Is it true that Felinid abhumans can join the Imperial Guard

>>53737386
No

To all of that

Low hanging bait op

Outside of fanfic material they can't.
Depending on how you read the one entry about them they seem to be restricted to the one world they are endemic to. Nothing more than that has ever been mentioned beyond their taxonomic name being hirsutis. Anymore than that is entirely headcanon.

Unless you already knew this and are just fishing.

None of that is true.

Although it would be nice.
As long as they kept them 10% catgirls.

>>53737386
No. Abhumans are not eligible for such positions of responsibility.
Whilst one may rise to a position of trust, such as becoming a Throne Agent, the fact of their deviation from the perfection of the human norm is enough to prohibit them from higher office.

Pretty sure they can join the IG no? Wasn't that how they were originally introduced into the fluff?

>>53737386
Probably just some bait being slung here, but I love these guys enough to bump a thread for them since we'll never see them on the table top. Felinids are extremely unlikely to actually be able to join the IG, let alone do anything else. At best, they'd likely be able to join up with the PDF, but considering how little we have to go on even that would be a gross assumption.

>>53737553
Nope. They were just a thing that GW had snuck into the lore due to a contest winner who liked him some chinese catgirls with huge hair, which is why there has been literally nothing done with them since.

I remember one article being published way back about Abhuman Guard regiments. I think there were Nightsiders, like partially blind Abhumans with elevated other senses. And Ratlings and Ogryns are kinds of Abhumans.

I feel like there's no special restriction on Abhumans in the Guard, albeit in their own regiments and probably not Imperium-wide.

>>53737577
Wait, they had a contest and the winner added catgirls?

With the massive catgirl boner 40k fans seem to have, I'm surprised no 3rd party bit maker has made catgirl heads yet.

>>53737609
They are fielded as auxiliaries ie specialized tertiary forces at best for some fringe regiments or cannon fodder at worst.

Most IG forces use no abhumans at all and the ones they use are selected for stability and purpose. The abhumans in WD represent the ones used by the IG in its entirety and this was after Felinids were even a thing. So no, they are not part of those selected for tithe or conscription.

>>53737553
The thing about the IG is that they have near no quality control.

They deploy serial rapists and killers, ogre with the mental faculties of retarded children, thieving hobbit cook snipers that run black markets in secret, tribesmen who barely understand how guns work that also prefer fighting things vastly physically superior to them in close quarters combat, and shell shocked veterans that have been fighting orks for so long they think they are orks.

The portion of me that's skeptical of what their useability in the Imperium's war machine is based on the fact that we don't know what exactly the restricted portion of their lore means. It might mean their population is on heavy watch for chaos shenanigans, or just that they're not allowed to leave the planet period. Until we know that, we can't definitively say if they could be let out onto the battlefield.

>>53737634
Yep. GeeDubs got bamboozled and now there's a planet full of big haired catgirls riding around on motorcycles all throughout Carlos McConnell's surface and we don't get to see any of it.

IG? Yes, they've got two arms, two legs, two eyes and can die for the emperor. They're qualified. Odds are they're going to die as a guardsman, but there's always the chance they rank up.

Commissars? Unlikely, their recruiting pool is exclusively orphans of war. A local commissariat may recruit Felinids, but like all local commissars, they are 2nd class to the Imperial brand.

SOB? Hard no. An anomaly is possible, but strictly speaking, even a Felinid taken in with the Ecclesiarchy would be unlikely to be called to the order militant.

Preachers? Possible.

Arbitrators? Completely feasible, but they would likely find themselves unpromotable. Local arbitrator orders would be more likely to permit the abhuman.

Scribes? Are you literate? Can you write quickly and accurately? How do you feel about twelve hour shifts? Welcome aboard, here's your pen, your parchment and your blister guard.

There is no qualification of being a High Lord that would make a Felnid impossible to be one, beyond the obvious political disability of "Is an abhuman", which makes it unlikely for them to rise anywhere near that level.

Abhumans are accepted for the utilities they provide. Ogryn are appreciated as shock troopers. Ratlings are useful as snipers. Felnids are decent scouts.

In setting, they have the same mark of distain as any other abhuman; They are only more acceptable because their mutation is not always aesthetically disturbing, and this is more an issue of social cloaking rather than actual greater acceptance.

