The vehicles are sufficient, and since they become part of the detachment, I
would assume you have solved the need for coordinating orders. Although now
your Waveserpents are tethered tot he wraithguard.

I love the Avatar. Nobody EVER expects him to do anything, so when he does
it totally screws with their head. Just place him so he will have to
overrun objectives in order to chase the enemy. The best is an objective in
the open (so if someone is actually on it you can see the unit and the
avatar will atack) and about 30-40 cm off your starting line. It's nearly
perfect if you have terrain screening each side so the avatar won't get
drawn off course by some nearby unit.

Am I the only one who has ever had any luck with him?
