Yeah but they’re the most accessible to normies. Try having your first entry be a game of literal 4D chess between two Necron lords or something and see how that’ll go over
>Yeah but they’re the most accessible to normies.
They're not at all, Guard or Inquisition would be, Astartes are fricking freaks with inhuman psychology.
Accepting the Southpark challenge, the liberal feminist writers will make the Emperor a chick, as well as all of the Primarchs. The only male (or white) Primarchs are of the Traitor Legions.
Bet against me. They are going to gay this shit up like you can't believe. You know I'm right.
They hand out the license. People making the games still have to comply with GWs rules. Total War: Warhammer for example can't make any units up that didn't have model or unit entry unless they get GWs express permission and are not allowed to use End Times stuff at all.
It'll be Eisenhorn. There's been a show already announced a few years back but stuck in a development hell.
Makes sense as well: >books are universally considered to be some of the best in the entire 40k line >Einsenhorn is a badass but still a normal human, not some unrealatble Space Marine >while it's action packed, there are not many huge set pieces and most of the action sequences are chases and small shootouts: much more budget friendly than huge battles >Eisenhorn is an ideal vehicle for exposition as he's a knowledgable Inquisitor who surrounds himself with a team of rag-tag random schmucks he can be explaing the setting to, and you don't want to alienate the audience with the first project
No Henry Cavill is to zealous to let anyone else frick up the roles so every character is just him in different outfits.

At this point Idris Elba as Eisenhorn would be a victory for the alt-right.

Kubrick was interested in one of the most juvenile IPs in existence?
Not really. The Cinemaphile story has grown from the original nugget of truth which was something like Kubrick was working with Watson and Kubrick asked him for a bunch of his recent books, which included Space Marine.
Yeah, this is no doubt what held them up. Amazon wanted total freedom, GW wanted total control. They've had to wrangle some kind of mutually acceptable structure which lawyers on both sides are happy to sign off on. >Games Workshop and Amazon will work together for a period of 12 months to agree creative guidelines for the films and television series to be developed by Amazon. The agreement will only proceed once the creative guidelines are mutually agreed between Games Workshop and Amazon.
Sounds like the solution they're going for is some kind of lore-bible which Amazon isn't allowed to deviate from, presumably as an impediment to female space marines, or to stop Amazon from deciding to make half the primarchs black, that kind of thing. Don't be fooled into thinking this will keep the thing from getting pozzed though, GW's written output is full of strong women and melanated space vikings these days, it'll just mean that they can't make any changes which frick with the established setting and background.
>we have made a deal, and now, year later, we have made that deal even more solid
Cavill will die of an old age by the moment theyll start pre-production.
They've spent a year with lawyers arguing, and the product is an agreement to spend a year with creatives arguing. We're still a long way out from anything appearing.
>to stop Amazon from deciding to make half the primarchs black
I would imagine they're not allowed to touch existing named characters except for references, or do anything that impacts/contradicts the lore, they'll have to come up with their own gays
Historically, GW was extremely paranoid about creating their own competition. Back in the 90s they were careful about computer games that could model the game rules exactly. Toy licensing was also something they were very worried about, they didn't want to sign the rights to a film company that then produces a board game of the movie that's more popular than their tabletop games, or figurines that out sell their own kits.
They started taking a shotgun approach to Vidya in the late 00's, but are still pretty strict about how the IP is portrayed. That's why you can't bang a sister of battle in Rogue Trader, and why they don't really let game devs make up their own new aliens or special units.
there's sob on administratum clerk (implied) sex in one of the cain books, never mind how they were literally made to be a harem. they also keep going back to their roots. half the time, you see a SOB, she's doing some kind of treason, exactly like you'd expect a faction literally born out of treason to behave. they should be acting like prostitutes all the time as well for the same reason.
>They started taking a shotgun approach to Vidya in the late 00's, but are still pretty strict about how the IP is portrayed
They seemed to have buddied up pretty tight with Fatshark though. Pretty much everything in Vermintide and Darktide is in the wider canon now.
Nah, they're still absolutely schizo when it comes to Fatshark. Most infamous example was when Fatshark wanted the Warrior Priest career to have a flail as a weapon, but GW fervently denied it saying that there have never been any Warrior Priest models that have flails, so Fatshark compromised by giving the Warrior Priest a flail AND shield which is accurate to one of the models. Fatshark is also not allowed to have any palette swaps for any of the characters as well. This is all for an IP they neglected for decades and canonically had destroyed btw, so 40K must be a nightmare to make anything outside of the immediate canon for.
>hey arent you excited to see a franchise based around grimdark have positive messages about diversity and heroism and other capeshit?!
No. Seeing this has only further cemented my feelings that any 40k content is going to be insanely shit.
40k has existed for at least 30 years now. In that time it hasn't produced a single game, or book, that isn't shit. Even if we weren't in the era of ESG. It's guaranteed that this will be shit.

This time it's NOT going to be shit. In fact I'd bet real money that whatever movies or shows they make are going to be of a surprisingly high standard. Why? Because WH40 shit is "their" last hail Mary to popularize a franchise with a strong pro military theme to it. >"b-but Warhammer shows the shortcomings of an organized religious/militaristic society! Its satire and not to be taken at face value!" says the fat virgin
NO ONE CARES. Both the fans and the average normies is just gonna see it as badass easily marketable chapters of space Marines killing xenoes, and in the minds of the less bright ones, think "maybe joining the military isn't that bad".

actually if you go to their website its clearly part of the 30k series
and if you were to actually read the horus heresy you would understand in 30k its really not the big power shitting competition that it is in 40k
idiot
Horus Heresy is just capeshit. All good parts of 40k setting were ripped off from Dune.
you havent read any of the horus heresy >All good parts of 40k setting were ripped off from Dune.
based cant wait for them to make a masterpiece like dune part 1
they should get Villeneuve on the team
Physical. The latest pile is on the floor because there's no more room in my bookshelves. And I have eight of the Siege of Terra Limited edition books. I can't be bothered to count all of my WH40K books because there are so many in my house.
lmao at all the secondaries getting angry at this post
if you don't play the actual game but instead read shitty books or play shitty video game adaptations you're a bigger tourist than trannies that paint their space marines rainbow colors
They ditched most/all of the product crew responsible for the first two seasons of MitHC. Some new suit took over at that time and she started pushing all the ESG shit into WoT, The Expanse and LotR too.
>don't watch it then, simple as.
it's not tho
the same thing that happened to marvel would happen to 40k
if the movie adaptation of the character is the one most people are familiar with they will backport it to the rest of the setting
I was looking forward to the last thing they made because i wanted to see the story of the nun from 9ed trailer and then i looked at a clip of the new show and she didn't look the same and I realized... look what they fricking did
but that is not that nun. also she dies fricking horriby. that show really ramps up hard. first episode is mediocre, but everything after that is awesome. the sound design kicks serious ass.
I've not read any of them, but these were pretty well received and still pretty grimdark despite being for kids. This one has a whole planet's worth of people getting killed, the one about the Tau is unapologetically xenophobic. If anything it's the books for adults which indulge in more lore-raping wokism.
GW might pander a bit to woke morons with small concessions and stuff that would be hard to criticise without being labelled racist or whatever but they know that nerds no matter the skin color will get up in arms if they introduce fem marines. It would probably be the most moronic move ever on their part and they seem to understand this to an extend
Is this the one Henry Cavill is working on? I wish it all the best. It's one of the few adaptations that I actually care about, I hope it's great and successful, not for my sake though, but for Henry's. If he stars in yet another IP he loves that gets butchered I'm afraid he might do something drastic.
You have so much to live for, Henry!
And Tolkien had explicitly stated that Galadriel was happily married to Celeborn for thousands of years, but that didn't stop Amazon having her pop ladyboners for Sauron.
>GW has explicitly stated there are no feeeeeeeemale astartes.
Sorry to break your bubble but i am willing to bet my left nut that inside 10 years there WILL be female spacemarines, and they will be stronger and better than every other spacemarine.
Reasoning is simple, w40k is already a woke cringe fiesta containing Black folk, gays, lesbians, transvestites, stronk womenx etc. If you can stomach it, read the latest books, siege of terra series perhaps, and the "message" is clear.
Also as amazon is the company who managed to piss away a billion dollar Lord of The rings franchise to Black folk for diversity points, it does not take any kinda leap of faith that any 40k series/movies will be woke shit and yes, containing female "spacemarines of color" for some ultra ESG points.
To put is as simply as i can: In order for female spacemarines not to happen, entire Amazon and Games Workshop leadership has to be replaced within next year or so, before production.
While it might be on much smaller scale, Amazon also recently willingly tanked a niche anime mmo that already wasn't doing so hot in the east, Blue Protocol. One that would've released at the same time as it did in the east before they delayed for another year for more "localization" (i.e. censoring the shit out of the small appeal it had and blackwashing npcs like they did with another mmo not long ago, Lost Arc).
If Amazon is involved in this there is very high chance it will be pozzed to hell and back and then they will probably pretend it was a massive success and everyone loved it anyway, even if the numbers tank and people forget it exists after the first few episodes when everyone becomes wise to it, just like what happened with RoP.
>But who am I kidding, like they'll respect the lore at all.
Cavill will. He left the Witcher because they were wokie pigs. He made sure he had an executive producer role in this project so that everything has to go through him, and failing that, it has to go through GW's people, and we know there are at least some GW insiders that are anti-woke and have leaked that they will never allow female marines to exist as long as they still have authority within the company.
This is going to be Godawful and you know it, and will lead to the final conquest of the IP by normies. Canon never moved past 4th ed as far as I'm concerned.
If GW is anything it's being anal retentive about protecting their property. Or at least they were until now when deals involving big bux may become possible.
Wont be good.
Whole Warhammer stuff is just literally a saturday cartoon show to sell over-prized toys to over-sized children. There's no interesting stories or conflicts to explore.
I've played the game for 30 years.
It's a good setting for heroic battles, but ultimately completely void of drama, the few books I've tried to read are complete schlock, and I've played Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader too.
Because the setting is lukewarm at best.
There is no original ideas, and there are no real consequence of anything, there's no real evil in the hearts of men and all bad is simply mustache-whirling Cobra Commander shit.
>Because the setting is lukewarm at best.

