The heart of any Exodite army is always its bands of Dragon Knights (Guardian Jetbikes), and these are often accompanied by Dragontamers (Warlocks) who lend their not-inconsiderable psychic talents to any battle. Many clans also feature a small aerie of Skydrakes (Vypers), and the Knights that ride them, and almost every clan has a number of elite warriors known as Dragon Lords (Shining Spears) that are experts in the use of rare and powerful laser lances.

Rules Note: Every Exodite army must include at least one unit of Fast-Attack Jetbikes, either Guardians or Shining Spears. It just wouldn't be an Exodite army without it!

All Jetbike rules should be used as normal -- but one should at least make an effort to avoid moving through impassable terrain as after all these aren't Jetbikes but rather very fancy cavalry. Knights are assumed to be excellent shots (thus the re-roll for twin-linked shuriken catapults), and capable of hit and run attacks (thus the extra Assault move). Any Jetbikes armed with Shuriken Cannons are assumed to be one of an elite breed of "Dragon" capable of spitting bolts of lightning at the enemy -- their riders will not be armed with a shuriken catapult as they will be assumed to be too busy controlling their comparably more fiery-tempered beast.

All Vyper rules should similarly be used, and all possible vehicle upgrades are allowed, with each being appropriately re-interpreted as inherent to the special skills of the on-board Knight.

This is usually one of the most precious or unusual parts of an Exodite army, featuring either a virtually irreplaceable Grav-Tank (Falcon, Fire Prism) acquired from an allied Craftworld, or the greatest pride and joy of the clan's Dragontamers. Many clans have tamed the herbivorous Tri-horns that are found on many Exodite worlds as beasts of burden, but it takes a special skill to train these giant beasts in the arts of war. Such Tri-horns (Wraithlords) are ridden by either one or two Exodites, who guide the ferocious creature and man the heavy weapons platform carried on its back. As many clans build and maintain scout walkers for use in herding Dragons, by raiding a Clan's surplus of heavy weapons, a few can be readily modified for military use as War Walkers. A few clans have captured and tamed even larger versions of the Landwyrms seen on some worlds, and these Greatwyrms (Support Batteries) are then herded to the battlefield, where they can rain destruction of various kinds onto the enemy. Finally, some clans short on available Dragon mounts even have a small elite of Knight-Sergeant Sharpshooters (Dark Reapers) that have trained in the use of powerful laser long-rifles.

Rules Note: Support Batteries must be accompanied by a Warlock, who does not need to ride a Jetbike. Exodite armies typically include no more than one or two Tank-type vehicles.
