I do not understand all these people who claim 40k is supposedly so complex it cannot be made into film. It is very large, true, but it has a very simple premise and, provided one does not delve into everything like DC like to do, one can make a very strong movie out of it. After all, dark and gritty and edgy are all the rage now.
Here's my suggestion:
1) The setting will be a hive world. It is large enough to explore 40k's verse and yet small enough to avoid unnecessary exposition. Also it is very easy to access (unlike feudal words or say Space Marine homeworlds, hive worlds are not hat different from real life) and encapsulate 40k's themes pretty well.
2) The main characters will be an Inquisitor and her retinue, allowing us to see a lot of iconic Imperial factions without devoting too much time to them. A Techpriest, a Sister, a Psyker maybe, and of course a Space Marine.
3) However the protagonist will be some guy from the hive world itself, probably some Aladdin-esque homeless teenager, that gets to help the Inquisition, perhaps with his knowledge of the hive city, and eventually rises up to become an acolyte.
4) The techpriest will be comic relief (BEHOLD, O SACRED TOASTER), the Sister and the Space Marine are action heroes, though they could get their share of humour due to being always serious. (Also, feminists collectively wet their panties) The Inquisitor will provide exposition when needed.
5) The main villain probably won't be Chaos, they are bit too high fantasy to be introduced right away. A Genestealer cult could work much better and they could provide some basis for a detective plot.
6) Overall, it would be shown how dark and ignorant many of the characters are. It could serve to show contrast between the more level-headed Inquisitor and the superstitious Hive Boy, who will talk about angels and dæmons and witchcraft constantly.

7) Psyker abilities will be shown, but sparingly, by the Genestealer Cult Magus and perhaps by the Inquisitor, and the Hive Boy would shit his pants and scream "EVIL SORCERY". The Inquisitor will explain how sorcery is just a word people us to refer to things they do not understand. The Hive Boy could also ask if the Genestealers they fight are ademons, to which the Inquisitor would answer something like "You have not seen true daemons yet. These things... they are merely minnows in the ocean of sharks."
8) The finale will feature the Inquisitorial retinue on a tank fighting hordes of Genestealers.
9) Perhaps some house politics in the hive could be shown?

Pretty sure there are quite a few places that come very close to hive cities on modern Earth. Thing is, the idea of a hive city would come naturally to the viewer: it is a grotesque parody of the real world rather than something weird.
Compare them to some feudal world or some Space Marine place where all life is nothing but praying and fighting. That would be much harder to get into. A giant city where people are wage slaves? People will cheer for the poor souls who suffer there because they can understand them.

Hi. I'm a noob GM who will soon be running The Enemy Within campaign from Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.
I was hoping some folks here could tell me about interesting or funny NPCs they came across or used in their campaigns (not limited to Warhammer Fantasy) so I could shamelessly steal them. Consider this a "funny/cool NPCs" thread.
Don't worry if you don't think it would fit in the dark fantasy setting of Warhammer, I'm sure I could make it work. One of the changes I'm already making is due to the Enemy Within being written in the 80s and suffering from many obvious tropes which weren't TOO obvious back then as they are today. As well as some weird stuff like one of the main villains of the second part of the campaign suffering from all of a vampire's weaknesses (up to and including fear of the sun and garlic), but not actually being a vampire... for no reason.
I'll start by supplying one of my own ideas:
A nobleman who hires an ogre as his personal valet. The ogre takes his job very seriously -- even going so far as trying to speak in a refined manner and studying fashion so as to correctly advise his master on the proper clothing for the season. He wants to be a perfect Gentleman's Gentleman, because he has learned the joys of incredibly well-prepared food while joining his young bachelor employer on various parties and visits to his aunts' and uncles' estates. Unfortunately, fat fingers, low dexterity, and inordinate size mean he's often bumping into expensive pottery and ripping fine suits. He hasn't yet realized his employer keeps him around mostly as a well-dressed bodyguard. Bertram the Ogre Butler/Valet and Heinrich the Nobleman. Picture not related.

To what extent is a Chaos Warrior's power their own? Comparing a base chaos warrior with an elite yet ordinary human, the stat difference appears to be +1 WS, T, I and A. If a Chaos Warrior decides to renounce the dark gods for whatever reason. Would they lose these stat increases or just the chaos armor and mark of chaos?
>>
>>50077009
It depends on what kind of gifts they've received from their patron(s) and any mutations they've gained along the way. Most of their physical prowess is through their own actions, so long as it isn't from a mutation anyway. If one were to renounce their gifts, and wasn't struck down or hunted by daemons for the rest of his days, then he'd still be imposing and powerful, but substantially less.
Lord Mortkin, a Chaos Lord mentioned in the 8th edition rule book, renounced the gods as he was determined to die a man and not a slave. The Chaos Gods took away their gifts and he was killed shortly after.

Depends on the group. I once ran it for a group that was either super into it or used to dealing with it in RL, so it wasn't a problem.
For a later group, I relaxed a little and only enforced the basics (bowing, honorifics, titles) until they became more comfortable with things. Allowing them to use English equivalents of certain things made the transition smoother, I think.

It's just that type. He's a huge edgelord who interjects every so often with whiny, pessimistic anecdotes I just KNOW he thinks is profound wisdom. He puts on this presence of being depressed and anti-social because he thinks it makes him mysterious or some shit. He can't go five fucking minutes without taking some total pot shot at organised religion. He namedrops people from science and literature as if we're supposed to be impressed that he knows who Tesla and Lovecraft are. He plays his character like he thinks he's Batman or something. He at least knows better than to derail the plot but I have had to tell him once or twice that there are other players and his character is not the protagonist. He's way too old for all this shit, too.

Souls can't work like that anymore cause Daemons are a lot more ravenous then they were when the Shamans did it.

Chaos already has what they want. The galaxy is at constant war and strife with no end in sight. They won ten thousand years ago.
Now all they have to do is keep stringing Abaddon and his merry band of fuckwits along to keep the pace going without ever reaching a real conclusion.

>>50071999
The shamans that became the Emperor weren't regular psykers, for one. They were immortal (of the "can be killed, but will just reincarnate" variety) and each stupidly powerful in their own right, so Chaos can't just sacrifice a bunch of normal psykers and expect Nega-Emperor to be born. Also, souls are a yummy treat for daemons.