There are no interesting stories since every vice a human being can develop, ultimately can be blamed on a supernatural force he has no power to withstand (Except when he is the Master-Exalted Big Boss Guy who killed 16 Demondudes in a single combat).
The setting only works on a big scale, perfect for a wargame.

in what other major settings do demon possession feature as a regular thing?
Female marines are the most angering as it was done so that they don’t become their own race and have to parasitically serve humanity to get incipients
Well you can, GDUBs want you to paint your models however you want, they won't be lore accurate but why care? It's really because this guy wants to be pandered to like the people he is complaining about.
1st of all why would I want a female space marine to cook for me when a regular woman can cook just find?
2nd, lmao at that radhorn homosexual, imagine how many basedboy shouting selfies he has posted. His comment: 8 likes. The other guy 100+ lol.
Finally, will agree with everyone, this haircut immediately makes me dislike the character. And it always means the same personality.
I almost want to throw a hand grenade into one of these Twitter threads by posting an image of two identical Space Marines and saying one is male, the other is female. Even if such a thing were allowed for by lore, which it isn’t, after the decades of surgeries, hormone procedures, gene therapy and other frickery Astartes undergo they’d look identical to the male Marines anyway. These miserable fricks just won’t admit they just want strong Tumblrinas in power armour as a masturbation/submission fantasy.
>These miserable fricks just won’t admit they just want strong Tumblrinas in power armour as a masturbation/submission fantasy.
but that's just the sisters of battle
Not strong enough. They’re just regular women in power armour. They need superhumans with sidecuts to fit their warped lefty ideal of how women in fiction should be.
the only reason GW diddnt make girl marines is because the first 2 they made diddnt sell well.
i bought some though, and some jump packs for them as they looked awsome behind their skinny bodies
>it won't sell well
In [current year] that's as much a reason to do something as anything else. If it doesn't sell well they get to b***h, moan, and whine about how sweaty basement dwellers are moronic, sexist right-wingers, and destroying everything.
>the only reason GW diddnt make girl marines is because the first 2 they made diddnt sell well.
Historical revisionism, they never made any at all dumbass. Those were female adventurers in power armour, who were intended to be Sisters of Battle, the lore that said marines can only be male was already printed and published before those models even fricking came out. Dumbasses misinterpreted some line from one of the old GW guys talking about female models thinking he meant female marines, he was talking about the pre-40k models for Fantasy and shit, saying females AS A WHOLE didn't sell well, so when it came time to start producing 40k and marines, they didn't even make any to begin with, ever.
That same lore has been reprinted as recently as the new Horus Heresy game, it's not going anywhere, and woke ideology is losing lately in case you haven't noticed, if GW started developing female marines TODAY then the trend for woke shit in media will already be over by the time they could release them.
Leftoid trannies fricking lost and are in decline.
If I, as a 30-something British man introduced to GW by my father at age 5, have to listen to another soibearded American hipster c**t lecture me on how 40k is and always was an epic leftist takedown of Margaret Thatcher-era conservatism I’m actually going to start killing them.
>Moaning about ESG potential. >Poe-faced seriousness about what was originally intended as satire. >Oblivious to the fact all their spacemarine books are some of the most homoerotic fiction ever published.
he didn't really know what it was he just worked with a writer who made one of the early 40k books and expressed interest in it due to professional curiosity more than anything else
It'll be reasonably easy to make the Imperium look at worst to be the lesser of two evils, especially if they steer clear of the more extreme aspects like the Black Templars.
And then having them face against something that either can be shown as obviously evil like Chaos or inhuman like Tyranids.
Realistically they should use Space Marines sparingly and focus on more relatable stuff like Eisenhorn, Gaunt's Ghosts or the like. And just have the Astartes as almost a force of nature for when shit really hits the fan.
But they're the posterboys of the IP, so they'll be front and centre in some regard.
The models are so expensive though. Fricking basic squad of Sisters was $78 at games workshop. Granted, that’s in leaf-money, but that’s still robbery for something I could run off my resin printer for about a leaf-buck worth of resin.
Yeah I can’t take the complaints about it seriously. If you don’t like it you have low T. Simple as. 40k is best when taken completely seriously at face value. If you want compelling le drama go read Game of Thrones or some homosexual shit like that.
Ask /tg/. Looks pretty meh as far as videos I've watched. Kind of like certain genres of games where building your army and customizing is the actual fun then you actually play the game and it's just "okay".
No, and I autistically love factorio.
The worse part of board games is learning the game for an hour before you even play.
Playing W40K is like that but worse.
No. Everything since 7th edition has been dogshit. If you like the setting, play Killteam or Horus Heresy. Both of them do 40k better than 40k and have better communities to boot.
they announced an eisenhorn show pre-covid and nothing came of it. what happened to the offer they made Cavill on twitter, was that just theatre? i feel like we'll never get a live action 40k show, and maybe that's not so bad
>Why would GW sell it?
You have it wrong way around.
GW cannot selle wh40k. Because its pozzed already. Its effectivly worthless when it becomes to selling.
And corpos are only interested in buying untainted properties, like recently Lord of the rings or Foundation which they then can pozz for corpo and esg credits.
Its publicly traded, Amazon could start buying up shares whenever as far as I know. But its been speculated for nearly a decade now that GW's leadership have been considering shrinking the Tabletop mini side of the company, to focus more on warhammer as a multi media property. Its what drove them to kill Fantasy and the current sanitization of 40k, softening the imperium heraldry to be less nazi like, adoption of more easily copyrightable nomenclature like Astra Militarum/ Drukhari, the complete divestment of fantasy from anything that could be legally construed as tolkeinesque (at least until Total Warham and Vermintide fricked all that up by making Classic Fantasy more popular than ever). It would make sense for them to cozy up to amazon if that's their goal.
Well they're doing a very shit job of shrinking the miniature side of the company. 40K is more popular than ever, Specialist games like Necromunda, Blood Bowl, Warcry etc have never had more support than now. And they're releasing a WHFB reboot in The Old World next year.
Now admittedly there's a chance that they'll be losing the LotR license in the next few years. But overall they're cranking the models out like never before.
>>to be less nazi like
What the frick does this even mean? Is the current imperium of man basically a Teochratic feudal empire? If anything its like medevial HRE and papal states on steroids.
In case you haven't noticed, the woke left has been badly losing the culture war recently, by the time this show is actually in production all of those gay rules will have been revoked, Trump will be president again, Disney will have been bought out by the right-wing investors that are currently in the middle of a hostile boardroom takeover, etc.
In case you haven't noticed, this happened in the 70s, then respite in the 80s, then worse in the 90s, then respite in the 00s, then EVEN WORSE in the 10s, this you remember, and it's going down due to pushback in the 20s, and because things go much faster right now, it's going to get much, much much worse before 2028.
That WH40k show will get wokeified in ways I can't even imagine, because what we need is not a pushback, it's an exterminatus.
And it's still going to be shit. At best you are getting fricking Transformers just with CGI marines. Woke shit is just one of the problems nobody in Hollywood knows how to write anymore.
After the travesty that was wheel of time and rings of power, i have 0 expectations for this. The only reason why im even giving it attention is because of cavill
Ah yes Amazon, prepare for black transexual space marines slay queens fight dem bad white people in the name of Saint Emperor George Floyd. Oh and there will be over 100 references to how bad Orange man is for w/e reason. >inb4 muh GW protection
They will go full woke whenever given a chance to but for whatever reason their racist fans refuse to buy their progressive politically correct, brave statements/products *sad face* #toxicfandom.
The show will be utter shit just like rang Dem kangz of the fuk was that thing called
I don't know why people think that matters. Even if he's allowed to actually have any influence rather than just being an attached Brand to give their efforts nerd-cred('member all the "Tolkien Scholars"?), Cavill himself is actually a fan of modern 40K; Cawl, Primaris, Primarchs, Custodes, all that shit. He'll happily endorse and promote whatever heinous abomination GW and Amazon cook up together.
>He liked The Witcher, so he didn't like the TV show deviating from it. >He liked Nuhammer, so he'll be okay with them adapting Nuhammer, which is so crammed full of "super woke" that they're (as one example of many) adding an all-Boss b***h squadron of Pegasus Knights in the new Bretonnia novel, you know, Bretonnia, the faction who's four defining traits are Arthurian Myth, Robin Hood, the French, and rampant obvious absolutely uncontroversial in-setting sexist ultrapatriarchy.
In 40K we've had black-kang Fenrisians on the covers of novels, Techpriests with literal Xe/Xir pronouns they make a big thing of in-fiction, Fabius' newbetter posthumans led by Stronk Black Wahman who can pss nuffin' personal kid *teleports behind you* any astartes, nepo-baby Creed, and countless more examples of "woke" if you want to call it that. And that's before considering all the changes/additions they've made to the IP in recent years to turn it into a saturday morning cartoon where Rowboat Supeyman just manages to defeat the dastardy Armless Abbadabbadoo and he pulls some frickery that lets him escape cacking "muahahaha, I'll get you NEXT TIME Supeyman!".
That's the 40K that Cavil likes. That's the 40K Amazon will produce.
Schizo as frick. Cavill has been a fan of 40k since Rogue Trader, he likes the actual lore, not the fricking moronic modern Black Library shit you're talking about, which is niche side-lore of dubious canon that 99% of the fans don't even read.
Cavil has been a fan since 2nd edition not RT, plays Custodes, and has openly expressed positive views about Primarchs returning in 40K and other modern "lore" that comes not just from BL but is now an integral part in the progresses-in-time "ongoing narrative" that the IP has been turned into since Gathering Storm, as conveyed by the studio-published army books and campaign books. He is absolutely a Nuhammer fan, and the only schizo here is the person who will deny that reality in some sad attempt to keep believing Amazon - fricking *Amazon* - aren't going to produce what I *would* say is the nastiest, sloppiest, DEI-packed piece of trash 40K has ever seen if not for the fact that that's all 40K is now and has been for the last several years.
Only one who gets it.
Most fans think they'll do some "mature" version of the IP they got into in the '90s.
These people don't understand the setting has always been pulp and full of shounen anime shit. Its never been "inclusive" for gatekeeping.
>is he actually a schizo? Because he kinda acts like he's just pretending to be moronic
hes a based schizo, who worked himself into a shoot
he kept his "sovl" during the transference,
and as such must inspire the demoralized necrons to regain their "lives" again.
hes basically Pharoah-era Alexander the Great
he literally the most based warhammer character, period out side of the meme usuals
>Necrons, and it isnt even close
Isn't there a Necron "prophet" who makes a bunch of predictions and then goes back in time when his predictions turn out to be wrong to force them to happen kek
Necrons are a fantasy race that won and called GG EZ
Not him but like the Adeptus mechanicum and its heretic counterpart. Their designs and personalities variate a lot despite being the closest to a mindless robot. Astartes are not that boring, is just they are everywhere so it gets old

