the chance of beastmen

[Nightman20]

i know a little on 40k lore so dont panic if im incorrect but think about this.
wouldnt the mourningstar be a great place for a less than desirable abhuman that may possibly be named a mutant in the very near future? you could introduce pestigors along with them because the beastmen are shunned and some would happily serve nurgle for more safety or to get back at the imperium.

also fatshark already has beastmen models.

[Narky]

Beastmen exist in 40k but to a much lesser extent as Abhumans. Same with Felinids and 'Halflings' (Ratlings), along with the Ogres (Ogryns).

Then there's the Dwarves (Leagues of Votann), and the Hrud which are the closest thing to Skaven in 40k.

The Aeldari are distinct enough to not even be called Elves, but vaguely resemble them through appearance alone and.. that's it.

However, since elevating the Great Horned Rat from Minor Chaos God to Major Chaos God in Age of Sigmar, it's been suggested that Games Workshop wants to bring Skaven over into 40K officially ever since the Leagues of Votann became a thing.

yes they are abhumans that the imperium doesnt like very much. why not throw them at the chaos cultists to kill eachother? 2 birds one stone.

They (as in Mutants with animal feature) are not abhumans. Mutants are warp tainted. The saying goes "Burn the Heretic! Kill the Mutant! Purge the Unclean" for a reason. The only way Mutants are "tolerate" on Imperial worlds is in the lowest parts of the Hive, where there is no law and no "law abiding" member of society ever gets down to unless with a heavily armed combat group like a bunch of combat servitors to do some maintenance.

Mutants are not Abhumans and Beastmen are not Mutants in 40k. Beastmen also are expressly forbidden by the Imperium to serve in the military in any sort of capacity... are not allowed to travel to or settle on imperial planets and a whole host of other things. At least according to the 8th edition rulebook.

It is not likely there would be a Beastmen presence on this planet... if they are, surely not on imperial side. Unless Fatshark wants to create some imperial cult for this very purpose... but why use Beastmen when they instead could add a Deathcult assassin or a Techpriest as a new class, and please a lot more "fans".... even an Orc Mercenary would buy Fatshark more favor than a Beastman playable character.

And there shouldn't be a large enough Beastman presence on the planet to justify them being included as enemies. Again.. Genestealer Cult and Orks would be a much more viable solution for a new "faction" of enemy. Especially considering that the Genestealer Cult could pretty much share a lot of the "chaff" enemies in the form of Broodbrothers... and they would only need to add something like Aberrants instead of the Ogryns. Not to Chaos Ogryn could be replaced with a Hypermorph and the Beast of Nurgle could be replaced with either a flock of Genestealers or a Patriarch.

Beastmen are cannon to 40k

Cannon maybe be, but super uncommon. Like Ultra rare and usually only found on Demon worlds inside the eye of Terror.

There are much better things they can add. From Genestealers, Orks to even Hrud.

Well, as far as I know in the 40k universe, skaven, beastmen, tomekings, and a fair few others don't exist.

Hrud used to be the 40k skaven until their looks got Retconned. 2nd Edition depictions of the Hrud were basically skaven in space.

Beastmen are common on demon worlds. Slannesh has a real thing for Minotaurs, goats and horses. I let you make the connection.

Tombkings are basically Necron. Instead of an undead body they are souls put into... well basically an egyptian version of the T-800. Including small metal scarabs.

Those Beastmen who have been introduced to the Imperial Cult by the missionaries of the Adeptus Ministorum possess a simple but fierce devotion to the Emperor of Mankind and regard Him as a vengeful god who demands tribute in the form of the blood of His enemies. These fanatically religious Beastmen are driven by the need to atone for their original sin of being mutants by fighting in service to the Emperor.

Within the Imperium however, Beastmen are subject to severe persecution and have been placed on the Register of Proscribed Citizens (Class A-G worlds) by the Adeptus Arbites. As such, they are effectively precluded from settlement on, or transportation to or from, more than three hundred thousand worlds of the Imperium and are forbidden from being conscripted as an Imperial Tithe obligation. These restrictions are a sure sign, that Beastmen will soon lose their Abhuman status completely and will be reclassified as true Mutants.[4]

Untrue you could field Beastmen in a Guard Army they fall under acceptable Abhumans

Species X-10198.RK. Are Skaven

i want Orks!!!!!

Good idea. We could add skaven to the game as well. In a future expansion maybe take us outside, maybe to some sort of ruined city and we can explore the outskirts, like farms, the deep woods, etc.

Also a few new classes would be nice. Maybe like... a really short dude. And maybe an Eldar who really like bows for some reason.

Okay but I just pictured a 40k game that takes place on a backwater small-scale agriworld with a weird rogue trader cast, lol.

Save it for Greentide. :p Just reminded me of a pic I saw on Discord, actually. 5 random Space Marines of different chapters, and one had an auspex. Made me think of Darktide cause of that. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046912126746374274/1060779402885087242/image.png

40k does have beastmen, they even serve in the guard, but only on a very small number of specific planets.
