THEWARHAMMER40,000GAME
To play an Exodite army in the universe of the
41st millenium you need the Warhammer 40,000
rulebook. If you want to use the Exodite Army to
full effect you also need Codex: Eldar, because
some Exodite troops are available in this codex
but their rules are not written out due to
copyright reasons. This codex is a fanwork and
you will need your opponent’s agreement to play
an Exodite army by the rules in this codex. If
your opponent does not agree on using this
book, there is a short guide on how to use your
miniatures built for use with this codex by the
rules of Codex: Eldar.
WHYCOLLECTANEXODITEARMY?
Exodites are a fast and close combat heavy
force with little, but powerful fire support and the
for the Eldar race typical mighty psykers
enhance their troops’ effectivity even further. The
whole army can be compiled of Troops mounted
on different kinds of creatures ranging from
agressive beasts to huge, even more aggressive
beasts.
The downside of the Exodite army is that their
troops are low in numbers and can only rely on
sporadic fire support.
If you like armies consisting mostly of cavalry
formations, the feeling of a savage tribe
combined with the highly advanced technology
of the eldar or simply are interested in reptiles or
dinosaurs, Exodites are an excellent choice for
you. You can also convert your army with other
creatures as mounts, you can use whatever you
see fit to customize your army to match your
taste.

HOWTHISBOOKWORKS
The codex is split into four main sections that
deal with different aspects of the Exodites:
The Exodites
The first section gives you a close look at the
Eldar of the Maiden Worlds. The society, culture,
history and methods of warfare.
Exodite Armies
In the second section every character, troop type
and creature in the Exodite army is listed. Each
unit is examined with a detailed description and
special rules as well as unique equipment are
explained here.
Exodite Army List
The third section contains the complete Exodite
army list categorizing Exodite units into HQ,
Elites, Troops, Fast Attack and Heavy Support.
Here you can pick your units and find their point
costs to field an army of Exodites. It also
contains a short guide on how to play your
Exodite army by the rules of Codex: Eldar if an
opponent does not agree on using this book.
The Exodite Warhost
The last section will contain pictures of Exodite
conversions and guides how to build or paint
them and what models you can use to create the
individual Exodite units. This section is soon to
come.
FINDOUTMORE
While Codex: Exodites contains enough
information to build and field an Exodite Warhost
there is more to learn about the possibilities
open for your arms. For inspriation, more

 EXODITEARMIES
This section of the codex details the units of the
Exodite army, their special rules and wargear.
Each entry gives a description of the unit and
details the unit’s rules to use them in your games
of Warhammer 40,000. Each entry is broken up
into several categories:
Special Rules: These are rules that apply to the
unit individually and make the unit indivdual.
These rules always apply to that unit.
Wargear: Many Exodite units have individual
wargear detailed in their entry. These items are
only used by Exodites and most of them are
exclusive to the unit they are listed with. Some of
this wargear is automatically included in that unit
while other items are optional, this is detailed in
the army list in the next section of the codex.

EXODITESPECIALRULES:
Some Exodite units have special rules common
to many units.
These rules are listed here:
Exodites: Exodites are savage compared to
most other races of the 41st millennium. They
live in the wilderness of the Maiden World they
made their home and know it better than
anyone else. They know how to use their
surroundings to their advantage and are trained
at passing through the thickest undergrowth
easily. To represent this every unit with the
Exodites special rule adheres the universal
special rule Move Through Cover. Exodites
mounted on Pterosaurs instead gain the Skilled
Rider special rule.
As long as an Exodite unit is located in terrain
or cover designated as woodland or something
similar (such as jungle or swamps), it benefits
from the Stealth universal special rule.

The unit or units moved this way may not leave

Megadon Rider: Some of the more wealthy and

eccentric Exodite Lords prefer larger mounts
than others. A Megadon Lord rides a Megadon
that changes the Lord’s unit type to Monstrous
creature. The Megadon Lord gains the Furious

The Seer concentrates on the future to foresee
the enemy’s attacks. Choose an Exodite unit

Hunting Blades: Each Wild Hunter is armed

with a pair of poisoned swords or knives called
Hunting Blades. For the hunt these blades are
only covered in a tranquilizing poison to bring
animals down with and either tame them or kill
them with a clean knife to prevent contamination
of the flesh, for the battle they are covered in

weapons effectively. Cobra’s Teeth count as a

Dances: In combat Bladedancers perform

elusive dances to confuse their opponents and
deal out devastating strikes. Bladedancers are
almost permanently in motion and change their
dance style for different effects. Because the
carefully choreographed dances would be
disturbed by anyone not proficient at them, the
unit may not be joined by independent
characters. Bladedancers receive a 4+
invulnerable save against attacks in close
combat. At the beginning of each assault phase
you may pick one of the following dances for the
Bladedancer unit. The dance stays in effect until
the next assault phase starts. You may not pick
the same dance on two consecutive turns:
Hawk’s Talons: The Bladedancers use wide
swings to deliver precise and powerful strikes
against their opponents’ weak spots. The
Bladedancers’ attacks count as rending attacks.
Hail of Blades: Extremely fast movements and
complicated manoeuvres grant the Bladedancers
+1 attack each.
Whirling Tempest: The Bladedancers move in
unpredictable patterns making them hard to hit.
Models directing attacks toward the Bladedancer
unit lose one attack in each assault phase.
Dragon Claws: The Bladedancers sink their
blades deep into their opponents’ flesh. The
Bladedancers add +2 to the result of their rolls to
wound.

