IMHO they are slightly "out of flavor" for an IG force. Considering
that some people may actually enjoy using them, I propose to cut them
from the main codex and leave for some special IG regiment (Elysian
Drop Troops? Catachans? Cadians? We will see later...)

>These have been in there since Armies of the Imeprium box + how can
anything be out of flavour for an army that includes units from every human
world that doesn't raise a SM chapter and then has to fight in every form
of
terrain and climatic condition. I say leave them in there.

Any 1/300 figures of normal- sized non-human figures from fantasy or
SF ranges could be substitutes.

These are CHAOS. Remove from the IG army (Heresy! Heresy!).

-----> No, no, no!!! They have been ingrained into the NetEpic game now, we
write our fluff on a tangent to the Games Workshop fluff, and besides many
of us IG players have Beastmen companies and would be loath to lose them.
Lets not do a GW and phase out units please.


> AS above Beastmen have been in there since Armies of the Imperium and
each
planet has its own method of dealing with its mutant population the
beastman
company is a easy way of representing the various groups of abhuman that
have not completely settled into a true species.
