                because there are two camps in 40k: one believes it's more or less a static setting to set your stories in, and other that believes setting itself is a story that can be advanced with major milestones. latter current is winning at the moment.

                finally an intelligent answer. I guess i'm in the latter. you can always just pretend it's still 40k instead of 42k when you make up stories if you dont want primaris in your stories.

              The point is the Imperium never gets new shit. The Mechanicum regard innovation as heresy and kill people for it. So Primaris, altering not just technology but the Space marines, the work of a literal god, would be unforgivable

              Secondly literally pulling armies out of your ass is just bad storytelling

              The way games stores work they wouldn't let you play that way with your old models and you'd be relegated to playing on your kitchen table. Part of the fun of it is establishing your own guys, which some people had literally been doing for 30 years, only to be told your guys aren't cool anymore and there's some new guys way better. It's like if you were reading a superman comic and the author introduces Superman's oider brother who is more handsome, stronger and better in every way.

                I can see these as potential story arcs in the future, much like how Gillyboi is also doing 'heresies' against the ecclesiarchy. more strife, potential flashpoints to create new stories and new heroes, etc. they're fricking this up though, they havent advanced the story at all and now it would probably land like a wet fart. either way these are good points.

            It's a sci fi setting where secret science experiments by shady robot people with no concern for scientific ethics are conducted all over the place. easy to imagine that some guy was working on a gene mod for astartes in some basement somewhere. custodes can easily keep being the bestest besty boiz i see no problem. sounds like you're mad at change. not a very convincing argument.

      The Witcher wasn't ruined by studio meddling, it was ruined by a showrunner and writer team with zero passion for the source material that thought they could make something better.

          >That wasn't true at all. They also made Cowboy bebop
          Which had a completely different creative team and showrunner than One Piece. Netflix studio heads have very little influence on the creative side. They basically give money to a project and gives the people involved a deadline. That's why streaming content is so uneven and why Amazon can have great shows like Reacher and then real stinkers like the LotR shitshow. Or Netflix having shows like One Piece and Squid Game and then shitshows like Witcher and Cowboy Bebop.

          I'm really not worried about Amazon trying to take creative control away from Cavill and the team since that's not really what they do.

        The problem with Orks is how much CGI would be needed to go into them, and unlike marines they're a teeming horde and not a small group of elites so you'd have a lot more onscreen at any given time. They're probably going to focus around a standard chaos uprising because you can just carve chaos symbols on the imperial guard costumes and have a scene full of extras ready to go in 10 seconds.

Space Marines are the most popular army and 2nd place isn't even close, and these wokies are tourists who probably never even heard of SoB until the 40k project landed on their desks so they will take one look at the franchise and think "how can we fix the Space Marines and make them more inclusive?"

    I don't bother with tabletop and have zero hope for this succeeding but I wish ultramarines weren't the fricking poster child for everything space marine or Imperium related when it comes to 40K. Not only are there other chapters available to be explored, but also entire aspects of the Imperium. Maybe that's for the best, I don't know. I just know it would probably be way easier to make a quality movie or show that was narrowly focused on one small part of the galaxy rather than trying to capture its entirety in a single piece of media, which is basically impossible.

    They could do a commissar buddy cop investigating a hive city chaos cult. A Band of Brothers-esque take on guardsmen fighting off an ork invasion. An inquisitor and his entourage solving some conspiracy. It would be far easier for the audience to connect with characters than actually looked and sounded human instead of these hulking gods that are autistically perfect.

      In the books there's nigs everywhere because they're xenophobic in that they hate aliens, not humans.

      Still, pretty much all of the major characters are white, so they will inevitably raceswap most of them since they can't make any of the marines women. I guess they could be dicks and make the Emperor a black woman or something

      If they want the white people to be the evil raycissts they could always make the mutants be brown and try and make them the good guys. That would fricking suck though

            The Grand Tactician is very detailed and realistic, so if you don't like boring things regarding supply lines, politics, adjusting arms or technology while battles are very long you might want to play simpler RTS games from that era

      Eisenhorn trilogy is undoubtedly the best entry into 40k. It's one of the reasons people are predicting Cavill will play Eisenhorn.

    surely after amazon saw how disliked the witcher was after a major departure from established lore, they will let cavill and other autists make it lore accurate and not gay, right?

      The good thing about 40k is that the setting is so big that just about any story you want to tell can theoretically be within the lore. Unless they start fricking with foundational shit, they have a pretty wide berth to do whatever they want.
      On the other hand, the people working at/with Amazon have a great track record of fricking shit up.

      They clearly gave Pratt and the Reacher Chad enough leeway to make something for Herero white males. Cavill being exec producer bodes well for the shows potential.

        Checked and yes. The Roman Catholic upbringing is also a good hint of how understanding of the current situation were experiencing globally. I would bet this is produced with a similar lack of DEI homosexualry as we see with Terminal List and Reacher.

    The best way to do this would be a weekly anthology with the occasional multipart and a few recurring characters, like Cavill as an Inquisitor or something. Would keep costs down and plots interesting.
