"*Fear, mortals of the dying Imperium, it is FLOPPA FRIDAY!*"
— Unknown Caracal Warriors Heretic Astartes
The **Caracal Warriors** are a Chaos Warband, originating from an unknown Space Marine Chapter, though their ferocious tendencies have some to believe they are from Space Wolves' lineage. They believe that there is a cat, the fifth chaos god, named Floppa, whom the God-Emperor has chained up in His halls, and is the power source of the Astronomican, and they believe it is their duty to release Floppa and unleash 'The Age of Flopping' upon the cosmos. For the most part, however, they are adherents of Chaos Undivided, combining the ferociousness of Khorne, the laziness of Nurgle, the insanity of Tzeentch and the... lasciviousness of Slaanesh, but they don't consider them gods, at least, not gods as worthy as Floppa. They also have a great disdain of authority, especially the Imperium, and want to see it burn.

They live on a dusty, semi-arid planet called Ruul, which is the home of the Kara'kal, a big feline with sabre teeth, mustard-brown fur with large black-furred ears which 'flop'. The Caracal Warriors have tamed these beasts, but in turn adopted their style, both with the colour of their armour, wearing pelts fashioned and dyed in the style of the Kara'kal. They do have to import them from other warbands, however, as they don't wanna hurt any Kara'kal. Their tactics are built around raiding and close-combat, tearing through the enemy in a wave of violence, with heavily-armoured melee units making up their front-line. They also have a special drink which they call 'Fan'ter', processed from combining herbs of the planet, the natural water and a little bit of warp sorcery, it creates a concoction which allows them to tap into a greater state of being, and communicate with the great Floppa. It tastes nice though.

## Combat Doctrine

The Caracal Warriors rely on heavy melee units in raids and strikes. They also bring Kara'kal into battle as monstrous flankers.

## Warband Beliefs

They believe in the almighty Floppa, whom they believe is the fifth, and only true god of Chaos trapped in the body of a caracal cat, a species of wildcat from Terra, back when Terra had wildlife. They believe the only reason the Emperor of Mankind ever got powerful was through enslaving and binding the caracal cat to his will, and chaining him up. They believe it is their sworn duty to free Floppa and unleash Floppa unto the cosmos, bringing about an age of either darkness or gold or whatever they don't actually care about what will happen if they do it, they only care about doing it.

They hold regular feasts on Fridays. Small issue being that they tend to feast on people.

## Warband Appearance

### Warband Colours

The Caracal Warriors have mainly a brown-mustard colour motif on their power armour, but is inlaid with black and white decals on the helmet, typically in the style of a caracal cat. They also have creamish-white on their abdomen.

They also make use of pelts, not from the Kara'kal they're bonded with, but from imports.