Catgirls are treated like shit in the Imperium by proper imperial citizens Anon. They only escape the same way anyone in the Imperium rises above their station: Exceptionalism.

The only abhumans that get away with it are Navigators, and only because they're irreplaceable to the point of being given their own category simply to pretend they're not highly deviant genomes.

>>53741353

40k started as the Wargame off the cover of metal albums.

There's no canon, there's no purity, there's no bible, no death of the author.

In the grim dark of the 41st millennium, there is only war.

And catgirls.

>>53741387

I'm talking more about how when people try to make arguments for something based on existing literature, not framing it as being their interpretation.

The Felinids aren't even a big deal in that regard, I'm talking more about stuff like smug neckbeards posting about how Khorne has been dumbed down and how he used to be more complex. This is in complete contrast to Khorne being mostly described the same through numerous books, bar Adeptus Titanicus attaching martial honor to him. From that neckbeards looking for something to get mad over constructed the idea that Khorne actually cares about what you kill, despite everything about him stating that he does not and only cares that bloodshed occurs.

>>53741386

Doesn't have to be that aggressive. It's as simple as ensuring no viable population can congregate.

That's roughly 200 by the way. It's trivial to manage emigration to prevent that from happening.

Which, because it's 40k, means there's clearly a population of Felnids in the Calixis sector, a regressive colony overlooked in Segmentum Solar, a band of hereteks raiding small shipping across the sector and a rogue trader who discretely advertises to planetary governors that, for reasonable terms on trade, he can throw in a visit from "The Stray Cat", which is definitely just a passenger barge, even though the ship's roll states it has disembarked no passengers for two years and 80% of the cabins hold female abhumans.

>>53741417

That's just an issue of differing priorities. It matters a bunch to Chaos players that their faction is deep and complex because they don't want to told they're just edgy.

There is nothing that stops you from having your CSM act in a certain manner or have certain beliefs. There is however something of a problem when you actively try to push the idea that Khorne would get upset if one of his followers killed a bunch of defenseless civilians when almost everything written about him states that just isn't the case.

Again, it's fine if you want that to be your warband's schtick and belief, but don't be trying to argue that the lore somehow supports Khorne being against killing people who can't defend themselves.

In the last IG codex, they did state there was a felinoid abhuman species whose genes were stable. So you could potentially have some in an IG army, but I would maybe put them in a scout squad (with las-cannon laser pointers for precision guiding).

Infinity has a catgirl model that is in the right size for IG. I have one somewhere around here but I cant seem to find it, but here is a picture from their site. Daktari doctor. I have one as the medic for my Elysian Drop troops command squad.

considering felinoid humanoids tend to be depicted as being taller than standard humans (like Outlaw Star, final fantasy11 and 14 with the mithra, among others) it works. But I do agree if you plan on making them en-mass it would be better to greenstuff. the Daktari are more for one off characters, not whole regiments.

Do most people ITT realise the Felinids have like, literally no fluff beyond the fact that they exist, are used by the IG sometimes, and are endemic to a specific planet?

The whole idea that they are sexy cat girls is likely wrong since hirsute means hairy, meaning if nothing else these are furries not just girls with cat ears. Honestly they are probably just like Tabaxi from DnD, furry people who are lithe and graceful.

>>53747759
>Called homo sapiens hirsutus
>Not furry
Are you retarded? Do you not know what words mean?

Felinids are the more human variation, with a max level of "Thundercats" level of furriness, and I can prove it.

Felinids are classified as abhumans, therefore, their appearance is sufficiently human enough to be seen as such. They are abhumans and not mutants, so their genetic deviation is within acceptable parameters to even the Ecclesiarchy. Witnessed examples of abhumans are Ogryns, Squats, and Ratlings, all of which look like humans.

Secondly, the planet of Felinid origin is "Carlos McConnell", which was named after the Rogue Trader who discovered it (aka the guy who won the contest). Rogue Traders are powerful, wealthy individuals whose power comes from reputation as much as it does money. A Rogue Trader naming a planet full of abhumans after himself would be odd, unless the abhumans were attractive in some manner. In the xenophobia-ridden galaxy of 40k, the Felinids would have to be human enough to be attractive, yet their exoticness would tickle the cockles of any pleasure-seeking Rouge Trader.

