Considering that ultimately Exodites are just a bunch elf 'farmers' and will consequently
be the only party of their species to survive the "doom" that befalls them we know
diddly-squat other than this.

I took the concept a step further.

It all started with Billy, that would be the black eyed former Dire Avenger threatening
you to amscray or get a handful of concentrated and precise shots in sensitive areas.
Originally I thought of Billy as nothing more than a humorous redneck elf, but thanks
to Annie, Proto and even Sok's influence he evolved to be the leader and guardian of
his little community. Next to him would be 'Coon, that's his son.
(The names came about from watching 'Where the Red Fern Grows'...and the fact that it's a 'deep South' reference X3)

The Serpent Shaman was a later addition, Eldar are very spiritual and snakes are
the all-knowing guardians of wisdom in their lore. Aztec influence ala Quetzalcoatl
ought to be obvious.

Underneath a crazy idea struck me to bring botanist and musician together, hey why not? Since
their trees are made out of silver and multicolored glass they can grow through different means.

Next to that is the Disciple of Kurnous, these guys are in charge of getting the food together
to be shipped to the Craftworlds, this one in particular is a Kon-Mith (birdie) trainer.
Temperamental, but efficient hunters.

Now being that these 'outsider Eldar' don't follow a 'path' I figure they might have
plenty of leisure time for courtship or raising their family in peace.
The 'Riders' are mostly used for defense from predators and basic threats
rather than assaults to control more territory(I wouldn't put it past them tho).

Well here's my concepts/sketches/whateverthehellyouwannacallthis
Hope you enjoy them.
Kudos to Gav Thorpe for being awesome and dropping little hints on the lives
of Exodites, Annie for helping me with developing Billy, Protocol for providing
me with reference photos and Sok for inspiration (the botanist/musician came about thanks to you).
