NGL I Googled Promethean Sun, and had a reaction of disgust when I discovered it was written by Nick Kyme

[@philiphockenbury6563]

And it is the book of where we got Vulkan’s greatest shame. A thing that haunts him for his wrath blinded him. The big time where he failed to live up to his ideals. Something that would make me love him more. If it actually went anywhere and was actually good. It really feels like they wanted to make Vulkan an asshole like everyone else and totally missing the mark on the goal. Just burning an entire planet and turning it into a sun from the volume of fire. Which is a cool thing, and feeds into Vulkan’s flaws. Chief among them being his volatile and volcanic wrath that is endlessly terrifying. It’s just that Vulkan has forgiven far worse offenses. It feels out of character for him to have such an extreme reaction to something so ultimately insignificant. Has the jolly green giant done horrible things? Absolutely. Does a story about how Vulkan snapped at something and does something horrible sound compelling and would be totally in character? Yes. Does Promethean Sun actually go anywhere with this and Vulkan’s character arc and characterization? As far as I am aware of, no. I personally would think that of all the primarchs, Vulkan should be the one who is haunted by his wrath towards the Xenos. And the atrocities that he and his sons have committed against their foes should be something that eats away at him. Vulkan is a kind and caring person who has to learn to cope with and control his fiery rage. But is in a setting that rewards his hatred and anger. I want his character to be explored damn it! I want to see a novel about him coming back but he must go on a lonely odyssey to make right all of his wrongs.

[@vurrunna]

I genuinely think that the Exodites becoming a new 40k army under the lore of Isha returning to her children and leading them on a grand crusade against Chaos is an incredible idea. Exodites would offer a new and unique entry point to 40k, basically giving a semi-fantasy option for AoS players. I also think the Eldar gods returning to 40k is an awesome idea that could really shake up the setting in interesting ways. GW will never do it, of course, because they sold their soul a long time ago, but a boy can dream.

[@KoteDarasuum]

My immediate response on seeing Beastsnagga Orks: "Okay, give us Exodites now you cowards". 2nd edition did have statistics for Exodite Dragon Knights, but they really were pretty much a cheaper substitute for Shining Spears, and I don't think they ever released a model (generally they'd be conversions using Dark Elf Cold One mounts).

Pancreas simping for an "elf" faction. I'm shocked. Shocked. Well, not that shocked.

[@seelcudoom1]

the exodites have a good reason to have an army outside the maiden worlds: the exodites have a "World Guard" of sorts, a group of warriors from many different maiden worlds that use the webway(or friendly craftworlders) to travel, who primarily exist to provide back up forces to any exodite group who may be overwhelmed, or to retake lost maiden worlds, you could even make a cool lore that their primarily formed of Exodites who are survivors of those lost maiden worlds, now dedicated not only to retaking that home but to ensure no others meet the same fate, also going with the Isha idea you could give them some cool relation with the Ynnari, the old god of life and the new god of death

[@elijahherstal776]

You know, if there was more to 40k games than "Kill Team with ten dudes" and "Actual 40k with 2000 points average"- we could see plenty of cool smaller factions like Exodites and others. Making something 'in the middle' is exactly what we need.

In Vulkan’s defense, he was with Konrad Curze at the time. And when he’s around, people are just going to act needlessly violent no matter how out of character it is. And when Vulkan gathered himself after just that, he immediately attacked Curze in not-blind rage.

[@normalin1stofhisname]

The fact that the novel series "Path of the Dark Eldar" has exodites as a key part of the plot for the first 2 books, down to being the key part of a drukhari ritual, which basically fuels the deterioration of the planet and ends with the INCIDENTAL WEAPONISATION OF A WORLD SPIRIT by an incubus to stop a tzeenchtian possessed craft worlder and the entire scene just absolutely slaps. The purest of glorious cheese; true gouda, if you will. Read that series, referencing the world and their society, and was immediately bummed that they had no comparison on the tabletop. Though the smushing of wood elf/eldar/lizardmen I saw when looking into it absolutely dominated my mind for a few months.

