The Exodites are the Eldar who saw the fall coming first. While the craftworlders are often framed as the original refugees, the Exodites left long before the pleasure cults of the Eldar empire even fully formed—pre-commorragh, pre-Slaanesh, pre-everything. They were the doomsayers, the fanatics, the ones holding up signs about the end of the world while everyone else was having the time of their immortal lives. And they were right. But instead of preserving their old society like the craftworlders tried to do, the Exodites wanted a hard reset. Year zero. They took their ships, fled to the far fringes of the galaxy, and landed on maiden worlds—planets terraformed by the Eldar god Vaul into lush, primordial gardens. And those gardens were full of dinosaurs.

For decades, they were the biggest meme in Warhammer 40k: elves riding dinosaurs in outer space. Now, they finally have a Kill Team box, and we are diving into the lore of the Exodites! Long before the Fall, these puritanical Eldar looked at the absolute degeneracy of their society, packed their bags, and decided to hard-reset their civilization on primordial Maiden Worlds. Bricky and DK discuss the history of these isolationist cousins of the Craftworlders, their deep connection to the World Spirits, and the absolute majesty of physically dominating a massive Carnosaur just to bring it to a gunfight. Plus, we cover the newest lore from the Kill Team box: Fangrippa da Skullbreaka's Beast Snagga Orks invading the sacred Maiden World of Syph.
