Do you think that there could ever be a good 40k live action

Given that they're killing the setting for a age of sigmar-styled reboot I would say that it is pretty unlikely.

>>79946458
Why do they make shitty basic fantasy. Why not use their most interesting ip.

Orks anything else is boring

>>79946488
Why not chaos space marines V's space marines

I'd like to see a good genestealer movie.


Movies based around inquisitors clearing out some kind of heresy could also be good.

I wanna see a tyrannid movie

>>79946417
the question is, would they use practical shit for the spehs muhreen suits or make it all CGI?

>>79946488

>>79946417
It'd have to be Horus Heresy since you could have all human casts and avoid some horrific cgi/prosthetic shit.

Cast
>Ralph Fiennes as Horus
>Jude Law as Sanguinius
>Mickey Rourke as Mortarion
>James Purefoy as Big E
>Chris Hemsworth as Leman Russ
>Joseph Fiennes as Magnus

could be a cool live action movie if done by someone who understands the original material. which I don't. so what's the point, I don't know.

>40k

30k or nothing

I want to see a creepy 'Genestealer creates a cult' first act that plays out as a horror and shows the Nids starting to terraform a colony, until the lid gets blown open on it and the Imperial Guard mobilise. Then have them trying to put up a fight and losing while one platoon tries to start up a dead Baneblade.
Then maybe a non-Ultramarine chapter was present in the same space and arrives super late to play big damn heroes, and they push back the first wave by the end of the movie, implying there's at least not immediate Exterminatus.

There'd be *blam*ing and showing off the real 'trying to survive is cowardice' thing with the IG, maybe a bunch of field-promotions because everyone keeps dying.
Also how fucked up the Nids are.

>>79946417
A black orc falls in love with a witch elf.
Unable to confess, he is gifted with by a deus ex machina with the witch elf's geolocation. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately rides his board to that place, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day’s confessions to the witch elf, she only looks at him with eyes full of anger and disgust. After some investigation, he finds out that the witch elf he called is not the same witch elf he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn’t exist in this universe at all. She is the witch elf’s alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC’s own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

>>79946800
So you wouldn't want a movie, it should just stay as a wargame?

Story following the imperial guard during the war and every character gets killed off every 20 seconds

>>79946888
but anon that would probably not be appropriate for mainstream viewing

If they don't use fucking space Marines Jesus Christ

I'm so fucking tired of all the games coming out focused on space Marines

The universe is so fucking huge

Couldn't we get like a chaos/eldar/Tyranids 3 way instead
Would be way better with no real good guys in the movie

there's a fanmovie in the works, complete cgi, if you guys didn't know

You're not the first one to have these ideas, Games Workshop did it in 96. I think these two concepts and maybe some short stories played verbatim would be the only 40k stuff that could actually be film worthy. The horus heresy might work as well though.

>>79946605
It would have to be mocapped live actors. Muhreen armor is way too bulky to be a practical suit that someone can act in

>>79946782
I agree, it's got plenty of drama and source material to build on, plus you can make a crowd-pleasing good vs bad conflict. Most of the other lore is autistic details about armies and battles.

>HUMANITY FUCK YEAH, FUCK EMPEROR AND FUCK SPACE MARINES
Pathetic Guard-fags, go watch starship troopers for this shit, we don't need another movie about
>muh ordinary soldiers

>>79947826
Having all aliens would be retarded. But honestly the imperial guard would make the most sense for a movie.

Yes, but it would have to be classic hand-drawn animation (basically, Heavy Metal).

Storm of Iron is about the only 40k Novel that could work as a movie. Maybe Eisenhorn and the early Gaunt's Ghosts too. The Horus Heresy is way too convoluted for normies.

>>79946482
Because Fantasy was a better game on the table

>>79947957
Why do you want to see fucking generic human space man vs alien movie?

>>79946888
>Using the gay IG that run away
>Not any of the interesting ones like Death Korps, Harakoni Warhawks or even Cadians

>>79948333

Catachans > the rest

There's already a movie about them, though, called Predator

It would have to be digital, there is no way they could do live action, even live action with lots of CGI could fail horribly without a fantastically huge budget.

Whatever they do I would love to see them truly get the sense of scale. I want to see trillions of Tyranids raining down on a planet, millions of IG tanks advancing as one to combat it. Entire hives being wiped out and so on.

relatively complicated world to jump in, in my opinion they should make movie with a lot flashbacks, for example simple young man woke up, makes his things, watch on street spacemarins, notice how epic they are and he wants to know more about them ,he goes to library where he watch and read about how everything begun since start imperium to heresy and civil war.

>>79946782

>>79948446
>space marines on the street
>reading about horus heresy in the library
>reading about any heresy in the library
You sure you are talking about 40k?

>>79946417
The story should be about you finally having sex, pinhead

>>79948419
That's why I didn't bother mentioning them, they're already in Rambo, Predator and Apocalypse Now

>>79948446
The only problem is you average imperium citizen has nothing to do with marines. the movers and shakers of the story really have nothign to do with commoners at all, for the most part. A movie would be better based on an inquisitor, or maybe an acolyte or something.

god knows they need muh human drama to make it accessible rather than just have people blowing heretics up.

But GUYS, They already made a Warhammer 40k movie!!!11!! It's called EvEnT hOrIzOn!!!! LOL XDD

>>79946417
Probably something like 300.

>>79946417

it'd have to be with an imperial soldier or a remembrance brought along with a space marine detachment, maybe during the great crusade.

Start with a normal person, and slowly show giant marines and their tech.

The source material itself is fucking shit
So no

I'd love to see an average citizen living on a giant megacity world cyberpunk/E.Y.E style with only passing references to WH40K war stuff

t. someone who only really knows 40k stuff from the dawn of war games

>remembrancer befriends some random marine

>set up for sequel

I would suck a dozen dicks for a 40k miniseries made in the same vein as Band of Brothers, following an IG squad as they push deep into enemy lines on various worlds (Tau first to let the watcher recognize this is a sci-fi, ease into Rebels and then Cultists and then finally Chaos.)

A movie would, again, be the Imperial Guard as they try to secure a Titan foundry from enemy forces.

It already exists and it's kino.

Just make a detective thriller in a hive city following a chaos cult or something with an inquisitor

No, it would never work without heavy changes to the lore / aesthetics / story.

The only movie that would really work anyways would be an IG based story, that would be pretty cool. Space Marines look too cheesy, and in general are just too cheesy.

>>79946617

>meme race

>>79951740
Oh, and what I meant to say is that changing the aesthetics and lore will trigger all the 40k autists and they won't see the movie anyway, so it wouldn't profit.

Wrong.

Make Dark Heresy: The Movie. Follow around an inquisitor and their retinue. Showcase the staples of 40k (like daemonic horror, large scale warfare, spess mahrens and the like) without trying to cram in every little detail and keeping the story based on a group of characters that are (almost) relatable.

They'd probably license it if some cartoonist wanted to make it.

GW already said it had many offers from some big names of the sector but they didn't accept because they all wanted to change the setting in the movie(s) to make it more available for the "general people"

The only way it could have worked is if they made the movie 20 years ago so that they would have to get creative with the effects

Compare if you will my imaginary practical effect Nurgle with the fat goblin dude from the first Hobbit movie

0 interest in watching some soulless CGI shitfest where you just have space marines spinning through the air and dodging ork rockets in slow mo

no one is going to take that big of a risk financially, if we ever get one it will have a horrendously low budget
