INTRODUCTION THE WARHAMMER 40,000 GAME

HOW THIS BOOK WORKS

The Warhammer 40,000 rulebook contains the rules you need to fight battles with your Citadel miniatures in the war-torn universe of the 41st millennium. Every army has its own codex book that works with these rules and allows you to turn your collection of miniatures into an army organised and ready for battle. This codex describes the untamed forces of the Eldar Exodites, details the army, and displays miniatures and conversions that you can collect.

This codex is split into five main sections that deal with different aspects of the army: The Eldar Exodites The first section introduces the Eldar Exodites and their part in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It includes details of how they fled from the catastrophic times of the Fall, how they fared after these tumultuous times, and the state of the Exodite worlds in the present time period. It also presents a detailed background on Exodite beliefs and spiritualism, as well as their ways of war.

WHY COLLECT AN EXODITE ARMY? A typical Exodite force consists of numerous cavalry units, able to deliver a fierce and deadly assault en masse, or attack along an extended front. These powerful units are supported by specialised units of beasts that can use their bestial abilities to take down tough or numerous opponents. These are likewise backed up by enormous creatures capable of tearing open a battle tank or bringing down the largest of foes. These strengths are balanced by the fact that an Exodite army will tend to be outnumbered by most other forces, requiring their commander to maneuver them carefully to avoid excessive losses before they can reach close combat, where they will generally excel.

Forces of the Exodites Each and every character, troop type, vehicle, beast and monstrous creature in the Exodite army is examined in the second section. You will find a full description, alongside complete rules and details of any unique powers they possess or specialist wargear they carry into battle. Also in the section, you will find a listing of special rules and wargear that apply to numerous units in the Exodite army. Exodite Army List The army list takes all of the troops presented in the previous section and arranges them so you can choose a force for your games. The army list categorises the units you can pick into HQ, Troops, Elites, Fast Attack and Heavy Support choices. Each troop type also has a points value to help you pit your force against an opponent’s in a game of Warhammer 40,000.

The Exodites are quite an interesting army to play, and not for the beginner. You will need to convert many of the models for the army, which requires some skill and much patience. However, there are few sights as breathtaking as a fullyconverted and well painted Exodite army taking the field!

The Exodite Warhost In this section you will see photographs and read details of the many conversion possibilities for representing units available to the Exodite army. Suggestions for color schemes and embellishments may also be found here. Exodites in Competitive Play While this codex presents a balanced and playable army list for the Eldar Exodites, it is by no means official and it is unlikely that you will be able to obtain permission to use it in a tournament or competitive league. While it is by no means the primary scope of this document, it would be quite a pity to spend a good deal of time lovingly converting and painting a beautiful Exodite army, only to be unable to use it in a competitive setting if the urge strikes. With this in mind, the final section of this codex presents suggestions for fielding the various Exodite units as a “Counts As” force using the rules for standard craftworld Eldar and/or Dark Eldar.

TH T H E E L D A R E X O D I T E S Living at the edges of the known galaxy, on worlds seeded with life in ancient days, the Exodites are the most rustic and reclusive members of the once-proud and dominant Eldar race. Their worlds are volcanically active, covered in lush, vibrant jungles teeming with gigantic reptilian creatures. The Exodites are the hardiest members of their race, their lives filled with selfimposed hardship and toil, and plagued by conflict against both their environment and the myriad enemies who regard their fertile worlds with envious eyes.

EXODITE WORLDS Since they were first settled, the Exodite worlds have not changed a great deal. The Eldar that live there have learned how to cultivate crops and harvest other natural resources. The craftworld Eldar regard the Exodites as rustic and rather simple folk, vigorous and wild in a way that is quite unlike their own introverted societies. In turn, the Exodites regard the craftworlders as narrow-minded, strict and arrogant. Craftworlders and Exodites travel within each other's realms, but their different outlook and way of life means that they have their own concerns.

THE EXODUS During the Fall the degeneration of the Eldar did not go wholly without resistance. Some, the more prescient, began to openly criticise the laxity of their fellow citizens, and to warn against the effect of pleasure cults. Soon the general collapse of society convinced even the most resolute amongst them that there would be no end to the reign of death and depravity. Some decided to leave the Eldar worlds, and settle new planets free of creeping corruption.

The Exodite worlds are untamed and often dangerous planets. Mighty rivers roar unchecked over their natural flood plains. Massive forests and jungles stretch over thousands of miles of virgin woodland. The few meager settlements co-exist with wild beasts of all kinds. The Exodites are too few to disturb the balance of nature. Their settlements are small and thinly scattered. Many are occupied only for a few months of the year, because on many worlds the Exodites are nomadic, moving with the seasons and the herds. They time their migrations so that they arrive at their camps in the late summer to collect crops planted in the spring, remaining until it is time to plant the following year's crop and move on.

These Eldar are known as the Exodites. Of all the Eldar race they were uniquely far-sighted. Amongst a race naturally indulgent and hedonistic they were reviled as dour fanatics obsessed with misery and gloom. There were some whose dire premonitions were perhaps yet another form of insanity, simply one more conceit taken to inhuman extremes. Others were genuine survivalists who chose exile over degradation and destruction. In an assortment of spacecraft the Exodites abandoned their homes. Many died out in open space. Some reached new worlds only to be slain by marauding Orks or slavering predators. Many more survived. For the most part they headed eastwards as far away from the main concentration of Eldar worlds as they could reach.

The wild creatures that inhabit the Exodite worlds are many and varied. Most of the Exodite worlds are now home to large herds of megadons and other gigantic beasts. It is likely that these creatures are native to the region, but that the early settlers spread them throughout the worlds so that they are now common. The Exodites follow the herds as they graze the endless grasslands of the great plains. By carefully managing the herds the Eldar live upon them, eating their flesh, drinking their blood and utilising their hides to make clothing and leather. Although this lifestyle is in many respects a primitive one, the Exodites have many advanced technologies and are familiar with all the sophisticated materials used on the Craftworlds. It is by choice that they live as they do, and their way of life has proven every bit as successful as that of the other Eldar.

Upon the fringes of the galaxy the Exodites made new homes. The worlds they settled were savage and life was often hard for a people unused to physical work and self-denial. When the final cataclysm erupted most of the Exodite worlds were far from the epicentre and survived. Many craftworlds rode out the psychic shock wave, but the Exodites had already reached places of safety - or else they perished with the rest of their race and have been forgotten.

SPIRIT STONES Like their craftworld cousins, every Exodite wears a shining gem or polished stone upon his breast. This psycho-receptive crystal is called a waystone, and is attuned solely tot he mind of its owner. Its purpose is to capture the psychic energy of the Eldar when it is released at the moment of death, becoming a spirit stone. As such energies carry with them a large part of an Eldar's sense of identity, personality, and memories, it is quite correct to think of this psychic energy as a soul. If an Eldar's spirit is not captured by his waystone it is sucked into the nightmarish depths of the Warp. To a Human, such a fate means nothing, for virtually no Human mind is strong enough to retain a sense of consciousness after death - the psychic energy of the Human mind being paltry compared to that of an Eldar. Yet for an Eldar to enter the Realm of Chaos as a conscious spirit represents the ultimate horror. In the Warp there is nowhere an Eldar spirit can hide from the predations of Slaanesh; the nemesis of the Eldar waits to consume them as it did their ancestors. To perish in this way is the ultimate fear for the Eldar. it is little wonder that the Eldar prize their spirit stones more than life itself, and will go to incredible lengths to preserve and recover them.

EXODITE SOCIETY

BELIEFS OF THE EXODITES

The Exodites are a tribal people. Each tribe, or kindred as they are known, owes allegiance to a local noble kindred who in turn owes fealty to the planet's Dragon King and his royal kindred. As there are relatively few Eldar there are few territorial disputes. The kindreds live within substantial areas which easily meet their grazing and cultivation requirements. Open wars between kindreds are rare but skirmishes between rival young Dragon Knights are common. Although not openly warlike, the Exodites are a robust, self-confident people and they possess the legendary pride of the Eldar race. Knights frequently try to steal away a rival's beasts or may attempt to move their herds over the grazing areas of other kindreds. Such matters are seen as part of a Knight's training, and the dangers of death or serious injury are an accepted part of a young warrior's life. These raids and occasional deaths do not embitter the kindreds, and it is notable that no matter how hard fought their disputes might be no Eldar would despoil or steal the crops of a rival kindred even though these lie unprotected for months at a time.

