MEGADON

Megadons are massive, stocky herbivorous reptiles. Exodites are using these species because of the relative high intelligence of the animals. The Megadon responds to simple commands from handlers in a howdah on the creature’s back. The military applications of such an beast are obvious, and in combat they make excellent mobile heavy weapon platforms, combining long range artillery capability with fearsome close combat ability. One problem with the Megadon is that they are just animals, and if they get badly hurt or alarmed, they will not always react as the handlers may wish.

Megadon	55	3	3	6	6	4	1	2	10	4+

One Megadon and three riders in a howdah. Two of them are equipped with a Lasblaster or Psychic Carbine. The third operates the heavy weapon.

Weapons: Each Megadon rider is armed with a Lasblaster or Psychic Carbine for no additional cost. The Megadon must be armed with one of the following:

• Starcannon for 35 pts,
• Scatter Laser for 25pts or
• Bright Lance for 35 pts.

Options: For +10pts the Megadon may be equipped with additional Wraithbone armour plates. The armour gives the Megadon and its riders a 3+ save.

Special Rules

Slow to React: The Megadon never falls back and passes all Leadership test automatically. It cannot be pinned and never falls back, even if it would automatically do so. The Megadon can move 6” and assault 6”. All movement must be straight ahead and the creature may only make a single pivot of up to 45° at the end of its normal move. It may only assault if the enemy it is to assault is directly ahead. It cannot perform a sweeping advance.
Stable platform: The Megadon crew can fire any number of weapons wether moving or not.
Monstrous creature: The Megadon is a huge and fearsome opponent. It is treated as a monstrous creature and therefore rolls 2D6 for armour penetration and ignores opponents armour saves in close combat.

0-1 EXO-SUIT

Exo-Suits are used by Exodite Barons both for herding dragons and to joust with one another. For this reason they are designed to allow weapons to be mounted on and fired from them. He suit encases its wearer in a wraithbone structure resembling a Dreadnought, though usually more slender and taller even than the Eldar Wraithlord.

Special Rules

Exo-Suit lance attachment: This is a unique weapon found only on Exo-Suits. All the rules from the laser lance apply. The Exo-Suit lance attachment has the following improved profile:
Rng: n/a S: 7 AP: 5 Assault 1
Fast: Exo-Suits move 9” in the movement phase and can make an assault move of up to 9”. When rolling for distance moved through difficult terrain, add + 3” to the highest roll. It also rolls 3D6 for fall back and pursuit distances. May fire one heavy weapon in the shooting phase wether moving or not. Note that the lance attachment may be fired in addition in the assault phase.
