Do you use Felinids in your Imperial Guard? How cat-like do

No.

>>44379504
I've never used felinids in anything. Don't really plan on it. I don't mind furries or beastfolk, but I just don't really like felinids for some reason.

>>44379504
Yes.
For target practice.

>>44379552
That's edgy, but I like it.

I have a race that's like lobster shells stretched over panther skeletons. They use their antenna. I wouldn't really call them felinids though.

No
They are mutants and therefore heretics.
Heresy is punishable by death.

>>44380694

Well yes they are actually. That's why they're abhumans and not mutants.

>>44380586
I could see them getting some use in a Dark Heresy game with a Radical Inquisitor. I could see them (or any beastfolk really) making a pretty cool Feral World style tracker.

Thus far no. But I wouldn't be above it.

Making an abhuman-rich army could be pretty interesting though. Combine with ratlings and whatever else can be found in ancient fluff.
Design-wise, something in between. More than simple cat ears, less than khajiit and not entirely pretty either.
Preferred felinid are just subtly -wrong- to the human viewer. They have far too many needly teeth in their mouths, their gait is just s little hunched over and their eyes too large, too alien and...
What I'm saying it they should be off putting to most. If you're a xenophile then it's pretty hot. But to most in and out of universe they're the sort of thing you keep your dick away from.
Which in a way is a shame because they're nice folks, once you get over the accent and the near raw meat they managed to scavenge up... Somehow. On the ork battlefield. Maybe you shouldn't ask. But yeah, nice people, and brutal on the battlefield. Often lazy off of it though without incentives. Have a tendency to hero-worship Inquisitors for deciding not to exterminatus them and want to live up to the expectations of the Imperium.

So yeah, that's my felinids. Haven't got any felinid images so have a Guardsman.

No it's not. All thats said is that they're native too that planet only. No mention of any kinda of quarantine or lockdown. Even beastmen which that fluff peice specifically mentions are the most persecuted of the abhumans are still able to travel around most of the imperium.

I feel like they'd be something between TOR version Cathar/TES Ohmes-Raht to just catgirls.

I feel like if they're too feline, the Imperium would have NEVER accepted them in a million years.

As far as having them in my imperial guard... Some time back I asked around about how such an army would play. Given Felinids are supposed to be good at stealth and speed, it was figured they'd be hit-and-runners and ambushers.

So it sounds like it might be cool, but a bit tricky to get the hang of since I imagine you'd have to basically win as soon as possible in the game or they'd get stomped.

They do. Planets can sometimes have both abhuman and regular human populations and would contribute both too the tithe. Besides that its usual practice to just take understrength regiments after a particular conflict is over and mash them together into a new full sized hybrid measurement.

Yes, one figure in carapace armor with cat ears and a tail, taller and lankier than the rest of the squad. Basically Dark Age genetic modifications that make them look like the Puma twins, but an entire subspecies.

Straight out furry, plus mutations. Deformed skulls and limbs, underdeveloped organs, somewhat damaged mental capacities, generally quite disgusting to any human, even to most of the heretical folk.

They are mutants and that's it. Their heritage makes them unable to properly function in a human society, and barely capable to live with themselves. Whatever useful is left within them can sometimes be scavenged by Inquisition or Imperial Army (Guard is way above such material).

And sometimes, these deranged people can prove that even a fucked up parody of a human is not to be messed with. It can potentially end up in awesome territory, Deddog-style.

>U wot m8
Having served in a polyethnic army of a polyethnic country - having people of different nationalities together is bad. Period. In squads, in companies, in battalions - the minority gets fucked hard for any smallest reasons possible and for no reason is there is none, and therefore absolutely lacks any morale. And if there is no clear minority - congratulations! Your unit now fights itself more than it does duty.

Really, the only way to keep such a wild mix is to keep slavs/gooks/gogi as far apart as possible, if they are in one battalion - put the companies as far away from each other as possible. And NEVER have mixed companies and below. No road around that. Army is not the place where good things happen, and IG is largely portrayed like the modern armies. Ratlings need their own units or they will soon feel the Divine Human Form of boots going deep down their assholes.