And finally, while Ogryns and Ratlings and Squats have spread across the galaxy, with several planets to their species, we only know of 1 where the Felinids live. Combined with the questionable probability that they naturally evolved into such a state as the Ogryns did, it's entirely likely that they were genetically modified by Pre-Imperium mankind, likely during the Dark Age. Assuming this, they would likely be modified to be attractive in the typical catgirl fashion, instead of ugly and bestial, when you would have drones and AI to do war for you.

Felinids are catgirls, all logic proves this.

That said, they're second-class citizens at best, so them getting into anything but the IG is fanwank and they're not accepted. That too is fanwank because people love catgirls.

Felinids were in a long list of 'accepted' abhumans along with squats. Accepted means it's cool to die for the emperor.

In most circumstances the felinids, unlike the squats, can never become Comissars or sisters of Battle. High Lord of Terra is right out. Most other jobs are fine.

Just because you fetishize nekomimi like a stupid weeb doesn't mean the rules for abhumans change or are somehow new.

>>53748041
Depending on how you look at it, squats are just short humans and not abhuman. I'm surprised you didn't focus on the possibility of short stack sisters of battle considering /tg/s felinid focus is from an abuman list that brought the squats back into canon and the fact there were felinid IG was just a footnote with a long list of other abhumans.

Like, honestly, 5 years now, squats are back, and everyone is focused on the word felinid in that screenshot STILL.

>>53748041
When Squat's had their own mini line there was basically a squat version of every IG and Space Marine unit, they were basically mini-marines and IG hybrid. Eliminated for gameplay redundancy, many years ago it was established that you can put whatever models in your IG regiments, squat's included, but there is a list of abhumans that are always ok to die for the emperor.

Oh I've thought about shortstack sisters, I just thought you meant there was a footnote or fluff piece mentioning a squat in a position that was unsuitable for an abhuman. Unfortunately Squats are still very much abhumans and not just short humans. Especially since in 40k there are no dwarfs (As in the medical condition of today) suggesting that either the genes were fixed at some point during the dark age, or they're just simply killed in childhood due to 40k's crazy levels of grimdark.

>>53748238
Squats are the dwarfs. Yeah genetic tampering is involved so that they are their own thing more like in a fantasy setting, but Squats, unlike every other abhuman, pretty much don't have restrictions in the Imperium that they don't place on themselves. They practically had their own mini-imperium for a while too. It isn't that there was a line that specified "oh squats can be commissars". It's that they've always been everything, they've yet to be told they can't.

>>53748316
No, I mean dwarfs as in medical dwarfism. Not SPACE DORFS.

Something like Khajiits are furry, while Felinids are simply animu. How is this a hard thing to comprehend?

>>53748542
Now, see, this is what's so goddamn hilarious about 4chan. You know what our outward appearance is to normies? A bunch of furries. Not because of what you think of as furshit, but because of Monstergirls, Catgirls, and Aliens. Even just the animal ears, 10% furry, is still furry. That's about the only hard border you can define in terms of being Furry and Not Furry.

We, of course, try and make the mistake of arguing that a certain degree of animalistic traits are Not Furry, and from there defining a border is murky waters that lends itself to massive argumentation, Insults, and degeneracy that is the average fetish thread on here.

I'm pretty sure xeno fetishism has long since become a normie thing with Star Trek and Star Wars, not to mention Mass Effect. And I'm pretty sure 4chan's reputation does not make people think 'furry congregation' at the first mention.

>>53748793
Actually our outward appearance to normies is hypocritical, hyper-racist, disgusting, literally shit eating 'to be ironic', misogynistic to a degree only seen in parody but we mean it here, bullies.

Furry? There were a couple years where furry hate made it off this site. This has since been corrected. Furry hate is back to being another 4chan exclusive phenomenon because 4chan just hates everything.

>>53739470
That's not what restricted to means in the context of "endemic and restricted to." It means that it's the only planet where this particular abhuman strain occurs, as opposed to something like ogryns or ratlings, which occur naturally on or have subsequently migrated to any of a number of planets in the Imperium.

Felinids are restricted to Carlos McConnell in the same way that Fenrisian wolves are restricted to Fenris - but you can sure as hell find Fenrisian wolves anywhere the Space Wolves take them, in the same way you would find a felinid anywhere her Guard respondent happened to be deployed.

