I love the Avatar, as I think the background behind it is just great. Also, he's really tough! With the 'Inspiring' special rule, he can make your entire Eldar force within range Fearless! Stick him near a couple of units you need to stay together and he's awesome. Being impervious to flamers and meltas is nice, and in combat he can tie up just about anything, if not kill them straight away. So, I like him. But I usually take an Autarch as well in a 1500 point game, as they also give helpful bonuses. So, take both! If you can fit 'em in, that is.
