A more aggressive breed of Felinid, these abhumans are born with a characteristic striped pattern to their fur and have a strong predatory instinct; unlike most Felinids, Tigers are notorious for savoring the effort in prying the can open to consume their prey.
 
Wild Cats are trained from a very young age as close-combat specialists and shock troopers to quickly engage enemies and keep them busy while the Guardsmen do the rest by shooting down fleeing soldiers...that is if there will be anyone to shoot down by the time the girls are done with the help of their Chain Axes. And it nearly always ends very messy.

'''Felinid "Shade Cats" Specialist Squad (90pts - Elite):'''  
'''Jaguar Squad (90pts - Fast Attack):'''  


A rare breed of Felinds. Shade Cats are even more agile than their more common kin, and are characterised with a black or very dark skin and fur colour. These abhumans are used as forward vanguards or assassins due to their natural affinity for stealth by the few Guard Regiments that can afford these specialists.
Jaguars are characterised by black or very dark skin and fur. These abhumans are used as forward vanguards or assassins due to their natural affinity for stealth by the few Guard Regiments that can afford these specialists. They are particularly fond of dipping their Jaguar Claws in venom before deployment - these are extremely large monomolecular clawed gauntlets designed to separate flesh from bone with the ease of snapping one's fingers.
 
Shade Cat armaments include weapons coated in potent venoms and toxins, as well as recon gear. Due to their numbers, these Felinids get a even more harrowing training in order to increase their survivability.

Felinids have a permanent +1 to Initiative and a 6+ Invulnerability Save in Close Combat. The latter stacks with Medi Packs. Additionally, models with this rule have the Move Through Cover USR.

The entire squad's Chain Axes (this includes the Alpha Wild Cat's Power Axes) count as Specialist Weapons. Additionally the whole squad has the Furious Assault USR.


*'''Envenomed:''' Shade Cats are known to apply lethal cocktails of highly venomous substances on their weapons in order to make sure that their prey won't live long enough if they manage to flee. All Close Combat Weapons (including the Alpha Shade Cat's Power Sword) gains the Poisoned (3+) USR.
*'''Envenomed:''' Shade Cats are known to apply lethal cocktails of highly venomous substances on their weapons in order to make sure that their prey won't live long enough if they manage to flee. All Close Combat Weapons (including the Alpha Shade Cat's Power Sword) gains the Poisoned (3+) USR.


*'''Covert Training:''' Shade Cats undergo a more advanced training in recon and stealth in order to make them get closer to enemy positions. The unit with this rule gains both the Stealth and Scout USR. Additionally, Shade Cats may switch their Boltguns and Specialist Weapons for their Close Combat Weapons and Bolt Pistols once per turn.
*'''Covert Training:''' Stealth, Scout, and Infiltrate USRs.

What they probably would look like...

Felinids are a strain of Abhuman that reside on a very pimpish name for a Planet, Carlos McConnell. They go by the scientific name Homos sapien hirsutus.

Thus ends the entirety of the canonical information on the Felinids. I wish I was kidding.

Judging by their name they might as well be Imperial Catgirls, if not full-on furries (hirsutus = hairy), although the idea on why Humanity started growing feline like traits is beyond the realms of contemporary science. Since almost nothing is known of them, nor their planet, the flood gates were opened for /tg/ to imagine up their relationship with the Imperium; as something only the Guys with fancy hats would have the permission of "Studying" them. Although it would be quite the hilarity to vision a Space Wolf Wulfen chasing down a Felinid.

What their role is in the Imperium

Although almost nothing is know about the Felinids, we can speculate that they might be used as road cleaners or construction workers or anything that has to do with Civilian work, since they are never mentioned to be part of the military. Furthermore due to their location on one planet, they might also be used as exotic dancers or sex slaves by your average Imperial Joe. "IF" they were in the Imperial Guard, then they could either be used as scouts, thieves or assassins, but this is mainly a stereotype of Cat-people so it might not be true.

Their Biology

Since they might be the Imperial analogue to Cat-Folk, we expect the Felinids to have a small and slender body posture. Furthermore, like all felines, they should have incredible flexibility and agility, their strength should be slightly weaker to a baseline human (If they are based on a small cat of course) but they also could be much faster. Its scientific name, hirsutus, which means "Hairy" in Latin, could also suggest that they are Furries, although how hairy/furry their body could be, is up for debate. Some chose to imagine them as catgirls with glam-rock hair, which given 40k's origins, is rather likely.
