    My favorite Catachan Fact is that apparently the disregard for authority and love of red bandannas is encoded on a _genetic level_ within them - in one story, Kroot started eating Catachans and took on the same traits of favoring red bandannas and disrespecting their Tau officers.

    From what I remember they get along alright, Cain is thrilled to be working with a squad that knows how to survive, and the Catachan don't seem to have any issues with him (probably because he actually listens to and follows their advice).

    Every time I hear about Catachans, I'm reminded of a story I heard about a new Commissar in one of their regiments:
    "Welcome sir to the Catachan 419th 'One Short' Regiment! Glad to have you here. See sir, we have this tradition in the regiment for all the new commissars, just two small things to get the integration going eh, something good for morale. We have a wee lil' Catachan Devil tied up in that tent over there, to show you have what it takes you have to get in the cage and pull one of its teeth. Got lotsa teeth, easy job. After you did that you have one task left, to show you're really one of the men: you gotta satisfy one of the lasses. Gotta few volunteers on a dry spell so you just ask around and ya know really make some good lovin'. If she likes you after that, welcome to regiment sir!"
    So the young commissar, bewildered, confused and utterly green behind the ears wanders to the tent with the Devil cage. He closes the flap behind him and climbs into the cage. The men outside soon hear a great racket, a banging, tearing sound interspersed with terrible screaming. They grin to each other, knowing full well the paperwork will be minimal. Then after the banging falls silent and to everyone's surprise the Commissar appears, shirt gone, sleeves torn off his greatcoat.
    "Right, who was the girl with the teeth problem?"
    This is the story of how Commissar Jason "The Devil's Man" Statholme joined the 419th.

    From what I have heard (mostly from PancreasNoWork) the only other world that could have argued for being a more deadly death world than Catachan was Caliban. But Caliban had pseudo-power armor so the people could hold their own and then a Primarch happened to the world and it stopped being quite so dangerous. Catachan has had neither of those mitigating factors happen to it.

    The other reason Catachans will likely be sticking around is that if you read the 9th edition Votann codex, there is a map of the core, with a planet labeled "New Catachan". Which means even a repeat of Cadia can't excuse GW taking our Jungle Fighters away.

  • @theshamurai32
    @theshamurai32 7 місяців тому +46

    I love the Catachans and feel you on it not translating to tabletop. I like the direction they're being pushed into, carving out a niche as the Guard's dedicated close range melee fighters, but they need some tweaks (that could only come up with a range refresh) to really fill that roll. If it were me spitballing how to buff them up:
    -Keep the Strength +1 and AP-1 on charge, but also give them Catachan unique melee weapons, like a Catachan Fang for the troops and even a Devil's Claw for the Sergeant. Shooting in the dark, I'm picturing something like 2 attacks 4+ S4 AP0 Damage 1. That would make them capable (for Guardsmen) in melee and that buff would bring them to S5 AP-1 on a Charge.
    -Give them a native ability to fall back and charge to capitalize on that ability. If they're only "good" at melee for one phase and then stick in base to base slog at standard Guardsman melee strength, it defeats the purpose of using them as a melee unit. Could even give this to a Catachan character as a leader buff, but IMO this just makes sense with their guerilla shadow war vibes.
    -Up the flamers (or one of the two/two of the four for valance) to heavy flamers. We've canonically established Catachans are brick shit house huge and have an affinity for flamers and big guns. Having a heavy Flamer or two in the Squad seems like a relatively small change, but that extra strength and AP-1, in my opinion, tip the scales into making them legitimately useful.

    • @Lunch_Meat
      @Lunch_Meat 7 місяців тому +5

      I'm only just slightly getting back into 40k after almost 20 years away. The catachan codex back in the day gave them a ton of specialist gear and rules that made them look more like modern genestealer cults than what catachan are now (traps, special rules on vehicles, etc.)
      They felt more like an army of saboteurs than a close combat army back then and played best from the shadows and using their ability to move through difficult terrain.
      Is the option of a stealthy and highly mobile infantry just not an option in the game anymore or what?

Granted Cain didn’t make it through, but I think that’s a positive sign for Catachan opinions on Ciaphas “I hate myself” Cain.

      The Guard and astartes don't recruit from the same worlds. And space marine apotheosis mostly mind-wipes the aspirant. Plus as the wide variety of worlds space marines are recruited from, and the wide range of trials they undergo demonstrate, there's no reason to believe Catachan-recruited space marines would be any different than recruits from elsewhere. Plenty of chapters convert half-starved feral children from wastelands like Baal into the same hyper-competent space marines as recruits from death worlds like Fenris.