While the Eldar of the craftworlds have all but abandoned the worship of the old Eldar pantheon, the Exodites hold to a traditional veneration and worship of these gods and goddesses. Though it is generally agreed that only the Avatars of Khaine and the enigmatic Laughing God survived the great cataclysm, the Exodites teach that some of their gods allowed a small measure of their power to follow them as they fled the Fall. Whether this is true or not is uncertain, but it is evident that there is some power in the highly musical ceremonies and rituals performed by the Exodites. Some Imperial scholars who are knowledgeable about such things suggest that perhaps the strong belief of the Exodites, coupled with the psychic nature of their race and the psycho-reactive nature of the world spirits that encompass their worlds, produce a powerful psychic resonance that they tap into on an unconscious level through their prayers and music. Music is, in fact, at the very center of the Exodites’ belief system. It is through music that they invoke the ancient power of their fallen gods. They perform musical ceremonies and rituals to help them produce more bountiful harvests, guide them to the richest hunting grounds, and even aid them in battle. Most kindreds will have at least one Dragonsinger, highly empathic Exodites who use their music to soothe and train the many creatures the Exodites rely on for their daily survival, and lend courage and strength to their fellows when they ride to war.

War and battle is not uncommon on the worlds of the Exodites. Ork raids are a constant threat and human settlers are no respecters of Eldar territory. Amongst the most persistent foes are the human settlers of the Knight Worlds which lie closely intermingled with the planets of the Exodites. The human Knight Lords are aggressive, warlike people whose determined independence makes it impossible for even the Imperium to control them. Like the Exodites they are descendants of ancient settlers, raised amidst constant danger and proud of their autonomy. Their fierce war machines are a common sight on the Exodite worlds. Battles between these giant war machines and valiant Exodite warriors are always hard-fought and destructive, but the Eldar are capable of aggression too. They use the Webway to reach the Knight Worlds where their raids are often so devastating that entire planets are subsequently abandoned.

Some Exodites are more closely attuned to the psychic resonance of the world spirits, and are able to commune with the souls contained within through even stranger songs and rituals. These unusual individuals are known as Spiritsingers, and are revered among the kindreds for their ability to draw on the power of the world spirit and the knowledge of the ancestors who rest therein.

THE WORLD SPIRIT When an Exodite dies his spirit stone is retrieved and his body is taken beneath the earth into one of the great tribal barrows. They are laid to rest there and their spirit stones are broken upon the altars of the world spirit. Very similar to the infinity circuits of the craftworlds, the world spirit is a complex psychic energy grid that extends under the entire surface of every Exodite world, stretching between the tribal barrows, stone circles and standing stones. These important places are where the spirit world and the material world can interact, where the spirits of the dead can flow together, and where the living can talk to the dead if they have the power. The stone circles and standing stones are made from psychically interactive crystal. These towering stones are gigantic spirit stones that anchor psychic power into the earth. The links between them form part of the Eldar webway, but the paths from the webway into the world spirits are well hidden and protected. The most potent link in the entire world spirit network is the royal circle of the planet's Dragon King. This impressive structure consists of a system of concentric circles connected by avenues of megalithic spirit stones. The royal circle is supported by outlying menhirs that carry power throughout the entire planet and focus the energy of the world upon that one spot.

EXODITE MYTHOLOGY The Exodites pass down their history in a rich, ritualistic form of oral tradition. To the outsider, these tales are wondrous, fantastical and nearly unbelievable. The trained ear, however, can glean much from these records of ancient times. Many of these stories relate to the gods of the Eldar pantheon, especially those who took an active role in cultivating the ancient Eldar civilisation.

THE SWORDS OF VAUL Isha and Kurnous suffered the fiery torments of Khaine's confinement for countless years. Bound with bonds of flame and scorching iron, the god and goddess were cast into a burning pit out of the sight of mortals and gods. Of all the gods only Vaul the Smith pleaded for them, and eventually he swore an oath to Khaine that he would make a hundred swords in exchange for their release, for Vaul was the greatest swordsmith of all eternity and a single blade forged by his hand was of incalculable value. A date was fixed one year hence for the completion of the bargain. When the ti me came for Vaul to deliver the weapons, he had still one unfinished blade. To conceal the shortfall, Vaul took an ordinary mortal blade and mixed it amongst his own work. At first Khaine was so pleased with the weapons that he failed to spot the deception. Only when Isha, Kurnous and Vaul were far away did he discover the forgery. He roared with anger, calling Vaul a cheat and crying out for vengeance. This was the beginning of the long struggle between K haine and Vaul, which is called the War in Heaven.

THE ELDAR PANTHEON The principle characters in the mythology of the Exodites are the gods. The chief and oldest of all the gods is Asuryan, the Phoenix King. His first brother is Kaela Mensha Khaine, which means bloody-handed Khaine. Khaine is the god of both war and murder, and he symbolises wanton destruction and martial prowess. Third of the greatest gods is Vaul, the crippled smith god who is often depicted chained to his own anvil. Isha is the goddess of the harvest, and it is from Isha that the Eldar race is descended. Kurnous, the god of the hunt, is the father of the Eldar race, and is often depicted in conjunction with hounds, hawks and other trappings of the hunt. The youngest goddess is Lileath the Maiden, who is mistress of dreams and fortune. The third in the trinity of Eldar goddesses is Morai-Heg, the Crone, an ancient and withered creature who holds the fates of mortals inside a skin rune pouch. Cegorach, the Laughing God, was the trickster and artist of the Eldar pantheon.

THE WAR IN HEAVEN The War in Heaven lasted for years, and there are many tales of the battles between the gods and their many servants. Gods took sides and changed sides, struck bargains of mutual support and broke them, and the heavens shook with the noise of battle. Asuryan refused to take sides, for he had begun to regret his hasty anger with Isha and despaired of the war god's destruction.

THE TEARS OF ISHA The Eldar race was born as the mortal children of Isha, the goddess of the harvest, and Kurnous, the god of the hunt. Lileath, Isha's daughter, dreamed that Khaine would be torn into a hundred pieces by a great mortal army. When Khaine learned of this, he flew into a tempestuous rage and resolved to destroy the Eldar race. He pursued them through the universe, trapping and slaying many before Asuryan heard the weeping of Isha and so learned of Khaine's plan. To save the few who remained, Asuryan placed a great barrier between mortals and gods, dividing them for all eternity.

Vaul reforged the final blade, the sword that he had failed to finish for Khaine, and he made it the mightiest sword of all. He called it Anaris, which means dawnlight, and with this weapon in his hand he strode to do battle with Khaine. The fight was long and Vaul did Khaine much hurt. Anaris darted as swift and deadly as lightning, but in the end Khaine overpowered the smith god and toppled him from heaven. It was as a result of this long battle that Vaul is said to have suffered the injuries which left him crippled. Khaine chained Vaul to his own anvil with chains of iron and the War in Heaven was won by the war god.

This went very hard with Isha, who now wept all the more because her mortal children had been separated from her. Isha and Kurnous pleaded with Vaul the Smith to help them. Vaul knew that Asuryan would never change his mind, but his heart was softened by Isha's plea. From her tears Vaul forged the spirit stones, by means of which Isha could see and talk to her children.

THE FALL OF THE ELDAR Much has been written about the abrupt ending of the galaxyspanning civilisation created by the Eldar. Their pride and arrogance, coupled with their technological and cultural achievements led them into depths of decadence and depravity, the limits of which only the Eldar mind is capable of understanding. In time, the echoes of the depraved thoughts and actions of so many Eldar coalesced in the Warp to form the Chaos god known as Slaanesh, whose birth pangs were the death-knell of the Eldar civilisation. Most of the Eldar gods were slain in this cataclysm. Only Cegorach, the Laughing God, survived unharmed, while Khaine was rent into many fragments and driven out of the Warp forever.

