Even though we’re all still recovering from the twists and turns of Angels of Death, there’s already another epic Warhammer 40,000 series on the horizon. Welcome to… The Exodite.
You may remember something about Exodites and T’au when we announced Warhammer Animations all the way back in March. There wasn’t much to go on – no more than a short and mysterious teaser – but there’s now a huge new trailer.
Brace yourselves for a look at what’s to come.
Arriving early next year, The Exodite is going to be a treat for T’au fans. It’s got battleships, battlesuits, T’au ceremonies, Imperial cruisers atomised by superior firepower, you name it.
As their expanding empire brings them into contact with the Imperium, the T’au must take desperate measures to ensure a deadly new war does not consume them. But we have questions.
Just who is the mysterious character in the title? Exodites are an Aeldari faction who abandoned their collapsing empire to go and live in harmony with nature, but what have they got to do with the T’au?
And although the T’au are clearly launching some kind of planetary assault, why are they throwing so much into a precision stealth suit deployment?
We also noticed a few other things – namely, XV15 Stealthsuits, a blast from the past for T’au fans.* There also appears to be some sort of T’au ceremony going on, and a lot of determined warriors surrounded by high-tech gear.
You won’t have long to wait to find out what’s going on, as The Exodite will be Manta-striking into Warhammer TV early in the new year, exclusively on Warhammer+. In the meantime, you can join the hosts of Deep Strike for an in-depth discussion about Hammer and Bolter.
When you’re done with Deep Strike, follow along with this week’s Citadel Colour Masterclass and learn to paint eye-catching glass bottles and phials, as well as the strange and luminous liquids stored within them.
Who do you think the Exodite is, and what business do the T’au have with them? Let us know over on the Warhammer Community Twitter page, and sign up for the newsletter.
* You might remember these maroon beauties from back in the early days of the T’au Empire. Now they prefer the hardier, more mobile XV25 Stealth Battlesuit, which we see worn by our protagonist.