>>53748965
Of course we hate everything. We're the Internet Hate Machine, and always have been.

>>53747946
You are using a ton of assumptions
>They are abhumans and not mutants, so their genetic deviation is within acceptable parameters to even the Ecclesiarchy.
Or their genetic variation is stable enough to be considered abhumans instead of mutants. Besides Ogryn and Ratlings don't look very human, certainly not to the point where you would want to fuck them.

> A Rogue Trader naming a planet full of abhumans after himself would be odd, unless the abhumans were attractive in some manner.
Or maybe he named multiple planets after himself, or perhaps it has a valuable resource since it makes more sense for him to care about resources and money than a bunch of worthless peasants,

> Combined with the questionable probability that they naturally evolved into such a state as the Ogryns did, it's entirely likely that they were genetically modified by Pre-Imperium mankind, likely during the Dark Age. Assuming this, they would likely be modified to be attractive in the typical catgirl fashion, instead of ugly and bestial, when you would have drones and AI to do war for you.
Or they were genetically modified to better suit their environment.

Their name is Homo sapiens hirsutus, as in hirsute, as in hairy. Beyond that ratlings don't look like rats, they don't have ears or tails, they have the nature and general body structure of rats. Odds are that felinids are just nimble hairy people, probably more slender and dexterous than regular people. There is zero implication that they are sexy and even less implication that they specifically have cat ears.

>>53749032
That's always been a good cover to keep normies away, but I think it's been failing for a long while now. Now people are excited to explore this "hate machine" and get pissed off if we actually like anything.

I dunno, kemonomimi-style cat-girl felinids actually make a bit of sense in 40k of all places.

I mean, I just see the Imperium not really tolerating felinids or other abhumans if they looked any less human.

Plus, we get sneaky cat-people guardsmen led by Creed.

10% Catgirls and "aliens"(really just humans with colored skin) are a couple of the most normie fetishes in existence. Cat ears and a tail are like the most vanilla erotic cosplay couples can do.

>>53746419
Abhumans differ only slightly from the human baseline, breed true, and are otherwise genetically stable.

Mutants differ drastically from baseline, do not breed true (ex. two mutants with tentacles for arms might produce a child with human arms but teeth growing from their feet), and are genetically unstable.

In short: Abhumans are the product of evolution or DAoT gene-mods, mutants are the product of exposure to toxic waste/radiation/the Warp.

>>53750532
I know, but the your average Imperial Zelot doesn't care about the difference, its more a difference of purging them right know or maybe later. I mean, the would never include the Abhumans in the Perfect Human Form, but I would like just to see some more kinds of abhumans that are "useful"

Officially no, not unless new fluff changes how the Imperium deals with them.

From the one piece of fluff that mentions them I gather that Felinids, along with Troths and Neandors, are perhaps too bestial/feral or generally unsuitable for disciplined military use. Otherwise they'd have been utilized in some fashion rather than being confined to singular worlds.

Unofficially, if you wanted to model Imperial catgirls, go for it. It's no sillier than flowercrons, googlynids or any of the wacky themed Chapters like beemarines. Most people will probably be good humoured and tolerate them in tabletop games.

>>53752072
I dunno dude, just a thought. Maybe they do breed true once exposed.

>>53752098
If you're suggesting that baseline humans get exposed to a pathogen or something on any of those planets and converted into an abhuman I could only imagine the Imperium either quarantining those worlds or sterilizing them.

>>53752192
It's also been done. The canis helix is legit a runaway DAoT genemod to make the original Fenrisian settlers hardier and better adapted to the planet, but after a few tens of thousand years it's degenerated into werewolfism and the various trolls and other monsters that stalk the fjords.

So what would an IG Felinid unit acutally look like, were GW to pull its thumb from its ass and actually create one? Like, really create one, with the intent of making it even quasi-usable, instead of another game-useless unit just to sell models?

TROOPS CHOICE
Up to one Felinid Scout Squad may be taken in an IG Platoon, as long as at least 2 other squads of Infantry (discounting headquarters and heavy weapon squads) are included within the platoon.

