WH40K: Felinids?

Kindly clue me in, Veeky Forums, I've been out of the loop; what's the current status of felinids in 40K?

Are they still around? Extinct? Subject to the Guard tithe or not? Any rules for them yet?

They are more or less an entire race of sex toys for the Empire.

This. It's canon and everything.

They exist, have zero mention except as a name and a planet in a list of abhumans. The list was repeated in the 8ed book, so they survived the gathering storm. Lots of fanboy speculation for obvious reasons but you're more likely to see GW pick Squats back up before you see models.

They exist on a single world as abhumans, that's it

This is the canon look of 40k felinids.

I heard they'd gotten mentioned in a new book! A little sad to hear it was just "they still exist", but better than nothing.

I find this a little hard to believe. Only a little.

Man, Treasure Planet was such a great movie

Neat, some of the old 40k style lives on.
I'd play specialist shock troop abhumans but ogryns have that niche.
Ratlings have the sniper role, so I guess they can be bike troops.

You forgot the nane of the planet they live on is Carlos McConnel and the fact they're referred to as Hirsuitius suggests something less anime and more like Khajit.

They're hairy scotts

Not 1d4chan canon.

Do abhumans even have a guard tithe? I know Ogryns are recruited but is it done by planetary tithe? Seems like it would cause more harm than help

>1d4chan
You mean that reddit-infested site that has been neglected at best and infested with SJWs (especially on WH40K pages) at worst? Yeah, totally going there for my "canon".

Only Beastmen are proscribed, they're specifically listed as being ineligible for the tithe. Other abhumans can be recruited (ogryns, ratlings) as auxiliaries but the implication is that they're generally drawn from minority populations on majority baseline human worlds. It's left ambiguous whether the single-planet abhuman strains (felinids, troths, neandors, etc.) raise their own regiments, are exempt or meet their tothe obligation in some other way.

Obligatory "endemic and confined to" doesn't mean they aren't allowed to leave, just that it's where the sole breeding population resides.

Hairy Spaniard Scots.
They have the manliest men that ever man'd.
I'm gonna see if I can find any lion-man miniatures now.

>complains about something instead of doing literally anything to improve it

yup, it's the movie that gave me my first "why boner why" boner

I dunno, see also - that's certainly enough hair to qualify.

Then again, Scottish/Spanish lion men are badass in their own way, I'd be OK with that.

I would kill to see more stories in the setting. Pirates of the Pleiaides, anyone?

>he doesn't realize they ban people who unreddit it

Try finding some old Traveller minis, Aslani would fit the bill. Don't know if they were ever done other than 15mm though...

What rules would they follow on tabletop?

They were a brief mention in a book that was done as a reward for a guy who won a White Dwarf contest/raffle.

> just that it's where the sole breeding population resides.
That's literally covered in the word endemic though ("native or restricted to a certain country or area.") making "and confined" redundant.

>old 40k style
user that's weeb shit. Not even a little
Everything else you said I am OK with

Has anyone even converted a Felinid?
I have not seen a single model that wasn't reappropriated.

The phrase was "endemic and restricted to," anyway.

There's a few other abhuman species described as well, including the catch-all term "longshank" for any human that's from a population that lives on low-gravity worlds or space, and some sort of amphibious human with gills, supposedly a post-human engineering project during from the Dark Age to better adapt the population to their watery homeworld. Also night-worlders who live on worlds that are mostly dark, who have become almost sightless or developed oversized eyes to compensate.

The only canon descriptions of felinids we have seem to describe them as the feline equivalent of wolfy Fenrisians, generally very human, but with a few catlike traits either behavioral or physical, notably a very thin coat of fur.

You gotta up your 40k baitgame. Try suggesting cat-girl space marines being possible because the new primaris organs work on women and mutants.

Is this how the Ctarl-Ctarl were born?