[@EngineerOfVaul]

They also do in fact have fire breathing dragon mounts as well. One shows up in the audio drama "The Path Forsaken" by Rob Sanders, fighting against a tyranid invasion. Another series with a lot of exodite is the Carnac campaign, which is 3 short stories of an exodite world being invaded by imotekh's forces. Its honestly mostly a craftworld alaitoc vs the sautekh dynasty afair, but you get to see the exodites too, thought they're mostly busy evacuating the planet to alaitoc. One of the interesting things you learn is that spiritseers are capable of transferring souls from a maiden world to that of a craftworlds infinity circuit, which I thought was pretty cool.

[@squishymusic9723]

Love to see you cover Exodites. Small point, as far as I understand it Exodites can switch lifestyles as much as anyone else. Source, not sure from where, but as I recall it Exodites have bittersweet feelings for Corsairs. Corsairs often trade with them, but their fantastical stories seduce the young Exodites who sneak off to join them for adventure. A lot of the young exodites wide up as Corsairs or like the Outcasts and never return to the simpler life.

[@haikuheroism6495]

I have for a while thought about "hey what if the Tau ran into a maiden world?" How would they interact? Would the Tau try to recruit the exodites? How would the different auxilliaries feel about elves? All that crap. tbh now that I think about it, it could fit into the Overcast Coalition thing I'm writing.

[@MiniFuxy11]

10:20 Imagine how the Eldar will react when they see a world like Catachan, and that a Human population actually thrives in this environment.

[@gbindahouse94]

The idea of Isha's return marking the debut of the Exodites as an army makes me wonder if you could do something concerning the "staying on maidenworld" via Isha. Let's say the Exodites get major units with a special [ISHA] keyword. This [ISHA] keyword that changes the nature of the Exodites in your army, allowing them to play off maidenworlds (and some other fluff like point discounts or buffs to willpower) BUT with a major rule addition, all Exodites in your army vanish if all your [ISHA] keyword units are dead or removed from battle. I imagine that flavour wise, Isha is essentially ferrying the Exodites to battle and is blessing them to give them a better chance against, say, the Ruinous Powers. In return however, if her connection weakens, she instantly pulls the Exodites into a retreat back to their maidenworlds. You could play with this even in mixed Eldar armies by having the Exodites under Isha play like Chaos Daemons. Imagine some Chaos cultist turning around to see a giant, bulked out Eldar covered with scars and moss staring back with "long-pig will make a novel roast" eyes and has little dread for the demonettes that cultist just pulled at the cost of their soul and privates. Balance it out with select units not working with [ISHA] units (maybe Avatar of Khaine or certain Dragons don't meah well with her presense) and you basically have two army formats for Exodites, the maidenworld guardians and the vengeful wrath of a liberated Goddess who has had FAR TOO LONG to learn her enemies up close.

[@marcinzysko1653]

Writers werent really creative when it comes to planet magic. The world itself could be weaponized, not just to repel descending armies, but even fleets in the orbit. -Maybe some sort of volcanic rifts, that can shoot powerfull lightnings into space. -Planetary magic shield seems like one of the most basic defense tools. -Planetary cloacking spell. -Or maybe even go full saxon and have a giant fire dragon, rising from planets core and wrecking ships in space.

[@RedPandaGod01]

Don't many exodites have access to basic Aeldari tech, they would have some guns and even energy weapons, not just bows and "energy bows", I'm pretty sure I have seen art of an exodite dragon knight with a lance thing that shot energy blast or what not also it was said that the exodites of the Ybaric Cluster who were allies of Iyanden brought to Iyanden knowledge long lost to the Asuryani and hey also gave Iyanden like 1000 dragon knights to aid Iyanden in doing the good work or being the only good guys in 40k fighting chaos and helpings those on need. Pont is (Iyanden is the best) exodites are not just sticks and bows they can have some old Aeldari empire tech that varies between groups, and have access to limited Asuryani tech, so you could seen them with Shurken weapons or energy weapons and things like projectile lances and power weapons, as well as you said fire prisms, the different is in use and esthetics, instead of mounting it on a tank they mount them on a dino, instead of riding a jet bike with a sniper like a shroud runner or a laser lance like the shining spears, you could see them riding a dragon with sniper or a laser lance.

