Working on some writefaggotry about a bunch of abhumans. Got some squats, ratlings, ogryns, psykers, and navigators. No felinids, I'm not really sure how to write them.

I like featuring abhumans and mutants when I can, and coming up with new ones if possible. If anyone has any originals of their own, I'd like to hear about them.

honestly, they piss me off. They attract the wrong kind of people to 40k rpgs

>>44393025
And pray tell, what kind of people are the right kind of people for 40K?

>>44393040
the average neckbeard

Small children who can bug their parents into buying a handful of miniatures, get bored assembling, then never play the game.

I feel like animal+human stuff is too specific to happen without warp taint or biotech heresy so no, unless I want a campaign with these things, I don't include abhumans.

Regular, ill-fated mutant abhumans do occur often when we play DH; they make great underhivers. Last time the party went on relic hunting, they found a tribe of blind, disfigured humans living in pitch blackness who orientated with some stunted psy-sense.
The psyker thought it would be interesting to bring them back to the main hive but the Sister remembered to "kill the mutant" and ignited the entire village after they found the relic.

Do you take questions? When are we getting new SoB?

i'm not saying people cant make light hearted and funny 40k games, I've played some great games that are more lighthearted. That being said, I find more often then not people who play abhumans are just too silly and annoy me greatly.

Squats a shit

>>44393025
I'm trying to find some eloquent way to agree with this guy, but I think I'll just be honest, if I wanted unironic neko cat people in my 40k, I'd want xenophobic grizzled devoid of morality commisars unironically in media involving cute neko catgirls or whatever.

Like in my head, it's just one tiny, tiny step towards people being able to justify chakats in 40k.

>>44393254
But catgirls are nothing like the monstrosities you tricked me into googling, you monster.

>>44393218
Unlikely for the foreseeable future, does not appeal to the target audience. Who knows, maybe Forgeworld will take over the line once they're done with 30k. So 2020 by the earliest.

>>44391445
lol no they're literally humans, friend. Try to know what you're debating before you jump in, k?
Also humans are animals anyway.

Are you sure? Apart from the fact they are both humanoid feline in some way? I mean as I say they aren't the same and I recognize slippery slope is fallacy, hell if someone brings a cat eared human and the character isn't shit I won't say no to them, but in my head there will always be a bunch of people going "hmm, now I can finally be a cute cat girl in 40k! Hey maybe I could be extra felinid and have cat paws and claws and a tail too!" because people are shit.

>felinids

;_; you were too young Friendo

>>44393369
I'm pretty sure there's no significant overlap between the groups.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong but I'd like to imagine that our perspectives on this are based on personal perspective.

Is that Inquisitor Olivia Wilde?
please say yes

Anyway, I've always thought about coming up with my own abhumans, but there's really not much use or room for them, you know? Squats, Ogryn, and Ratlings are all based on WHFB races, plus they all have a particular use in the Imperium that adds to their continued existence (psykers and navigators being necessary to the inquisition, ogryn being awesome shock troopers although stupid, ratlings being great snipers and saboteurs, squats being expert sappers and operators on hazardous worlds and in subterranean combat, etc). The only thing I could think of off the top of my head for new ones would be something water-based. So you'd get merfolk mutants who can support Imperial operations on water worlds.

Our campaign has had several abhuman regiments that our regiment has encountered. We played through the "Final Testament" campaign where the Luggnum Sewer rats were replaced with a Squat Engineering regiment, and the Talarn were replaced with a Felinid scouting/black ops regiment. (Not catgirls, but creepy felines who can stand bipedal or run on all four with murdercat personalities...)

Our regiment is basically a US Stryker Brigade Combat Team. The idea being "What if Earth is actually a lost Imperial World, rediscovered a generation or two ago." The regiment is the first tithe to the Munitorum from the world, new to Imperial Cult, unaccustomed to the screwed up 40k world. Autoguns instead of lasguns, constant harassment from the Inquisition, etc.

I tried out playing a Feral Worlder Shark-Man arch-militant in RT stuck inside a obscure Survival Suit, making lots of fish references, like Guppies, calling Psykers zappers, and the like. too bad he didn't last for too long because the Noble-bright RT was a whiny SOB that didn't want to play
