A fairly p*rny Jungle Fighter (Patreon)

Hey all,

Again a bit late, but here's another entry for our WH40K deadly gals series. This time something relatively mundane again, a regular woman. Or well, an action babe.

Because this particular lady belongs to the Catachan Jungle fighters, an Imperial Guard regiment hailing from the planet Catachan, renowned for their prowess at guerilla warfare in the dark, damp, and hot jungles from across the galaxy. And for being sheer unmitigated badasses down to the last (wo)man.

If Cadians, the "standard" Imperial Guard are styled after WWII era warfare with tanks, gunlines, trenches, and dogfighting up in the air, then the Catachans are definitely styled after the Vietnam war, Rambo style. Helicopters, napalm, and sexual Tyrannosaurus is their name, It ain't me, machetes, and camo facepaint is their game. There even is a Rambo equivalent in 40K, called Sly Marbo, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM. Rumour has it his battle cry alone can freeze any foe with sheer terror, crumple tanks, knock spacecrafts out of the sky, decapitate random bystanders, sunder walls, and fold the fabric of spacetime into itself as he AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA's his way through the battlefield.

That's a meme by the way, none of that's true.

Well, except for the name.

But yes, that's the Catachans, picture the cast of the predator movie+Rambo and you've basically got that army down to a T.

Their homeworld also kinda refers back to the previous upload, as Catachan is also a deathworld. But instead of a barren irradiated wasteland. It is an entire planet covered in the densest, hottest, deadliest jungle imaginable. Like Australia and the Amazon rainforest had a child and that child was fed nothing but steroids as it grew up. Everything there wants you dead, and is very much capable of following through on that. This ensures that only the strongest of the strong survive there. Which is why the planet breeds such excellent, if situational, soldiers. Their style of combat isn't well suited for all battlefields of course, but when they're in their element, they're exceptionally effective. When they're not they're just... regular effective. Because while you can take the Catachan out of the jungle, you can't take the bad-ass out of a Catachan. They'll still kick ass and take names.

SoCarter out.