One day Khaine overheard Isha as she spoke to her children and he immediately told Asuryan. The Phoenix King was very angry that his commands had been disobeyed. He told Khaine that as Isha and Kurnous had betrayed him, Khaine could do with them as he wished. This suited Khaine very well, as he still feared that Lileath's prophecy would be fulfilled. He made the god and goddess his prisoners, and though he could not slay them he ensured that they endured constant torment and confinement.

FORCES OF THE EXODITES This section of the book details the forces at the disposal of an Exodite World – their weapons, the units, and the historical ‘special characters’ that you can choose, such as Dyann Al’Athar – the – the ‘Great Warrior King’ of Bai’nBai’n-Ish or El’Iysa Ishmal – ‘The – ‘The Voice of the Mother’. Each entry describes the unit and gives the rules to use them in your games of Warhammer 40,000. The rules are broken up into categories:

“ Raise your voices in the song of battle my kinsmen, ride ride with me to war. Drive these mon-keigh back; defend your homes, your honor and the World Spirit herself!” herself! ” -Dyann Al’Athar, Dragon King of Bai’n -Ish

Special Rules: These are rules that make each unit exceptional. These always apply to that unit.

Dragonsongs and Instruments: Dragonsingers sing strange songs or play finely crafted instruments that have curious effects on their allies and enemies. These strange musical abilities are only available to Dragonsingers, and they are described in detail in the Dragonsinger entry.

Wargear: Almost all Exodite units have typical weapons and other wargear mentioned in their description. Some is automatically included with that unit, whereas other items of wargear are optional – optional – this this is detailed in the army list.

Melodies and Harmonies: Spiritsingers have access to special Psychic Disciplines known as Melodies and Harmonies. These powerful abilities are only usable by Spiritsingers, and they are described in detail in the Spiritsinger Disciplines section.

EXODITE SPECIAL RULES These Special Rules apply to many different units in the Exodite army. They are presented here for convenience, and to avoid needing to repeat them in each unit entry where they are applicable.

DRAGONHIDE

HEAVY CAVALRY

The various fighting beasts and riding mounts used by the Exodites possess thick, scaly hides which are very resilient.

The riding beasts used by Exodite Dragon Knights are not quite as swift as the beasts ridden by the mounted troops of many other forces, but they are quite a bit stronger and more resilient, qualities their riders are able to exploit quite well in combat.

A model with this special rule has a 6+ Invulnerable Save.

Heavy Cavalry units follow the normal rules for Cavalry units, with the following exceptions. They do not have the Fleet special rule, and increase their Toughness by 1. (This is already taken into account in the units’ profiles.) profiles.) In addition, Heavy Cavalry add +1 to their Strength for Hammer of Wrath Attacks.

FERAL INSTINCTS When the Exodites ride to war, they are able to summon aid in the form of the myriad creatures that flourish on their lush worlds. These creatures will fight ferociously for their Exodite masters as long as they remain empathically linked to a nearby Dragonsinger. If this link is lost for long, the beasts are likely to flee from the cacophony of battle.

JUNGLE BORN The Exodite worlds are harsh and dangerous jungles without exception and the Exodites quickly learn to master their environment as a matter of survival.

Units with this rule may re-roll failed Morale and Pinning tests if they are within 12” of a Dragonsinger. Units with this rule which are Falling Back may not attempt to Regroup at the start of their Turn unless they are within 12” of a friendly Dragonsinger.

All Exodite units with this special rule, including Monstrous Creatures and Vehicles, are treated as having the Move Through Cover special rule, but only in regards to Jungle and Forest terrain unless otherwise noted. In addition, they have the Stealth (Jungles, Forests) special rule.

If a unit with this rule has a charge declared against them while they are Falling Back, they may attempt to Regroup as normal regardless of the proximity of a Dragonsinger. If they pass their Regroup Test, Drakes, Sailbacks and Trichedons count all enemy units in the combat as having the Fear special rule for the duration of the combat, whilst Carnosaurs, Drakes, Firemouths and Raptors count as having the Hatred special rule for the duration of the combat.

THUNDEROUS CHARGE Some of the beasts used by the Exodites in battle are large and ponderous, but are capable of building up an incredible momentum, smashing nearly anything in their path. Units with this rule completely ignore difficult terrain when charging (i.e. they are not slowed by it, nor do they reduce their Initiative when charging through it). In addition, units with this rule gain +D3 Attacks instead of +1 when charging (roll once for the whole unit). If the unit makes a disordered charge, they do not benefit from this Attack bonus.

EXODITE WARGEAR This section of Codex: Exodites lists the weapons and equipment used by the Exodites, along with rules for using them in your games of Warhammer 40,000. Weapons and other equipment that are carried by only a single unit or named special characters are detailed in the appropriate unit entry, while weapons and equipment used by multiple units are detailed here.

Shuriken Weapons Shuriken weapons fire monomolecular bladed discs at an astonishing rate, each near invisible to the naked eye but hard enough to scythe through the foe with ease. This ammunition is stored as a solid core of plasti-crystal material. A series of highenergy impulses originate at the rear of the weapon and fly through the barrel at terrific speed. Each impulse detaches a monomolecular slice of the ammunition core and catapults it from the weapon’ s barrel, allowing each of these instruments i nstruments of war to fire up to a hundred bladed discs in a few seconds. Shuriken weapons come in many shapes and sizes, from the shuriken pistols carried by Harlequins and Rangers t o the much larger shuriken cannons often mounted on War Walkers and Megadons.

Flamer Flamers are short-ranged weapons that spew out highly volatile clouds of liquid chemicals that ignite on contact with air. They are primarily used to scour the enemy from defended positions, as walls are no defence against bl asts of superheated vapour. Range Template

Some heavier Eldar laser weapons are calibrated to send out a staccato series of bl asts, whilst others narrow their focus to such a degree they can pierce any armour, no matter the thickness.

To the Eldar, it is further testament to the idiocy of Man that he has created a weapon that frequently maims or even kills the wielder. The sophisticated starcannons of the Eldar have no such flaws. Each weapon’s plasma core produces the incandescent heat of a star, but sophisticated containment fields ensure the gun’s exterior remains cool to the touch.

Wraithbow Exodite wraithbows are crafted from pure wraithbone and psychically attuned to their bearer. Hurling shafts of psychicallycharged wraithbone over great distances, wraithbows are deadly in the hands of a skilled marksman. Some highly skilled individuals are able to craft and use specialised arrows that allow additional effects. Swarm arrows are designed to break apart in flight, splintering into thousands of tiny shards of psycho-reactive material that are capable of devastating lightly armoured infantry. Drake arrows instead focus the psychic energies of the user into an intense fiery tip that is capable of burning through nearly anything.

Melee Weapons Cavalry Lances

Poisoned Blade

Exodite Dragon Knights carry long, dangerous lances which build up pulses of energy that can be released with explosive force on nearing their target. These are used on low-powered settings to deliver shocks strong enough to goad even the largest and most stubborn megadons. When powered up, they are capable of inflicting horrific injuries. Most Dragon Knights carry the simple Dragon Lance, while the more experienced leaders and nobles will often carry more powerful Laser Lances. Storm Lances are used to deal with enemy vehicles. The Drake Lance is a rare weapon said to contain the fiery breath of a great drake, which may be unleashed upon the enemies of the Exodites.

The Exodites coat these wickedly sharp blades in poisons derived from the native flora fl ora and fauna of the Exodite worlds, the better to sow agony and death amongst those who seek to encroach upon and despoil their homes.

Wargear Dragon Helm

Pterasaur

Reserved for only the most skilled members of the Exodite nobility, a dragon helm is both a badge of honor and a protective ward. The psychic matrix in the helm allows the wearer to better deflect incoming fire.

