One of the most badass entity out there in 40k, still there are numerous apearances that contradict themselves about how storng an avatar realy is.In the novel that describes the fall of the craftworld of Ilanden (or whatever is spelled) when the avatar confrunts  the swarmlord,he dosen't even manage to aproach him bofore beeing killed by his guards wich is preety pathetic... and also in the dawn of war seeries an avatar was born without his sword and was defeated by angelos and isador,and it wasn't even a close victory,while Maneus Calgar (which is a chapter master armed with a pair of legendary gauntlets barley defeated one. And when the Biel'tan alied with Iladen to fight the tyranids on a world that was the meeting place of two Hive fleets they lost the avatar and where forced to retreat, BUT (and this is where it gets confusing) the avatar of Biel'tan survived and not only did it survived but in two weeks he build himself his OWN MOUNTAIN OF NID CORPSES,and you can bet there must have been thousands of carnifexes ,hundreds of tyrants and maybye a few swarmlords in that mountain, this is a feat that is on par or even surpasess those of the primarchs (Angorn was hard pressed when he fought mere humans on that mountain). So... how powerful is an avatar of khaine?
