I made the mistake (again) of recently buying the Eldar dex Spanish version tho I knew the translation would be subpar. Then I found a bit in the Avatar page that made me laugh and wonder what kind of freudian slip the translators did. Under the Remmant of Glory's description it says Wailing Doom is a 60cm sword  . As a 60cm sword is kind of lame on a huge demon  might I request the english version measurement units?

Well...do you consider 2 ft to be "many feet"?

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

For a figure with a sword larger than its body, 2ft are kind of lacking don't you think?

Ladies...
And yes, if the Avatar's sword is only 60cm, that means that everything in 40k is hilariously tiny.
They may have meant 60 decimeters, which would make for a more reasonable twenty or so feet for those still using archaic systems of measurement.

Makes sense, given the apparently varying size of the Avatar. From marginally larger than a Wraithguard ( GW model) to Wraithlord sized ( FW model) to even larger (DoW2 model)