Some dragonwarder kindreds make use of specially trained pterasaurs as mounts, allowing them to soar over a battlefield and rain death upon their enemies from on high. A model mounted on a pterasaur becomes Unit Type: Jump Heavy Cavalry.

A model wearing a dragon helm may always take their armour save against weapons of AP 3 or worse. Weapons of AP 2 or better negate their armour save as nor mal. Note that this does not improve their armour save, it merely allows them to roll an armour save when it might normally have been negated.

Scattershield Used to protect precious Eldar war-constructs, a scattershield is a gigantic fan-shaped shield generator that converts the energy of incoming attacks into a blinding spray of multicoloured light.

Dragonhide Cloak Many members of the Exodite nobility wear cloaks made of toughened dragonhide, usually the skin of a megadon. The process for creating these cloaks i s long and complicated, as the dragonhide is very tough but must be made supple as well in order to be worn as a cloak.

The bearer has a 5+ Invulnerable Save. Whenever the bearer passes one or more saving throws using its scattershield, all units (friend and foe) within 6” must test as if they had just been hit by a weapon with the Blind special rule – even those that are engaged in close combat. A unit that passes the Initiative test is immune to the Blind rule for the rest of the phase.

A model wearing a dragonhide cloak increases their dragonhide invulnerable save from 6+ to 5+.

Shield of Champions Those Dragon Knights who have proven themselves as champions of the King’s Tournament, held only at the culmination of every thirteenth harvest, are allowed to carry a shield of champions. These ornate devices are intricately laced with psycho-reactive crystals that reduce the potential energy of incoming attacks, allowing the champion to shrug off blows that would fell even the mightiest of dragons.

Hunting Drake Some fortunate Exodites are able to spirit an unhatched drake egg away from its carefully guarded nest, raising the hatchling as a pet and hunting companion. The primal intelligence and friendly nature of these creatures, coupled with the empathy of the Exodites, allows them to form a strong bond with their owners.

A model carrying a shield of champions has the Feel No Pain (5+) special rule.

A model with a hunting drake gains +1 to both their Initiative value and their Attacks, and counts as being equipped with Assault Grenades when charging into close combat. A hunting drake is too small to be individually targeted, and may not be attacked in any way. It is removed along with its owner.

Exodite Armour Knight Armour

Scaly Hide

The armour worn by Dragon Knights is made of thick armoured plates which are light but tough, with an underweave of psychoreactive material that reacts to the movement of the wearer. This combination provides excellent protection for the wearer, while still allowing a full range of movement.

Many of the beasts of the Exodite worlds are covered in thick, scaly hides that offer nearly as much protection as many types of armour, and are often even better at deflecting the lesser blows of more mundane weaponry and attacks. Scaly Hide confers an Armour Save equal to the number shown in brackets. For example, Scaly Hide (4+) would confer a 4+ Armour Save. Models with Scaly Hide may re-roll all rolls of 1 when making Armour Saves against Wounds with no AP value.

Knight Armour confers a 3+ Armour Save.

Rune Armour Eldar psykers fashion themselves elegant armour decorated wit h runes that offer protection against attacks both spiritual and physical in nature.

Warden Armour The armour worn by Dragonwarders is similar to that of the Dragon Knights, but lighter and more flexible.

Rune Armour grants the wearer a 4+ Invulnerable Save. Warden Armour confers a 4+ Armour Save.

Dragonsongs and Instruments Ballad of the Beast

Hunting Horn

This powerful Dragonsong weaves its way into the minds of the primal beasts that accompany the Exodites to war, instilling them with a greater sense of purpose and duty.

In peaceful times, the loud, blasting call of the hunting horn is the herald of the Great Hunt. During times of war, its call rouses the Exodites and their beasts to hunt their enemies unto death.

Friendly units with the Feral Instincts special rule within 12” 12 ” of a Dragonsinger with the Ballad of the Beast are treated as though they had the Stubborn special rule.

All friendly Exodite units within 12” 12” of a Dragonsinger with a Hunting Horn at the start of the Assault Phase gain the Rage special rule for the duration of that Assault Phase.

Dirge of Foreboding

Prelude of Hope

The Dragonsinger's verses carry with them a sense of dread and terror that are difficult for enemies to ignore.

The lyrics of this Dragonsong remind the Exodites of their heritage and destiny as rightful rulers of their worlds, and the galaxy as a whole.

All enemy units within 12" of at least one Dragonsinger with the Dirge of Foreboding suffer a -1 penalty to their Ld for all Morale Checks, Regroup Tests and Pinning Tests (to a minimum of 2).

All friendly Exodite units within 12” of a Dragonsinger with the Prelude of Hope roll 3D6 and pick any two when taking Morale Checks, Regroup Tests and Pinning Tests. Units with the Feral Instincts special rule are not affected by the Prelude of Hope.

Dragon Harp In the hands of a skilled Dragonsinger, a dragon harp is capable of creating the most pure tones imaginable. The Exodites find the sound of this music very heartening. All friendly Exodite units within 12” of a Dragonsinger with a Dragon Harp may Regroup using a normal Leadership Test even if less than 25% of the unit’s models are still alive. Units with the Feral Instincts special rule are not affected by the Dragon Harp.

War Drum A skilled Dragonsinger is able to beat out a complicated rhythm on the war drum that is capable of confusing lesser beings, while at the same time lending greater coordination to the Exodites. All friendly Exodite units within 12” 12” of a Dragonsinger with a War Drum at the start of the Assault Phase are treated as if they were equipped with Assault Grenades when charging into close combat.

Exodite Vehicle Equipment Ghostwalk Matrix

Power Field

A ghostwalk matrix utilises the knowledge a nd wisdom contained within a spirit stone to guide the vehicle on its path.

Power fields reroute a portion of the vehicle’s energy supply to project a glimmering shield of protection around the vehicle.

A vehicle with this upgrade has the Move Through Cover special rule.

A model with a power field has a 5+ invulnerable save.

Spirit Stones

Holo-fields

Some Eldar vehicles incorporate large spirit stones with a captive animus that can control the vehicle should it be disabled.

Harnessing kinetic energy to shimmer and distort the vehicle’s silhouette, holo-fields prevent the foe from targeting vulnerable areas.

A vehicle with this upgrade ignores Crew Shaken results on a roll of 2+ and Crew Stunned results on a 4+. Roll immediately when the result is suffered.

Provided the vehicle moved in the previous Turn, it gains +1 Cover Save. If it does not already have a Cover Save, it gains a 6+ Cover Save.

SPIRITSINGER DISCIPLINES The mysterious Spiritsingers are able to use music and song to shape and guide their attunement to their world spirits, as well as their own psychic resonance, in order to manifest incredible psychic abilities. They are also able to skillfully weave harmonies sung by their companions into their main themes in order to subtly alter the workings of these powers, allowing them to bring about nearly limitless possibilities in support of their allies and to the detriment of their foes.

MUSICAL STRUCTURE

SPIRITSINGER HARMONIES

The Melodies and Harmonies of the Spiritsingers are based on complex musical structures, highly ordered with strong tempos and specific compositions. Because of their strict order, their effects upon both the warp and realspace are far less attractive to the daemons of chaos than the castings of other mortals.

Harmonies are lesser musical abilities that the Spiritsinger teaches to their companions in order to enhance their already potent Melodies. At the start of a battle, a Spiritsinger may select a number of Harmonies equal to their Mastery Level. You may attempt to add one or more Harmonies to any Melody that has been cast immediately before the Melody is resolved. Harmonies may not be added to a Melody that incurs Perils of the Warp. To add a Harmony to a Melody, choose one Harmony from those that the Spiritsinger knows, and choose one other model in the Spiritsinger's unit to sing the Harmony. The singing model takes a Psychic Test exactly as though they were a Psyker - including the risk of incurring a Perils of the Warp attack upon themselves. (Note that a model which sings a Harmony does not count as a Psyker in any other way!) A character chosen from any source other than Codex: Exodites who has joined the unit may not sing Harmonies.

