Meeting the Felinids
On the non-joke side, you would expect them to be actual humans, possibly very hairy or similar to TES Khajiit, since their name is Homo sapiens hirsutus (hirsutus = hairy), so they kinda should be similar to humans. There is a theory that explains why abhumans suddenly started evolving animal traits, as in some guys from Dark Age Of Technology were obssesed (which also kinda explains Fenrisian wolves, as there were no wolves on Fenris originally and it's implied that (at least first ones) were humans once), and wanted to be more kitty... this sadly makes them possible to be a race of catgirls (10% furry), very cat-like humans (50% furry), Khajiit (70% furry) or talking cats (100% furry), so nothing is certain after all.
EDIT:
Also, /tg/ being /tg/, they made rules for them to use on tabletop. One of their special ones makes them take a pinning test after they're shoot by laser weaponry, because they're distracted by shiny dot.

That's fortunate.
So we already know what will be our most important project next year.

You would think that there would be small "buffer zones" between them, like savannas, hills, forests, stuff like that.

WE are kroot.
Thanks to this I now have a mental image of herbivore Kroot that looks like a tree and is a part of Rogue Trader crew which also consists of small Skaven (any fitting beastman really, if something that is called Felinids and is implied to be furries Khajiit in space can be canon, space Racoons proably can too) obssessed with firearms, ork (or maybe really buffy Khorne cultist? Rogue traders work with everything they can) and a Callidus assasin.

I enjoyed the Grimdark myself, but I don't mind the newer point of the setting as well.
If only people who enjoyed Grimdark FB weren't left on ice.
Also the Storm of Chaos and End Times and whatever would work if someone actually succeeded at something, instead of failing all the time because Grimdark.

Thats surprisingly good for a paint drawing.
Well, it was Paint.net so I think that explains it.

Well...I think Wounds were what they used at Warhammer world? They basically want you to be fair to each other or something.
Nothing enforces that except maybe for enemy player willingness to play with you.
Which can be compared to this, except with every piece costing money. A lot of it.

I honestly don't mind the setting change from grimdark to something that allows for everyone to actually fight it a bit without it always being on the peak of utter destruction in five minutes. I didn't see anything saying they would support Old World at all though.
The thing is that nothing was really on peak of utter destruction until End Times and stuff like that, everything was in balance before. And the game being grimdark was one of major selling points for some people at least, but apparently today people are bored with it and preffer Noblebright that makes you vomit.
And there was saying they will support Old World, as there are vidya games in it (Total Warhammer), but they proably aren't going to do it anyway. At least it doesn't look like it.

I would want to see a AAR of multiple Paradox Games through ages, with longest timeline possible, but I think that by end of first (would it be CK2 or we had something before that could be converted to CK2?) game the world would be too broken to really work in later ones.

Though at the same time, I'm not going to argue there is some incredibly dumb things there are in the lore (though plenty of dumb things in the previous as well). Though some of it was intentional for the rules, But could have been communicated in a much better fashion that they were intended to be silly instead of baffling people with riding/talking horses.
Well, don't get me wrong, the thing is that they replaced FB with something almost completly different (Muh grimdark peasants ;-; ) and dropped support (despite saying they wont) of Old World. It could be okay as a new, smaller spin-off FB, but it's horrible as a replacement (it literally stopped being Grimdark, which is core trait of Warhammer, and became Noblebright) and it was pulled off in a horrible manner. But hey, there were signs (as early as removal of Squats from 40k) that warned us that this may come one day. I fear that next thing they're going to make is to change 40k (put a finger to your enemy head and say BLAM loudly to pass leadership check!) significantly, and if they do... oh boy, there will be shitstorms.

Do PDF actually do anything? Do they slow down progression of enemies or fight them off their worlds, or are they just there to be numbers for you to look at and go 'yep, they're dead as fuck.'
They seem to slow progression down, but they're just PDFs. Also they fall to Chaos somehow I think. Never really paid any attention to them, which shows how important they are really.

I think the point of that post was that some people disagree with that new medieval Warhammer expansion.
Not some people, but a lot of them. Also it's not expansion, they "ended" (like, in End Times) old Warhammer FB and replaced it with new one that is dumbed down, has rules that make your army better if you're acting like an idiot, added retarded names for everything (just because some of old ones couldn't be copyrighted) and is generally dash for money.
EDIT: Oh, and it slaughtered previous lore and new one tends to lack any sense.

More like some people screaming very , very loudly.
The louder you are, the more right you are. Duh.

They stand no chance (I made it in Paint, I know it's bad. Also, based on some renders from somewhere in OOC thread).
I propose that next year we design parachutes for safe tiger delivery.

Stop. Think about what you just said. Think about who you were speaking of.

But enough about spiritual lieges, Is joining Chaos worth the effort right now? What do we get out of it?
I know what I'm saying. This just proves how retarded that is.

Also I don't think that there is anything you get YET, maybe except that you no longer have to bother with hiding all your shiny spiky daemonic armor.

instead of the usual interesting early and mid game with the lategame just being next turn and doomfleets all around.

Or in the case of MoO 2, one doomship which can destroy entire fleets and worlds on its own.
