Writing ideas for 40k: Monsterfolk it is

Psst....I wouldn't mind some pictures as well

It's far easier to make it an alternate universe where the Imperium is 100% monster people mutants.

It messes with some core thematic elements but your core concept has already established that you don't give a fuck about that.

Well you could probably still put in normal world - after all both rogue traders and inquisitors have some weird people in there retenues and these could be mutants or xeno...

But then you say it I wouldn't mind creating some weird part of the universe with some grimdark monster folk based on same ideas 40k has - maybe even make something new?

Rogue Traders do have weirdos on their team, but when you put in "monsterfolk" that seemed to imply there were going to be more than 1 or even more than 6 as central characters. You will create more problems than are necessary for a fun story w/ monstergirls and power armor.

Just do alternate universe.

Well for now I was considering only one...But maybe I should just make an alternative universe or I don't know...Make small universe of my own? With few old colonies of humans in future that is not distant 40k with monsterfolk being the result of some scientists experimantal creatures left on some uninhabited worlds or just result of mutation?

If you are doing one then it's just fine. In Rogue Trader you can have characters be Mutants in Character Gen. Pretty sure the Rogue Trader himself can be one, and those mutations get pretty wild.

Inquisitors might be a harder swing since I know that they will enslave Daemons but not sure about mutants. That being said I'm not sure why they would use one and not the other.

Well yeah it's quite possible mutants are only used by radicals but then again - one could possibly become an inquisitor as well

>>55108344
> one could possibly become an inquisitor as well

Make your own universe. This causes way more problems than you want to deal with.

>>55108376
Yeah, I will, maybe I will make some art as well, but seeing as this thread's idea changed, shall we discuss the concepts how could monster folk come to life on distant worlds?

Could it be some experiment by few mad scientist?

Should be abhumans, since mutants vary wildly from generation to generation.

A decent chunk of the underclasses of the Imperium are made of abhumans and mutants, since the bottom of the hive is usually full of radiocative leaks.

Even beastmen are mostly tolerated, and nothing says chaos worship like a beastman.

The article on 1d4chan lists all the official abhumans branches, natural or artificial, as well as one very interesting idea IMO, some DE haemonculus twisting an entire population just because.
(also works with a deranged magos biologis, newcron scientist, alien virus plague...)

Ps : Imperial creed loathes abhumans, because of the "perfection of the human form" bit.

Snek.

Hell, the catgirl IG idea is basically fans running with canon.

You already have loyalist puppers as Space wolves, and dark eldar turning themselves into space elf birbs.

>>55107161
That's one of the few sneks I can support

As a person who has had a job, why not blame The Bureacracy? It's canon in 40K that it's massive and they've lost very large things thanks to rounding errors.

Have a sector of Monsterfolks that produces a lot of food and supplies. Have it be producing for so long that someone like the Admech thought the place was authorized, has paperwork that implies that, and that any attempt to 'deal' with the situation will face blow back. Pulling ships and people from places that need it would be hard to justify to te Bureaucracy, and there's too many entrenched people to really push it.

I could see that happening

So what would you think of the route of using some feral or feudal world? Seeing as then it could have some abhumans and said rogue trader could be someone exploring the reasons why these abhumans exist?
