Warhammer 40k

I wish Netflix could make a 20-part series about Spacemarines. A deathmatch tournament would have been desirable. Seeing the 5 strongest from each chapter fight each other gladiator style. Just the thought of Ultra marines against Black Templars makes my mouth water.

Why? What's so interesting about that?

They should either adapt Gaunts Ghosts as an animated 40k Band of Brothers type series or do the the first three books or the Horus Heresy as animated movies.

I agree
sort of
a long term HH semi animated series. with the main focus on the the first threeHH books. but have a split storyline focusing on the other legions like GOT building up to their intertwinement.

so like the first episode would be a mini movie detailing the events of the first heretic leading up to the journey into the eye and the fall. then launch into likens story while showing the thousand Suns setting up the up coming fracture and huge battles.

Did they ever finish the fluff novels about the HH or is the HH an just another ongoing setting now?

Almost finished it is 53 novels long and now they are finishing the siege of terra novels which is set for six novels
Which will cover the wntire battle of terra
Probably moving onto the scouring after that

That is a benefit of 30k as a setting they kniw the goal the fluff is set they just need to trim fat
 
Glad this thread got bumped.
There has been some good warhammer 40k stuff on YT lately.
First the https://www.youtube.com/c/PlayOnTabletop Channel has been putting out excellent videos. It really reignited my interest in the actual game side of the 40k experience. Their selling point is basically , a game of 9th edition 40k in 40 minutes. WHich is actually very palatable and enjoyable especially as the regulars and team are all petty likeable nerd/dorks. Their games are pretty fun and they really hit that gaming itch that i have. I believe they have really stepped up their game over the last 6 months as their videos have been edited better and become more edited and presented like a video and less of a pure recording of a tabletop game.



these three games are super fun to watch

next up is the vids of arbitor Ian, https://www.youtube.com/c/ArbitorIan
he has soem really interesting vids about the evolution of the game from its inception to where it is now especially looking at the nuts and bolts of the rule changes and gameplay changes. Plus hsi love for the Necromunda setting and his preference for the non space marine lore makes his videos very interesting especially to me who really dove deep into the game in like 2009, way late in terms of the game

also there is some really cool fan stuff outthere now like these two movies/projects

The idea is fantastic but they would fuck it up imo. Very very few authentic book to tv adaptions are made nowadays. Most is full of SJW crap. Expect half the crew to be women conflicting with modern leftist politics as a narrative.
Maybe I am too pesimistic but time and again the big companies nowadays show that they near only cater to that focus group as they scream the loudest if displeased. The Witcher is a great example . People still like it but imo its absolute horseshit and not true at all to the books. Changes a world divided by different politics into a braindead good/bad guy agenda. Really kills of the authors intention of showing the complex patterns of human power and interaction.

Other great projects would be Night Lords trilogy, Abaddons Black Legion Trilogy, Newer Chris Wraight books especially "The Hollow Mountain". But imo at the core a "The Horus Heresy" TV show in the size of Game of Thrones would be absolutely phenomenal starting in chronologic order with how the Imperator gained his power in ancient times and then slowly progressing through Valdor....etc to the Heresy. Could be a lifetime project.

I got into the HH series and after reading about 20 of them burned out.

Is the Siege of Terra series worth getting back into it for? Really want to get back to Primarch on Primarch violence and Daddy Emp bitch smacking his kids.

I've enjoyed them. Some legit badass primarch moments. Also if you're a fan of Sigismund, he gets some absolutely badass scenes.

Much obliged Sherbro. Think I'll get into the Siege.

No problem. Dorn is definitely fleshed out more and I gained a lot more appreciation of him in this series.

His duel with Fulgrim is awesome.

Sigismund absolutely curb stomping the chaos champions in Warhawk is also epic.

Sanguinas on the ramparts battling Titans is so cool too.

Lots of cool shit in all the books.