Yes, but the word Mutant has a more specific meaning in 40k.

>And abhumans are portrayed as anything but stable.
Literally the opposite of what is actually true. The definition of abhumans is that their mutations are stable. They don't match the definition of ordinary humanity, but they don't develop further mutations at a rate that is significantly higher than ordinary humans.

I think one of the Mantic merc packs for Deadzone (?) has a catman, I might buy/use him for an =I= acolyte but I dunno, they don't appear to have formed regiments and, as such, don't really belong in an IG army per se.

They can be in a ... eehh... how do you translate it? In Russian, we have Otdel'naya Razved-rota. Eeeeh, a "Separate Scouting Company"? A small unit that is kept in the regiment reserves and used by regiment HQ for it's own intel purposes, or given to lower guys when they need something snooped.

They are not mixing with anyone, and commanders here like to build them from Caucasus/Mongoloid nationalities - they are usually capable, but start all sorts of trouble when you put them together with slavs.

Since we're operating on crossed definitions, I think a quick primer is in order.

A Mutant is an individual deviation from the human norm. They are typically unstable and do not pass their traits onward.

An abhuman is a community deviation from the human norm. They are stable and breed true. This is why they are spared extermination by the Imperium.

Ogryn are always huge, strong and stupid
Ratlngs are always tiny and twisted
Felinids are always cat people.

Unless they've specifically been noted to be damaged in a certain capacity, they match human traits within the range of attribute bonuses.

>>44384381
Also a fair point.

Fantasies about being allowed to execute braindead subordinates is half the reason I'm into 40k.

>>44384368
I believe Cadians or Kriegers would have no problems serving together with ratlings or felinids, but then again you could replenish a suffered Cadian company with Monster Mosume dakimakuras and the guys would treat those with all the proper respect no question asked.

But Cadians and Kriegers are just drops in the sea of IG. Drop those catgirls to chem-dogs, and, well, you'll need new catgirls really soon.

This confirms quite a bit of my beliefs about the Russian military.

Millennia of indoctrination to instill specific belief include: "Kill the mutant".

If you think I'm being thick about difference between mutants and abhumans - try explaining it to your usual Guardsman.

>>44379504
Felinids are one of the kinds of mutant that are restricted to their homeworld. They're not allowed off, even in the Guard.

>>44384477
And if their commissar says, "Work with this giant, idiotic brute that looks even less human than Cat-Ear Bill", you'd think they'd listen.

They're soldiers that die in droves, fighting the forces of gods and terrible monsters. They have more important things to worry about than philosophizing over what the definition of "mutant" is.

I dunno man, they're less mutated than Ogryns. I guess the Imperium is just creeped out by animal features, even if it's just ears/tails. They, of course, have no idea about Fenrisians basically mutating into dogs/half-dogs and taking all the negative traits from that animal and none of the good. Else they'd, well, no way in hell they could planet-lock the Space Wolves at this point.

>This confirms quite a bit of my beliefs about the Russian military.
Leon Trotsky envisioned the Red Army with a very clear place for political officers, tasked with the duty of overseeing morale and beliefs of troops and officers in their unit, and armed with a plenty of reach and power to do it. Soviet Army kept the Red Army's core, and we just changed labels when the Union fell. Our manuals and regulations still have a ton of lines written personally by Trotsky and they are pretty good ones - dude really had his shit together about how things should work in the army.

Dropping commissars/politruks just because "oh but it's Stalinism and we're going all Khruschev's Thaw" or "oh but we're not commies anymore" was a bad idea. Their lack really feels here.

They're not, not really. It's just that the Imperium bars abhuman from getting planets destined for pure humans. Ogryn can't leave outside of consription either I believe.
Squats get/got a free pass because reasons. I guess because they already had multiple world's and dedicated trade and travel between them so the Imperium just said "oh forget it then. Just ask permission first."

Squats live in environments humans can't handle well, most of the time, and already had a big network, and in first contact put up enough of a fight that full subjugating them would have been far, far too costly when a common sense treaty would work. One of the few times logic prevailed in 40k.

Good question. Well, since they're rip off fantasy races, they probably do that on undiscovered home worlds in uncharted space.

