Why haven't I ever seen anyone talking about the Exodite mini-series? Like anywhere.

Im not a huge Tau fan, but I found it very enjoyable anyway. Amazing visuals. I wish there was more of it.

Secretly hoping that GW is timing the release of the Exodite to coincide with the T’au codex launch. I really just want to see the T’au get some love.

The Exodite (quick thoughts)

Oh look, here I am going to give a short quick review for a series most people won’t have heard of because it’s on a subscription service that’s so niche I’m struggling to say it can even stand on a cost/benefit analysis when you include the exclusive miniature that comes with a full year of it that the parent company would charge 80% the annual price for. Which also came alongside the heavy handed threat to content creators that instantly soured everyone on the service, and effectively ended one of the more beloved series because there’s no way it can be legally transposed into an official series.

Anyways for those of you who don’t know about Warhammer+, you’re never going to not hear about it without learning about how controversial it launched. And for those of you wondering if the series that they spent a long time hyping up that they poured money into in order to be one of its flagship titles will justify the subscription, then short answer: no. It’s only 3 episodes long and there isn’t a single subscription service that can survive on one show.

But it’s not a bad show. Hell, if you’re someone who has heard about 40K and especially its aliens and gone “Huh, that sounds interesting. Maybe I would be interested in the franchise it ever focused on those guys. Wow, holy fuck there are a lot of really expensive models for Space Marines and like every book I’ve ever seen for this series looks like it was written for people that consume WW2 fanfiction” then this might actually be for you.

The story follows a squad of Tau, a relatively new species (both in lore and in the franchise) dealing with the fallout from several assassinations that have prompted a full on planetwide and orbital battle over one of their worlds. Specifically, the squad is chasing the assassin, an Aeldari (or space elf), hoping to capture him and expose his crimes to the Imperium to try and end the battle. Interestingly though, the assassin is an Exodite, the aeldari equivalent of the Amish, who is traveling around the battlefield activating several ancient relics. So the squad must drop down into the middle of a warzone to capture a dangerous elf who bypassed the technology of two futuristic empires and escaped unseen by one of them.

And the series manages to entertain beyond just the standard hellish warscapes and tense firefights you’d expect from the franchise, but also manages to understand the idea of grimdark beyond just “oh everyone is miserable and they all commit warcrimes” that so many people fall into the trap of writing. In fact, it understands the Tau and how they represent the concept of grimdark as inevitability or ignorance, in a way I don’t really want to spoil, as it involves a monologue that perfectly encapsulates the potential tragedy of the setting and their role in it.

More than that though, it’s one of the few series with Aeldari in it where it gives them a role other than misery porn, while still tapping into the theme of a fallen empire watching others fight over what was once paradise.

Also Clancy Brown is the titular Exodite and YEP, his voice is still excellent.

I’m hesitant to recommend this entirely to newcomers to the franchise unless you’re the type to immediately look up things on a wiki (and are ready to accept that the two wiki’s for 40k are both nonsensical monster scrawls that need professional editors and collapsible subsections), as the ending is a treat for those who enjoy the other space elf content but can be incredibly confusing on their own.

Still if any of this sounds interesting, I’d recommend looking up the series.
