CODEX EXODITES

The Exodites are the cousins of the Craftworld Eldar. They are less advanced an rely on technology much lethan the Eldar living among the stars but yet they are no less dangerous and still one of the most advanced raceof the galaxy. Codex: Exodites is a guide to collecting and playing (and maybe some day modeling andpainting) an Exodite army for the Warhammer 40,000 game.

THE WARHAMMER 40,000 GAMETo play an Exodite army in the universe of the41st millenium you need the Warhammer 40,000rulebook. If you want to use the Exodite Army tofull effect you also need Codex: Eldar, becausesome Exodite troops are available in this codexbut their rules are not written out due tocopyright reasons. This codex is a fanwork andyou will need your opponents agreement to playan Exodite army by the rules in this codex. Ifyour opponent does not agree on using thisbook, there is a short guide on how to use yourminiatures built for use with this codex by therules of Codex: Eldar.

WHY COLLECT AN EXODITE ARMY?Exodites are a fast and close combat heavyforce with little, but powerful fire support and thefor the Eldar race typical mighty psykersenhance their troops effectivity even further. The

whole army can be compiled of Troops mountedon different kinds of creatures ranging fromagressive beasts to huge, even more aggressivebeasts.The downside of the Exodite army is that theirtroops are low in numbers and can only rely onsporadic fire support.If you like armies consisting mostly of cavalryformations, the feeling of a savage tribecombined with the highly advanced technologyof the eldar or simply are interested in reptiles ordinosaurs, Exodites are an excellent choice foryou. You can also convert your army with other

creatures as mounts, you can use whatever yousee fit to customize your army to match yourtaste.

EXODITE HIGHBORN

The Exodite society is ruled by noble dynasties.Several Exodite Highborn rule territories ofvarious sizes on one maiden world. In times ofwar the Highborn gather their armies formedequally from trained warriors and hired or draftedcivilians and lead them into battle. Based ontheir knowledge of their home the Highborn formstrategies and plan ambushes on their enemies.Guided by a skilled noble the Exodite army cantake any possible advantage over their enemies

out of the terrain available and launchdevastating ambushes, flanking attacks or raidson the enemy forces.The Highborn themselves recieve excellentcombat training and ride ahead of their army ontheir own favored mount to lead them intocombat personally. Some wealthy Highbornfavoring brute force over speed even ride onmonstrous Megadons.

DRAGON KNIGHTS

Exodites mostly swore off technology. Theyalmost entirely renounce vehicles but rather relyon animalic mounts, both for transport andbattle. The most common and most popularmount of the Exodites is known as Dragon.Dragons are sturdy and fast bipedal, predatoryreptiles which are versatilely employable butthese creatures are best known for their use incombat. Mounted most commonly by Dragon

Knights, they almost always appear between theranks of any Exodite Warhost.Dragon Knights are the common cavalry troopsof the Exodite warhost. Knights are trained andequipped for a similar role as Dragoons, thoughless skilled than Dragoons they still are anefficient assault troop to be reckoned with. Beingmore numerous than dragoons, Dragon Knightscan launch comparably massive Cavalry chargesand devastate whole flanks.

OUTRIDERS

Outriders are mounted on the more agileRaptors and scout ahead of the Exodite warhost

or patrol the wilderness of the Maiden World.Outriders usually are the first to fight, aiming forthe enemys artillery or heavy fire units. They are

not intended for a prolonged melee fight, but candeliver quick and deadly strikes against small

units or destroy enemy vehicles with Haywiregrenades.

WILD HUNTERS

Wild Hunters are Exodite trappers, they areusually hunting animals for consumption as well

as for beasts of burden, and mounts. They Whenhunting Wild Hunters imitate the hunting ritualsof the predators of their world instead of justwaiting and shooting their prey like hunters ofmost races would. set traps and ambush animalsto tranquilize or kill them with various poisons ora pair of sharp blades. They wear coats orcloaks made of the hides of the toughest prey

they face. These cloaks grant them betterprotection than the usual Exodite armors.

In times of war Wild Hunters infiltrate territoriesheld by the enemy to set traps and ambush theirforces or simply spy at them.With their poisoned blades Wild Hunters fighttougher enemy infantry and can even bring downresilient enemies such as Plague Marines oreven large monstrosities like Carnifexes.

BLADEDANCERS

Like the Harlequins bladedancers are performersusing their unnaturally graceful dances in battle.

In times of peace they perform their dances oncelebrations and rituals. The blade dance is agraceful and dangerous spectacle of whirlingblades shining in the light of the evening sun andflying bodies between them.

The blade dance knows four different styles, theHawks Talons, the Hail of Blades, the Whirling

Tempest and the Dragon claws. Only a master ofall four styles may call themselves aBladedancer. In the battle these dances are usedto confuse and elude the enemy. Thebladedancers know how to use the same motionto dodge an attack and strike back fiercely.