Spiritsingers and those singing Harmonies only suffer Perils of the Warp on rolls of double 6 unless some special rule would otherwise make them more susceptible to Perils of the Warp.

SPRITSINGER MELODIES To represent the fact that their psychic powers are based on faith in their fallen deities and the singing of complex musical progressions and structures, Exodite Spirit singers do not generate their psychic powers randomly, but are instead allowed to choose which abilities they know. At the start of a battle, a Spiritsinger may a select a number of Melodies equal to their Mastery Level.

If the Psychic Test is passed, the Harmony is added to the Melody, and you may attempt to add further Harmonies to the same Melody using the same process. If the Psychic Test is failed, the Harmony is not added, and you may not attempt to add further Harmonies to the same Melody casting. In the event that the Psychic test is passed but incurs Perils of the Warp, the Harmony is added successfully, but further Melodies may not be attempted.

Melodies are their primary musical abilities, and are used in the same way as normal Psychic Powers. However, it is possible to enhance these Melodies with the Harmonies described below.

The first Harmony you attempt to add to a given Melody casting has no Warp Charge cost. Each additional Harmony attempted for a Melody casting costs 1 Warp Charge, which must be expended by the Spiritsinger who originally cast the Melody. No model may be used to sing more than one Harmony each Turn. No Harmony may be added t o a single Melody casting more than once, but you may use the same Harmony for multiple Melodies during a single Turn provided all other requirements are met. Unless otherwise noted, a Melody and all added Harmonies are treated in all ways as a single power when used.

“Though the birth pangs of She Who Thirsts tore through the heart of the old empire, we blessed chosen few, to whom the maiden granted the gift of foresight through our dreams, were already safely out of reach of her terrible appetite. Praise be to Lileath.” Lileath.” Excerpt from an old Exodite hymn to their goddess of dreams and fortune, known as Lileath. Much is lost in the translation.


Updated 01/03/2014

MELODIES Hymn to Asuryan

Warp Charge 1

The Spiritsinger’s song is loud and pure, calling upon the power of Asuryan, the Phoenix King, to smite the enemy with his wrath. Hymn to Asuryan is a nova power with the following profile: Hymn to Asuryan

Range 6”

Strength 4

AP 4

Type Assault D6, Srikedown

Vehicles and vehicle squadrons are not affected as above. Instead, every vehicle in range of the Hymn suffers a single hit with the Haywire special rule, with no further effects.

Maiden’s Lullaby

Nocturne of Shadow

Warp Charge 1

The Spiritsinger intones a complicated, dreamy and pensive tune that draws on the power of the world spirit to create an area of supernatural darkness about them, blotting out the sun to sow confusion among the enemy and provide concealment to the Dragon Knights as they advance. Nocturne of Shadow is blessing that targets the psyker. Whilst the power is in effect, all enemy units shooting at the psyker or any unit within 6” of the the psyker do so as if the Night Fighting rules are in effect. (i.e. the unit may gain the Stealth or Shrouded special rules, and units more than 36” away may not be targeted.)

Warp Charge 1

Prelude of Fate

Warp Charge 1

Drawing on the power of Lileath, the maiden goddess and dreamer of dreams, the Spiritsinger uses their music to lull the enemy into a sleepy, dream-like state.

This song is intended to invoke the power of Morai-Heg in order to influence the fat e of the Spiritsinger’s allies.

Maiden’s Lullaby is a malediction that targets a single nonvehicle enemy unit within 18”. If the power is manifested, the target must take a Pinning Test on 3D6. This power may even affect units which are normally immune to Pinning, and abilities which allow a unit to automatically pass Pinning or Leadership Tests are ignored.

Prelude of Fate is a blessing that targets a single friendly unit within 12” of the Spiritsinger. If the power is manifested, the affected unit gains 2D6 Fate Counters. Each Fate Counter that is removed allows the unit to re-roll a single die from any To Hit roll, To Wound roll, Armour Save or Leadership Test. Any unused Fate Counters are lost at the start of the next Exodite turn.

HARMONIES Chorus

Dissonance

The Spritsinger is able to expand and project their songs, allowing them to carry further.

The Spiritsinger is able to combine the tones of their music together in a way that is unnerving and painful to other psykers.

This Harmony doubles the range of the Melody it is being added to. Crescendo and Dissonance Harmonies added to the same Melody casting also double their range.

If Dissonance is added to a Melody, all enemy psykers within 6” of the Spiritsinger must immediately take a Leadership Test. If the test is failed, they suffer a Wound which ignores Armour and Cover Saves. Dissonance is treated as a separate power from the Melody it is added to for the purposes of Deny the Witch rolls.

Crescendo The Spiritsinger’s song reaches a powerful climactic moment which inspires confidence in those around them, calling them to stand firm in the face of the enemy.

Refrain The Spiritsinger is able to weave their music together in a repetitive manner, allowing them to invoke their powers in a more potent manner.

If Crescendo is added to a Melody, Melody , any friendly units within 6” which are Falling Back may immediately attempt to Regroup. In addition any friendly units within 6” which have Gone to Ground may take a Leadership Test. If the Test is passed, the unit immediately recovers.

Refrain may only be added to a Melody that has already had at least one other Harmony added to it. The effect of this Harmony is dependent upon which Melody it is added to.

Units that Regroup or recover in this way may do nothing during the current Phase, but may act normally afterward as if they had not previously been Falling Back or Gone to Ground.

When added to Hymn of Asuryan, the nova improves its profile to S5 AP3. When added to the Maiden’s Lullaby, the affected enemy unit suffers a – D3 D3 penalty to their Leadership for the purposes of the Pinning Test. When added to the Nocturne of Shadow, units in range of the power may re-roll any 1’s when making Cover Saves. When added to the P relude of Fate, you may add an additional D6 Fate Counters.

DRAGON KING A Dragon King is the sovereign ruler of an Exodite World. His word is law and the loyalty of his subjects absolute. The Dragon King is ultimately responsible for the safety and prosperity of his people, and it is to him they look for guidance in the face of adversity and strife. When faced with war, most Dragon Kings prefer to lead from the t he front fr ont astride their dragon mount, tr usting in his subjects to follow his example as he rides forth to battle.

When it is time for a new Dragon King to be chosen, he will be elected by the many Barons, Chieftains and Herdwardens from among the ranks of the Dragon Princes. This ensures that only the strongest and noblest of Exodites will be chosen for this honourable and crucial role. The choice is carefully weighed in a council that may stretch into weeks of deliberation and debate. The outcome of these elections is very important, as a Dragon King will retain his position for the remainder of his life. If a corrupt individual were to somehow be elected, removing him from his position would constitute treason and likely precipitate civil war between his supporters and his opposition – something something the Exodites would not risk lightly!

The Dragon King will often carry some of the most precious and ancient equipment available to the Exodites. These will usually be relics brought away from the Eldar homeworlds during the Exodus, and the power they wield can make him an unstoppable force in battle.

UNIT TYPE: Heavy Cavalry (Character)

However, it is only capable of storing enough energy for a single use before needing to be recharged upon an Alter of Vaul - a ritualistic process that takes days. Once per battle, the wearer may negate a single Wound, regardless of the source. This may be done after taking Armour Saves and Feel No Pain rolls, and may be used against attacks that cause Instant Death, those that ignore Armour Saves or other Saves, etc. The Wound is completely negated, as if it never happened, so it does not count for the purposes of Combat Resolution, Force Weapons, Pinning weapons, etc.

WARGEAR Armour of Vaul: A powerful relic from before the time of The Fall, the Armour of Vaul is a potent protection against attack, combining the power of Eldar technology with the strength of the Eldar mind to form a nearly-impenetrable barrier.

The Armour of Vaul confers a 2+ Armour Save, and grants the wearer a 4+ Invulnerable Save. These saves cannot be further improved in any way.

The Relics of Vaul These powerful relics are heirlooms of a forgotten age, brought with the Exodites as they fled their homeworlds seeking solace in the unknown wilderness of space. These artifacts glow with power, increasing in intensity as they are brought closer together.

