And you've just helped to write the lore of my still unnamed chapter. I think I'll go with the renegade angle (they're cats after all), that way they can fight against anyone at any time (which fits nicely since I play OPR, which is flexible in regards to lore). Thanks!

Also I had no idea that catpeople were really in the canon. That'll show all the chuds who doubted me!

I'm not so sure about the lore yet, I picked the colour scheme because I liked it without really thinking about existing chapters. Right now they're a remnant from the relatively "tolerant" days of the Great Crusade who are loyal to an Imperium that doesn't exist anymore (or never existed) and only recently resurfaced in the galaxy because cats are good at hiding and now fight against both Chaos and the current Imperium. I guess being linked to the Dark Angels would be possible, or maybe just their founder was. Or maybe they thought Lion El'Johnson was a real lion and picked the colours to honour the big cat. The more important thing is that they have catgirls and catboys and that I love them and that they fight for the Catperor.
