Catachan

For sure.

Oh, I've only just realized, though, a Catachan Robert Muldoon saying, "Clever girls were hired tyrant."

[laughs] Now we're-

Now we-

...

the first one that's lift, uh, list is brain leaves or brain leaf.

So, uh, if you remember the Catachan, no, not the Catachan, the fauna episode way back.

I think we're talking, like, sub episode 100.

... a couple of new updates for some, for some model ranges.

Give me my Catachan Jungle Fighters back as new models, and update some of these older stuff and I think they're an easy five.

I'm glad you ignored what I said.

Yeah, I had to, all right? For the sake of the people.

They've got the tank side of things.

They got the Krieg artillery side of things.

Heck, Recon Force, which was this Catachan infantry jail play style, has just come down from 3DP to 2DP.

Oh.

You can dial the reality shift way past 11 as long as there are some hints of the Earth that was that still remain or of the planet you started with that still remain.

If you just want to make different colored Catachan jungle fighters and you want to change the world's name from Catachan to something else, you can either do just that, just what I said.

You call it positronic.

Positronic world.

Mm-hmm.

So you could land on a, like, a Catachan.

That could be really cool.

S- a planet like Catachan.

Uh, isolated feudal world locked in low-tech warfare.

Ross, I think you like the Lion a lot.

Yeah.

Um, let's talk about the Catachans.

There's a lot of-

The Canadians.

[laughs]

They're the Ca- Well, Canadian, or Cadians, we're often called Canadians.

Catachans, um, these guys are basically space Vietnam.

They really are.

Mm-hmm.

It, it's, it's a lot more like wild unpleasant than Warhammer unpleasant, but, you know, it's, it's like Catachan almost.

Not the specifics, but it's like, you know, everything on Catachan is natural, but it's extremely shit and turned up to 11.

That's kind of the mountains of Morr for like a mountain range.

Are the Yetis-

Keep up.

Keep up.

People talk about the worst places to live in Warhammer, Komra, Catachan.

[laughs] You know, okay, I'm a man of a certain age, and I was working at Games Workshop back in, uh, 2004, 2003, whenever the fr- the, the Cadians first came out in plastic.

And, uh, let, let's just say I, you know, I have fond memories of that time, because Cadians were, like, amazing, and they were the newest plastic kit, and they were replacing all these metal Praetorians and Atalan and Mortions that we'd had up to that point, so, [laughs] but, uh, it was them and Catachans were the only ones in plastic for basically forever, it feels like now.

It's, it's 24 years later.

Since that edition, yeah.

Yeah.

Those poor Catachans are still on the shelf.

[laughs] So, uh, who am I? I am Ross Watson.

I am a game designer and author.

But then I found Astra Militarum.

Sorry, I found Catachan and then, and then I forgot pretty much everything else since then, [smacks lips] um, until they screwed over the Catachan.

Fuck them, fuck them.

[laughs] Um, so that's the specialist view.

Yet.

[laughs] Um, I, uh, I guess for me, 'cause I've got a, a mixture, I've got, you know, the harder ones of Death Guard, um, with their bit more resilient, Salamanders, and Thousand Sons with the power armor there.

But then I've got the T-shirt wearing Catachans, Sicarii, um, which, you know, very fragile.

But then I've got the other one with the Chaos Knights who aren't as fragile, but limited numbers on the table.

Seriously

... for probably multiple years, just to tell me, "Stream late due to Hal cranking his cock to Xenos filth on Catachan."

[laughs]

Thank you, man.

Mortifactors are primitives a lot of the time, and they are quite a mess with their home world.

So, uh, just jungle.

Not quite as bad as Catachan, I believe, but-

Mm
