Who's the mad that let you roast a bounch of Bikes to enscort the Avatar
along the battlefield??? he must have points to give away...

10+ years ago maybe you played AT or SM 1st edition, so rules where
different, if some years later you played Epic The Avatar was just a
funny miniature moving 10 cm at time roaming in the field, NetEpic gave
the Avatar 30 cm movement and it's still useless in most of cases

If the Avatar can get in touch with you it's only a strategic fault
IMHO, anyway it can pin just one model in CC or throw his weapon at 15
cm, mmh a big problem indeed

With a "sit & fire" IG or Squat Army _nothing_ could go in CC with
anything but some Jet Bikes (at least if your opponent never fields
Hidras in which case, bye bye Bikes)

I'm sure I'm not the one that can tell you how build your Army list :o)
but the examples above are the exception, not the rule, for example with
Armies that must advance to win a game you'll see even Chaos Demons go
in CC with something (and it will be immediatly dead, not the demon
obviously) If you don't like Chaos Slowness Just try a Chaos Marine Army
or similar, but Anyway it's up to your battle style.
