Considering recent plot development in Wh40k, I wouldn't be surprised if he just got up from the throne, stretched and yawned.

Could you cliff notes for the heretics who don't follow?

Ultramarines Primarch woke up and took command of all Imperial forces and told everyone to get off their asses and fight like it's Wh30k

Also : Eye of Terror expanded into a galaxy wide rift that splits the Empire in half. And some other Primarch started showing up too I think

Then he revealed that Tech Priests spent last 10k years developing his secret project: Space Marines on even more steroids.

It will be a total, complete and utter disaster. You can quote me on this. Hell, you guys can downvote me to oblivion for this.

Did you see Cavill's tweet about this? Go read it.

Could go either way IMO. 40k media outside of books is always either insanely good, or absolutely dogshit with no middle ground.

I love 40k, but I agree. Condensing any part of it down to something digestible for a general audience is going to be daunting.

https://youtu.be/6bgi5STRe8E I think following an imperial guardsman would have been a good intro to the lore for people unfamiliar with it

I disagree. I've been playing Warhammer 40k mechanics and know almost nothing about the IP... T i now understand the weakness of my flesh.

Live action isn’t the right medium for the setting

If you're focusing on the guard fighting Eldar, I could see it looking really good. Budget would be a big issue though

Any WH40k series is better than no WH40k story. It's a start. Don't knock it until we see it.

I have a sliver of hope, Cavill is an executive producer on it and notoriously hardline about sticking to the lore

*Looks at The Witcher* Yeah, okay. Studio will probably not interfere again.

He wasn't exec producer on that

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

He had no hands in production for Witcher and when it get to far away from the material he dropped out of it

Please. For the love of God, oh Prophet. What are the winning lottery numbers?!?!

For it to be accurate to the source material, tickets to watch that movie should be much more expensive than for other flics.

After what Amazon did to wheel of time I would not want to be a huge 40k fan for this

Will you still watch it though?

Nope. I don't want *anything* to do with amazon.

You're on imgur, though. You're contributing more here than if you watched the movie.

It has potential to be amazing unless games workshop is involved

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I'm hoping that with Cavill involved they will trust the IP is in good hands and step back a bit

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Games workshop literally forced all fan made content off YouTube so they could do their own shows that sucked. They are greedy and horrible

I'm not arguing with you, just hoping. Space marine game was really good and so was battle sector, so some gems do shine through

I don't watch Henry Cavill for the writing. I watch for the.... Acting? Yes. Acting.

WH40k is a hell of a property, and making a general audience understand what is going on will make you sound like a paranoid schizophrenic