DRAGON KNIGHTS Eldar Exodites are virtually born into the saddle, with every member of a kindred learning to ride a dragon at a very early age. For the Exodite kindreds, dragons provide transportation, companionship and a considerable advantage in combat. Each dragon knight kindred consists of an extended family group of Eldar who work together in mutual support, both in their agricultural pursuits as well as on the field of battle. The rigors of life on the Exodite worlds ensure that the Eldar who call them home are capable warriors. Through defending their herds, participating in inter-kindred rivalries and engaging e ngaging in ritualistic duels and jousts, the dragon knights hone their skills and sharpen their wits.

More so than even the other kindreds, the dragonwarders share an extremely strong empathic bond with the creatures of their worlds, and some are even able to tame and ride pterosaurs.

To ensure they are prepared, the noble knights spend a good deal of their time training and honing their abilities. As a result, the noble kindreds are amongst the most potent and experienced warriors on an Exodite world.

SUNDERED KNIGHTS A dragon knight shares a strong empathic bond with his dragon mount, making them a formidable team in combat. However, the attachment that grows from such a strong bond can be powerful and deep, and the severing of that bond devastating. It is not uncommon for an Exodite who has lost his dragon in battle to descend into a despairing grief, drifting away from his kindred and seeking an honourable death, worthy of the memory of his fallen companion.

When an Exodite world is threatened by attack or invasion from outsiders, these pitiable loners will band together as if by instinct. They sweep out of the depths of the jungle; aid unlooked for, seeking to drive off the invaders. They desire to spare their brethren from their dismal fate and to protect the peaceful tranquility of their homeworlds. Most of all they wish to lay down their lives in defense of their homes and kin, their honorable sacrifice a fitting memorial.

The Sundered: Those who have been driven to despair by the loss of their dragon mount would do anything to prevent others from sharing their fate.

If at the start of any Assault phase a unit of Sundered Knights is within 12" of a friendly unit of Dragon Knights, Noble Knights, Kindred Guard, Dragonwarders or any Exodite Independent Character, the Sundered Knights gain the Hatred and Rage special rules until the end of that Assault phase. In addition, they must declare a charge if they are able to do so.

RAPTORS Raptors are smaller, more agile cousins of the dragons ridden by the Exodite dragon knights. What they lack in size and strength, they make up for in ferocity and tenacity. Led by their pack leaders, raptors strike quickly a nd with a primitive cunning. Despite their smaller size, a pack of raptors is easily capable of bringing down a large megadon, or even a carnosaur.

DRAKES Drakes are small, winged lizards which inhabit the Exodite worlds. They travel in large groupings known as flights, which provide mutual protection for the tiny creat ures, essential i n such an inhospitable environment. Drake flights can be seen flitting among the jungles and coastlines of the Exodite worlds, hunting and fishing for their food and always moving – the better to avoid the many large beasts that share their worlds.

Though small, drakes are among the more intelligent creatures that inhabit the Exodite worlds. Their flights, invariably led by the fertile female queen, display a level of coordination unrivalled by any other non-sentient creature known to the Eldar. Of the beasts which answer the call of the dragonsingers, the drakes do so the most willingly, and are likely to continue helping their friends even if the dragonsingers are incapacitated.

WARGEAR Fiery Breath: Drakes are capable of breathing small gouts of flame. Alone, an individual drake’s flame is not powerful enough to be considered more than a minor threat. However, entire wings of drakes have been known to work together to burn their targets, using coordinated flight patterns that result in an attack much more dangerous than the sum of its parts.

Each Drake Wing and Queen’s Wing is able to breathe fire, which is treated as a ranged weapon with the profile given below. In addition, Drakes are treated as having Assault Grenades, but only during the Assault Phase.

Loyal: Among the creatures which answer the call of the dragonsingers, none are more reliable than the tiny drakes. They have been known to continue attacking an enemy force even after the Exodites who called them have been slain or driven off. They tend to be even more dedicated in the presence of domesticated members of their own kind.

MEGADON The term megadon refers not to a single species, but to a number of very large creatures that inhabit the Exodite worlds. The smallest megadons are roughly the same size as the standard Imperial Rhino transport, while the largest varieties are more comparable to a superheavy battle tank.

and on other parts for medicines and many other necessities. A megadon herd is regarded as a highly valuable commodity by the Exodites, and they take great care to ensure that no part of a slain megadon goes to waste. When great need arises, the Exodites are known to harness weapon-laden battle platforms to some of the less timid members of their herd. They are then ridden into battle, where their great size strikes fear into the hearts of the opposition, and their thick and durable hides provide them some measure of protection against the devastating weaponry they often face.

The Exodite kindreds guide vast herds of these enormous creatures over their lands, leading them to feeding grounds and protecting them from the various pr edators that t hat stalk the jungles of their verdant worlds.

A megadon may always fire its entire compliment of weapons once per Shooting phase, always counting as stationary. It must, of course, fire all of them at the same enemy target. Spooked: Though large, megadons tend to be easily spooked amongst the cacophony of battle. The Exodites riding a megadon do their best to keep it under control, but sometimes even their empathic guidance is not enough, especially when the megadon is wounded and in pain.

At the end of any Shooting phase in which a megadon has suffered at least one wound, it must take a Morale check in the same manner as a unit which has lost 25% or more of its models. Add the megadon’s remaining wounds to its Leadership value for the purposes of any Morale test it makes (to a maximum of 10). For example, a megadon (Leadership 6) with 3 wounds remaining would have a Leadership value of 9.

CARNOSAUR The carnosaur is among the largest and most dangerous predators commonly found on the Exodite worlds. A full-grown adult may stand between five and ten meters tall. Their mouths are filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, capable of rending the extremely tough hides of the various megadon species. Carnosaurs are naturally very aggressive and territorial, and have been known to attack other carnosaurs, fully armed dragonknight parties and even the occasional great drake.

In the desperation of battle, the Exodites are sometimes able to call upon the dubious aid of a nearby carnosaur, sending it crashing into the ranks of the enemy to sow confusion and fear as it searches hungrily for something edible. The risk here is that, due to the carnosaur’s volatile temperament and limited intelligence, they are very difficult to control. There have been occasions when an Exodite warhost has been caught unawares as a carnosaur turns upon them rather than attacking their foes.

UNIT TYPE: Monstrous Creature

Territorial: Carnosaurs are highly territorial, unwilling to share their chosen hunting grounds. Their natural urge is to chase off or kill any potential competition, especially creatures as large as or larger than themselves.

WAR WALKERS While most Exodites ride dragons when guiding a herd or engaging in battle, some prefer to mount up on tall, graceful and deadly bipedal vehicles known as war walkers. What these machines lack in armour, they make up for with hard-hitting weaponry and manoeuverability. This makes them well suited both to herding dragons and acting as scouts and weapons platforms in battle. However, the pilot of a War Walker is not without protection, for the vehicle is equipped with an array of force fields that blur and distort its outline, making it as least as safe as a fully enclosed vehicle. Often the first thing an enemy will know about the presence of an Exodite force is a ripple in the terrain ahead followed by a blistering firestorm that efficiently eliminates the observer.

Being lightly built, squadrons of War Walkers rely on the use of their ranged weaponry to neutralise threats in order of priority. To aid them in herding dragons, Exodite War Walkers are invariably armed with a Laser Lance, which is backed up by a heavy weapon of some sort. They are quite effective in battle, owing to extremely advanced support systems, including piloting failsafes in the form of spirit stones. It is said that during battle the pilot of a War Walker enters a kind of meditative state. He becomes one with his craft, the machine effortlessly stalking through terrain as its twin weapons scythe through the foe. The sheer rate of fire a full squadron of War Walkers can provide is often enough to obliterate an entire platoon of enemy troops in a single volley.

