Wait a minute! That's the same thing an Eldar Avatar does in one of the
earlier WD stories. I believe its some fluff to go with the new Avatar's
rules for 1st Ed 40K. The Avatar fights a Keeper of Secrets for a few hours
and finally wins by breaking its back over his knee!

Do GW have the same obsession with breaking backs on knees as they do with
buckets of skulls poured liberally over all imagery?
