Now that Warcraft has launched the beginning of gamekino, how long until we have a proper 40k film?
like 8 years.
Diablo movie in 5 years
>>70740243
What can you do though to satisfy everyone?
I would love a 2 hour movie where 99% of the dialogue is "Purge" "Heretic" and "For the emperor" but that is just me.
>>70740362
Horus Heresy obv
There are already warhammer films.
>>70740424
Yeah but they're straight to VHS garbage
>>70740362
>What can you do though to satisfy everyone?
This. It's too large in scope to be good.
Chaos?
Hive Fleets first appearances?
Necrons?
Where is my goddamn Douchekopf Halo movie?
District 9 can fuckin die
>>70740450
So are most films that reach the cinema.
>>70740390
But others want to see their orkz go on rampagesLike meor Eldar being... Eldar...
There is too many nuances to the Warhammer 40k universe to satisfy everyone unless they make the W40kCU
ANY
DAY
NOW
>beginning of gamekino
>>70740243
A movie about Horus Heresy would be so big, take so much fucking money and it might be hard to attract the normies in since Blizzard games are super normie. I used to play tabletop W40k and I played the MMO so yes I would pay to see a 4 hour movie.
How large a budget would this movie need to do it justice?
>>70740243
Is 40k still popular enough to sell a movie?
do you mean tabletopkino?
>>70742789
To get normies in, just show off the Space Marines.
Normies love over the top designs that 40k does so well.
Although, I want some Orkz because they are my boyz in the table top game.
>>70740362
Base it off one of a book about the exploits of a badass character and set up the universe with a short fallout style intro.
Show an Exterminatus commencing and I, High Inquisitor of Adeptus /tv/startes, shall have mercy of the Emperor upon this unholy concoction of tabletopkino.
>>70742854
It already has a large fan base in the internet. It might not be large enough to make the movie profitable, but certainly would help to create a hype for it.
I would make a Horus Heresy movie. The characters from the HH books are more relatable, and universe is generally less dark and gritty. There is no official cult of the Emperor yet, humanity is rational and atheistic. I think story of first encounter with chaos would make a good sci-fi horror.
>>70743113
The problem is there are so many fucking characters during Horus Heresy you'd need at least 3 movies
>Orks vs Imperial guards
>Imperial guards getting rekt
>Space Marines send a handful of free squardrens to assist
>Tyranids genestealer from nowhere
>Space marines btfo
>Imperial guards about to be defeated
>Eldar appear on the horizon
>Ebin 'Drive for ruin' speaeh
>Orks defeated
>End credit scene cuts of Abadon the Dispoiler
>'Guess I will have to do it myself' Cunning smile
>Cut to black
Would watch
>>70740243
If Peter Jackson were into it and it could be properly funded/produced then it'd be the perfect stage for him to blend his pinache for gore and violence with his beautiful, brobdingnagian style from LOTR and King Kong.
>>70741827
>wanting hemsworth to play sanguine
no man can play that perfect angel let alone that fucking manlet
I just started reading the books after getting lost in the wiki for afew weeks (never played the game) and Inquisitor Eisenhorn is where im starting. Seems like itd be a sweet movie, but again theres so fucking much to the universe I barely know where to start and im reasonably normie. It would have to be done like Warcraft really.
>>70743265
Coster-Waldau
>>70743194
Why would the tyranids just turn up?
Why would Abbadon use Orkz?
Why would Eldar ride in the save the day in a fight between Man and Ork?
Never try to write anything ever again you fucking sperg lord.
>>70743188
I dont think I would be making the movie trying to tell the whole story. Just the story of some SM unit, on the great crusade, having good time, killing xenos, uniting humanity and then encountering the chaos, threat to which they are completely oblivious. Some marines are corrupted, some stay sane. They lose contact with Terra but some stories about Horus rebelling and civil war reach them.
I dont believe that telling a complex story of HH would be a great idea. .
>>70742964
An exterminatus as the trailer would be pretty hype
But also spoil the whole movie
SURRENDER YOUR BIOMASS TO THE GREAT DEVOURER
>>70740243
>how long until we have a proper 40k film?
Never cause Space Marines are played out yet they'll base the movie around them even though there are now more other faction players than Imperium Players.
Just take one of Abnett's existing books and make that into a movie.