Also there is little to no information on how Imperial or non-Imperial abhuman worlds function on any level anyway so anything is possible.

As for Felinids being only found on one planet, worlds where Orgyns or Ratlings have evolved independently are all over the galaxy. Who is to say that there aren't any undiscovered Felenid planets out there?

>>44384653
I guess they're sort of abhuman+? Not mere confined-to-homeworld but still not glorious-imperial-citizen master race.
An interesting possible precedent for other abhumans in lore terms.

>>44384684
They're called paradise worlds.

They are specifically mentioned being quarantined to a single world, which makes sense because they are abhumans. Even if they were super soldiers on par with space marines the Imperium still probably wouldn't let them serve, just like they don't colonize planets with Ogryn.

>>44384952

>Troths, Felinids, and Neandors are endemic, and restricted to the worlds of Verdant, Carlos McConnell, and Hyannoth IV respectively.
So felinids are limited to a single world (Carlos McConnell) which they cannot leave

>>44385091
Except they also pay the tithe in fighters.

They cannot leave except under official Imperial business, such as serving in the Guard. Makes sense for the term restriction. Don't want them spreading to pure planets. But there's a use for them that prohibits just killing them all and taking the planet.

>>44385222
Neither of you understand tithes. And no, not every planet supplies fighting units to the imperial guard.

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Tithe_Grade

>>44385196
Psykers are a part of the larger tithe anon. Where do you think Hive worlds get their food from? Tithed from agri-worlds. A "Tithe" is pretty much anything the Imperium can use from a planet, be it crops, metal ore, soldiers, etc. I'd give a citation, but everyone already knows this anon.

>>44385062
I have spent the last 10 minutes making as many WH40K cat puns as I can:

- The official church of the Felinids is the the Adeptus Meownistorum
- Mechanicus soldiers are called the Skittyarii
- Felinids fly around in Marauder Clawses
- Those who hunt down the forces of chaos are part of the Ordo Mewlleus
- Their battlefield tactics are kept in the Codex Catstartes

Anybody can think of anymore?

Not every world fields imperial guard regiments. Some worlds just build shit or grow plants.

>>44385436
Fighter tithes are common, though, and whenever you run into a planet that's entire point of interest is their people (Cadia, Catachan, Krieg) they usually pay the tithe in fighters.

No reason that Dougal would be exempt.

We had a Felinid once in my Only War game. It generally sucked because the player himself was a moron, plus it made no sense for the setting or our regiment (Vostroyan Firstborn)

I should have shot him when I had the chance like I did with the pskyer that botched a mission because he was always pushing his powers like an autist

>>44385470
>and whenever you run into a planet that's entire point of interest is their people (Cadia, Catachan, Krieg) they usually pay the tithe in fighters
People, yes. Restricted abhumans no.

And before you say anything, Ogryn and Ratlings are a strain of humanity present all throughout the galaxy, rather than just one planet.

Why do people playing psykers always gotta fucking push? Powers are nice, but not when a rape daemon materializes.

Players in my Rogue Trader campaign like going around and collecting all sorts of abhumans and minor xenos and stuff so I thought "Hey, why don't I just use the Koronus Bestiary xenos generator and throw some stats together."

Might have gone and fucked up and made them too over powered, but oh well I hate retconing things. Hopefully the players won't notice. How bad did I screw up /tg/?

>>44385535
>And before you say anything, Ogryn and Ratlings are a strain of humanity present all throughout the galaxy, rather than just one planet.

And their genetic trait is sought after because they provide a tactical and military advantage.

What would felinids bring? other than cute sex toys for the soldiers?
I'm sure there would be sanctioned whore houses on all planets and I'm sure the only reason to bring felinids to a planet would be to raise morale for the more perverted legions.

Wow that sounds pretty hairy.

We really don't know what Felinids would bring.

Maybe they're all as fast and wiry as the Eldar, with super-advanced catlike reflexes and a penchant for close-combat murder.

Maybe they're jungle specialists, able to climb trees and their thick layer of fur protects them from casual jungle predators.

Maybe their piss can be used as a natural Chaos repellent.