Cost: 8 points per model
Unit Size: 4-6 models. Up to 1 model may be designated a Scout Sergeant for +8 points
WS: 3
BS: 4
S: 3
T: 3
I: 4
A: 1
W: 1 (2 for Sergeant)
Ld: 6 (7 for Sergeant)
Armor Save: 5+ (flak)

Unit Type:
>Infantry
Wargear:
>Lasgun, CCW
Special Rules:
>Acute Senses, Aquaphobic*; Claustrophobic**, Fleet of Foot, Infiltrate, Move Through Cover, Scout
Options:
>Up to three non-sergeant models may replace their lasgun with a Sniper Rifle for +2 points/model
>The entire squad may take camo cloaks for +2 points/model
>If the unit includes a Sergeant, the Sergeant may add Melta Bombs for +5 points
>Up to one model may replace its lasgun and CCW for a Meltagun for +10 points

*Aquaphobic: Unit must take an unmodified Leadership test to cross aquatic terrain (rivers, streams at least 1" wide) without the aid of a vehicle or a bridge. Failure pins the unit until its controller's next turn.

Possible, but since the Felinid population is very low having on on the Imeprial Guard would be very rare. They woud most likely stay working on the Planetary defence of their home world.

Possible, but they would probably be preaching to other Felinids and maybe other kinds of Abhuman in their own planet or in isolated Abhuman communities.
Abhumans are lower class citizens, a normal human would most likely not accept a low life preaching to them.

Hardly, but there could not be an Arbitrator dealing with anything other than Felinids, again, humans consider Abhumans to be inferior.

Not very likely.

Even less likely. Unless someone at the Schola Progenium has a fetish for cat girls, and even then, this Commissar would not be in charge of humans, but it might be suited to deal with Abhuman troops.

The word you're looking for is "persecuted". And yes, abhumans are heavily persecuted in the Imperium. They're worse than second class citizens, and the more puritanical elements of imperial society have no qualms about treating them as they would mutants.

>>53737386
>IG/Commissars
Probably not, the one thing that's clear from the pitiful amount of canon information is that they don't get out much. Though putting a felinid in charge of a bunch of Ratling scouts/snipers sounds fun, and ultimately it's your army and nobody's opinion really matters.
>Sisters of Battle
Minor orders and Hospitallers are a thing, and Felinids are loyal Imperial subjects who are *abhumans*, which are specifically not mutants. The possibility exists that they have some less than antagonistic interaction, but a full-fledged Felinid Sister? I doubt it.
>Preachers, Arbitrators, Scribes
Someone has to do the administrative jobs and ensure the planet remains stable and loyal, though it's likely kept in-species and such individuals would have limited authority outside their very narrow duties.
>High Lord of Terra
That's a thing that happens to twelve stupidly influential people at once. They're all going to be human just because those are the people who have an opportunity to amass that much influence and pull. While Felinids are sanctioned due to their stability, and clearly distinct from just being cat-like beastmen, they're still seen as "less than human" rather than "more".

One notable place you might conceivably see Felinids however is the Sisters of Silence, who have gone full circle and somehow give NEGATIVE fucks about the current Imperium and its rules. If they were to find a felinid with the Pariah Gene it'd be more a consideration of whether shaved cat ears look off-putting enough to bend their apparent grooming traditions.

>So what would an IG Felinid unit acutally look like, were GW to pull its thumb from its ass and actually create one?
Why would they? They are quarantined to an individual world, it is doubtful they even serve in the Imperial guard and certainly not to the same extent as Ratlings and Ogryn.

>Rules
Jesus christ this is a ton of shit for no apparent reason. They are abhumans from a single world, why are they getting so much good gear, why are do their sergeants have two wounds, and why give them a unique special rule that will almost never come into play?

Here is what I would do

Elites

Cost: 35 Points
Unit Size: 4+sergeant
WS: 3
BS: 3
S: 3
T: 3
I: 4
A: 1 (2 for sergeant)
W: 1
Ld: 6 (7 for Sergeant)
Armor Save: 5+ (flak)

Unit Type:
>Infantry
Wargear:
>Lasgun, CCW, frag grenades, krak grenades
Special Rules:
>Acute Senses, Fleet of Foot, Infiltrate, Move Through Cover, Scout
Options:
>Can add up to five additional felinids for +7 points per model
>Up to three non-sergeant models may replace their lasgun with a Sniper Rifle, Grenade Launcher, or Flamer (2, 5, 5 points each respectively)
>The Sergeant may add Melta Bombs for +5 points
>The entire unit may replace its lasguns with shotguns or laspistols

Essentially their purpose is to infiltrate and fulfill a specific role before dying, they aren't elites, they aren't natural snipers, they are natural infiltrators and since they are worthless abhumans they are given some cheap special weapons and sent to die accomplishing something.