Dances: In combat Bladedancers performelusive dances to confuse their opponents anddeal out devastating strikes. Bladedancers arealmost permanently in motion and change theirdance style for different effects. Because thecarefully choreographed dances would bedisturbed by anyone not proficient at them, theunit may not be joined by independentcharacters. Bladedancers receive a 4+invulnerable save against attacks in closecombat. At the beginning of each assault phaseyou may pick one of the following dances for theBladedancer unit. The dance stays in effect untilthe next assault phase starts. You may not pickthe same dance on two consecutive turns:Hawks Talons: The Bladedancers use wideswings to deliver precise and powerful strikesagainst their opponents weak spots. TheBladedancers attacks count as rending attacks.Hail of Blades: Extremely fast movements andcomplicated manoeuvres grant the Bladedancers+1 attack each.Whirling Tempest: The Bladedancers move inunpredictable patterns making them hard to hit.Models directing attacks toward the Bladedancerunit lose one attack in each assault phase.Dragon Claws: The Bladedancers sink theirblades deep into their opponents flesh. TheBladedancers add +2 to the result of their rolls towound.

Whistling Storm: The blade dance teaches thedancers to move with unnatural swiftness.Bladedancers can run relentlessly without beingstopped or hindered in any way. Bladedancersignore difficult terrain when moving. Further,when a Bladedancer unit is running it is alwaystreated as having rolled the highest possibledistance. This means they always run up to 6inches.

TERRORWING

Terrorwings are large avian creatures that cancarry a by human standards heavy load without

being impared in their speed significantly.Exodites herd these animals to equip them witha heavy weapon and an Exodite Rider on theirback to fire the weapon.Terrorwings are the mobile fire support of theExodite warhost. They often are used to flank

the enemy and hunt for heavy units, such astanks but can also be equipped to attack infantry

units.Whatever their purpose a swarm of Terrorwingscan quickly change their position in the battlefieldto adapt to almost any unexpected situation thatmight occur during the battle and strike whereverthey are needed.

LasblasterExodites using less advanced technologies thantheir starfaring relatives most commonly uselaser technology instead of the more powerfulshuriken weapons. The most common weapon ofthe Exodite warhost is the Lasblaster. Thoughbeing less powerful than the Craftworld Eldarshuriken weapons, Lasblasters have theadvantage of a higher range. Some exoditeshaving advanced also use primitive shurikenweapons similar to shuriken catapults. Theseweapons are very similar to lasblasters in theireffect. Lasblasters can either be represented bythe appropriate model or a shuriken catapult.(Designers note: this is to allow players without access to the materials to convert enough lasblasters and blast cannons for a whole army to build an Exodite warhost ) Lasblasters use theprofile below.

EXODITE MOUNTSExodites employ various animals as cavalry mounts to charge to battle on. Traditionally the animalsused are some form of large reptiles or dinosaurs, but not every maiden world is ihabited by thesecreatures. An Exodite army may as well use animals of different kinds. Instead of Pterosaurs theymight use large birds, or sabertooth cats instead of Dragons and a more slender kind of cat forRaptors. Instead of a Megadon a kind of Mammoth might be employed. In this codex the animals usedas mounts or warbeasts are each given a specific name according to the traditional image of Exodites,but this should not stop you from using anything else suitable.

DragonThe most popular of Exodite mounts is known asDragon. A fast but resilient bipedal, carnivorousreptile. These creatures have a thick hide thatcan even protect them from small caliber gunfire.Most mounted Exodite troops are mounted onDragons, which not only carry them into combatswiftly but also deliver attacks with their clawsand teeth, effectively increasing the riders

efficiency in close combat. The Dragon mountconfers a +1 bonus to the riders strength,toughness, attack and armour save values andchanges its unit type to cavalry. Attacks using afusion spear, laser- or shock lance do not gainthe strength bonus from the dragon mount.Attacks using a weapon multiplying the wieldersstrength add the dragons strength bonus afterthe base strength value has been multiplied.

PterosaurPterosaurs are flying reptiles that are employedfor their sheer speed and mobility. A pterosaurdoes not have any valuable abilities for close-upcombat, but it can traverse great distances andhindering terrain easily through the air and evadeenemy fire with nimble manoeuvres. Pterosaursare usually used for close range firefights, wherethe riders dash forward to hail the enemy with fire

and then retreat into cover before enemy troopscan return fire. The Pterosaur mount changesthe riders unit type to Eldar-Jetbike. A modelmounted on a Pterosaur does not recieve thebonus to toughness bikes usually grant and isnot allowed to use the turbo boost special rule.

RaptorRaptors are of similar build as Dragons, thoughlighter and even faster. They are not as tough asDragons but make up for this disadvantage withwild agility. Raptors being more nimble thanDragons are commonly used by Scout troops for

quick and silent manoeuvres. The Raptor mountconfers a +1 bonus to the riders weapon skilland initiative values, adds +2 to the ridersattacks and changes its unit type to cavalry.

COUSINS OF THE ELDAR

Not always will your opponents agree on usingfanwork rules or house rules, as they are usuallycalled, such as this codex. Also you might want toplay at tournaments at which house rules are neverpermitted, except for possible house rules written bythe tournament organizers. In these situations yourExodite miniatures might seem useless, but in factthey are not at all. All you need is Codex: Eldar, thefollowing guide and a brief explanation to youropponent.

