Official depictions of felinids in Warhammer 40k are quite rare and not well-documented. They are a type of abhuman with feline characteristics, but Games Workshop has not released detailed artwork or models for them which i find to be very unfortunate. what do you think they should look like?
imo they should be more felinid like than human like, examples bellow
i think that felinids should take on the form of being mainly felinid but with ââhumanââ eyes in order to make them more relatable and humanistic. iâve seen so much trash design in entertainment done by people who donât know what makes a face familiar or attractive that i wanted to bring it up for discussion. if you have any opinion on what they should look like iâd love to hear about it.
i would love to see some engagement around this aspect of sub humans considering that we donât even know what they are supposed to look like
seriouslyâŚ
On an even more serious note to crush your foolish dreams if youâre hoping for an âattractiveâ mutant in 40k then youâre going to be severely disappointed. If they were to live in the imperium it would be in cages and circuses, mistreated, abused and killed for amusement. there is no room for pity for the mutant in the imperium only hatred and disgust (for good reason).
Some mutants are exempt from this depending on how useful they are (like Ogryns, if they werent militarumâs best front assault soldiers, theyâd be executed as soon as they left the tank they were bred in).
Though to be honest i dont think âfelinidsâ would even be considered a mutant but rather a straight up xeno which makes their case even worse.
A mutant can still have some hope in the imperium for an awful life, but a life non the less, a xenoâs best case scenario is a swift bullet to the head.
So yeah, if youâre hoping for some furry fantasy, then youâre in the wrong place.
its so jover
Felinids were supposted to be stable mutation - like Ogryns, or Ratlings.
I think, they would look something like that - maybe with more fur.
Bonus from TTS:
No horny in Grimdark future.
Yeah, think a lot less anime cat-girl and much more mutant with vaguely cat-like features.
But h-mo sapiens hirsutus (lol at these censors) are still classified as Abhumans rather than Mutants who have far less rights, and regarded as distinct from Beastmen, h-mo sapiens variatus, who have fallen under a pall of suspicion due to their similarities to the recently recorded Chaos-originated beastmen and have thus been downgraded in abhuman status and place on the Register of Proscribed Citizens which has, historically, always been a precursor to extermination. Of course, they are no longer accepted for the Tithe and cannot serve in the Guard. Felinids do not yet have that problem and still serve, but are exceedingly rare as they have only a single homeworld vice the great many beastmen worlds.
All that said, I think GW has intentionally left them vague and unreliably described so that the furry crowd can continue to fantasize and the rest of us can move on and leave them to their delusions.
There are beastmen in 40k? Thought theyâre fantasy only.
They were originally a sub-faction of the Imperial Guard that allowed the use of some special rules. But they were scrubbed from the roster around the same time as the squats (I think between 2nd and 3rd ed?) as an effort to make the setting a bit more serious and less obviously just a ported-over version of WHFB.
The Beastmen at least got the dignity of an in-universe explanation.
But then they were re-introduced in 7th as a supplement to the Thousand Sons army list. Technically, they are different as these chaos ones are a direct result of chaos corruption (just like the WHFB variety, the so-called âchildren of chaosâ) rather than the old IG beastmen who were a result of purely natural mutations, but the designs and looks are pretty much identical as they are both derived from the same source. As of 9th, I think they have all four flavors of gor filled out, a kill-team and even a few named characters.
Thatâs one way to say that there hasnât been any at all.
I doubt that they are very cat like, otherwise they would just be treated like Beastmen.
by making the statement that felinids are mutants youâre inrespecies racist, just baltantly. youâre interspecies racist. just because theyâre another abhhluman from you doesnât make them less than somebody from Atoma or anywhere else where humankind span race wise. youâre legit racist interspecies racist, these are felinids, a race of humllankind who is lore inclusive just as any other race
racist
Yeah, think a lot less anime cat-girl and much more mutant with vaguely cat-like features.
they are not mutant in any capacity. they are abhuman
yes, beast men and beast women. ââfelinidââ
Im guessing you new to 40k?
This is simply the reality of living in the universe of 40k. its a hell that you wouldnt want to experience in your worst nightmares. Not a fantasy world where you fantasize about being a furry or anyone for that matter, tail or not.
I recommend listening to Lutein to learn what the average life of a perfectly healthy and normal human is in the imperium (spoiler alert : its not great) :
Im just telling you how it is in the imperium in the 40k universe, it does not reflect my personal views in the real world.
Personally, i love aliens, mass effect is one of my favorite universes. But this isnt mass effect, this is 40k, learn the difference.
I love mutants too, in any universe or game if there is an option i ALWAYS pick the non-human faction. Tyrannids are my 2nd favorite in 40k(first is mechanicus), skaven are my 2nd favorite in fantasy (first is vamp counts).
And you calling me a âracistâ just because i told you how people in a fictional universe would react to seeing a fictional character is pretty damn rude. You should fix that attitude of yours.
so because theyâre a different abhuman from you that makes it okay to call them a literal mutant? you know what mutants are donât you? a mutant is a corrupted being. so disappointed in you
i respectfully disagree, any abhumans that is a part of the guard is as much a part of that as you are
Iâm for this if they eat all the ratlings and thereby we escape ratlings and any more in game dialogue about ratlings.
I changed my vetâs voice so I wouldnât have to hear about ratling âtipplesâ as much.
explain what you mean about this ââfurryââ that you talk about, i dont think it has much to do about the 40k universe at all. seems more like a fantasy rattling around in your head but if that is your fantasy itâs not very accurate because felinids are not that
yes felinids eat everything, this is a well known fact
moronic self absorbed satire. lame. no lore here. you know exactly NOTHING about the Felinids
