As far as I'm aware the only ones I've ever seen are for Rogue Trader and can be found in the Compendium, so well before any present day incarnation of 40k.

In Rogue Trader they are M4 WS4 BS3 S3 T4 I3 A1 Ld7 Int6 Cl7 WP6 and are 75pts for a squad of 10 with mesh armour and 2 hand weapons, then there's a ton of upgrades I won't write here.

I think there were stats in post-RT 40K, at least up to the first edition published under the 40K name. And there were the models too.

I think they were included in 2nd Edition as auxilliaries to the Imperial Guard (part of the black and white booklet/army list in the game box - the name escapes me (Codex Imperialis?)).

They're also in the Codex Chaos for 2nd Edition, page 136.

M4, WS4, BS3, S3, T4, W2, I3, A1, Ld7

5-20 in a unit, come with club or axe and 6+ save for 15 points. Can add a shield for +1 point and any model can take weapons from the assault weapon list (stuff like chainsword, chain-axe, double-handed weapon, laspistol, autopistol, bolt pistol, hand flamer, stub gun etc.).

That should be it, Codex Imperialis.

There have been a few iterations of Beastmen across the years. The last mainstream 40k version I rmeember was in a White Dwarf list probably two or three editions back.

The latest version which is written for the current rules is in the Horus Heresy book five Tempest from Forgeworld where the militia and cults list can be given a variety of options to do everything from Mechanicus forgeworld to Feral beast cult including Guard Beastmen. The rules use a basic guard list and you can then buy options to reflect your force. The main Beastman option, Abhuman Helots, gives +1 toughness and -1 initiative. On top of at yu n get options for gene mutants and hand to haneapons.

They had the two wounds which made them awesome.

Considering how paper-thin power armour was, the 2 Wounds alone made them a better deal for the 15 points than Space Marines in 2nd Edition!

Still, love my 2e Space Marines. The last, best version of them (along with Rogue Trader Space Marines, who were also quite cool).