If you are not allowed to play by the rules of thiscodex you can still play a so called count-as army.This means using an existing official codex torepresent a different army or individual units. In thiscase you use the rules of certain Eldar units torepresent your Exodites. The following list gives youa guide on how to possibly represent your Exoditearmy with Codex: Eldar and which Eldar units couldrepresent which Exodite units. You can of coursechoose different units to represent your exoditemodels, if you see it fit. The most important thing todo is that you explain to your opponent which modeluses which rules.

HQExodite Lord Autarch

The Autarch makes an excellent choice to representyour Exodite Lord. The Autarchs options make itpossible to represent your Lord in any combination. Afusion gun and a laser lance in combination with a

jetbike for example would represent a Lord on dragonwith a fusion spear. And even the Master Strategistspecial rule makes an excellent replacement for theGuerilla Tactics special rule.

Megadon Lord AvatarThe Avatar is a base no Exodite count-as army shouldmiss. The eldar army list does not contain many non-vehicle units with monstrous statistics. If you have a

Megadon Lord, the Avatar is the best choice torepresent him. If your Megadon Lord is armed with afusion spear, you even have something to explain thescreaming blade.

Exodite Seer FarseerThe Exodite Seer and the Eldar Farseer are almostidentical in statistics and even carry extremely similarequipment. The psychic powers available are similartoo. Improve for example could be replaced by Doom and Executioner would be Mind War .

Shaman WarlockYour Shamans can be represented by warlocks withconceal as a replacement for their healing powers.Similar to Shamans Warlocks can be added to manydifferent troops.

ELITESBladedancers BansheesBanshees are quick, acrobatic and have a lot of specialrules and wargear making them suitable to representyour Bladedancers. Their power weapons can beexplained as a part of their dance that lets them hitenemies with unnatural precision and strike theirarmours weak spots. The Exarch powers providewith wonderful special rules to describe Bladedancerdances.

Wild Hunters Striking ScorpionsWild hunters are a bit of a different units than Striking

Scorpions but there are certain characteristics theyhave in common. Both are an infiltrating close combatunit, and have a comparatively high armor save. Sothe Wild Hunters dragonhide cloaks represent the 3+armour save and the strength bonus from scorpionchainswords would be the equivalent for the poisonedhunting blades. Dont worry about the missingshuriken pistols, the cloaks are big enough to hide aset of pistols and your opponents will hardly mindabout them.

Harlequins HarlequinsHarlequins are directly chosen from Codex Eldar andthus are no problem to use in a counts-as army.

TROOPSMilitia GuardiansLittle if any explanation at all is needed here. Militiahave all the options to represent a guardian or stormguardian squad.

Dragon Militia/Wind Knights Guardian JetbikesBoth Dragon Militia and Wind Knights have the exactweaponry at their disposal to represent Guardian

Jetbike rules. Like with the Exodite Lord the Jetbikewill represent the Dragon mounts. The fact that a jetbike ignores terrain when passing over can beexplained by the Exodites knowing their homeworldhave no problems in tight terrain. In case of WindKnights the pterosaur can represent a jetbike withoutany problems of explanation.

Rangers RangersLike Harlequins, Rangers are originally listed inCodex: Eldar and thus are no problem to use.

FAST ATTACKDragoons/Dragon Knights Shining SpearsShining spears are basically the high tech version of Dragon Knights. As before the Dragon mountsrepresent Jetbikes and laser lances are the sameequipment in both armies.

Terrorwings VypersMany players dislike the idea of using the rules of avehicle for a creature, but it is an acceptable stretch.Vypers are fast, flying weapon platforms, basicallythe same as a Terrorwing. To make sure yourterrorwing can be used as a Vyper without anyopponent minding about lacking WYSIWYG (WhatYou See Is What You Get), you can convert yourTerrorwing rider with a pair of Shuriken Catapults orLasblasters.

HEAVY SUPPORTMegadon WraithlordThe wraithlord is a large, tough monstrous creaturethat can be equipped with heavy weapons. It isbasically the same as a Megadon, except its a lottougher and stronger, but also more expensive. YourMegadon can represent a wraithlord with therespective weaponry. A megadon glaive would be awraithsword in that case.

RARE EXODITE UNITS AND ALLIESFROM AMONG THE STARSMissing additionsWith these quite limited choices its not always easy

to put together an effective battle force. Since thereare Eldar Craftworlds that are working closelytogether with Exodites, such as Saim-Hann and BielTan, you can use regular Eldar units in your counts-asExodite force with the explanation that these are alliedforces from a Craftworld. The most commonly neededunits will be transports such as Serpents or specializedstriking units, like Fire Prism tanks or Fire Dragons.You could also make conversions if you can think upan Exodite equivalent to the Eldar Unit you need. Forexample a large winged creature such as aWarhammer dragon with the respective weaponrycould represent an Eldar grav tank or a herd of

slamanders for Fire Dragons.
