Tommy Wiseau obviously and this joke is probably as old as Yea Forums.

3 hours would barely cover the first 5 minutes of the real time heresy. It'd have to be a mini-series minimum and even then it'd be rushed

mark strong, no doubt on that one

They were young and handsome at the beginning of the Crusade. By the Heresy they were middle aged and war-lined.

Of course being the highest status men in the Galaxy women would find them overwhelming even if they were octopi, but we don't look to women for their aesthetic tastes.

...isnt the horus heresy basically just horus going
>lol fuck you dad imma kill you
and the emperor just killing him, costing him his life in the process?

No, it's more nuanced than that. At first horus rebelled because he thought that the emperor would replace or kill the spess mahrines like the thunder warriors. Then, he wanted to rule and thought the emperor was a hypocrite. Near the end he was possessed and his reason was mostly
>Durr emperor bad chaos good hurr

Yes but also him getting half his brothers in on the mutiny and hey guess what fedora tippers GODZ N DEMUNZ HOW U LIKE THAT

Sort of, but Horus also had a lot of reasons for rebelling as did the other Primarch's. The Emperor handled these issues very badly as well

Yeah. Despite being demigods and Big E basically being an actual living god they all had human flaws that were the undoing of their family and all its works.

Except Gulliman. He was and is as reliable as a Swiss watch.

Isnt the emperor a perpetual
wont he just resurrect if he dies?
why does the imperium sacrifice so much in keeping him alive

who are the retributor chapter and what is the argosa uprising? google doesn't bring up anything.
also what was with those psykers at the end? i didn't recognize the facial markings or that cybernetic gear they had on. it's been a while since i've followed 40k

Perpetuality is not infallible. The Emperor had been struck down by weapons imbued with the powers of the dark gods who were altering these instruments expressly to kill Him.

If the Emperor thought he could rely on his ability to resurrect he wouldn't have ordered Dorn to inter him on the Golden Throne.

My fucking sides. What's he thinking with that mustache

Homebrew lore for the fanfilm. Keeps you from being distracted by baggage so you can focus on that guy's ideas of how Astartes do combat.

that makes sense.

You can still kill a perpetual it's just hard and not known by most

>What's he thinking
About ten year old boys alone on the playground around dusk.

Threadly reminder that trying to depict beings like the Emperor and the Primarchs would never work in any visual medium and Black Library hack writers can’t do them justice in the books either.

1. they dont know if he will ressurect
2.if he dies the holy terra will be swarmed by demons in 0.1 second and kill everyone.
3. Emperor isnt actually corpse he opens warp gates and keeps ships on right astrophat while protecting crew from demons

Reminder that 40k literally stole its entire story from Dune

From 'The First Heretic', Page 56:
>Despite the vigour of youth, age lines showed time's tracks across features that were both stern and gentle, all at once. The man's appearance depended entirely upon which facet of his face one focused on. He was a tired, aging man, and a heroic statue immortalized in life's prime. He was a young, grimacing warlord with cold eyes, and a confused elder on the edge of weeping.
He'd have to be 5 or 6 actors superimposed on each other.

Oh I was just pointing out the lore that 40k ripped off. The Dune series is pretty good if you're interested in far-future sci-fi

We have this thread regularly and the only answer is James Purefoy.

>They could make a 90 minute movie about the Horus Heresy and have it be satisfying.
They couldn’t, though. Let’s just say they streamline it as much as possible since they couldn’t possibly introduce the thousands of characters in the series. Where do you start? When the Emperor promotes Horus to Warmaster? Let’s say yes. How long do you follow the Luna Wolves? How do you introduce all the Primarchs? How do you show the traitor Primarchs being corrupted?

The story is so unbelievably complicated that if you tried to fit it all in a single movie, hell even a LOTR style massive trilogy, you would piss off and alienate a massive portion of fans solely because you would have to totally cut out huge swathes of storyline including certain legions, important factions like the Eldar and Adeptus Mechanicus, most of the Primarchs wouldn’t get enough screen time, etc. it’s just insane to argue you could do it in 90 minutes.

This or a skeleton depending on the time period

Here's your skeleton of a movie:

>second half is the defense of Terra
>before cut to credits Loyal chapters hop in their ships after traitors
I said satisfying, not perfect or autistic. That's the Horus Heresy, it's what everyone knows when they first get into 40k, and the fanfiction of the series comes after you already love it.

He looks like the artist rendering of a guy with a primer colored van

why did sanguinus tried to talk to h*rus even though he can see the future and know it wont work

>Anybody seen Horus?

He can see some glimpses of possibilities. In one of those futures Horus actually turns back. Also Horus was his favorite brother so he still couldn't believe what was happening.

the reveal that Lorgar is corrupt could be an opening to the film, their is lots of ways you could play it, but a mini series would be best, even better would be a one based on the gaurdsmen and it could actually work, but your all going to wank over the heresy anyway so start with lorgar being outed as a chaos worshiper

Right Said Fred

If/when they make a big budget 40k movie, what I suggested is way closer to reality than anything else.

Me

Yeah and it's shit, I hope they will be a bit smarter than you and take risks rather than waste this franchise on a generic blockbuster script that can only lead to commercial failure. 40k isn't popular enough for that, this only works with franchises big enough that the name is the only appeal. Otherwise, smart producers who actually want to make money have to find a bit more to draw crowds.

>Casting the empror
>Setting the movie during the HH at all
The only way it can be done is by doing it in 40k. You can't put the HH on screen and especially not the emperor.
Have it set in the 41 or 42 millenium and have everything about the HH by myth, legend and religion. As it should be.

>Daughter hater
The Emperor does not hate his children. Is it any coincidence that the Emperor demands that each of his children "gene-seed" their children and those children "gene-seed" their "battle-brothers"? Of course not. The Emperor loves his children and inseminates them often. Unlike the daughter-hater who refuses to do so.

And out of those 50 books 40 are filler
Major plotpoints that might deserve some coverage in a series:
-Lorgar and Erebus getting corrupted
-Horus' corruption
-Burning of Prospero
-Dropsite massacre
-flight of the eisenstein
-Signus Prime
-a one-off episode of Mars and the formation of the Dark Mechanicum
-Shadow Crusade from Calth to Angron getting his demonroids to close Lorgar's arch that might begin from his corruption
-Imperium Secundus mostly focused on Kurze
Siege of Terra

These are some of the more pivotal, important shit that happened without the retarded bloat like Vulkan's entire storyline thats basically Nick Kyme being a shitty writer, anything related to perpetuals or whatever malcador the sigillite was up to

Seriously the Beast Rises storyline is more useable for a warhammer 40k series

The HH is the best. a 40k story wouldnt work because you would have people talking about primarchs and the emperor with nothing to base it on.
Having the battle for Terra and the Istvaan III and the drop site massacre on the bigscreen would be pure Kino.
Fulgrims book alone translated to the bigscreen would be game changing.

Which is part of the point.
The setting an empire so fallen and stagnant that only a miracle is keeping it together. The legends around the emperor only build the framework of any possible 40k movie. It is in fact the point that these epics have fallen into rumor and religion.
And lets be honest HH only makes sense and can be apprechiated if you know what it leads to. Which would be 40k, as it is the main setting.
