Hi Gary,

I did a bunch of Exodus photos for you and posted the link on EpiComms:

I also own the Mechwarrior stuff you've chosen for the Steggadon and
Kamodo Titan so I can put them on an Epic 60mm titan base and photo them
for you too if you like. I put the Razorfang proxy up against a Great
Gargant for size comparison too....it's a bit taller and much bulkier than
a Mk1 Warlord. Mechwarrior is Battletech in CMG form. The stuff is PVC,
and nominally 1/160th scale rather than 1/285th like classic Battletech.
This makes the infantry perfect for battlesuits and the mechs good for use
as titans :)

Silhouettes - cool. Typos - unavoidable. Seperate Sections - neat.

I was thinking of the Rakkat Riders as being like a large vehicle class
Lizard rather than cavalry class. Slow, carrying a heavy conversion
beamer maybe, rampage option AKA Squiggoth.....something like that. See
the Hellbender in the Exodite list as an example. Those Ketzali are
beautiful minis and it'd be nice to fit them in. How about:

MILITANT ORDERS
The Religious caste maintains their own militia in the form of a number of
militant orders. The warrior monks of each order usually specialise in
one aspect of combat. The militant orders are generally small in number,
but their impact on the battlefield is enhanced by the presence of Psykers
and the high morale provided by their devotion. They are easily
identifiable by their flowing robes and hoods.

Hello Bruce,

Yes the fonts are not to my liking. Still trying to decide which one
to settle on.

Yes I am working on new siloutes. Even the best ones have to be
redone at a better quality. They looked ok on the screen and even on
the print preview but not on the printouts. I have redone some but
haven't had time ti update the files yet.
I will be doing silouets for each type but it is more work than I
originaly thought. I have to do the originals as a large size then
reduce them.

Typos keep creeping in. It seems I am on the keyboard for hours at a
time. I need more breaks. I am formating and piecing the Slann book
together. Waiting on some feedback from the text.

I am putting each race in a seperate section (at least that is my
present goal.) If you have anything on new units or what units to
use for them, write it up and I will look at it. Look at the other
note files for what I have done so far. Exodus cavalry will also be
Dracon cav also. (did you notice that a Dracon was leading the
Exodus Raiders Company originally?) The Stegadon can be used by
Exodus or Dracons. One or two clarifications here and there. A few
grammer corrections ans spelling errors.

Photos? At present I have none! My camera is no good for the real
closeups and while some have been offered, I have recieved none. I
may have a professional do mine but at present I have only Slann and
Necron Infantry. Fixing to order some stuff. Kraytonian vehicles for
Necrons, Bacuss walkers for maybe Raptor riders. DRM dune buggies
look great but a bit expensive for the little guys. I haven't found
anything better though. I see the Exodus tanks (wheeled) as 6
wheeled armored car types.

Not to keen on Ratkat riders but maybe. Thinking Pendragon 10mm
lizard riders. A big problem with most of them for me is that I have
never actually seen any of them. Size matters on some things so
mechs and Titans are a problem. Mech Warriorr is the same as Battle
Tech but larger and in plastic? Size wise I am not even sure of the
Kraytonian tanks? Their may be other options for Necron tanks but
time and money is not on my side.

Gary