They could be anything in a game of imagination. Squats are apparently not being used despite being fucking space dwarves with some of the toughest tech while being tough as hell, entirely because GW hasn't bothered putting rules out for them - They're mentioned in the same breath as Felinids, so we can presumably put just as many special features on both races.

Another thing you all are missing is that felinid literally means hairy. So it's nothing more than a planet full of ppl with werewolf syndrome.

Wouldn't Lamia be assumed to be Slaaneshi?

I can't remember the full list of adhumans, but there are bird-humans and mermaids and shit.

It is a real shame they're not used. Felinids would make great Elysians (always land on feet!) and scouts (good eye-sight and hearing) and night-time terror troops (good eye-sight in dark and the screams they make when cats fight is blood curdling).

I remember /tg/ did several go overs with rules. I always liked the idea they have 2 CCW's default with Shred due to claws.

Shame GW/FW is more concerned with safe profits like Tau and HH than with cool shit. I mean, if they could solve problems by going "Felinids are used in IG" then we could make conversions. If Beastmen are used as cannonfodder, then I don't see why IG can't use Felinids or any other specialist.

>>44384384
There are also groups of inbetweeners. Stuff like the Scalies, who while they have a set of common traits that are relatively stable, also have a very high rate of mutation that prevents them from comfortably being called abhuman.

Snakes and Slaanesh don't really have a big connection. How many Slaanesh daemons have snake bodies? 1?
Official models I think it's only 1 metal/failshit model, in the fluff I think Fulgrim got a snake body and since he was possessed by a Slaaneshi daemon and later fell to Slaanesh is the reason ppl say snakes are Slaaneshi... phew... lots of Slaanesh in that.

Mermaids and Lamia have allot in common in the loss of legs, then again it all depends on what type of mermaids we are talking about.
Furry or Dangerously Furry type deal.

Felinids having Shred wouldn't make much sense unless they used claw weapons and I don't mean their own fingernails.
A combat blade is better than long fingernails, and again it depends on if they grow claws (problem using rifles or needing custom rifles for their physiology).

Only thing I'd give them is Night Vision and count as being I4 when fighting models with I3 or lower. Count as always having 6+ cover save or perhaps move through cover.

I can see the Valtarian regiment has "poorly provisioned" regimental drawback.

Munitorium Adept: "Our supplies are stretched too thin. We can't spare anymore materials on the newly mustered regiments. Especially not on some lousy Abhumans."

>Only sent flak helm, boots and coat for armor.

>LATER

Salient Commander: "That's odd. Morale in warzone epsilon has skyrocketed since the new reinforcements arrived. Curious."

>>44386293
Nah, it's actually based on the latin word. GW uses latin for almost everything and the literal translation of felinid is hairy.

It's a plant of hairy humans, nothing more.

So if they were called Hairies instead of Felinids would you assume they are catgirls or hairy monkeys?

People only thing catgirls because feline and felinid has a few similar letters.

>>44386335

Again, stop being so butthurt there might be catgirls in 40k, and that people don't accept your headcanon as law. You need to stop being authoritarian.

Once had one on our ship as engineer. Crafty lil' bastard. Excellent tracker in ground missions, literally abel to smell out heretics. Said anyone not following the Emporer just smelled wrong. Had a long name so we just called him Skippy.

Said with his people there would be only one male born for every 100 females. Asked him why he would ever leave his people then. Sounds like a great deal to me. Answered he really liked tinkering with stuff and felt it was his duty to the Emporer to serve in the inquisition. If he stayed with his kin he would have been forced to mate every day. Chicks are the ones in charge with his people. Can you believe it? I mean that he traded such a life for serving the inquisition. Not that there is anything wrong with doing that, mind you.

>>44386335
Since when does GW know anything about Latin?

Ordo in 40k means Office. But it doesn't in real life. So why are you appealing to definition here?

This amount of mad is hilarious. Sexy catgirls aren't in 40k. Because even if Felinids were catpeople, they're still in 40k. Where everything is terrible and everything is turned up to 11. There is no sexy anything. The closest you get are the above mentioned Eldar and they're "unnatural" and wrong in their sexiness. In the grim darkness of the far future, there are only whyboners.