This setting exists to sell figures for a board game. Nothing makes sense and half of the lore contradicts other half.
We are supposed to believe that some big dudes are ultimate war machines and matter in a setting with miles long space ships and giant mechas that would squish them like fricking bugs because they need to shill those expensive models for the game.
Even if this gets made it's going to be some horribly written CGI fest on par with HALO adaptation.
Warhammer 40k is goyslop but when it stayed in its lane it was bearable. Now warhammer is supplanting the mediums it ripped off (sci-fi books and movies) to make plastic toys by dumping literally hundreds of garbage pulp stories into the market and making this amazon+ normalgay shit. And you can't discuss sci-fi anywhere on the internet without warhammer 40k fanboys inserting themselves into every conversation because DUDE DID YOU KNOW EVENT HORIZON IS A HECKIN 40K MOVIE!!!
i actually hope he doesnt personally act in any of it
in the witcher he was trying to keep the writers and producers in line and stick to the book but they were hell bent on making it shit and he had to act as well so he couldnt keep a watch on them all the time
if he stays as just the executive producer he can keep the project on the straight and narrow without distractions.
and yeh i think they should stay as far away from astartes as possible for as long as possible
its far too hard to do in live action and i dont think mainstream audiences arent ready for a feature length cgi film about big super humans in even bigger (kinda goofy lookin) armour.
Unironically, that would probably be the best way to make a 40k show.
Having the protagonist be a normie who is suddenly swept up into a position of importance like that would let them put in plenty of setting exposition without is seeming out of place. And the premise of a story following a Rogue Trader crew would give the writers some leeway with the grimdarkenss to make things more accessible for a general audience.
because orks are sentient fungus
the fungus spreads simply by orks existing in an area
the fungus grows in pretty much any environment
eventually orks pop out fully formed and start bashing 'eds
which causes more fungus to grow
is why its usually called an "ork infestation" and the most common solution is exterminatus to simply destroy the planet because that is cheaper and faster and easier.
>actually get a answer
Thanks fren. If orks weapons and machines work because they believe it will work, can they believe a ork is female and it'll become one? Kind of like our troonie roonies, tbh.
>Orkboy sees female human noble >thinks the "blood" she decorates her lips with looks roight orky >starts decorating his lips with blood
boom, "female" ork
>most common solution is exterminatus to simply destroy the planet because that is cheaper and faster and easier
This is not remotely true.
Exterminatus is barely ever used in lore.
The most common way of dealing with orks infestations is the good old flamer.
Fricking lorelets. No one exterminates a planet because of ork infestation holy shit. You burn the affected areas with promethium and have PDF patrol it for any that pop up.
>most common solution is exterminatus to simply destroy the planet because that is cheaper and faster and easier
This is not remotely true.
Exterminatus is barely ever used in lore.
The most common way of dealing with orks infestations is the good old flamer.
stop posting misinfo on my board thanks.
The fungus isn't a "weapon" or a "machine" therefore, no.
If you kill the bigger orks and keep them at war with themselves orks are not a problem. Orks only become a problem when a warboss organizes them and they go from beating each other to death with rocks to building guns that teleport you to hell

Amazon managed to shit out Reacher which is basically just a chad white guy doing chad things with next to no wokeness.
They even depict hoodrat drug dealers as black in that show instead of pretending that reality doesn't exist.
You're genuinely brainwashed if you think Reacher has "next to no wokeness". It's full of scenes like, he tells his little cop woman sidekick to go somewhere safe, then he acts like a total moron, completely out of character, in the upcoming scene, so that she can come and save him and lecture him on his toxic masculinity. They may as well have paused the show to just tell you directly that treating women like women is misogynistic. There's loads more scenes like this, like when they talk to the two corrupt cops the black cop immediately wants to come clean, and the white cop is so fricking evil that he'd rather kill both his partner and himself than confess. Or the scene with the super smart black woman hacker who also conveniently finds herself near evil straight men whom she then beats up and they just let her beat them up because straight white men are not just evil but they're also weak. Just like how Reacher is weak and needs his little female partner to come save him from himself when he tries to act like a man instead of an embodiment of globohomosexual who treats women and men the same.
I said next to know wokeness, not none.
They have a quota but they do the bare minimum to meet it.

