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.

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.

Bladedancers receive a 4+invulnerable save against attacks in closecombat. At the beginning of each assault phase

you 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.

This means they always run up to 6inches.

EXODITEMILITIA

Like all Eldar Exodites suffer from a decreasingpopulation and their armed forces are low in

numbers. In times of war civilians are recruitedor volunteer to fight with the Exodite Warhost.These militia support the Lords troops eitherwith heavy fire or by attacking and tying enemiesin close combat. Militia is deployed in largesquads including a few Eldar armed with specialweapons suiting their designated role in thebattlefield.

Most units use heavy weapons, often eithermounted on a primitive grav platform or even on

the back of a large animal because the weaponsare often too large to carry by hand. AssaultMilitia however prefer light special weapons todecimate the enemy with before assaulting.Militia squads are often accompanied by aShaman who uses the world spirits psychicenergy to heal squad members.

Wether a playermodels their militia with their heavy weapons inhand or on a weapon mount, is entirely up tothat players decision. If the weapon is mounted,the weapon mount may be placed on a 40mmbase and the model equipped with the weaponshould either be placed on the same base or beclearly designated as the firer. For all purposesthe weapon mount model is counted as themilitia armed with the weapon and lines of sightare always drawn from and to the weaponmount. The militia designated as the firer, if on aseparate base is treated as a wholly decorativemodel and should simply be moved to one sideif it is in the way.

DRAGONMILITIA

Almost all Exodites are skilled at riding dragons,some Militia who in their civilian life work a lotwith Dragons, such as Dragon herders orcaravan traders, will form cavalry units if they arecalled to arms. These light cavalry units areknown as Dragon Militia.

Dragon Militia are fielded equally as ranged fireand close combat units. Thanks to their mountsand their ranged weaponry Dragon Militia areeffective in both combat styles. They mostcommonly decimate opponents in a hail of firebefore assaulting and taking the rest of them outwith blades, claws and teeth.

MEGADON

Megadons are considered the most fearsomecreatures the Exodites offer by many of their

enemies. They are usually not very intelligentand thus very easy to herd with a few wellplaced laser lance shocks. Exodites keep herdsof Megadons for various reasons: as beasts ofburden, food supply, source for clothing materialand sometimes as warbeasts.Megadons can have different variations. Most ofthem are either large predatory creatures thatmove with a remarkable agility or hornedbehemoths that when galopping can rush

forward and crash into enemy lines with analmost unstoppable force.

Generally megadons can be described as large,monstrous reptiles that are mounted by one ortwo Exodites who lead the creature to battle andfire heavy weapons mounted on the howdah onits back.Usually a Megadon keeps charging forward whileits riders deliver covering fire until it can breakinto the enemy lines and impale enemy troopswith its horns, crush them under its feet orferociously tear them apart with its claws andteeth.

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.

EXODITEMOUNTSExodites 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 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.

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 boostspecial 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.

EXODITEARMYLIST

The following pages contain an army list that

enables you to field an Exodite army and fightbattles using the scenarios included in theWarhammer 40,000 rulebook. It also provides

you with the basic information you'll need inorder to field an Exodite army in using CodexEldar without any unofficial rules.

The army list is split into five sections. All the

squads, creatures, and characters in the armyare placed into one of these depending upontheir role on the battlefield. Each model is also

given a points value, which varies depending onhow effective that model is in battle. Before you

choose an army, you will need to agree with youropponent upon a scenario and the total numberof 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. Eachchart is split into five categories that correspondto the sections in the army list, and each

category has one or more boxes. Each boxindicates that you may make one choice from

that section of the army list, while a dark-tonedbox means that you must make a choice fromthat section. Note that unless a model or vehicle

forms part of a squad or squadron, it is a singlechoice from what is available to your army.

INSERT SAMPLE FOC

USING THE ARMY LISTS

To make a choice, look in the relevant section ofthe army list and decide what unit you want tohave 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 areequipped with weapons or wargear not shown onthe model. Once this is done subtract the points

value of the unit from your total points, and thengo back and make another choice. Continuedoing this until you have spent all your points.

Then you're ready to do battle!

ARMY LIST ENTRIESEach army list entry consists of the following:

Unit Name: The type of unit, which may also

showa limitation on the maximum number ofchoices 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 oneprofile.

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 itshows the minimum and maximum unit size.

Wargear: This is the unit's standard wargear.

Where models in a unit possess differentequipment, this will be noted. Where equipment

is noted as 'All' every model comes equippedwith it in addition to any additional equipment

they may be described as having.

Special Rules: This is where you'll find anyspecial rules that apply to the unit. See theForces of the Cult section for the details of theserules.

Options: This lists the different weapons and

equipment options for the unit and any additionalpoints for taking these options. It may also

include an option to upgrade the squad toinclude a character.