>>44386685
Pretty sure the reason Eldar sexiness is 'disgusting' to them is because they're getting a boner for filthy Xeno, not because Eldar are innately creepy.

i don't think they're the mad ones here, because they're just mocking the common argument of 'b-but that's just your headcanon!'
the only way this argument could possibly be resolved is if a big name at GW stepped up and confirmed just what felinids are, and even then there's the possibility of somebody else contradicting them further down the line because >GW.
arguing over it is dumb and so far has been based entirely on even dumber semantics based purely off of whether GW actually intended the 'hairy people' definition or not (and with their current track record, it's pretty obvious that nobody there actually fucking researches their shit beforehand - remember how IG tanks have front armor thinner than WW1 tanks, for one?)

and in the end, none of it even matters because both sides will continue doing their thing - the catgirl side will keep enjoying their catgirls with lasguns, the werewolf syndrome people will keep, uh, doing whatever they do.
the people who take it way too far on both sides will still be faggots

>>44386713
To a good Imperial, being a Xeno is innately creepy.

>>44386902
>remember how IG tanks have front armor thinner than WW1 tanks

I've been curious about this. I've seen the Leman Russ vs Abrahams comparison.

Has GW stated how good 1inch of plasteel protects vs our steel?

A lasgun is said to be as powerful as a .50 cal rifle and they can't even hurt the most basic of vehicles on the tabletop.

Pretty much only Tanks are "immune" to .50 cal armourpiercing rounds. Jeeps, Trucks, APC get torn to shreds.

So could one assume a Rhino has similar protection to a main battle tank in todays world?

>>44386999

Eh, all that is just another part of SCFI writers having no sense of scale when writing.

Shit like a single regiment of a few thousand people being able to subjugate a hive world with 12 billion people happens a lot in GW writing. Railguns and lascannons can kill near anything, but then bounce harmlessly off thin Leman Russ armor.

Shit doesn't make sense because of bad writing. All GW literally had to do was write the armor up as a bit thicker than modern armor and say it was all made of advanced fictional metal, but they didn't. This is why I choose to ignore that chunk of the fluff as I can't even suspend my disbelief for it.

>>44387077
Their best bet would have been to never give hard numbers.

>>44386999
GW have never given RHAe figures for plasteel.
Though you can estimate its roughly 10 times as good as our steel. A russes battle cannon is comparable to a modern tanks gun and has comparable ammunition(though with scifi changes like admantium penetrators). A russ with a battlecannon is about as effective against another russ as say an abrams vs an abrams. So the 150mm plasteel armour on a russ is at least as good as the abrams compoaite which is rated too 1600mm RHAe IIRC for HE rounds.

>>44387206
I thought it was stared somewhere that autocannons were comparable to modern tank guns?

>>44386801
Good to see they're still drawing anyway!

>>44387213
Nah, they're based of the same concept, but they had a couple thousands of years to improve materials and execution.

Basically, a 21st century human could easily operate most 40k weapons, but they're different enough. For instance, stubbers and autoguns have widespread access to caseless ammo, something we haven't managed to implement on a large scale successfully (yet).

>>44387268
But then it makes less sense that the Leman Russ battle cannon would be comparable, being more destructive than an autocannon.

>>44387213
Yes. And the battlecannon is an autocannom that's 100mm+.
Regular autocannons are 40-50mm tank guns.

>>44387387
What modern tank uses 40-50mm guns? They went bigger than that in the 40s. Those are cannons we can find on things like the Bradley, but not a proper tank.

>>44387434
No wait, the Bradley has a 25mm. My mistake. My point still stands.

So are human ones.

>>44386335

This is quite simply not true. You might be thinking of the fact that the canon information says they're "Homo sapien hirsutus" (note the use of actual Latin word for "hairy").
Felinid does not just have "a few similar letters" to feline, no matter how hard you push your head canon; it is literally Latin for "descended from cats".
And "felinus" (or rather, the word it descends from, files/feles) is used to refer to cats (specifically wild ones) in the earliest Latin citations yet discovered, and has no relation to any words regarding hair or fur.