Holding out hope. GW has a reputation of being very protective of the settings and their adaptions. Things MUST be right. Per current canon lore at least.
Also, if this is the Cavill project, he reportedly left that godawful witcher show for not respecting the source material and he is a big 40k nerd.
Those two things make me hopeful. Amazon being involved worries me.
I half expect accurate depictions of say, a space marine being a big chad, however anticipate a black woman Inquisitor. Which wouldn't be breaking lore in any way. I'm sure they will get their diversity in their, but that isn't in and of itself ruining 40k seeing as how humanity of all forms exist in the setting.
GW has been pozzing up even their books hard lately, there is zero hope. I mean, think about it rationally. If you're making a WH40K series, what makes more sense? To pander to the nerds who are all going to watch it anyway? Or to pander to the people who have no current interests in it but who might be attracted if you appeal to them? This is why you should NEVER be a "fan" of something, because as soon as you become one, become a consoomer, you instantly make yourself someone the product doesn't need to be made for. Because you will consume it regardless of how shit it is.
Sure, like ten years down the line the franchize will have lost all its original goodwill, the consoomers will have lost faith, and it goes the way of the MCU or Star Wars. But since when do those le ebin evil capitalists care about the long-term? They will cash in on the goodwill and then leave the withered husk to rot after it's been sucked dry.
oh cool, we are getting diversityhammer 40k. Can't wait for it to suck so I don't have to listen to a bunch of soiboys talk about how manly and epic it is anymore. 40k was cool for a little bit but now it's just annoying sloganism
A full movie of Astates would be too based for this world.
Astartes are the most boring part of 40k.
Ya and Die Hard is the best Christmas movie right moron?
Yeah but they’re the most accessible to normies. Try having your first entry be a game of literal 4D chess between two Necron lords or something and see how that’ll go over
>Yeah but they’re the most accessible to normies.
They're not at all, Guard or Inquisition would be, Astartes are fricking freaks with inhuman psychology.
This. Not every Astartes can be Grimaldus or Titus.
Accepting the Southpark challenge, the liberal feminist writers will make the Emperor a chick, as well as all of the Primarchs. The only male (or white) Primarchs are of the Traitor Legions.
Bet against me. They are going to gay this shit up like you can't believe. You know I'm right.
>~~*Amazon Studios*~~
are you fricking moronic?
HALF the fricking Astartes will be Black folk and the other half fricking wahmen

I'm sure it's gonna be good this time. 2374th time's the charm.
Time to make war and dying for a cause cool in movies again!
It took them a year to sign an agreement?
They used to propose, approve, write, shoot, market, and release entire movies in the span of 8 months in the 1960s
GW has an army of lawyers and is insanely protective of their IP
>insanely protective of their movie IP
ftfy. For some reason they hand out their video game IP like free candy.
They hand out the license. People making the games still have to comply with GWs rules. Total War: Warhammer for example can't make any units up that didn't have model or unit entry unless they get GWs express permission and are not allowed to use End Times stuff at all.
Its licensing not IP. They hand it out to whoever stumps up the cash.
>The based option:
Its Caiphas Cain or IG vs Xenos
>The likely option
Marine slop where generic Ultramarine 124638 defeats hordes of the imperiums enemies with his racially diverse team of allies.
It'll be Eisenhorn. There's been a show already announced a few years back but stuck in a development hell.
Makes sense as well:
>books are universally considered to be some of the best in the entire 40k line
>Einsenhorn is a badass but still a normal human, not some unrealatble Space Marine
>while it's action packed, there are not many huge set pieces and most of the action sequences are chases and small shootouts: much more budget friendly than huge battles
>Eisenhorn is an ideal vehicle for exposition as he's a knowledgable Inquisitor who surrounds himself with a team of rag-tag random schmucks he can be explaing the setting to, and you don't want to alienate the audience with the first project
starring Idris Elba
No Henry Cavill is to zealous to let anyone else frick up the roles so every character is just him in different outfits.
Now we’re talking. He’d better direct it too.
that would be acceptable
I didn't say as who. Idris will die in the pilot, revealing thandie newton as eisenhorn
At this point Idris Elba as Eisenhorn would be a victory for the alt-right.
At this point, a gay man who deliberately spreads mere monkeypox is the core of the conservative movement.
Not really. The Cinemaphile story has grown from the original nugget of truth which was something like Kubrick was working with Watson and Kubrick asked him for a bunch of his recent books, which included Space Marine.
And they're strict with their licensing. You can't do SHIT unless it goes through GW.
Yeah, this is no doubt what held them up. Amazon wanted total freedom, GW wanted total control. They've had to wrangle some kind of mutually acceptable structure which lawyers on both sides are happy to sign off on.
>Games Workshop and Amazon will work together for a period of 12 months to agree creative guidelines for the films and television series to be developed by Amazon. The agreement will only proceed once the creative guidelines are mutually agreed between Games Workshop and Amazon.
Sounds like the solution they're going for is some kind of lore-bible which Amazon isn't allowed to deviate from, presumably as an impediment to female space marines, or to stop Amazon from deciding to make half the primarchs black, that kind of thing. Don't be fooled into thinking this will keep the thing from getting pozzed though, GW's written output is full of strong women and melanated space vikings these days, it'll just mean that they can't make any changes which frick with the established setting and background.
They've spent a year with lawyers arguing, and the product is an agreement to spend a year with creatives arguing. We're still a long way out from anything appearing.
>to stop Amazon from deciding to make half the primarchs black
I would imagine they're not allowed to touch existing named characters except for references, or do anything that impacts/contradicts the lore, they'll have to come up with their own gays
Historically, GW was extremely paranoid about creating their own competition. Back in the 90s they were careful about computer games that could model the game rules exactly. Toy licensing was also something they were very worried about, they didn't want to sign the rights to a film company that then produces a board game of the movie that's more popular than their tabletop games, or figurines that out sell their own kits.
They started taking a shotgun approach to Vidya in the late 00's, but are still pretty strict about how the IP is portrayed. That's why you can't bang a sister of battle in Rogue Trader, and why they don't really let game devs make up their own new aliens or special units.
there's sob on administratum clerk (implied) sex in one of the cain books, never mind how they were literally made to be a harem. they also keep going back to their roots. half the time, you see a SOB, she's doing some kind of treason, exactly like you'd expect a faction literally born out of treason to behave. they should be acting like prostitutes all the time as well for the same reason.
>They started taking a shotgun approach to Vidya in the late 00's, but are still pretty strict about how the IP is portrayed
They seemed to have buddied up pretty tight with Fatshark though. Pretty much everything in Vermintide and Darktide is in the wider canon now.
Nah, they're still absolutely schizo when it comes to Fatshark. Most infamous example was when Fatshark wanted the Warrior Priest career to have a flail as a weapon, but GW fervently denied it saying that there have never been any Warrior Priest models that have flails, so Fatshark compromised by giving the Warrior Priest a flail AND shield which is accurate to one of the models. Fatshark is also not allowed to have any palette swaps for any of the characters as well. This is all for an IP they neglected for decades and canonically had destroyed btw, so 40K must be a nightmare to make anything outside of the immediate canon for.
>insanely protective of their IP
Ironic considering the have driven it into the ground themselves.
Ironic considering their work steals from every media known to man.
>handing it over to amazon to make goyslop
No they're not
Yep, expect the first actual content to appear ~2030
remember zombieland?
the low budget and well recieved movie?
took hollywood 10 years to fart out a sequel.
And it was horrible compared to the original, sadly.
>hey arent you excited to see a franchise based around grimdark have positive messages about diversity and heroism and other capeshit?!
No. Seeing this has only further cemented my feelings that any 40k content is going to be insanely shit.
Bet whoever circulated that rumour about the deal being fricked yesterday feels dumb.
Weird way to apologize anon
Uhmm... No.
Their stock has been absolutely eating shit the last few weeks so it wasn't out of the question.
40k has existed for at least 30 years now. In that time it hasn't produced a single game, or book, that isn't shit. Even if we weren't in the era of ESG. It's guaranteed that this will be shit.
Just stick to Madden and shut your Black person mouth when Aryans are talking
>Helsreach
Now face the wall, heretic.
*unholsters boltpistol*
>a single game, or book, that isn't shit
Hating things make you so cool and interesting.
>he isn't playing the new Rogue Trader kino
lmaoing at the state of you
Buddies and I have been playing Darktide all week. Fricking love my zealot. Dude is a raving lunatic for the Emperor.
you think DOW is shit? look at this absolute pleb
This time it's NOT going to be shit. In fact I'd bet real money that whatever movies or shows they make are going to be of a surprisingly high standard. Why? Because WH40 shit is "their" last hail Mary to popularize a franchise with a strong pro military theme to it.
>"b-but Warhammer shows the shortcomings of an organized religious/militaristic society! Its satire and not to be taken at face value!" says the fat virgin
NO ONE CARES. Both the fans and the average normies is just gonna see it as badass easily marketable chapters of space Marines killing xenoes, and in the minds of the less bright ones, think "maybe joining the military isn't that bad".
Very optimistic.