COUSINSOFTHEELDAR

Not always will your opponents agree on using

fanwork rules or house rules, as they are usuallycalled, such as this codex. Also you might wantto play at tournaments at which house rules arenever permitted, except for possible house ruleswritten by the tournament organizers. In thesesituations your Exodite miniatures might seemuseless, but in fact they are not at all. All youneed is Codex: Eldar, the following guide and abrief explanation to your opponent.

If you are not allowed to play by the rules of thiscodex you can still play a so called count-asarmy. This means using an existing officialcodex to represent a different army or individual

units. In this case you use the rules of certainEldar units to represent your Exodites. Thefollowing list gives you a guide on how topossibly represent your Exodite army withCodex: 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 thingto do is that you explain to your opponent whichmodel uses which rules.

HQExodite Lord Autarch

The Autarch makes an excellent choice torepresent your Exodite Lord. The Autarchsoptions make it possible to represent your Lordin any combination. A fusion gun and a laserlance in combination with a jetbike for examplewould represent a Lord on dragon with a fusionspear. And even the Master Strategist specialrule makes an excellent replacement for theGuerilla Tactics special rule.

Megadon Lord Avatar

The Avatar is a base no Exodite count-as armyshould miss. The eldar army list does not containmany non-vehicle units with monstrous statistics.If you have a Megadon Lord, the Avatar is thebest choice to represent him. If your MegadonLord is armed with a fusion spear, you evenhave something to explain the screaming blade.

Exodite Seer Farseer

The Exodite Seer and the Eldar Farseer arealmost identical in statistics and even carryextremely similar equipment. The psychicpowers available are similar too. Improve for

example could be replaced by Doom andExecutionerwould be Mind War.

Shaman Warlock

Your Shamans can be represented by warlockswith conceal as a replacement for their healingpowers. Similar to Shamans Warlocks can beadded to many different troops.

ELITESBladedancers Banshees

Banshees are quick, acrobatic and have a lot ofspecial rules and wargear making them suitableto represent your Bladedancers. Their powerweapons can be explained as a part of their

dance that lets them hit enemies with unnaturalprecision and strike their armours weak spots.The Exarch powers provide with wonderfulspecial rules to describe Bladedancer dances.

Wild Hunters Striking Scorpions

Wild hunters are a bit of a different units thanStriking Scorpions but there are certaincharacteristics they have in common. Both arean infiltrating close combat unit, and have acomparatively high armor save. So the WildHunters dragonhide cloaks represent the 3+armour save and the strength bonus from

scorpion chainswords would be the equivalentfor the poisoned hunting blades. Dont worryabout the missing shuriken pistols, the cloaks arebig enough to hide a set of pistols and youropponents will hardly mind about them.

Harlequins Harlequins

Harlequins are directly chosen from Codex Eldarand thus are no problem to use in a counts-asarmy.

TROOPSMilitia Guardians

Little if any explanation at all is needed here.Militia have all the options to represent aguardian or storm guardian squad.

Dragon Militia/Wind KnightsGuardian Jetbikes

Both Dragon Militia and Wind Knights have theexact weaponry at their disposal to representGuardian Jetbike rules. Like with the ExoditeLord the Jetbike will represent the Dragonmounts. The fact that a jetbike ignores terrainwhen passing over can be explained by theExodites knowing their homeworld have noproblems in tight terrain. In case of Wind Knightsthe pterosaur can represent a jetbike without anyproblems of explanation.

Rangers Rangers

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

FASTATTACKDragoons/Dragon Knights Shining Spears

Shining spears are basically the high techversion of Dragon Knights. As before the Dragonmounts represent Jetbikes and laser lances arethe same equipment in both armies.

Terrorwings VypersMany players dislike the idea of using the rulesof a vehicle for a creature, but it is an acceptablestretch. Vypers are fast, flying weapon platforms,basically the same as a Terrorwing. To makesure your terrorwing can be used as a Vyperwithout any opponent minding about lackingWYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get),you can convert your Terrorwing rider with a pairof Shuriken Catapults or Lasblasters.

HEAVYSUPPORTMegadon Wraithlord

The wraithlord is a large, tough monstrouscreature that can be equipped with heavyweapons. It is basically the same as a Megadon,

except its a lot tougher and stronger, but alsomore expensive. Your Megadon can represent awraithlord with the respective weaponry. Amegadon glaive would be a wraithsword in thatcase.

RARE EXODITE UNITS AND ALLIESFROMAMONGTHESTARSMissing additions

With these quite limited choices its not always

easy to put together an effective battle force.Since there are Eldar Craftworlds that areworking closely together with Exodites, such asSaim-Hann and Biel Tan, you can use regularEldar units in your counts-as Exodite force withthe explanation that these are allied forces froma Craftworld. The most commonly needed unitswill be transports such as Serpents orspecialized striking units, like Fire Prism tanks orFire Dragons. You could also make conversionsif you can think up an Exodite equivalent to theEldar Unit you need. For example a large wingedcreature such as a Warhammer dragon with therespective weaponry could represent an Eldargrav tank or a herd of slamanders for FireDragons.