Whistling Storm: The blade dance teaches the

dancers to move with unnatural swiftness.
Bladedancers can run relentlessly without being
stopped or hindered in any way. Bladedancers
ignore difficult terrain when moving. Further,
when a Bladedancer unit is running it is always
treated as having rolled the highest possible
distance. This means they always run up to 6
inches.

EXODITEMOUNTS
Exodites employ various animals as cavalry mounts to charge to battle on. Traditionally the animals
used are some form of large reptiles or dinosaurs, but not every maiden world is ihabited by these
creatures. An Exodite army may as well use animals of different kinds. Instead of Pterosaurs they
might use large birds, or sabertooth cats instead of Dragons and a more slender kind of cat for
Raptors. Instead of a Megadon a kind of Mammoth might be employed. In this codex the animals used
as 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.

Dragon
The most popular of Exodite mounts is known as
Dragon. A fast but resilient bipedal, carnivorous
reptile. These creatures have a thick hide that
can even protect them from small caliber gunfire.
Most mounted Exodite troops are mounted on
Dragons, which not only carry them into combat
swiftly but also deliver attacks with their claws
and teeth, effectively increasing the rider’s
efficiency in close combat. The Dragon mount
confers a +1 bonus to the rider’s strength,
toughness, attack and armour save values and
changes its unit type to cavalry. Attacks using a
fusion spear, laser- or shock lance do not gain
the strength bonus from the dragon mount.
Attacks using a weapon multiplying the wielders
strength add the dragon’s strength bonus after
the base strength value has been multiplied.
Pterosaur
Pterosaurs are flying reptiles that are employed
for their sheer speed and mobility. A pterosaur
does not have any valuable abilities for close-up
combat, but it can traverse great distances and
hindering terrain easily through the air and evade
enemy fire with nimble manoeuvres. Pterosaurs
are usually used for close range firefights, where
the riders dash forward to hail the enemy with fire
and then retreat into cover before enemy troops
can return fire. The Pterosaur mount changes
the rider’s unit type to Eldar-Jetbike. A model
mounted on a Pterosaur does not recieve the
bonus to toughness bikes usually grant and is
not allowed to use the turbo boost special rule.
Raptor
Raptors are of similar build as Dragons, though
lighter and even faster. They are not as tough as
Dragons but make up for this disadvantage with
wild agility. Raptors being more nimble than
Dragons are commonly used by Scout troops for
quick and silent manoeuvres. The Raptor mount
confers a +1 bonus to the rider’s weapon skill
and initiative values, adds +2 to the rider’s
attacks and changes its unit type to cavalry.

 EXODITEARMYLIST
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
order to field an Exodite army in using Codex
Eldar without any unofficial rules.
The army list is split into five sections. All the
squads, creatures, and characters in the army
are placed into one of these depending upon
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 below.
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 squadron, it is a single
choice from what is available to your army.
INSERT SAMPLE FOC
19
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!
ARMY LIST ENTRIES
Each army list entry consists of the following:
Unit Name: The type of unit, which may also
showa limitation on the maximum number of
choices you can make of that unit type.
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 size: This shows the number 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 and maximum unit size.
Wargear: This is the unit's standard wargear.
Where models in a unit possess different
equipment, this will be noted. Where equipment
is noted as 'All' every model comes equipped
with it in addition to any additional equipment
they may be described as having.
Special Rules: This is where you'll find any
special rules that apply to the unit. See the
Forces of the Cult section for the details of these
rules.
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 a character.

Little if any explanation at all is needed here.

Both Dragon Militia and Wind Knights have the
exact weaponry at their disposal to represent
Guardian Jetbike rules. Like with the Exodite
Lord the Jetbike will represent the Dragon

when passing over can be explained by the
Exodites knowing their homeworld have no

The wraithlord is a large, tough monstrous

Missing additions
With these quite limited choices it’s not always
easy to put together an effective battle force.
Since there are Eldar Craftworlds that are
working closely together with Exodites, such as
Saim-Hann and Biel Tan, you can use regular
Eldar units in your counts-as Exodite force with
the explanation that these are allied forces from
a Craftworld. The most commonly needed units
will be transports such as Serpents or
specialized striking units, like Fire Prism tanks or
Fire Dragons. You could also make conversions
if you can think up an Exodite equivalent to the
Eldar Unit you need. For example a large winged
creature such as a Warhammer dragon with the
respective weaponry could represent an Eldar
grav tank or a herd of slamanders for Fire
Dragons.
