmlord's face. It has such a strong '...Really?' energy