>>44384139
>>44384215

since they are from the old fluff, they will probably be cat-barbarian /amazons with hairmetal-manes.

Im totally with this.

>>44385578
what is stopping them from using real weapons? You could simply use them as proxy for sneaky units. like Cat-Achans

>>44384197

Like a Ratling/Ogryn cross. Horrifying.

>>44387434
The alvis scorpion and scimitar light tanks have 76mm and 30mm guns respectively.

But really the idea that an imperial man portable gun is equivalent to a modern tanks 120mm gun is absurd. The fluff says the work the same as modern tank guns not that they're equivalent.

>>44386335
>People only thing catgirls because feline and felinid has a few similar letters
That and its pretty clearly butchered latin. Felinid means cat like canid means dog.

I used to play 40k and I had my own version of penal legion that I called xeno legion where I put all kind of xenos. My home made back story was that some xeno wanted to be a part of the empire but the only way to do so was to give their lives away in the xeno legion.

I never understood how xeno works, rattlings and ogryns are OK in army but some other species are not?

>44388018
Ratlings and Ogryns are genetically human, they have just adapted to the world's they live on. They are divergent from the standard human for but are still human. Xeno are completely alien, and so they must be purged.

>>44388035
Cool, I didn't know.
where do you draw the line to mutant?

>>44387213
I think that's back when predators had Blast on their cannon. But don't remember ever reading it in any official source. Probably in the same category as "russ is a tractor" and "baneblade was a light tank".

>>44387387
Russ battle cannon is 120mm according to the lore.

Autocannon size varies.

>>44388074
Stability. Ogryns and ratlings, along with a lot of abhumans are stable mutations. Mutants are wild and varied among a population.

Welcome to Infinity.

>>44384024
I will take the time to point out exception to the rule. In cases where the population has had enough time for the ethnicities and cultures to diffuse and merge, different ethnicities can work well together. Ireland is a perfect example. Irish blood is a mish-mash of Celt, Nordic, Franc, Spaniard, and more recently, Slavics. And all of these feed into our army, and our peacekeepers. We're more famous for the latter, being some of the best at said profession. The point is, there is an exception, when the differences are no longer observed, or are so commonplace for the region of origin, that they aren't considered to be outside the norm. Like cat features on the guy from your planet, when your neighbour had a tail and miau'd.

>>44388792
Oh, one question though. Is it DKK or Steel Legion?

>>44379504

Never have, probably never will.

I've heard they're a thing, but I figured they must be pretty rare, and presumably they can't make it above basic trooper ranks (no idea if Ogryns or Ratlings can, but I doubt it, being abhumans?).

I doubt they've got any interesting fluff, and I don't want to go looking because it's liable to be cringy as fuck.

And in any case, if I used them in Only War, then it'd just be a gimmick and detract from the game.

I'd use them if I could be bothered to actually spend time making them properly. 40k is already supposed to be dumb and fun, so I don't care what people put in their armies.
If I actually managed to upset some of the spergs I sometimes play with by using Felinids, then it would only be a bonus.

>>44388840
I do not know enough about 40k to know the difference in their costumes.

But I think the request was only along the lines of "Someone draw krieger felinid cat-girl", so basically death korps.

>I will take the time to point out exception to the rule. In cases where the population has had enough time for the ethnicities and cultures to diffuse and merge, different ethnicities can work well together
They are barely different ethnicities at this point. Belorussians, kubanians and slavic jews mix alright, since despite coming from thousands miles away, you can barely tell them apart even by speech. A mongoloid or a felinid - now that's an entirely other situation.
>Ireland is a perfect example. Irish blood is a mish-mash of Celt, Nordic, Franc, Spaniard
Can you tell if an Irish is of Celtic or Nordic origin without asking him about it?

>Like cat features on the guy from your planet, when your neighbour had a tail and miau'd.
But felinids have their own planet and are kept there all to themselves. Plus Imperial Dogma goes really hard on abnormalities, so human society would take felinids like, say, US under a perpetual Reagan would take niggers. "Yeah yeah you are a citizen too, alright. Now get the fuck outta our neighborhood before we stick your head up your own ass. We don't welcome your kind here"