Good way to ask for reccomendations btw
good bait
The Black Library is shit written to sell toys.
so?
Horus is absolute trash for morons. Everything in 40k about le ebin uber powerful heroes is absolute fricking garbage. This setting was never supposed to be taken seriously yet homosexuals want fricking Marvel with Emprah.
>Everything in 40k
well its a good thing the heresy is set in 30k you actual fricking mouth breathing moron
Cute cope.
>gets btfo
>c-c-cope!
i accept your concession
moron everybody knows it happens 10k earlier it's still part of fricking 40k franchise.
actually if you go to their website its clearly part of the 30k series
and if you were to actually read the horus heresy you would understand in 30k its really not the big power shitting competition that it is in 40k
idiot
you havent read any of the horus heresy
>All good parts of 40k setting were ripped off from Dune.
based cant wait for them to make a masterpiece like dune part 1
they should get Villeneuve on the team
40k is not the year (after the birth of Christ, our lord and savior) it's the price tag.
I have read every book on this list, except Descent of Angels.
Don't ask me anything.
Physical or digital? Cause getting some of the physical books seems pretty pricey.
Physical. The latest pile is on the floor because there's no more room in my bookshelves. And I have eight of the Siege of Terra Limited edition books. I can't be bothered to count all of my WH40K books because there are so many in my house.
lmao at all the secondaries getting angry at this post
if you don't play the actual game but instead read shitty books or play shitty video game adaptations you're a bigger tourist than trannies that paint their space marines rainbow colors
It’ll be live-action slop
Was Halo amazon too?
Remember there was a Halo TV series, anons? kek
No, Halo was Paramount.
But I don't WANT an amazon adaptation.
Season 1 of Man in the High Castle proves they can do it.
Season 3 on Man in the High Castle proves yhey can frick it up.
They ditched most/all of the product crew responsible for the first two seasons of MitHC. Some new suit took over at that time and she started pushing all the ESG shit into WoT, The Expanse and LotR too.
Only the "bad guy" parts of man in the high castle were ever good. Well, and some of the peripheral scenes in the other narratives.
don't watch it then, simple as.
>don't watch it then, simple as.
it's not tho
the same thing that happened to marvel would happen to 40k
if the movie adaptation of the character is the one most people are familiar with they will backport it to the rest of the setting
Warhammer 40k is for homosexuals.
I was looking forward to the last thing they made because i wanted to see the story of the nun from 9ed trailer and then i looked at a clip of the new show and she didn't look the same and I realized... look what they fricking did
but that is not that nun. also she dies fricking horriby. that show really ramps up hard. first episode is mediocre, but everything after that is awesome. the sound design kicks serious ass.
>tfw actually expected some of those civilians to get saved
I do wonder where they will take the story in Pariah Nexus Part 2.
>that is not that nun
oh ok that's good. why did you then needlessly write spoilers though? dickhead
it will suck
I've not read any of them, but these were pretty well received and still pretty grimdark despite being for kids. This one has a whole planet's worth of people getting killed, the one about the Tau is unapologetically xenophobic. If anything it's the books for adults which indulge in more lore-raping wokism.
>I've not read any of them, but
Everything that comes after this is meaningless.
Have you? I'm going off the back of the few reviews I've read, rather than a kneejerk response to the cover and the idea of GW doing a book for kids.
The first star wars has dark vader destroying a planet, its not that big of a deal for babby books to destroy planets
It triggered many a smug taugay
>Nooooo I can't own the chuds at the store anymore.
I guarantee you people posting that image have not actually read the novels.
Why would I read something that?
This novel will teach your child to be a racist tho.
i remember seeing some excerpt where the kid tech priest encounter women turned into tyranid breeding pods
Reddithammer 40k already sucks, I doubt they could make it any more gay and full of gay shit.
You can’t stop thinking about gay shit huh you scatalogical homosexual freak
I remember a tumblr review of these books and the beta man was angry about how they taught kids to be intolerant towards the xenos.
GW might pander a bit to woke morons with small concessions and stuff that would be hard to criticise without being labelled racist or whatever but they know that nerds no matter the skin color will get up in arms if they introduce fem marines. It would probably be the most moronic move ever on their part and they seem to understand this to an extend
maybe
>we have made a deal, and now, year later, we have made that deal even more solid
Cavill will die of an old age by the moment theyll start pre-production.
Is this the one Henry Cavill is working on? I wish it all the best. It's one of the few adaptations that I actually care about, I hope it's great and successful, not for my sake though, but for Henry's. If he stars in yet another IP he loves that gets butchered I'm afraid he might do something drastic.
You have so much to live for, Henry!
Cavil or not, it's Amazon. Hope you're ready for female black space marines
GW has explicitly stated there are no feeeeeeeemale astartes.
And Tolkien had explicitly stated that Galadriel was happily married to Celeborn for thousands of years, but that didn't stop Amazon having her pop ladyboners for Sauron.
>GW has explicitly stated there are no feeeeeeeemale astartes.
Sorry to break your bubble but i am willing to bet my left nut that inside 10 years there WILL be female spacemarines, and they will be stronger and better than every other spacemarine.
Reasoning is simple, w40k is already a woke cringe fiesta containing Black folk, gays, lesbians, transvestites, stronk womenx etc. If you can stomach it, read the latest books, siege of terra series perhaps, and the "message" is clear.
Also as amazon is the company who managed to piss away a billion dollar Lord of The rings franchise to Black folk for diversity points, it does not take any kinda leap of faith that any 40k series/movies will be woke shit and yes, containing female "spacemarines of color" for some ultra ESG points.
To put is as simply as i can: In order for female spacemarines not to happen, entire Amazon and Games Workshop leadership has to be replaced within next year or so, before production.
While it might be on much smaller scale, Amazon also recently willingly tanked a niche anime mmo that already wasn't doing so hot in the east, Blue Protocol. One that would've released at the same time as it did in the east before they delayed for another year for more "localization" (i.e. censoring the shit out of the small appeal it had and blackwashing npcs like they did with another mmo not long ago, Lost Arc).
If Amazon is involved in this there is very high chance it will be pozzed to hell and back and then they will probably pretend it was a massive success and everyone loved it anyway, even if the numbers tank and people forget it exists after the first few episodes when everyone becomes wise to it, just like what happened with RoP.
>inside 10 years there WILL be female spacemarines
Lol, lmao
Inside 10 years cancel pig leftoid trannies will be lucky if they can still show their faces in public
Easily bypassable by creating FTM Astartes
What does the F stand for in FTM?
moron.
They're officially MALE now, chud. Get with the times.
Gene seed can still tell the difference between male and female. But who am I kidding, like they'll respect the lore at all.
>But who am I kidding, like they'll respect the lore at all.
Cavill will. He left the Witcher because they were wokie pigs. He made sure he had an executive producer role in this project so that everything has to go through him, and failing that, it has to go through GW's people, and we know there are at least some GW insiders that are anti-woke and have leaked that they will never allow female marines to exist as long as they still have authority within the company.
>Amazon Studios
Goyslop
This is going to be Godawful and you know it, and will lead to the final conquest of the IP by normies. Canon never moved past 4th ed as far as I'm concerned.
If GW is anything it's being anal retentive about protecting their property. Or at least they were until now when deals involving big bux may become possible.
The majority of Amazon's output is shit so I doubt this will be any different. Also if shills are too butthurt that's also a huge red flag.
40k is really popping off lately with darktide getting good (finally) and rogue trader.
god please no, stop ruining the things i like
>*sigh*
hatred for your fellow guardsman?
Can't wait for the seeth about black Space Marines and female Inquisitors.
I can't wait for you to be hanged from a lamppost.
I'd like to see you try, little man.
>he doesn't want helsreach
>he doesn't want celestial lions and black templars action
>he doesn't want Salamanderkino
NGMI
The short sequel to Helsreach where Grimaldus helps the celestial lions regain their honor is kino
Just make a Helsreach movie
looks like he's on a date with that SoB as well
I bet $1000 that there will be a black female Inquisitor shown at some point.
If you have any hope for this, get your head examined.
Wont be good.
Whole Warhammer stuff is just literally a saturday cartoon show to sell over-prized toys to over-sized children. There's no interesting stories or conflicts to explore.
not even 15 hours?
>theres no interesting stories or conflicts
how bout you actually read some before opening your moronic homosexual mouth
I've played the game for 30 years.
It's a good setting for heroic battles, but ultimately completely void of drama, the few books I've tried to read are complete schlock, and I've played Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader too.
>admits to not actually reading any of the books and just plays the game like a moron
Because the setting is lukewarm at best.
There is no original ideas, and there are no real consequence of anything, there's no real evil in the hearts of men and all bad is simply mustache-whirling Cobra Commander shit.
>Because the setting is lukewarm at best.
how would you know? you havent read any of it.
>There is no original ideas, and there are no real consequence of anything, there's no real evil in the hearts of men and all bad is simply mustache-whirling Cobra Commander shit.
ok so im convinced from this line that you have literally no idea what 40k is and only heard of it in this thread.
Name one original idea in warhammer
Its all trite.
There are no original ideas as i said, read Dune, Forever War, Book of the Long Sun, Starship Troopers, anything by Asimov, etc.
40k is just all the "cool stuff" from superior work.
There are no interesting stories since every vice a human being can develop, ultimately can be blamed on a supernatural force he has no power to withstand (Except when he is the Master-Exalted Big Boss Guy who killed 16 Demondudes in a single combat).
The setting only works on a big scale, perfect for a wargame.
in what other major settings do demon possession feature as a regular thing?
The HH isn't interesting.
Bait for the Bait God
So how you enjoying the new Biggest Bad Marine that cost 300$ my fellow manchild?
>Warhammer stuff is just literally a saturday cartoon show
Sounds great, haven't had a good show in that vein since Mandalorian s1
OHHHHHHH LAAWWWWDDDDD
OHH LAWWDD DEM CODEXES

