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.

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.

Catachan has had neither of those mitigating factors happen to it.

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.

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?

10:16 Yes, they do like Cain, in Death or Glory two catachan soldiers tried to save his life and in The Devil You Know he works with a squad of them who comes to deeply respect him for dealing with the drukari and tyranids which were playing the planet.

Ciaphas Cain does actually very briefly get attached to a regiment of catachan in the audio drama “The devil you know” pretty good as far as audio dramas go, also I think it’s one of the times a guardsman almost clocked onto the fact that Cain is a massive wuss

My favorite tidbit of lore was when Caine was on a ship that was under decompression and two Catachan held open blast doors for him. These blast doors also could cut a marine in half.

Whats amazing is that for Catachan to be able to provide the amount of male adult troops the standard Catachan woman has to have 7-8kids minimum during her life for the population to be stable. With child mortality being 50%+. Every city must be built around a HEAVILY fortified nursery to keep the kids/mothers alive.

This makes me think of Mace Windu’s home planet, Haruun Kal, from the book Star Wars Shatterpoint. It’s worse in the typical 40K ways (everything just being more extreme and wanting to kill you in terrible ways), but hey, at least Catachan doesn’t have metal-eating bacteria, so your guns and knives can survive.

This was great! Consider making another one about the actual top tier badasses of theAstra Militarum: the Kasrkin, people so utterly good at killing that they consistently beat Orks in melee combat canonically and sometimes outperform Space Marines. Also maybe the solar auxilia, which are considered only one step below the space marines and could win one on one fight against them if armed with volkite weapons.

The catachan command squad does have a data sheet, *technically*. Part of the new index is the “Platoon Command Squad” which is basically supposed to represent all the regiment command squads besides Cadian. Honestly, since the Cadian command squad is locked to only Cadian units and is overall *much* less customizable, I actually prefer the Platoon Command Squads, and I’m sure a lot of other guard players do too.

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. The memes are very strong in this comment section. Y'all just need to read more novels and, y'know, 40k lore.

akshually 🤓 since catachan is a jungle planet the oxigen content of the atmosphere and the atmospheric density would be much higher than earths; One of the main issues for large animals is getting enough oxygen for all their cells with a smaller surface area (square cube law) So while yes stronger gravity would lead to harsher winds and therefore smaller statutes, the jungle slows the winds enough that it wouldnt really be an issue and the oxygen rich atmosphere would encourage gigantism. (this does mean that a catachan would suffocate under "normal" atmospheric conditions like someone at the peak of mt everest but its warhammer so who cares)
