After Halo, I feel like its going to be a very slow moving story about some random people living on a pretty nice planet that looks a lot like the forests outside of Vancouver. It'll be all space marines regaining their humanity and talking about their feelings, and they're just kinda tall, not like hulking 9 feet tall behemoths. Even when they do armor up and fight, they will all be taking their helmets off all the time, in order to properly emote, and at least one of them is going to gently caress. They'll be one and a half really big battles and a bunch of build up to some empty mystery boxes before it gets cancelled for being too expensive.

they'll also look into the camera when they say things like "a horde of space-faring bugs that consume all organic material? Yeah RIGHT." so the audience can go "ooooooh" and then pause it and explain it to their very patient so's.

The problem is, if it's about Space Marines it has to be animated. A live action series can probably do like, one Space Marine character. But a bunch of guys in the big suits would be a big expensive production nightmare. Why do you think they'd ignore how Space Marines are made? I don't see what they would gain from that. I really do think the first series will be about an Inquisitor. Maybe a straight up Eisenhorn adaptation, maybe something original. But it's the obvious move. Your cast is mostly basically normal people, you can film it in pretty cheap and easy sci-fi sets, the plot can largely be about politics and drama instead of constant warfare, and you can have a audience viewpoint character in the retinue, somehow feral worlder or hive city urchin who gets picked up because they have a unique skill or whatever. It's the cheapest and smartest move for introducing the 40k setting to a general audience.

I know that money rules everything, but I do think having Henry Cavil on as executive producer suggests that fidelity to the source material is going to be a selling point of this enterprise. Who knows what they will do in terms of plot and characters, but the details of the universe will probably be maintained, production budget allowing.

I liked "Straken" because it has an angry shirtless guy on the cover wielding a big knife and shooting at something off-screen: The contents are about as deep as the cover, with chapter after chapter of "And then Straken shot another Ork in the face, bursting its skull like a wet paper bag filled with gore as yet another one of his men was exploded into glistening chunks of viscera by a cleaver as large as his torso", repeated for hundreds of pages it was pretty cool

Lords of Silence is about a band of plague marines assaulting a sector of space and is awesome. Has some great sequences of imperial defenders losing their mind over the horror they're facing and then it switched to the plague marine viewpoint and they're just these relaxed chill guys who love hanging out in their living ship and infecting people.

Make the show about Eisonhorn and bring in Urban to play him using his Judge Dredd scowl. Even better if they find a way to make Eisonhorn wear a helmet.

The idea 40K TV show would recreate the look and feel of the setting slavishly, but it should be written and plotted entirely by 11 year olds.

Here's what I see as Age of Sigmar's problem: It's apparently a much better game than WHFB and sells well because that's a core issue for actual tabletop players, but it seems to have limited appeal outside of that. Nobody has yet made that on-ramp people talked about, there's no Age of Sigmar experience that'd get people who aren't already into tabletop games into it. Meanwhile there is the Total Warhammer series set in the WHFB setting which got very popular because that setting does have appeal. It's a kind of hilarious mess, GW kills the setting because their bad and neglected game doesn't sell and clearly that means people don't like the setting, then they have a major video game trilogy done, and miss out completely on synergies like how they got with Dawn of War for 40k where people start thinking "There are models, right? Maybe i'd like to get some of these dudes". Then they scramble to make the Old World and it's probably a few years too late.Vampire Panties posted:there is literally 0% the Amazon show is not about spess mahreens IIRC space marines outsell other factions 2-1, maybe more? limp_cheese posted:Make the show about Eisonhorn and bring in Urban to play him using his Judge Dredd scowl.

I'm not sure how common this is, but as an early/mid-ninties Fantasy player who is curious (I have multiple friends into 40K), learning that Age of Sigmar is set at the end of the setting makes it feel really ephermal and finite - like, it's done as soon as I get into it. Also, the sigmar dudes look like Dark Souls armour that has ok stats but makes your guy look dumb.

Disco Pope posted:Is it not set at the end of the world? No it’s way after the end of the world. The world of Warhammer Fantasy blew up, and after some non-specific amount of time the winds of magic coalesced into the Mortal Realms where AoS takes place. The newly revived Warhammer Fantasy, now called Warhammer:The Old World is set about 500 years before the old Warhammer Fantasy was to give the setting some space from its inevitable doom.