>bossy, sassy inquisitor shaniqwa in power armor
the kino will be off the charts bros
I don't know they can surpass John Halo and his cuckquean AI but I know they'll try.
They are finally going to get their female space marine.
the dark angels were originally an entirely gay marine chapter until they retconned space marine lore into all of them being asexual
We literally have Sisters of Battle. You have to be a little bit more creative of the pozzed stuff.
>We literally have Sisters of Battle
They don't care about Sisters of Battle, they want FEMALE SPACE MARINES!
So what? The whole setting is just an excuse to sell toys anyway.
Female marines are the most angering as it was done so that they don’t become their own race and have to parasitically serve humanity to get incipients
Well you can, GDUBs want you to paint your models however you want, they won't be lore accurate but why care? It's really because this guy wants to be pandered to like the people he is complaining about.
Anything with this haircut is dogshit. There isn't a single good character in any medium with this hairstyle
1st of all why would I want a female space marine to cook for me when a regular woman can cook just find?
2nd, lmao at that radhorn homosexual, imagine how many basedboy shouting selfies he has posted. His comment: 8 likes. The other guy 100+ lol.
Finally, will agree with everyone, this haircut immediately makes me dislike the character. And it always means the same personality.
I almost want to throw a hand grenade into one of these Twitter threads by posting an image of two identical Space Marines and saying one is male, the other is female. Even if such a thing were allowed for by lore, which it isn’t, after the decades of surgeries, hormone procedures, gene therapy and other frickery Astartes undergo they’d look identical to the male Marines anyway. These miserable fricks just won’t admit they just want strong Tumblrinas in power armour as a masturbation/submission fantasy.
>These miserable fricks just won’t admit they just want strong Tumblrinas in power armour as a masturbation/submission fantasy.
but that's just the sisters of battle
Not strong enough. They’re just regular women in power armour. They need superhumans with sidecuts to fit their warped lefty ideal of how women in fiction should be.
I fricking love buff women but I don't want female space marines.
Real MEN want to get raped by a Tyranid.
the only reason GW diddnt make girl marines is because the first 2 they made diddnt sell well.
i bought some though, and some jump packs for them as they looked awsome behind their skinny bodies
>That's all
that's more of a reason to not do this for a tv show, it won't sell well lmao
>it won't sell well
In [current year] that's as much a reason to do something as anything else. If it doesn't sell well they get to b***h, moan, and whine about how sweaty basement dwellers are moronic, sexist right-wingers, and destroying everything.
>the only reason GW diddnt make girl marines is because the first 2 they made diddnt sell well.
Historical revisionism, they never made any at all dumbass. Those were female adventurers in power armour, who were intended to be Sisters of Battle, the lore that said marines can only be male was already printed and published before those models even fricking came out. Dumbasses misinterpreted some line from one of the old GW guys talking about female models thinking he meant female marines, he was talking about the pre-40k models for Fantasy and shit, saying females AS A WHOLE didn't sell well, so when it came time to start producing 40k and marines, they didn't even make any to begin with, ever.
That same lore has been reprinted as recently as the new Horus Heresy game, it's not going anywhere, and woke ideology is losing lately in case you haven't noticed, if GW started developing female marines TODAY then the trend for woke shit in media will already be over by the time they could release them.
Leftoid trannies fricking lost and are in decline.
Sisters of battle is female spec marines, no?
If I, as a 30-something British man introduced to GW by my father at age 5, have to listen to another soibearded American hipster c**t lecture me on how 40k is and always was an epic leftist takedown of Margaret Thatcher-era conservatism I’m actually going to start killing them.
Ah yes the self serious warhammer universe
I never said it was serious, but it’s not what latecoming American shitheads like you want it to be.
There are 20 different examples of niche media going mainstream, that ended up destroying it. Is this guy moronic or paid to say this shit
>The hobby needs to grow! We need to make this franchise into unrecognizable slop like everything else!