>it's a fucking Khornate base, they were the ones who lured the Orks
>some of the Marines stay behind to delay the invasion, others race back to the planet to rally the IG and prepare for defense
A story like this has enough options for various characters, enough potential to film basically any scene you want and it would require 0 prior knowledge of 40k if done right.
Or just make Gaunt's Ghosts a miniseries

Fish head here
>>70743785
I'd be madder if the whole thing wasn't being done by one guy who has painstakingly worked on it for a couple years now
Is there even a market? The impression I get from people I know who give a shit about the tabletop scene is that, between the influx of competition in the last few years and the downsizing and closures of physical GW stores, Warhammer is dying. If there was a time for a 40k film, it was 10 years ago.
>>70743848
The tabletop is dying but the vidya market is going to boom.
Dawn of War 3 has got people excited. I personally still play the table top game but I am a couple of editions behind.
>>70743657
>>70743785
This is the better teaser: https://youtu.be/JjaYW5Cnr5k
>>70743848
I find it funnier they finally release the license for Fantasy to someone competent, and then made fucking Age of Sigmar so it's not even cross promotional material anymore
>>70743848
It's not really dying they are still keeping level profit wise but they have realized the golden days of the 90's-early 00's where people spent a couple of grand on huge armies is never coming back and have restructured the games to be about less models on the field and smaller armies.
>>70743607
Fleshbags get off my lawn.
>>70744092
Remember when the Necrons were cool?
>>70744142
I mean...they kinda still are, in a way. I preferred them as the antithesis of the Tyranids, the other side of the unthinking, inhuman Horde coin. The Tyranids are all about the circle of life and apex evolution. They are literally life at its greatest. Oldcrons where death incarnate, souless, fleshless, unfeeling.
Having a couple "personalities" and even some genuine characters beyond the C'Tan would have been cool, but reducing them to hammy Saturday morning cartoon villains with Pokémon god slaves is kinda shit
>>70744240
I even liked the snipers that sit in another dimension and the time fuckery guys, but man what the fuck were they thinking when they made them Tomb Kings: In Space: The Pokemon Masters
>>70744142
>>70744240
>>70744270
Huh? What happened? I stopped collecting Necron units a while back. What did they do to them?
>>70743265
>manlet
he's 191cm tall, what the fuck are you talking about.
>>70744299
Now the C'Tan are reduced to shards (except the void dragon) that they use in big pokeballs to unleash their powers from, also they have dynasties and shit and sometimes team up with Spess Mehreens
>>70744299
They basically turned them into Eldar, with dynasties and such, but turned them into Doctor Doom like villains that ham it up and collect C'Tan shards.
It's pretty bad but you might enjoy it

>>70741827
So these games got no female characters?
>>70744716
Only Eldar and Sisters of Battle have women, and Tau I guess

>Using GW models at all anyway
reminder that childish toys and games never make a good film
>>70744868
When I played GW were the only models easily available. The prices weren't so jacked up either.
>>70744893
Everything changed when the ForgeWorld attacked
>>70740243
More like Chinkino.
This movie is doing well in China and Eastern Europe, thats it. It will get 1 sequel and by the time it's released the Warcraft fad will be over in those countries too
>>70744924
The prices nowadays are sickening. Especially now that all the models are fucking plastic and I can pick up the metal ones on ebay for a few quid each.
>>70744994
I remember when no one played Necrons because everything was in lead, if only we knew what would happen when they changed to pewter and really started fucking people in the ass
>>70743408
>>70744748
GW pulled that shit about them avoiding the Ygmarl Genestealers because with the shape-shifting ability Tyranids would become OP as fuck and rek everything.
>tfw we could have Kubrick tabletop kino but he died
>>70745036
I'm pretty sure they'd already switched to the pewter when the Necrons first came out.
>>70745204
Necrons were in 2nd edition when they still used lead, I think they were some of the last lead models because by 3rd it was all pewter
>>70741827
>Meme actor as Emperor
No no no
>>70744716
Only Tyranids and Orks lack females, but they are genderless monsters.
The only thing females can't be are Space Marines due to the Emperor and the Primarchs all being male, but they can still serve them. In the same vein Sisters of Battle can't be male due to a "no men under arms" loophole, but there are still males in the Ecclesiarchy.
Everybody else doesn't care.
>>70740390
No. That would be bane of Warhammer.
Start with smaller story to establish the world first. Like Eisenhorn. Then you can do Ciaphas Cain. Then you can do a LOTR-style trilogy of Horus heresy.
Would like this as a movie.
DOOM series on HBO incoming
>>70740390
>19 main characters
>all are brooding giant men
>only one Asian and one Black
>>70743786
Space marines are unfilmable. Cliched and expensive.
Story following the Inquisition or an Imperial Guard squadron could be quality though.

there is only one way they can do this and not have it suck, and that is following an inquisitor (preferably Jaq Draco, though Eisnhorn or a new character wouldnt be too bad) through their descent into heresy. It would have to be either really fucking long or a series, but if they got it right it would be based af
They should start small with single Guard squad, Deathwatch team or Inqusitor and his retinue and some simple, unbloated plot. Focus on 40k atmosphere and don't bother casuals with too much lore.
>>70745643
Every 40k film will be expensive. Cheapest you could get away with would be some tacticool IG regiment fighting exlusively rebels that haven't gone full Chaos yet.
And Space Marines aren't unfilmable. Easiest route is making a Deathwatch team the main cast. But you have to make sure that their power level is apparent. 40k: Ultramarines failed because it was Ultramarines fighting Khornate Berzerkers and they all seemed like generic soldiers in fancy armor. If the Berzerkers first easilly slaughtered some PDF the movie would be much better
