I've seen quite a few threads about the Avatar and never is enough credit given to the fact that he can get a Melta that has to get two 1's in a row to actually miss; oh and you get 2 shots with it. He also gets to shoot it after running.

If there is a Battlewagon with Boyz, Landraider with Storm Shield Terminators or a Vindicator about to get in range to pie-plate whoever it feels like, the Avatar can reliably 1-shot all of them and, in the case of passengers, expose a lot of them to your guns.

Yes the 12 in. Fearless unit bubble is very useful, too.
