40k movie when?

Shit's too epic and the lore is too strong not to have a big budget movie.

not gonna happen. because of feminists whining about toxic mascoolity

What about those of us who aren't into nerd lore and whatnot? How would they make it appealing as a movie?

There's a big difference between doing another LotR and another Warcraft.

there isn't any big secret for that. they just need good fucking writers and a studio that won't cut shit out just because of muh showtimes

There's only so much you can fit into a movie. I reckon a tv series would be better.

It wouldn't be hard to explain the lore basics at all in the movie. The lore is deep but the general overview is really easy to understand.

Basically

>Earth is a dystopia between warring tribes/warlords
>One man unites Earth and becomes emporer
>Uses extracts of his DNA amongst the strongest of warlords to create the first super humans/space marines
>Fast forward thousands of years
>Numerous Space Marine chapters.

You had your movie, with a somewhat decent cast, and it blew balls.
No one is going to make the mistake of green lighting your edgy shit again.

A movie would be easy, you don't need to do every story. The Horus Heresy could be a great movie trilogy for example.

How is it edgy?

And yes, the movie was garbage.

>Shit's too epic and the lore is too strong not to have a big budget movie.

Up until the moment (((shareholders))) butcher the script to pander to the widest possible audience and force in all the following:

>really makes you think speech scene
>sex scene
>crying scene
>shitty "epic" cgi scene
>a butch lesbo
>a wild hacker kid
>it aint me starts playing

Reskinning the average capeshit plot to 40k will not work and will do more harm than good.

He'll fucking no. I love warhammer and don't want to see Hollywood take a giant steaming shit on it

>Sjws and feminists whining about how it's a misogynistic film as the main characters are literally giant brooding men.
>The Emperor (pbuh) is played by Idris Elba.
>Primarchs are edgy or have homosexual relations.
>The main protag is some twink space marine who ultimately falls in love with an eldar beauty.
>Stupid message of tolerance and belonging forced into movie.
>Endless quips and pop culture references forced in between, atrocious soundtrack with possible rap music.

No. Just no. Leave WH40K alone.
Pic related is the eldar beauty aforementioned, she's played by Beyonce though.

just make a collection of animated short stories like animatrix or something

Because 40K is a terrible shit?

>DUDE WAR
>DUDE FANTASY TROPES...IN SPAAAACE
>DUDE EVERYONE'S RACIST
>LMAO

Warhammer already has tons of stuff.

Malazan when? Or more likely, how?

none of that even matter
>there is evil totalitarian theocratic dystopian empire ruled by immortal Emperor
>they are the good guys fighting deamons and xenos
and then focus story on one small squad of Imperial Guard/Inquisitors retinue/Deathwatch killteam/Rogue Trader. Pushing too much lore (like Horus Heresy) is a bad idea (see DCU), getting atmosphere right would be enough. Too bad it will never past through SJWs and (((executives))). They will either whitewash empire or will go full grimderp ignoring lore and subtle black humour.

Wouldn't racism be justified since you can't breed with alien races?

WoW has is arguably more epic and has deeper lore and that movie was disappointing

That's actually a better idea. I would love a 40k short in Magnetic Rose style.

>juvenile male power fantasy
>main heroes are white males
>women are not present
>ethnic minorities are not present
>sexual minorities are not present
>women are objectified and oversexualized
>promote violence
>promote racial hatred
>promote religious fundamentalism
gee, I wonder.

The finished Horus Herey will be close to 50 books. YOu seriously think it's even remotely possible squeeze that into three movies?

These, tbqh

Wich movie are we talking about?

>juvenile male power fantasy
Thats a good thing
>main heroes are white males
Emperor is literally not white, most Space Marines aren't white or even human by defintion, there are black chapters
>women are not present
Adepta Sororitas, Eldars
>ethnic minorities are not present
There are thousands of worlds with unique ethnicities in Imperium of Man
>sexual minorities are not present
Slaanesh-senpai would like to have a word
>women are objectified and oversexualized
What? Where?
>promote violence
Violence kinda happens during wars
>promote racial hatred
Hatred kinda happens when the universe is full of things trying to kill you
>promote religious fundamentalism
Is it still 'religion' when Christ exists, sorta lives and quite literally protects your soul from imminent demon rape?

>>women are objectified and oversexualized
No they're not. If you think the SoB are sexualized you're retarded.
And beyond the eldar rape meme and diorama from /tg/, even they aren't sexualized.

Toughts on The Lord Inquisitor?

Shit like all 40k media except for the tabletop games.
Granted the only 40k film I've seen was cgi, it still sucked.

It's going to be fucking awful.

This is why it wouldn't get made. Whining sjws that ruin everything.

Try the audio books OP.

wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Chosen_of_Khorne
> Deep within the Eye of Terror, the followers of the blood god Khorne war amongst themselves to win their patron’s favour, and for the right to lead a new crusade against the Imperium in his name. Argus Brond, berserker champion of the old World Eaters Legion, has called upon his old comrade Khârn for assistance – surely, this legendary warrior will break the deadlock and secure victory for him? But Khârn, known with good reason as 'the Betrayer', is far more than just a crazed killer, and his own agenda will always come first...

