    Mahreens in a live action show would work best as this inscrutable force of nature happening in the background. Show how goddamn terrifying they are, sure, but don't make the show about them.

    Buddy comedy about a straight laced inquisitor and a free wheeling, zany marine apothecary

    They solve crimes

    It's tough, any time an army shows up everyone (including the armies) is just fucked beyond belief!

    And all xenos interactions are gonna be about armies?

    Grimdark!!!! *shakes fist*

    I can see why a lot of scifi choose paramilitary investigstors or agents or ambassadors to be an external lens to their worlds

    40k suffers from being such a vast setting with such different subsettings, in which horrific war-torn hellholes occupied exclusively by elite troops and aliens take up an enormously disproportionate amount of attention (because that's exciting but also that's what the table top game focuses on)

    I was playing Darktide with buds and one friend was like "so are all the worlds in 40k like this? Just miserable industrial nightmares full of secret chaos cults boiling underneath?"

    And like, no, they're not! But those worlds are very developed in the fiction, and the distant pastoral worlds that barely remember the Emperor and have no contact with aliens (until suddenly a Tyranid armada shows up and devours them) don't get much mention

    I’m hoping for either Eisenhorn or Cain

    Cavil would be great as Cain

    Nerds have hope for a good live-action Warhammer 40K movie but I distinctly remember the internet poo-pooing the WarCraft movie before it was out. It's not consistent. Is it the Darktide game supplying all this good will?

    Warcraft may have been the last of the truly awful adaptations of gaming properties

    of which nearly every one had been truly awful up to that point

    i heard the Tom Holland Uncharted movie wasn't great but i haven't seen it

    Pfft, it turned out okay. Mediocre. Destined to sit alongside Masters of the Universe or Willow in cinematic Fantasy.

    The point is people are hyped for Warhammer 40K brought to you by the neck-snapping Superman. The hype is unearned. Maybe it's pity hype after DC did Cavill dirty.

    It’s not, like, terrible? But it so little resembles the games it doesn’t really feel like there was any creative passion driving that project at any point.

    I know it’s a prequel, but it’s so far in the past of those characters it’s practically just not them. And Mark Wahlberg is so terrifically wrong for Sully.

    “We need a tall, barrel-chested, older guy type that can pull off a mustache. Someone with real dad energy. A David Harbour/Ron Perlman/Tom Selleck type. Who ya got?”

    “How about a tiny racist asshole with no mustache?”

    “I’d be real angry about that if I gave a shit,”

    Do a The Thing/Alien remake with Genestealers in a Hive City.

    Instead of the heroes getting away at the end, it's Exterminatus time, and a nice eulogy from someone on the battle barge about how The Emperor Protects as billions die beneath them.

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    the point being 10 years ago if someone announced a video game movie i would automatically assume it would be shit

    now i expect it might be okay at the very least

    because these things are no longer made solely to market merchandise and are now made with some degree of effort toward quality