They are intentionally homosexual in a way like a prison gang thanks to Ian Watson
It’s a sham him and Kubrick didn’t do the 40k movie they were talking about right before Stanley died
Kubrick was interested in one of the most juvenile IPs in existence?
he didn't really know what it was he just worked with a writer who made one of the early 40k books and expressed interest in it due to professional curiosity more than anything else
Kinda, I think Ian Watson was giving him artboks he was getting from GW
So it was probably an interest in Blanche, Ian Miller and Ted Naismith
I've read over a hundred 40k novels at this point and marines are comically asexual if anything
how soft will it be? how afraid are they to upset a "modern audience"?
It'll be reasonably easy to make the Imperium look at worst to be the lesser of two evils, especially if they steer clear of the more extreme aspects like the Black Templars.
And then having them face against something that either can be shown as obviously evil like Chaos or inhuman like Tyranids.
Realistically they should use Space Marines sparingly and focus on more relatable stuff like Eisenhorn, Gaunt's Ghosts or the like. And just have the Astartes as almost a force of nature for when shit really hits the fan.
But they're the posterboys of the IP, so they'll be front and centre in some regard.
It will suck. It will be full of asians, Latinos and blacks. It will be gay and have cuck stuff in it.
I love Sisters so bad bros
Then you will love the SoS bro.
The models are so expensive though. Fricking basic squad of Sisters was $78 at games workshop. Granted, that’s in leaf-money, but that’s still robbery for something I could run off my resin printer for about a leaf-buck worth of resin.
brace for the homie emprah
What is it about 40k that makes some of these anons seethe so hard?
It is the last IP meant for straight men.
It must be destroyed, no matter the cost.
Be fricking real lol, the setting has no original ideas and they retcon story stuff just to sell more toys. Its as superficial as they come.
Yeah I can’t take the complaints about it seriously. If you don’t like it you have low T. Simple as. 40k is best when taken completely seriously at face value. If you want compelling le drama go read Game of Thrones or some homosexual shit like that.
is warhammer40k fun to play?
Ask /tg/. Looks pretty meh as far as videos I've watched. Kind of like certain genres of games where building your army and customizing is the actual fun then you actually play the game and it's just "okay".
No
The specialist games can be ok
The lotr rule set is probably the best
Other companies make better rules
Do you like standing at table arguing about the importance of fractions of inches and rolling dice and memorising huge amounts of spread sheet data?
>fractions of inches
They should just make that shit hex based lol, problem solved
No, and I autistically love factorio.
The worse part of board games is learning the game for an hour before you even play.
Playing W40K is like that but worse.
No. Everything since 7th edition has been dogshit. If you like the setting, play Killteam or Horus Heresy. Both of them do 40k better than 40k and have better communities to boot.
The first person shooter Boltgun is much more enjoyable than I was expecting.
play?
Not really. It has a lot of balancing issues because the designers suck at math.
Yes
>40k

they announced an eisenhorn show pre-covid and nothing came of it. what happened to the offer they made Cavill on twitter, was that just theatre? i feel like we'll never get a live action 40k show, and maybe that's not so bad
Indont get why there's an "agreement".
Amazon could purchase GW outright for less than a single episode of Rings of Power.
Why would GW sell it?
>Why would GW sell it?
You have it wrong way around.
GW cannot selle wh40k. Because its pozzed already. Its effectivly worthless when it becomes to selling.
And corpos are only interested in buying untainted properties, like recently Lord of the rings or Foundation which they then can pozz for corpo and esg credits.
Its publicly traded, Amazon could start buying up shares whenever as far as I know. But its been speculated for nearly a decade now that GW's leadership have been considering shrinking the Tabletop mini side of the company, to focus more on warhammer as a multi media property. Its what drove them to kill Fantasy and the current sanitization of 40k, softening the imperium heraldry to be less nazi like, adoption of more easily copyrightable nomenclature like Astra Militarum/ Drukhari, the complete divestment of fantasy from anything that could be legally construed as tolkeinesque (at least until Total Warham and Vermintide fricked all that up by making Classic Fantasy more popular than ever). It would make sense for them to cozy up to amazon if that's their goal.
Well they're doing a very shit job of shrinking the miniature side of the company. 40K is more popular than ever, Specialist games like Necromunda, Blood Bowl, Warcry etc have never had more support than now. And they're releasing a WHFB reboot in The Old World next year.
Now admittedly there's a chance that they'll be losing the LotR license in the next few years. But overall they're cranking the models out like never before.
>gw can't even sabotage its own ip properly
Honestly that checks out.
>>to be less nazi like
What the frick does this even mean? Is the current imperium of man basically a Teochratic feudal empire? If anything its like medevial HRE and papal states on steroids.
>Amazon
Now it's your turn 40k gays.
In case you haven't noticed, the woke left has been badly losing the culture war recently, by the time this show is actually in production all of those gay rules will have been revoked, Trump will be president again, Disney will have been bought out by the right-wing investors that are currently in the middle of a hostile boardroom takeover, etc.
In case you haven't noticed, this happened in the 70s, then respite in the 80s, then worse in the 90s, then respite in the 00s, then EVEN WORSE in the 10s, this you remember, and it's going down due to pushback in the 20s, and because things go much faster right now, it's going to get much, much much worse before 2028.
That WH40k show will get wokeified in ways I can't even imagine, because what we need is not a pushback, it's an exterminatus.
>because what we need is not a pushback, it's an exterminatus.
And it's still going to be shit. At best you are getting fricking Transformers just with CGI marines. Woke shit is just one of the problems nobody in Hollywood knows how to write anymore.
>actors identity aligns with the character
Well they throw that shit out the window when there's a white character lol
>the schizo who keeps mentioning "toys"
After the travesty that was wheel of time and rings of power, i have 0 expectations for this. The only reason why im even giving it attention is because of cavill
Cool. I look forward to seeing the Live action and cartoons to follow. That said I would really appreciate a Boltgun 2 announcement.
Ah yes Amazon, prepare for black transexual space marines slay queens fight dem bad white people in the name of Saint Emperor George Floyd. Oh and there will be over 100 references to how bad Orange man is for w/e reason.
>inb4 muh GW protection
They will go full woke whenever given a chance to but for whatever reason their racist fans refuse to buy their progressive politically correct, brave statements/products *sad face* #toxicfandom.
The show will be utter shit just like rang Dem kangz of the fuk was that thing called
gonna be pozzed garbage
so is this the same as what cavill announced? is he actually signed on officially as well? odd he isnt mentioned anywhere for this.
it says he's executive producing all of it on their announcement
I don't know why people think that matters. Even if he's allowed to actually have any influence rather than just being an attached Brand to give their efforts nerd-cred('member all the "Tolkien Scholars"?), Cavill himself is actually a fan of modern 40K; Cawl, Primaris, Primarchs, Custodes, all that shit. He'll happily endorse and promote whatever heinous abomination GW and Amazon cook up together.
Yeah just like he heinously endorsed the Witcher show being super wo- AAACKK!!!!
>He liked The Witcher, so he didn't like the TV show deviating from it.
>He liked Nuhammer, so he'll be okay with them adapting Nuhammer, which is so crammed full of "super woke" that they're (as one example of many) adding an all-Boss b***h squadron of Pegasus Knights in the new Bretonnia novel, you know, Bretonnia, the faction who's four defining traits are Arthurian Myth, Robin Hood, the French, and rampant obvious absolutely uncontroversial in-setting sexist ultrapatriarchy.
In 40K we've had black-kang Fenrisians on the covers of novels, Techpriests with literal Xe/Xir pronouns they make a big thing of in-fiction, Fabius' newbetter posthumans led by Stronk Black Wahman who can pss nuffin' personal kid *teleports behind you* any astartes, nepo-baby Creed, and countless more examples of "woke" if you want to call it that. And that's before considering all the changes/additions they've made to the IP in recent years to turn it into a saturday morning cartoon where Rowboat Supeyman just manages to defeat the dastardy Armless Abbadabbadoo and he pulls some frickery that lets him escape cacking "muahahaha, I'll get you NEXT TIME Supeyman!".
That's the 40K that Cavil likes. That's the 40K Amazon will produce.
Schizo as frick. Cavill has been a fan of 40k since Rogue Trader, he likes the actual lore, not the fricking moronic modern Black Library shit you're talking about, which is niche side-lore of dubious canon that 99% of the fans don't even read.
Cavil has been a fan since 2nd edition not RT, plays Custodes, and has openly expressed positive views about Primarchs returning in 40K and other modern "lore" that comes not just from BL but is now an integral part in the progresses-in-time "ongoing narrative" that the IP has been turned into since Gathering Storm, as conveyed by the studio-published army books and campaign books. He is absolutely a Nuhammer fan, and the only schizo here is the person who will deny that reality in some sad attempt to keep believing Amazon - fricking *Amazon* - aren't going to produce what I *would* say is the nastiest, sloppiest, DEI-packed piece of trash 40K has ever seen if not for the fact that that's all 40K is now and has been for the last several years.
Only one who gets it.
Most fans think they'll do some "mature" version of the IP they got into in the '90s.
These people don't understand the setting has always been pulp and full of shounen anime shit. Its never been "inclusive" for gatekeeping.
Ahaha, it's gonna be fricking awful. Can't wait for the aftermath.
>and what's the least boring according to you
Necrons, and it isnt even close
>"Cyborg Alexander the great refuses to believe his soul is gone to machine, and literally revives it by sheer willpower, and quirky delusion!"
is he actually a schizo? Because he kinda acts like he's just pretending to be moronic
>is he actually a schizo? Because he kinda acts like he's just pretending to be moronic
hes a based schizo, who worked himself into a shoot
he kept his "sovl" during the transference,
and as such must inspire the demoralized necrons to regain their "lives" again.
hes basically Pharoah-era Alexander the Great
he literally the most based warhammer character, period out side of the meme usuals
https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Zahndrekh
>Necrons, and it isnt even close
Isn't there a Necron "prophet" who makes a bunch of predictions and then goes back in time when his predictions turn out to be wrong to force them to happen kek
Necrons are a fantasy race that won and called GG EZ
Not him but like the Adeptus mechanicum and its heretic counterpart. Their designs and personalities variate a lot despite being the closest to a mindless robot. Astartes are not that boring, is just they are everywhere so it gets old
Shouldn't Ork be sad to fight against the Tau after the bluefish learned boredom makes Orks leave the war?
They'll make it lame and gay won't they?
lol anon come on now how long have they been making evertyhing you love lame and gay? we all know it will be
stay in /tg/ gays
99.9% going to be garbage.