HARLEQUINS For the warrior dancers of the Harlequins, there is no distinction between art and war. Followers of the cunning deity known as the Laughing God, they are the strangest and most inscrutable of all the Eldar. Their mastery of the physical arts twinned with their incredible speed makes the Harlequins the deadliest fighters of their race. Every moment is a performance, and they perform their legendary masques with puissant skill, flair and passion – passion – their their hallmark upon the field of battle. The Harlequins are not tied to any particular craftworld or Exodite world, but wander from world to world through the interspacial tunnels of the webway. They occasionally grace other Eldar with impressive performances and acrobatic displays, and are even rumoured to visit the cursed Dark Eldar in their twilight city of Commorragh. In these pageants each Harlequin

plays the role of one of the figures from Eldar legend, and they act out stylised versions of Eldar mythic cycles. Harlequins wear exotic multi-coloured costumes at all times, and employ shimmering holo-suits they call dathedi. Similar in function to the holo-fields used by Eldar battle tanks, a holo-suit breaks up the outline of the wearer. Every time the wearer moves his outline explodes into a scintillating cloud of tiny fragments, and when he stops he coalesces into a solid image once again. The Harlequins never show their real faces but conceal them beneath a shift ing mask that can c an assume any image at the will of the wearer. When the followers of the Laughing God go to war, their masks reflect the worst nightmares of those who gaze upon them.

The roles within each performance are always taken by the same players, thus the role of the Laughing God is always played by the Troupe Master himself, whilst that of Fate is played by the Shadowseer, Death by the Death Jester and so on. The majority of the roles are played by the Chorus and the Mimes, who make up the bulk of the Troupe. Having no individual names or identities they have become the players of the Troupe in a quite literal way. For example, Mimes never speak and always wear their expressive shape-shifting masks, never revealing their faces. Only one can play the part of She Who Thirsts – the the silent and reclusive Harlequin known as the Solitaire. His role commands ultimate fear and respect, and also makes him the most dangerous of all Harlequins, for a Solitaire treads the Path of Damnation.

DYANN AL’ATHAR THE GREAT WARRIOR KING Dyann Al’Athar was destined to rule from the very beginning of his life. He was born on the eve of a great battle, during which his wise and revered sire, the Dragon King of Bai’n-Ish, Bai’n -Ish, was slain by the Imperial knight baron Lord Clauditus. With his last words, the King foretold that his son would become a warrior greater and wiser than even himself, and that he should be groomed as his eventual successor. He declared the name of Dyann Al’Athar with his dying breath, which, loosely translated, means “Great Warrior King.”

Soon after ascending to his throne, Al’Athar was put to the test as the knight barons returned to again plunder the herds of Bai’nBai’n Ish. Led by none other than Lord Clauditus, the barons came in such force as had not been seen even in the memory of the oldest members of the nobility. Though faced with a seemingly insurmountable foe, Al’Athar took up his father’s armour and weapons and led his people to war in defense of their world and its spirits. The time had come for him to prove the prophecies of his dying father.

The Eldar of Bai’n-Ish Bai’n-Ish loved their King greatly and, after seeing off the knight barons after a long and bitter struggle, vowed that they would serve no King until the child came of age and could take his rightful place as their sovereign ruler. Such a succession was unheard of among the Exodites, but so great was their love for the old King that none dared to contend for the throne. Dyann Al’Athar was raised among the nobility, schooled in the ways of war as his father wished, and eventually assumed the mantle of Kingship among the people of Bai’n-Ish. Bai’n -Ish.

Though the knight barons were great in number, Al’Athar and his people set upon them in the night, and in three hours of bloodshed and terr ible destruction, t he barons’ knight titans were reduced to rubble and their household guards scattered or slain. Few made their way offworld to tell of the devastation or the wrath of the new King of Bai’n-Ish, Bai’n-Ish, and Clauditus himself met his end at the tip of Al’Athar’s spear after his own knight was brought down. The Great Warrior King had come into his own, and the death of his father was duly avenged.

UROM FÜRTE LIR’K UROM THE BEASTCALMER Lir'Kurom Fürte is the Dragon King of Mai’n-Kurnou. Mai’n-Kurnou. His rise to the Kingship was an unusual one, as he was not raised amongst the Exodite nobility, but rather among the Dragonwarders. Serving as a Dragonsinger of such a kindred, he kept watch over the other kindreds and their herds, protecting them from the many dangers prevalent on their untamed world. After many years of relative peace and prosperity, the world of Mai’n-Kurnou Mai’n-Kurnou fell under the gaze of the Ork Warlord Uzgrubb, who delighted in the chance to despoil the verdant world and subjugate its feral and seemingly primitive population of pointyearned lizard-riders. His Waaagh! struck swiftly and his Orks offered no quarter as they brutally slaughtered the Exodites and their herds alike. Lir’Kurom fought bravely during the initial struggles, but he was separated from his kindred during a battle and left behind, fighting his way through the Ork hordes. He lost his dragon along the way, and though it grieved him deeply, still he fought on, until he was at last alone in the jungle, the Orks having moved on. Unsure of what to do next, Lir’Kurom knelt a t a nearby plinth of wraithbone, an extension of the World Spirit to the surface of the world, and prayed for guidance from his ancestors. As he did so, he heard a mighty roar from somewhere nearby, then saw a massive carnosaur stalking through the trees. It caught sight of him, and turned his way…

Pouring out of the jungle, the massed ranks of dragon knights charged the Ork lines. For a time the Orks wavered, but soon they turned back and threw themselves into the fray with a deafening communal roar. It appeared that the Exodites would find nothing but death on the field of battle this day, and that their world would be lost and the spirits of their ancestors abandoned to the depredations of the Orks, or worse. The Dragon King and all of his kindred guard fell during the battle. When all seemed completely lost a nd hopeless, there came from the nearby jungle a tremendous and terrible sound, a roar so loud it carried over the din of battle and the racket of the Orks. All fell silent, looking toward that sound. Out of the jungle came a huge carnosaur, hurtling towards the Ork lines. On its back rode a tall figure, none other than Lir’Kurom Fürte, who had tamed the beast with his will alone. He carried a long lance which spat white-hot death into the ranks of the Orks, while the great beast upon which he rode smashed them aside, ripped them asunder, or devoured them. Following behind was a great host of various jungle beasts which quickly set upon the Ork hordes. With the arrival of this new enemy, the Orks found a terror they hadn’t known before, and they fell bac k. The Exodites followed, cutting them down in droves. Rallying around the carnosaur and its rider and surrounded by various other creatures, they drove most of the Orks off their world. When the battles were finally over, and the remaining Orks driven into the jungle and scattered, the Exodites made Lir'Kurom Fürte their new Dragon King.

As more and more Orks poured into the battle from the hulks and kruizers in orbit, all seemed lost. The Exodites gathered into one mighty army and prepared to make their final glorious stand.

EL’IYSA ISHMAL THE VOICE OF THE MOTHER El’Iysa Ishmal is said to have been chosen at the time of her birth to be the voice of Isha amongst the Exodites, and beyond to the scattered peoples of the Eldar race. Unlike most of her kind, she has travelled extensively, having visited most of the Exodite worlds, many Craftworlds and Corsair fleets, and – it is whispered – whispered – even even the dreaded city of Commorragh. El’Iysa is highly respected, and even feared, among the Eldar. Her voice is a reminder of what they have lost, but also of their hopes for the future. Her presence among them is a portent of great and terrible events, and even the mightiest Farseers cannot see what lies ahead on her path. Her footsteps are as the coming of doom to those around her, yet she is also a herald of victory, glory and hope for all Eldar.

Wherever she travels, El’Iysa speaks to the Eldar people, telling them of times past, and times yet to come. She reminds them of the dangers of She Who Thirsts, and the perils of slipping back into the time of terror before the Fall. She calls them to arms against enemies who would seek to eradicate the Eldar and supplant their rightful rule of the galaxy, and rides to battle alongside any of her kind willing to fight for the glory of the Eldar and the memory of their long-lost mother. What her ultimate goals may be is unknown, for she speaks only of those things which stir the hearts and move the hands of those around her. That she has some higher purpose for her people is beyond doubt for any who have heard her stirring voice, and they are willing to follow her to whatever end.

