Never played with the little plastic toys as it was an obvious money sink, got the vidya instead and was rewarded with way more fun for way less money.

I've been reading the Horus Heresy, but like I can remember all the descriptions.

I know the Salamanders and White Scars, are the Imperial Fists the Yellow ones?
Any of the three blacks are the Iron Hands, one of the two Blue marines are the Ultramarines but I don't know the rest.

>>81276222
For the lore? Try reading pages on the Lexicanum first(it's a wiki). Start with the Emperor considering he embodies 30k/40k then start clicking on connecting articles until you can get a general picture of what the universe entails. Then start looking up the books linked on the pages that interest you and read them. It's what I did and it worked out for me. Let me know if you have further questions.

>>81264920
Just cast any generic handsome tan guy.

His body is going to be twelve foot tall and CGI, his voice is going to be dubbed over and made unnaturally booming by sound design, he's meant to be super enigmatic, so it's not like the actor has to be that good at facial acting.

What's more important is casting him right for those rare moments when he takes on a simpler, more jovial form to talk to a mortal in secret, like in the last church.

Last church actually gets funnier when you read it imagining the emporer as Rust Cole, exactly how he was dressed in True Detective.

So like the guy in The Man From Earth?

Born a caveman, for some unknown reason stopped aging and never died. Accidentally became Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed. Got sick of it and just spent the next century earning degrees in every subject imaginable.

He's not actually black. He's a white guy with a malfunctioning pigmentation gland. Same for his whole legion.

Faggot, give a real answer.

>>81264920

I'm inclined to go with this, >>81265398, but only if it's set after the Horus Heresy and you only see him in the intro to set the stage. If the HH is what the first season or movie or whatever is actually about, you'll need to cast him; and if that's the case you basically just need a big guy with at least some gravitas, Russell Crowe or literally Tom Hardy come to mind.

>>81288286
You can't do Horus Heresy first. You have to set up the 40k universe, so people know who people are and why we should care.