Alternatively if you want to play up a feral aggression I would suggest the following changes
>WS 4
>2 attacks, 3 for sergeant
>Subflak Armour (6+ save)
>Furious charge
>50 points base
>10 points for each additional dude
They die easily but can hit dangerously hard

>>53777770
Counterpoint: either they're standard IG with cat ears, or they have a useful specialty. If it's the latter, why would they be considered expendable when they're a subspecies you may never even SEE again, let alone get to command? You can always get more baseline humans if all of yours die, but felinids don't exactly grow on trees.

There's a pretty clear argument that if you ever saw a small felinid unit they'd be decently kitted and expected to survive at least a few missions.

>>53777886
They are still abhumans and thus not as important as humans. Its like saying if we could use lions as effective soldiers, would we be willing to sacrifice human soldiers simply because lions are endangered?

Besides there are enough trained baseline humans and ratlings to make felinids partially redundant. The Imperium doesn't NEED felinids they could just use trained guardsmen, the reason to use felinids is that you don't need to train them or equip them to be specialist infiltrators. Beyond that felinids are quarantined to one planet if they were to see combat odds are they would be conscripted only for that one campaign meaning long term survivability doesn't matter.

Also think of well equipped IG units and the two that come to mind are veterans and storm troopers. Veterans have fought for years or decades to earn the right to carry multiple plasma guns per squad, hell they might have just looted it and have no actual sanctioning for such equipment. Storm troopers are the elite of the Imperial guard, trained from childhood to be the best soldiers possible. Felinids are just sneaky humans who aren't midgets.

What I would do if you want additional gear is give them SPECIALIST equipment. An example would be a ripper gun, it isn't expensive or complex but it is logical gear for an Ogryn to have. Maybe felinids could dual wield autopistols or have special lascarbines or poison CCWs or maybe anti-tank mines. But I cannot see the Imperial Guard giving abhumans camo cloaks and expensive special weapons. Remember the Imperium is racist and abhumans are barely considered people.

lets all remember the most important factor here: the felinids have a covering of light fur

Given that this is 40k they could be literally anything or nothing.

>>53737386
>Is it true that Felinid abhumans can join the Imperial Guard and even become Commissars, Sisters of Battle, Preachers, Arbitrators, Scribes, etc, etc?
Guard - yes, if their planet has Guard tithe, which is likely. Commisars, Sisters of Battle - if they have schola progenium on their world, yes, which is unlikely. Preachers, Arbitrators, Scribes - most imperial planets have these and most are local, so there should be some for sure.
>Could a Felinid become a High Lord of Terra?
Statistically it shall not happen, because felinids live on 1 among 1 million worlds and high lords of terra stay on their position like 100 years and Imperium got 10k years more to live top.
>What makes them accepted when abhumans are so commonly despised?
This question implies they are accepted which has no lore proof as far as I know it. What lore suggests so far is that they are not worth of any attention on the galactic scale. So almost all of all of them stay on their home planet and only people who are to accept or despise them besides themselves are imperial adeptus stationed on their planet.

You are acting as though the Imperium is some sort of egalitarian area where abhumans are fully accepted.

Possibly, however since their world is under quarantine possibly not.

No, the Imperium hates abhumans and would never give them privileged positions.
>Can they become a high Lord of Terra
Definitely not
> What makes them accepted when abhumans are so commonly despised?
It is never mentioned that they are accepted. Hell even on /tg/ more people probably like Ogryn than felinids since at least Ogryn fans aren't all waifu fags.

>>53777694
Space catgirls have been a staple of western sci-fi since the 1960s and nobody's forcing Felinids, they're already canon.

>>53782897

Felinids are canon. Catgirls aren't. What you degenerates are forcing is the idea that Felinids=Catgirls when there's absolutely nothing concrete supporting that theory. Go jerk off on another board, 40K isn't for fapping to.

>>53784210
Is there anything to support another theory, or completely disproving this theory?

>>53784346

There's nothing EITHER way. There's no description of them (aside from the Homo Sapiens Hirstutus tag or however it was phrased), no official artwork, no nothing.