My dick was diamonds when they started describing kharn's bloodrage and using gorechild to hack and tear through weakling pretenders.

>>there is evil totalitarian theocratic dystopian empire ruled by immortal Emperor

isnt he just a silent figure head though, who just sort of guides ships?
A council rules i think, like the roman senate

Yeah and your point is?
He literally keeps hell locked behind doors under his throne.
He guides ships through hell like a lighthouse on a stormy night.

The best way to make this movie is to use the Star Wars method:

>Opening scene
>black screen with quote "In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war..."
>WARHAMMER 40K WITH LOTS OF BWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
>go straight into an epic battle scene
>absolutely NO exposition dialog

Trying to have characters awkwardly explain the lore and back story is what kills virtually every single movie like this. Star Wars did it right by not explaining shit except the bare minimum information and just concentrated on the story. This is the best way to do it.

They could easily make a Horus Heresy series, they should just focus each season on one of the primarchs and then let it culminate in the siege of Terra.

It would be great.

>So ebin 4 da emprah! XDDD
Read an actual sci-fi book for once, faggot

Most imperial guard regiments have women in, its only ones like the Death Worlds that don't.

When the emperor was still walking around, he literally oversaw hundreds of genocides where the primary motive was things like not wanting to be subjects of his rule.

>tfw no qt banshee waifu to fap to

This is bad how considering that each race has done the exact same thing.
This is the Necron and Tyranid end game. Complete genocide of the galaxy.

have faith brothers

>one season per primarch

You do realize that there's 18 primarchs right? The show would take 20 years to complete.

>Warcraft movie when

>shits too epic and the lore is too deep to not have a big budget movie

It would be shit is what Im getting at.

40k movie could just cover some of the small pieces of lore related to some minor characters. There is plenty of that shit in the universe.
Trying to make a movie covering entire lore would be foolish.

THE 40K universe is edgy as fuck. Matt Ward writing into the lore that Grey Knights bathe in the blood of the sisters is pretty fucking edgy.

Then I think you just get a bland space movie.

And half of them did nothing interesting.

With 40k tech, races, and general setting. Add good some decent writing/acting to the mix and I'm happy.

WH40k is reddit of sci-fi tbqh

So because alien races are evil, it's okay for humans to do bad thing? Seriously, that's a shit argument.

It's not evil in grimdark settings user. It's the norm.

Injecting morals from reality into fiction not set in reality is retarded and something an sjw or tumblrite would do. Please don't be like them.

40k isn't Sci-Fi at all...

Or is it?

The questionable ethics of the Emperor is a major component of the setting.

I mean just take Angron as an example. Yes, the dude eventually turned to Chaos but who can fucking blame him. The man fought as the leader in a slave rebellion. A man which would undoubtedly be considered a true hero of humanity and freedom. When he's been deafeated and has accepted death he is then teleported off his home planet and told that from now on he's gonna be a general in an army where it's considered normal to have lobotomized servants and where he's expected to just wipe entire civilizations off the galactic map.

Yeah, sounds like Angron should have been less of a SJW tumblrite.

!!!

>a true hero of humanity and freedom
Angron has a piece of archeotech in his head that makes him a super-angry retard and the only way he can feel good is killing shit
>he's gonna be a general in an army where it's considered normal to have lobotomized servants
actually he was given a legion of perfectly fine space marines and he started lobotomizing them because reasons

and his legion was the vilest one, they basically killed everyone, no mercy ever

Emperor should've mercy-killed him. Emperor is a fucking retard.

40k is a nerd joke everyone involved took to far.

If you make it a movie you're going to expose it to people not "in" on the joke and as a direct result it will (deservedly) flop.

There's so many other scifi works that should be getting a movie or tv series other than it.

40k would be like Dune.

No one would know how to do it right and the people who do wouldn't get the funding.

All the 40k cartoons have been terrible though.

>How would they make it appealing as a movie?

Everyone in some way is the bad guy

40k is basically dune with zero depth and all its subtlety removed
Just get Michael Bay and you'll get exactly the movie it deserves. He's a better writer than 90% of the folks hired by GW after all.

>You had your movie, with a somewhat decent cast, and it blew balls.

Which one, the Ultramarine movie?

>actually he was given a legion of perfectly fine space marines and he started lobotomizing them because reasons

yes, and did anyone try to stop him? When Lorgar made people worship the Emperor as a god, at least then the Emperor did something to put a stop to it. With the World Eaters the emperor just went "Oh well, they're a useful tool that I can keep in reserve when I want to have an entire planet axed to death".

You dumb fucks could have everything explained to you by the first act. Have a 5 minute introduction into the world, and have the story explain the lore as it goes.

Warhammer 40K isn't that deep, it's just the novels that go into full autism mode. Shit, just have the movie take place from the perspective of Guardsmen. The grunts know bum fuck all outside of their home world, so it'd be the perfect vessel to explain the story and lore.