[@SymbioteMullet]

I played eldar in 2nd edition. I always wanted to add Exodites to my force, but while i had the rules in the eldar codex, the models were vanishingly rare. I did consider getting a few high elf dragons and converting them (making literal dragon knights), but i didn't really have the budget for that before i stopped playing altogether.

I think instead having Exodites working towards getting Isha out would be better. They find a away where they take a Shard/Cell of her at a time by basically magic so Nurgle doesn't notice it. Give them Avatar of Isha models for them so they can keep the story going for a bit.

Currently reading the infinite and the divine, and all I can think is how bad ass the brachiosaurus with the fortress on his back would be such a good centerpiece

I think the world spirits of the Maiden worlds being connected to Isha is a really obvious improvement GW should embrace. Craftworlds have a fragment of Khaine and Exodites have an avatar of Isha, it seems perfect.

[@bthsr7113]

It IS a perfect idea for the Eldar. That's why GW won't do it.

​@@bthsr7113 Gav Thorpe would not allow even a single win to happen in his books, much less one of this scale. The Eldar are, after all, a dying race.

[@ashardalondragnipurake]

we already know where isha is she would be a fool attaching herself to maiden worlds

[@fumarc4501]

My only issue is that Isha and Cegorach are still whole. The shards of Khaine and the fragments of Ynnead are because they’re not whole. An Avatar of Isha may not work, but maybe a “Gift” or “Tear” of Isha that empowers for a limited amount of time?

[@sulphuric_glue4468]

​@@fumarc4501 A much better idea I think is just freeing Isha completely, which then gives freedom to manifest her power in basically any way. I'd feel a bit bad for Nurgle fans for their guys getting dunked on twice in a row, but with the Emperor setting the garden ablaze, this is the only opportunity I think the Eldar will literally ever have to set free their goddess. They clearly already canonically want to do it as there is an old story about some going into Nurgle's garden to try and find her (though they met with horrible fates). They clearly also have the ability to know that Nurgle is on the back foot and is the weakest he's ever been. There's no reason at all for the Eldar to not get their act together for one desperate attempt to save their mother goddess, I'd be mostly fine with it (although disappointed) even if they failed, they just have to TRY because it's honestly completely character-breaking that they have not tried.

Wow, I didnt know that there was enough Exodite content for a 20 minute video on them to even exist

[@sanuelkessler8435]

Me neither!

[@t_hetty1758]

The fact we can have dinosaurs strapped with sci-fi weapons rode by magic woodland space samurai but just don’t get them is insane. 9 year old me would’ve made my family poor buying them.

[@Bluecho4]

I like the idea of Isha, while caged in Nurgle's garden, breaking off tiny dandelion seed sized bits of her essence and casting them into the galaxy. They either find their way to Exodite Maiden Worlds on their own, or some Exodites have prophetic dreams and go find them. These are returned to the Maiden Worlds and carefully cultivated, over centuries or millennia. Until they grow into an Avatar of Isha, that can join the Exodites in battle. This would also give a good reason why Exodite armies would leave the Maiden Worlds. They need to track down errant seeds of Isha, before they're claimed by someone else and used for nefarious purposes.

[@fumarc4501]

I like this. They’d be very secretive about it too, which might rub some the wrong way but the risk of others finding it first is too great. Especially because Chaos is actively hunting the seeds too.

[@miatamarine1210]

The bit about an Exodite world taking on three legions is from the novella "Promethean Sun" by Nick Kyne, and it's the Salamanders, Iron Hands, and Death Guard.

[@andrewmcnally5013]

Someone in my local group actually has an Exodite army! Completely kitbashed, and plays as a Ynnari army with all the Lance weapons you'd expect. Lots of Lizardmen dinos used as a base, like a Carnosaur with 3 Dark Lances strapped to it and called a Ravager.

[@fumarc4501]

Sounds beautiful to behold.

[@terryalberts5892]

In the son of the forest, the way the lion moved between worlds. Screams to me "This is how the exodites should travel between worlds". And then the dark angle could be the bretonnia and the Exodites woodelfs. But this is just a dream
