The race works. No problems here!
The race works, but it needs a few tweaks.
Hmm... Try looking at a few more sources. There are quite a few holes here.
Ooh... Not looking good... Maybe go back and rethink most of it; too many holes.

You know what Blitzkrieg is, right? It means lightning war in German.

Currently attempting to put together a homebrew non-canon Space Marine chapter. If I can be bothered to getting around to painting the models and putting the things together of course...

Firstly, unless your Lynx are now fluent in German, avoid using it. Secondly, it has nothing to do with having quicker reflexes; Blitzkrieg is used to describe a style of warfare, and should not be used to represent how the Lynx have slightly faster reflexes than other races.

Take my rule's name, for example: 'Feline Grace' is a perfectly apt name because they're felines of sorts, and felines are known for being quicker and more graceful, hence Fleet and MTC, as well as the charge re-roll.

Blitzkrieg does not really infer anything to do with the above, or slightly faster movement on foot. To most people it represents a war being fought with swift, powerful strikes, not a race being a bit quicker off the mark. Any race can partake in blitzkrieg warfare, so it doesn't even have any originality to it, whereas feline grace would be pretty much unique to the Lynx.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

Plus, Blitzkrieg tactics generally are performed with heavily mechanized forces. We haven't seen much in the way of combat vehicles from the Lynx.

And we hopefully won't. They don't sound like a race which would make sense getting all meched up

The few vehicles I do intend to include are A. All walkers and B. Not very reliable. They may just end up blasting your force to pieces as much as they'll do to the enemy.

That's good stuff, noobbomb.
I do already have an army list, somewhere in the depths of my hard drive, I just need some time to find it. Just an note as well; Civil's are going to be considerably more powerful than ferals. Ferals you would use for lower point battles or if you're a beginner, Civils are for high point battles (1000+) and players who know their rulebook back to front. Ferals are much more reliable and steadfast, whilst Civils can be unpredictable. One particular rule can result in you losing quite a few of your squad if you have bad luck on the dice, but they make up for that with inv saves and psychic powers.
Standard Lynx weapon: Lancer
Fires long spikes of adamantium that are honed to a monomolecular point. Though sharp enough to cut through most known armour with ease, they can't deal very much damage due to the fact they are fired at subsonic speeds. The method used to propel the spikes is a scaled down version of a linear accelerator, which also reduces distance from the dampened needed to prevent the recoil from breaking the user's arm.

Not going to lie, little worried about what you have hiding in your hard drive. If it's anything like the original Lynx fluff ideas, it's straight to the bin.

Also, not sure about really having any vehicles at all, unless they were unpiloted. Like Wraithlords, but without being like wraithlords - full artificial intelligence. Perhaps they found that (remnants from the old ones maybe?) and slaved it into machines or something along those lines.

Pretre: OOOOHHHHH snap. That's like driving away from hitting a pedestrian.

Oh no. The fluff may be terrible, granted, but the actual army was decent. Mind you, it only contained Civils and I haven't managed to down-tune them yet. Ferals need to be added and a lot of units are going to be added, removed and edited.
Vehicles with artificial intelligence? Original idea was a psychic controller (pretty much a daemon), but that's probably not going to make it in.

Agreed.

Maybe some "flat-bed" trucks, basic, but not Ork basic. But honestly, I suggest that Vehicles be cut entirely.

Daemon engines do sound cool though. Admit it. They would be pretty awesome. I had a rather humorous image of a just-bound daemon (Angel?) inside walker accidentally smashing out of the side of a warehouse. It was funny at the time.

No.

If it's and ordered warp being, it's going to be too Eldar, if it's Daemon as in Chaos Daemons, then again no.

You said they weren't Chaos, don't make such a massive change now.
