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 Pterosaur