The Voice of Isha: In ancient days, Isha walked among her mortal children, the Eldar, and spoke with them in person. Later, she continued to commune with them via the Tears of Isha forged for her by Vaul. Always her voice has been a comfort to the Eldar people. It is said that El’Iysa speaks with the Voice of Isha herself, and her words stir the hearts of the Eldar in a way they cannot truly express.

UNIT TYPE: Heavy Cavalry (Character) PSYKER El’Iysa always has access to all powers from the Melodies and Harmonies Spiritsinger Disciplines.

At the start of each Exodite turn, El’Iysa may choose to speak to a single unit of Dragon Knights, Noble Knights, Kindred Guard or Dragonwarders within 18”, 18”, granting the unit and any attached characters either the Furious Charge or Stubborn special rule until the start of the next Exodite turn. (Note that this may be El’Iysa’s own unit.)

SPECIAL RULES Dragonhide, Independent Character, Jungle Born, Psyker (Mastery 3) Chosen of Isha: El’Iysa has been marked out as the chosen voice of the goddess Isha, and as such benefits from her protection as she draws upon the power of the Warp.

WARGEAR Staff of Sorrows: The Staff of Sorrows is a sacred relic passed down through the ages, always to a specially chosen Spiritsinger. It is said that the blade atop the staff was forged from the very first tear which Isha shed upon learning of her separation from her mortal children, the Eldar race.

El’Iysa is a Spiritsinger and has access to all of the Spiritsinger Melodies and Harmonies. Whenever El’Iysa suffers a Perils of the Warp attack, she may ignore it on a D6 roll of 3+. Enemy of Nurgle: As the goddess Isha is the embodiment of life and fertility to the Exodites, so too does Nurgle represent death, decay and pestilence in all its forms. There are even whispers among some Eldar that Nurgle himself holds the goddess trapped within his twisted realm. If any living Eldar knows the truth of these myths, it is El’Iysa Ishmal. Though she has never spoken aloud on the matter, she nevertheless displays a deep seated hatred of Nurgle and his followers, seeking to destroy them wherever they may be.

Each model removed from play in this way grants the Staff of Sorrows a single stored Warp Charge point, to a maximum of 3 points. Once per turn El’Iysa may draw a single stored Warp Charge point from the Staff and add them to her own Warp Charge total. Warp Charge points stored in the Staff remain in the staff until they are drawn out or El’Iysa is slain.

MEI’NLY KURIM -WE Young Mei’nly was born into the Dem-Gillath Dem -Gillath knight kindred on the world of Kur’Liras. Her father YaYa-nus, the kindred’s Chieftain, was a firm and strict leader who followed the oldest traditions to the letter. This included the outdated tradition forbidding females of the Kur’Liran kindreds from undertaking unde rtaking any roles other than child rearing, which could be traced back many centuries to a time when a plague had nearly wiped out the Exodites of Kur’Liras. This was rather unfortunate for Mei’nly, who at a very young age discovered a distinct aptitude for music and a strong talent for calming the many beasts of her kindred’s herds. It was obvious to all by Ya-nus that the child was destined to be a Dragonsinger, perfectly suited, but he would not yield. After others of the kindred, including includin g Mei’nly’s mother, petitioned Ya-nus to allow her to follower her apparent destiny, he forbid her from ever singing or playing music, and declared that she would be banished from the kindred if she ever attempted to use her beastcalming abilities. Rather than endure such a punishing stifling of her natural gifts, Mei’nly ran away, banishing herself into exile. WS 4

While wandering in the wilderness of Kur’Liras, she came across an entire clutch of unhatched and unattended Drake eggs. Watching the eggs for days d ays without sleeping, Mei’nly guessed that the queen which laid the eggs must have been killed along with her flight, so she determined to see them all safely hatched. After a frantic hatching, with Mei’nly standing in for the drake flight which would normally be in attendance, the little drakes were all hatched and fed safely. Most of them flew off on their own, but a small flight – flight – the the ones who had been nearest Mei’nly during the hatching, stayed with her and adopted her as a surrogate “mother”. Eventually, Eventually, Mei’nly found her way to another, far less hidebound group of Dragon Knights, a kindred known as Beindan. Fay’Lar, the chieftain of her new kindred, petitioned the Dragon King of Kur’Liran to allow them to adopt her as one of their own. Their petition was granted, and after undertaking many years of training she was finally allowed to realize her true potential as a Dragonsinger for her new kindred.

UNIT TYPE: Heavy Cavalry (Character) SPECIAL RULES Dragonhide, Jungle Born Drakesinger: Mei’nly is constantly accompanied by her small flight of drakes, which she has trained well to aid her kindred in their herding duties. In battle, they keep close watch over Mei’nly and her fellows, harrying their opponents with small gouts of flame and raking them with their sharp claws.

Mei’nly counts as a Dragonsinger for the purposes of the Feral Instincts special rule. In addition, as long as Mei’nly Mei’n ly is in play, she and every model in her unit are treated as if they are accompanied by a Hunting Drake as described in the Wargear section. Any Any unit of Drakes within 6” of Mei’nly at the start of the Assault Phase gains the Rage special rule for the remainder of the turn.

EXODITE ARMY LIST The following pages contain an army list that enables you to field an Exodite army and fight battles using the scenarios included in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. It also provides you with the basic information you’ll need in or der to field an Exodite army in scenarios you’ve devised yourself, or that form part of a campaign.

USING THE ARMY LISTS To make a choice, look in the relevant section of the army list and decide what unit you want to have in your army, how many models there will be in it, and which upgrades you want (if any). Remember that you cannot field models that are equipped with weapons or wargear not shown on the model. Once this is done subtract the points value of the unit from your total points, and then go back and make another choice. Continue doing this until you have spent all your points. Then you’re ready to do battle!

The army list is split into five sections. All the squads, creatures, vehicles and characters in the army are placed into one of these depending on their role on the battlefield. Each model is also given a points value, which varies depending on how effective that model is in battle. Before you choose an army, you will need to agree with your opponent upon a scenario and the total number of points each of you will spend. Then you can proceed to pick your army as described.

ARMY LIST ENTRIES Each army list entry consists of the following: Unit Name: The type of unit, which may also show a limitation on the maximum number of choices you can make of that unit type. Page Number: This lists the page number of the unit’s entry in th e Forces of the Exodites section, which may contain wargear, special rules or other information unique to the unit, as well as the unit ’s background information.

USING A FORCE ORGANISATION CHART The army lists are used in conjunction with the force organisation chart from a scenario. Each chart is split into five categories that correspond to the sections in the army list, and each category has one or more boxes. Each box indicates that you may make one choice from that section of the army list, while a dark-toned box means that you must make a choice from that section. Note that unless a model or vehicle forms part of a squad or a squadron, it is a single choice from what is available to your army.

Profile: These are the characteristics of that unit type, including its points cost. Where the unit has different warriors, there may be more than one profile. Unit Type: This shows the unit’s type as described in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. Unit Composition: This shows the number of different types of models in the unit, or the number of models you may take for one choice from the force organisation chart. Often this is a variable amount, in which case it shows the minimum unit size. Wargear: These are the unit’s standard weapons, armour and other equipment. Options: This lists the different weapons and equipment options for the unit and any additional points for taking these options. It may also include an option to upgrade the squad to include one or more characters or other special model types.

an y special rules that apply to the unit. Special Rules: This is where you’ll find any See the Forces of the Exodites section for the details of these rules. Psychic Powers: This is where you will find notes on any Psychic Powers that models in the unit may be able to use.

ALLIES OF THE EXODITES The Exodites may occasionally find themselves fighting alongside other forces when the situation warrants, though this is far less common that many other forces. Battle Brothers: Dark Eldar, Eldar, Eldar Corsairs, Eldar Harlequins Allies of Convenience: Imperial Guard, Tau Desperate Allies Adeptus Mechanicus, Black Templars, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Genestealer Cult, Grey Knights, Necrons, Orks, Space Marines, Space Wolves, Sisters of Battle Come the Apocalypse: Chaos Cult, Chaos Daemons, Chaos Space Marines, Tyranids