This setting exists to sell figures for a board game. Nothing makes sense and half of the lore contradicts other half.
We are supposed to believe that some big dudes are ultimate war machines and matter in a setting with miles long space ships and giant mechas that would squish them like fricking bugs because they need to shill those expensive models for the game.
Even if this gets made it's going to be some horribly written CGI fest on par with HALO adaptation.
Warhammer 40k is goyslop but when it stayed in its lane it was bearable. Now warhammer is supplanting the mediums it ripped off (sci-fi books and movies) to make plastic toys by dumping literally hundreds of garbage pulp stories into the market and making this amazon+ normalgay shit. And you can't discuss sci-fi anywhere on the internet without warhammer 40k fanboys inserting themselves into every conversation because DUDE DID YOU KNOW EVENT HORIZON IS A HECKIN 40K MOVIE!!!
Horus Heresy is just capeshit. All good parts of 40k setting were ripped off from Dune.
It will star Henry Cavill as a death world slave who gets summoned to become a Rogue Trader.
i actually hope he doesnt personally act in any of it
in the witcher he was trying to keep the writers and producers in line and stick to the book but they were hell bent on making it shit and he had to act as well so he couldnt keep a watch on them all the time
if he stays as just the executive producer he can keep the project on the straight and narrow without distractions.
and yeh i think they should stay as far away from astartes as possible for as long as possible
its far too hard to do in live action and i dont think mainstream audiences arent ready for a feature length cgi film about big super humans in even bigger (kinda goofy lookin) armour.
I have faith in GW stifling any kind of lore breaking an upstart writer might try to add. GW is great at ruining creativity they don't like.
GW is also great at ruining their own lore.
anything post 5th ed is non canon as far as im concerned.
Unironically, that would probably be the best way to make a 40k show.
Having the protagonist be a normie who is suddenly swept up into a position of importance like that would let them put in plenty of setting exposition without is seeming out of place. And the premise of a story following a Rogue Trader crew would give the writers some leeway with the grimdarkenss to make things more accessible for a general audience.
Why are there no female Orks?
because orks are sentient fungus
the fungus spreads simply by orks existing in an area
the fungus grows in pretty much any environment
eventually orks pop out fully formed and start bashing 'eds
which causes more fungus to grow
is why its usually called an "ork infestation" and the most common solution is exterminatus to simply destroy the planet because that is cheaper and faster and easier.
>actually get a answer
Thanks fren. If orks weapons and machines work because they believe it will work, can they believe a ork is female and it'll become one? Kind of like our troonie roonies, tbh.
The fungus isn't a "weapon" or a "machine" therefore, no.
Would Gork n Mork truly be so strict?
mork yes but not gork
t. gorker
>Orkboy sees female human noble
>thinks the "blood" she decorates her lips with looks roight orky
>starts decorating his lips with blood
boom, "female" ork
>most common solution is exterminatus to simply destroy the planet because that is cheaper and faster and easier
This is not remotely true.
Exterminatus is barely ever used in lore.
The most common way of dealing with orks infestations is the good old flamer.
>common solution is exterminatus
Fricking lorelets. No one exterminates a planet because of ork infestation holy shit. You burn the affected areas with promethium and have PDF patrol it for any that pop up.
stop posting misinfo on my board thanks.
you too
Name a two planets that were destroyed to deal with ork infestations.
what kind of fricking moron exterminatuses orks?
Armageddon says hi homosexual.
If you kill the bigger orks and keep them at war with themselves orks are not a problem. Orks only become a problem when a warboss organizes them and they go from beating each other to death with rocks to building guns that teleport you to hell
>amazon studios
imagine how cringy, pozzed, and ineptly made this is going to be
Amazon managed to shit out Reacher which is basically just a chad white guy doing chad things with next to no wokeness.
They even depict hoodrat drug dealers as black in that show instead of pretending that reality doesn't exist.
You're genuinely brainwashed if you think Reacher has "next to no wokeness". It's full of scenes like, he tells his little cop woman sidekick to go somewhere safe, then he acts like a total moron, completely out of character, in the upcoming scene, so that she can come and save him and lecture him on his toxic masculinity. They may as well have paused the show to just tell you directly that treating women like women is misogynistic. There's loads more scenes like this, like when they talk to the two corrupt cops the black cop immediately wants to come clean, and the white cop is so fricking evil that he'd rather kill both his partner and himself than confess. Or the scene with the super smart black woman hacker who also conveniently finds herself near evil straight men whom she then beats up and they just let her beat them up because straight white men are not just evil but they're also weak. Just like how Reacher is weak and needs his little female partner to come save him from himself when he tries to act like a man instead of an embodiment of globohomosexual who treats women and men the same.
I said next to know wokeness, not none.
They have a quota but they do the bare minimum to meet it.
Go watch the latest Dr Who miniseries if you want to see real woke trash to get some perspective.
>Go watch the latest Dr Who miniseries if you want to see real woke trash to get some perspective
No one should be subjected to that dreck, and you should feel bad for suggesting it.
How can you know how much shit is in a product unless you go floor licking on a street in India?
Somehow, this is going to be about empowering black women.
>it gonna be full of troony lesbian mains.
You mean Slaanesh worshippers?
we've been over this already, trannies are tzeentch, not slaanesh
>subversive
>hermaphroditic and excessive
>mood swings and violence
>unhealing wounds
clear case of chaos undivided
Holding out hope. GW has a reputation of being very protective of the settings and their adaptions. Things MUST be right. Per current canon lore at least.
Also, if this is the Cavill project, he reportedly left that godawful witcher show for not respecting the source material and he is a big 40k nerd.
Those two things make me hopeful. Amazon being involved worries me.
I half expect accurate depictions of say, a space marine being a big chad, however anticipate a black woman Inquisitor. Which wouldn't be breaking lore in any way. I'm sure they will get their diversity in their, but that isn't in and of itself ruining 40k seeing as how humanity of all forms exist in the setting.
I have zero hope
GW has been pozzing up even their books hard lately, there is zero hope. I mean, think about it rationally. If you're making a WH40K series, what makes more sense? To pander to the nerds who are all going to watch it anyway? Or to pander to the people who have no current interests in it but who might be attracted if you appeal to them? This is why you should NEVER be a "fan" of something, because as soon as you become one, become a consoomer, you instantly make yourself someone the product doesn't need to be made for. Because you will consume it regardless of how shit it is.
Sure, like ten years down the line the franchize will have lost all its original goodwill, the consoomers will have lost faith, and it goes the way of the MCU or Star Wars. But since when do those le ebin evil capitalists care about the long-term? They will cash in on the goodwill and then leave the withered husk to rot after it's been sucked dry.
Hope they do a reprint on the omnibuses

40k have a good run, but everything has to end one day, at least there's a ton of old content to enjoy
>amazon
I cant wait for the imperium to be portrayed as White supremacist Nazis
right but what will they get wrong
>White
the emperor isnt white
and like most of his sons arent either
who's playing sanguinius
they literaly didnt let the guys that made rogue trader insert homosexuals into the game
i wonder what kind of shit amazon will do
nigs are a must but what else?

It's going to be shit.
oh cool, we are getting diversityhammer 40k. Can't wait for it to suck so I don't have to listen to a bunch of soiboys talk about how manly and epic it is anymore. 40k was cool for a little bit but now it's just annoying sloganism
For me, it's the T'au
Whatever you say, Xi.