Insisting that they're catgirls is the hangup here. It's not that they COULDN'T be catgirls, it's that there's nothing to go on either way, and insisting that they MUST be catgirls is fucking stupid and fetish-tastic headcanon at best until more information is given.

The "Felinids=Catgirl" question shouldn't come back as "yes" or "no". It should come back as "null set" because there's no data. Everyone insisting that "Felinids=Catgirls" fails at basic critical thinking and rigor. If GW actually released more data that proved or disproved it either way, I wouldn't have an issue, regardless of the result. It's just that they haven't and people are projecting so hard there's going to be a worldwide shortage of bulbs.

>>53784473
I've always taken the nod to "hirsute" to mean they're at least Swat Kats level furry, but like you said, indeterminate data set and I'm not gonna demand people go this way or that until we get some more lore.

>>53784473
>There's nothing EITHER way.
Actually, the common name Felinid implies that they're distinctly cat-like, and are distinguishable from beastmen.

What kind of cat-person they are remains subject to individual interpretation, so shut your autistic ass up and let people fluff their armies however they want. It literally does not affect you in any way, shape, or form, and you admitted yourself that there's not enough information to say any individual interpretation is definitely wrong anyway.

The new /tg/, folks.

Person A makes a claim. ("X has Y physical feature")
Person B asks for proof showing that X in fact has Y physical feature.
Person A: "AUSTISM!"

For fucks sake, just admit that there is nothing canon proving they have ears (compared to, say a Space Marine having a progenoid gland), you're assigning them that feature because you want to, and that absolutely nothing except what you enjoy is backing that up.

Nobody even cares if it makes your dick hard, or whatever, but the fact you're unwilling to admit that there's no proof either way (which means, by definition, there's nothing supporting them having the ears) makes *you* the contemptible ones in this discussion, not the people who are asking for proof.

A name is proof of nothing. You can call your self Biggus Dickus all you want, but that doesn't change the fact you need a magnifier mounted on your toilet to take a piss.

What you're calling proof is actually a 'supposition'. You're assuming that because they're called felinids that they have cat ears. They could just as easily have slit pupils and a tail. Or be extra-graceful and land on their feet when falling. Or lick themselves compulsively. All of those have equal weight to your assumption, that is, not a goddamn bit.

You can call yourself whatever you want, it's what other people call yourself that's more important.

And you're the one so autistically obsessed with 'proof', not us. We say there's cat ears because there's nothing saying there isn't, and not much of anything really. And here you come, screeching and making a fool of yourself, because... autism and hatred for catgirls/ears? Trolling? Who knows.

>>53787338
>and not much of anything really

The name "Felinid" is proof enough for me.
Ratlings are short hobbit people
Ogryns are huge ogre people
Felinids are sassy cat people

I like fun though, I can see how this point of view would be anathema to an autist.

>>53787338
>It's what other people call you that's important.
WAAAGH! Effect is not real, I'd rather plant myself by what follows logically. X does not follow from Y. The guy you are arguing with is technically correct, the absence of lore negating cat ears on Felinids does not substantiate their existence.
At this point, ANY physical representation of a Felinid is going to take some creative liberties on part of the modeler.

Which brings me to my real point, Felinid threads are always heavy on daydreaming, short on action. The first guy to actually convert and display a Felinid regiment has waaaaay more clout than either of you.

You are bringing some heavy bagage into this silly discussion.
In your line of work taking action without the backing of solid data will cause loss of money, but here, nothing of value will be lost.

We are just talking about a nothing planet on a forgotten corner of the galaxy that happens to have a sub-species of humans that is called Felinids, the lack of data gives room for speculation and for the creation of head-canon, be it Swat Cats, Mithra or some Shirow Masamune bullshit.

There is no proof that they are anime cat-girls, Swat Cats furry or weird porn characters but filling the gaps is part of the appeal of WH40k. It's a huge galaxy with room for us to use our imagination and missing data is an invitation for us to come up with bullshit to fill the gaps.

You should not get upset about it, nothing we come up with is true anyway, it's just fanwork. And GW will never fluff this one insignificant planet anyway.

Felinids exist in, ironically, a schroedinger state of both having cat ears and not having cat ears until something canon breaks the uncertainty.

I just came here for cat-eared soldiers.