>implying a trailer where someone like this shows up would not appeal to normies

>Rap music

Surely they wouldn't fuck up the opera music and long, foreboding orchestra pieces.

They made it and it's called Lord of the ring

just make it like a transformers movie
big, dumb action with a tolerable plot

bam perfect 40k movie

If they did it they would have to make just generic space movie for the layman like an IG "WW2 style movie in SPAAAAACE"

They could focus on the ~9 who were in the Istvaan system

Them wanting to kill/eat you is a better reason to hate aliens than not being able to have babies with them.

>main heroes are white males

How can you even tell with all that armor?

Yeah, that's pretty much correct.


His bros were mostly disturbed/disgusted, but again, Emprah decided to be a huge retard. I'm just saying that Angron wasn't some kind of noblebright freedum fighter (Corax kind of was, though, but Corax is cool like that).

He stopped Lorgar's worship because he was explicitly anti-religion because he religious worship fed Warp entities of which he was acutely aware but didn't bother to inform his fucking sons about. Too bad they discovered on their own and half of them decided to side with those guys instead of retard dad.

> Reading a WH40k Book.
> It's Tyranids vs IG.
> Stop reading because it'll all just be IG dead anyway.
> Finish reading anyway because i like WH40k

I get that the IG get fucked but damn man there are too few books with them winning even phyrrically.

>>The Emperor (pbuh) is played by Idris Elba.
Emprah is a soul construct of a bunch of MIDDLE EASTERN psykers. He'd be brown, if anything.

he'll be anything he feels like being.

Eldar should all be raped by a pack of Ogryns!

>Necron

Oldcrons. Newcrons are Tomb Kings IN SPACE

There's literally no reason for him to be a blond haired blue-eyed Aryan, though.
There are hundreds of lesser alien races, not all of them are evil but all of them are to be exterminated.

>40k is basically dune with zero depth and all its subtlety removed

That's because Warhammer 40k is a satire. Or atleast was.

>calling THAT pauldrons

>Up until the moment (((shareholders))) butcher the script to pander to the widest possible audience and force in all the following:

I agree with your prediction on everything except it aint me starting to play. (((Shareholders))) would rather use a random current day popstars on soundtrack. Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry or something.. maybe even lady fucking gaga.

yes, but explaining details of Emperors backstory and how Administratum works isn't really important.


Its going to be great and like ten minutes long

I would assume they would just get some guy that kinda looks like Jesus, since that's what the images of the emperor seem to be going for.

>Primarchs are edgy or have homosexual relations.

But this is exactly how every single one of them is. They're basically all massive edgy faglords.

If it did have films made it would be "adapted to suit the medium"

Everything would have an updated, modern sci-fi aesthetic influenced by whatever photoshop artefact shit the asians are churning out now.

Space Marines would have to be humanised, so now they're just literally marines. Once you've done that, why have Guard? So get rid of them.

Orks are too silly, so cut.

There would have to be some kind of moral message or something. Even shit like Suicide Squad tried to push "muh friends" "muh adopted family", so what would they push in Warhammer 40k?
>story would be 5 Imperial planets getting invaded by tyranids or Chaos
>one is planet America
>another is planet China
>another is planet Middle Easternstan
>all have to overcome their differences to unite and turn back the Tyranids
>if Chaos, the Chaos antagonists would constantly mention social darwinism and the Imperium protagonists would extol the virtues of charity and the welfare state

He looks more like T.Hawk from Street Fighter with his hair down to me.

I see a Rihanna Skrillex and Diplo Remix incoming to appeal to the teenager audience.

If by "silent figurehead" you mean "literally in a coma", then yes.

Looks kind of like an American Indian. Definitely not A FUCKING WHITE MALE.

But no seriously, why the giant shouler armor?

That's how Warhammer works

youtube.com/watch?v=N_ZgyNoHtjw

As long as you're a man, a single tear will fall from your chin watching this.

The movie will only be able to be viewed by men, anything else, numales, women, children.. they won't understand.

And that's why a 40K movie can't be made today.

Protection, why else?

Its the easiest and most visible way (by being head level) for fantasy / sci-fi designers / artists to make ostentatious / cool designs.

He was born in ancient Anatolia, which basically makes him a turk

He was meant to be born several thousands years before any brown people were even near Anatolia. He is not turkish and has zero to do with any of our modern middle-eastern shits.

>tfw DoW3 will suck ass compared to the first one

T.Hawk is a Mexican Indian, so you'd be right.

Lore reason? Just because, and what said,

The ACTUAL reason? So GW can sue the shit out of anyone else that makes minis with giant pauldrons, claiming they're stealing their unique design. No, really
courthousenews.com/2012/12/04/52810.htm

So when you are getting shot at you have some protection.
You shoot side on, not forward which is how alot of 40k artists depict it.

In one of the horus heresy books wasn't it revealed that he appears to be whatever the person who is looking at him thinks is most noble?

No.

In the Horus Heresy books, the Emperor made a pact with the Chaos gods to create the Primarchs.
So fuck the HH, they ain't canon to 40k.
