Changes

Beastmen are known to have first appeared during the [[Age of Strife]].{{Fn|8}} At some point in their ancestry they merged with animal strains. In general they have cloven hooves, digitigrade legs (legs that appear to be backwards jointed, like the hind legs of a goat) and faces that resemble animals. Their arms and hands are usually similar to a standard humans, allowing them to use human weapons and tools.{{Fn|6}}

They were formerly recruited for the [[Imperial Guard]], where they were valued mainly for their bloodlust; they fought for the Emperor in order to atone for their sin of being born [[mutant]]s. They were led by Beastmen called '''Packmasters'''.{{Fn|7}} However, Beastmen are no longer seen in Imperial service. They are now subject to severe Imperial persecution and have been placed on the '''Register of Proscribed Citizens (Class A-G worlds)''' by the [[Adeptus Arbites]]. As such, they are effectively precluded from settlement on, or transportation to or from, more than three hundred thousand worlds of the Imperium and are forbidden from being conscripted as an [[Imperial Tithe]] obligation. {{Fn|4}} These restrictions are a sure sign that Beastmen will soon lose their abhuman status completely and will be reclassified as true mutants[[Xenos Horrificus]] and marked for eradication.{{Fn|46}}
