Warhammer 40,000: The Series

fuck off /tg/. you'll ask for it but when you get it you'll be butthurt because it won't be perfect.

Definitely center it around a new recruit to the inquisition, his interactions with xenos, internal battle against chaos and him losing faith in the emperor

>>84649142
And in the finale, space marines kill him while clearing the planet for exterminatus

I liked the beginning to that Horus Heresy novel about the assassins, where two guys were trying to solve some random murders on a backwater agricultural planet. Perhaps something like that, with some inquisition shenanigans and stuff thrown in.

I wouldn't
The source material is super shit

That tech priest looks weird.

>>84649190
I would make the ending a tragedy
And maybe the setting is a new ((diverse)) colony, but it all slowly falls to chaos throughout the show

Mostly human stories and not overboard on 40k imagery so a normal budget could accommodate it, but there could easily be chaos, eldar/tau, imperial hierarchy, and one wild card xenos

>>84649055
Would have to be centered around an Inquisitor or a Rogue Trader. Serenity was done, so something along these lines is possible, but it'd be hard to play up the grimdark right - super serious might just come off as tryhard and edgy, playing it for laughs would irritate me personally (everything is ironic, nothing is sincere. No grimdark and there'd be no point to making it a 40k series instead of an original SF series.

>>84649055
As long as there's no cliché drama, constant fighting, footage of the 20 hour Space Marine training, orks being orks, and also WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, then I'm sold.

Gaunt's Ghosts or Eisenhorn.

I like the idea of something that takes place on outskirts or backwater colony in strategic place for the Imperium so they get interesting people constantly coming through.

>>84649210
Holy mother fucking shit where can I get that?

For the love of the Emperor I must have it!!

A show about a Knight household would be cool.

>>84649512

This but make sure they dont ruin it which they most certainly would.

>>84649055
Probably focused on an Imperial Guardsmen from a backwater world whom are unfamiliar with the greater workings of the Imperium but similar enough to ourselves that we can relate to them. After a short campaign where exterminatus falls and everybody but him dies, he is inducted into an Inquisitor's retinue.

Seasons are short with each one focusing on a particular investigation until it culminates in either the guardsmen becoming an Inquisitor himself or he dies a matyr.

>>84649601
just redo Sharpe but add laser effects and shit.

>>84649142

Lmao.

There is absolutely no chance that if a 40k movie came out it wouldn't be centered around a Space Marine doing John Wick-tier ass kicking.

The time span of the lore is so huge, you could explore with several stories happening at different eras and having them impact/reflect each other.

Kinda like The Son or Invisible Republic but over thousands of years.

It would be a mess that nobody would ever want to produce and too few viewer to warrant any huge financing.

10+ season tv drama centered on Horus Heresy
with first season about Horus and his rise until he gets turned by the end
2nd season about Lorgar and the plans leading to Istvan V
3rd season about loyalist shit drama and reactions to Istvan
and then you can keep adding random battles and drama and betrayal for who knows how many seasons as the book series will probably never end as they keep pumping one shit book out one after another as the war goes nowhere and cash just keeps coming in so why stop and advance the plot

George Clooney right now is the perfect age to play an older Ciaphas Cain in the opening years of the 42nd millennium.

>>84649055
Take a Dark Heresy campaign and make it into a NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

A bunch of fat autists playing table top games

>>84653724
Any series about the Primarchs would suck, as their stories are basically Shakespearian tragedies mixed with greek mythology; super powerful but deeply flawed beings falling inevitably into conflict with each other. There's a reason why the best known Warhammer works are things like Gotrek and felix, Ciaphas Cain and Gaunts Ghosts, they are more relatable.

Real real real small scale slice of life, day in the Imperium type shit at all different levels of human existence, hive city scum and forge world factory workers, peasants on backwaters worlds who don't even know about the Emperor besides fairy tales, that sort of shit
I think Dredd nailed that style. Saving the universe every week gets fucking boring, have that going on in the background if needs be but I'm more interested in the day-to-day

Bad.

>>84649055
live action doesn't really suit the series well due to 40k aesthetics looking retarded with real humans, so i'd want to avoid the marines and focus on an inquisitor, run it like a detective series, with a tone similar to the first season of true detective but with actual demons involved. lots of it would be shot in european towns with gothic architecture, narrow streets and dark alleyways.

but here's what i'd rather do. 5 seasons of animated series, the first four are about marines from 4 chapters and their seasonal arcs against a medium sized big bad, could be a heretic or xeno depending on the chapter. i'd like to have salamanders in there because of pyro aesthetics, and maybe some white claws for nomadic flavor. all these seasons end with these guys either presumed dead or injured or otherwise benched. the fifth season is all four drafted into a deathwatch squad, fighting against an even bigger bad. i'd maybe throw in little hints every season to connect the seasonal baddies to the main man.

>Rogue Trader
This. It's the only way a 40k series would realistically work as something appealing to a general audience while remaining reasonably faithful to canon.

You can show off the grimdark setting as a sort of backdrop to the series, but the protagonists are so far above it all that you can have fun stuff like fugging the Eldar pirate princess and forcing planetary governors to sign trade contracts under threat of orbital bombardment.

A comedy about a space marine that is left behind amongst slaneeshi chaos space marines and has to pretend he's one of them to survive.

You know it wouldn't turn out that way. The protagonist would inevitably fall in love with a cute Eldar or Tau and there'd be this whole implied theme that the Imperium's persecution of aliens is like modern day racism. There'd be at least one major character who didn't believe in the Emperor, and he'd be like the wise mentor or something.

Someone needs to meme Trump into buying GW and personally financing a faithful 40k movie as a sort of propaganda piece for his worldview.
