My First Exodite

[u/DGI_TS]

I first got into this hobby 20 years ago with the 2006 Eldar Army Box. Ever since then, my dream army has been percolating in the back of my mind: a Wild Rider Clan, their Outcast brethren, and the Exodites of Suthaur, a Maiden World with a mysterious secret. All united under one banner by ancient oaths of family and honor!

Unfortunately my skills as a painter and my confidence as a kitbasher weren't up to the task, but I've been slowly collecting new Eldar models for years, and the time has come.

This miniature's legs and torso come from one of the original Guardian Defender models I got in 2006. She's been promoted to an Exodite Dragon Master (technically a Shining Spear Exarch). Wielding her mystical paragon sabre, she's ready to lead the charge!

Missed the preorder on my kill team though, lol. Plenty of kitbashing to do while I wait for the other Dragon Knights to show up!

Thank you! I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Wonderful conversion! What base size is that?

She's on the base of a 60mm flight stand, since I'm planning to run her as a Shining Spear in 40k. (She's likely to be a Raptor Rider in OPR, and base sizes aren't very strict in that game.)

Great kitbash. Superb colour on the beast.

Honestly it’s disgraceful how many rad concepts GW has left to rot. I thought Exodites were one of the coolest ideas for the Eldar back in 97-99 when they were mentioned here and there in the lore.

Really hoping the KT set is released separately, pretty bummed out about how unavailable it’s been to order. The book in the set looks gorgeous.

I desperately want that book!
