Does 40K even have a big enough or diverse fan base for a film? The fans are like 95% male...

The actual 40k setting takes itself 100% seriously despite how ridiculous it is, that's part of the appeal of it. Not gonna find much quips or shit like that in anything written in-universe

>Does 40K even have a big enough or diverse fan base for a film?

The fanbase is far too autistic for any movie to be made outside some stupid fanshit. The plot is so retarded within 40k that it's impossible for a pitch to go over any kind of decent level.

They have made films based on the boardgame Battleship and the toy Rock'em Sock'em Robots, why not 40K?

I don't know about 40K, but I do know about Starcraft. and I know that Starship Troopers was the best and only Starcraft movie ever made, whether it was intentional or not, I don't know.

But maybe a 40K movie should be like that. a non-canon movie but set with all the pieces in place

>diverse fan base
Its fanbase is nearly one hundred percent white nerds with ridiculous amount of disposable cash. Tau Mantis airship model costs over £1000. It's one of the most niche hobbies in nerd sphere.
It doesn't appeal to wider audience by any stretch of imagination.

>Starship Troopers was the best and only Starcraft movie ever made
This has to be a bait, right?

>the last church
In which a dumb fedora puts his dumb fedora arguments—which even other atheists know are dumb—into the mouth of a 38,000 year old immortal super-genius so that he can "debate" some rando priest, "BTFO" religion and "justify" wiping it out with violence.

Holy fuck was 30k a mistake.

>over £1000.
wtf is that resale or retail

Not really. The consumer base is certainly large enough, but they aren't really the same demographic that goes out and watches big films. And if you can't convince the fans you sure as shit can't convince anyone else.

The main issue is that the setting is just straight up incomprehensible dogshit unless you're already heavily invested in it. The only way to tell a believable story that will also sell tickets is to make it a microcosm of human society and at that point it's so narrow that you might as well make your own science fiction film without having to fellate GW lawyers every time there's a rewrite.

This is the poster child for ridiculously expensive models, but there are much more expensive ones currently in production. A Warlord with head, arms, and guns is pushing $2,000 USD. It's worth noting that these are specialist resin models for experienced hobbyists, though, not the plastic stuff they make simple enough for children to just superglue together.

I said adaptation, not word for word remake.

If you want to introduce audiences into an apocalyptic, grim, setting like 40k it's better to set up a prologue or prequel that's slightly more "grounded", at least compared to what comes after.

Either a movie inspired from the Unification Wars or the Last Church would be a good way into introduce audiences into the setting.

Retail my friend. And that isn't even proper custom workshop made model.

One of the biggest problems with the Horus Heresy is that the emperor and most primarchs, who are all supposed to be really smart, are unbelievably retarded. I mean unbelievably, in the literal sense of the term.

That's mostly because they let eighty writers write about the exact same subject over a ten year timespan. Everything's inconsistent and nothing makes sense because there's no coherent narrative and nobody bothered to consult with anyone else before putting their ideas down. Giving a single person creative control would result in a coherent story.

>specialist resin models for experienced hobbyists, though, not the plastic stuff they make simple enough for children to just superglue together.

Considering all models used to be resin and GW made them plastic to save on production AND kept the prices, it is not much of a difference.

The problem is GW shits all over their fans at every possible opportunity, they are literally crashing their franchise with no survivors. Intentionally. Remember these are brits we're talking about. Self-flagellating, self-loathing, guilt-ridden eunichs who welcome invaders with open arms. Like if the Imperial Guard suddenly caught a guilt disease and welcomed in Tyrannids with open arms.

It's a bad introduction because the Horus Heresy was a bad introduction. It's a bunch of poor-to-middling writers trying to come up with a way to justify why the Imperium is in the state that it's in, using canon materials written when 40k was an overt joke setting rather than a self-serious one.

They are all self contained. Horus heresy is set 10k years in the past and explains why things are the way they are. Reading the first three back to back is a must but after that you can bounce around. There is a flow chart online

It's horse shit. Most jumps nothing happens just once in a blue moon a ship may crash into a Space Hulk or get attacked by Warp creatures.

The setting is split in half. The Horus Heresy is the backstory, set in the year 30,000, which explains why the universe is the way it is. Everything else is set in the year 40,000 in the now totally fucked up universe. You can start at either end, or both simultaneously. It doesn't matter. There's no coherent start or end and the middle hasn't even been written about.

This. When Warp travel goes wrong it goes extremely wrong (to put it mildly) but the vast majority of the time it does not. If interstellar travel was THAT unreliable the Imperium could not exist.

The old short story collection Deathwing is still one of the best.

Not really. Even in the more-advanced Imperium of the 30k era there's a novel where Guilliman bemoans how hes lost about 10% of his fleet from Warp travel alone and this isn't even out of the ordinary.

oops

Reading the original rulebook, Rogue Trader, is probably the best absolute starting point since that is where everything began.
Or you could just read the current codices. /tg/ has a general handy with links.

Ciaphas Cain is pretty entertaining. Though for some reason they keep changing the characters and enemy with each new reprinting.

yeah I heard about the book, and I didn't mean to imply that Starship Troopers was an actual Starcraft movie, just that it's the closest movie to the Starcraft universe that exists. and the fact that it's so damn close is really something else.

It's a game first and a setting second. It'd probably make sense to read the rule books since they contain all of the necessary background for the individual factions.

Blew my mind when my buddy told me that a Protoss like race shows up later.

The horus heresy books are pretty good. The first three were good.

People are too stupid to understand with so little information

Black Legion sucks ass. The whole novel feels like a prologue to some other story, Khayon is obnoxious, and the bits with future Khayon telling a bunch of inquisitors how everything is just as planned is cringy as fuck.

Ravenor is wildly overrated. It's the obligatory cash-grab sequel to an otherwise self-contained and quality original.

In my two decades of warhammer experience I have come to the impression that marines are supposed to have all sorts of personal additions to their armors. Purity seals, warrior cult ceremonial stuff, campaign badges, marks of honour and skill. Armor should also be somewhat piecemeal after all the replacement of damaged parts. Often mixing different marks of power armor into a very unique composition.

Sounds like you need to do a 40k Skyrim playthrough.

No. They'd fuck it up.

It had an official film, and it was complete trash. Famous actors who couldn't VA, were too weak/old/flat. No weight in the Ultramarines movement, they had the weight of a feather. Terrible animation. Not enough gritty combat.

Go watch Helsreach, and then join us in begging for Astartes to hurry the fuck up as it's the best we have. Personally i would love a serious game, fucking huge, but well done. They've had 1 good game, but it faded into obscurity and the MP is dead. CDPR should make the game. As for a film, nah. Fan films will always be better, but how about a CGI show instead, with the budget, and created by real fans rather than people just working for a paycheck.

Unfortunately the Emperor was right.

If Magnus hadn't fucked things up he would have been able to move most of humanity into the Webway and give the Chaos Gods the middle finger while humanity evolved into a psychic race that could empower him to take them down and then have humanity lord over the galaxy to a level undreamed of since the Old Ones.

However, as you note, he's extremely arrogant. He didn't explain shit to anyone, just told them what to do.

It would have to be in full CGI. Hollywood would spin it into some live action cringefest where real people seem out of place.

I'd fuck that tech priestess

Could have said the exact same thing about comics as a medium a decade ago.

God no. 40k fans would just pirate it.

I bet you think the Star Wars prequel films are well written.

Who wouldn't

Anything by Dan Abnett is good

>the main run of 30K books is legitimately horrible once it gets to the actual heresy
>30K is pretty much the only thing that gets audiobooks, at least retroactively
This sucks. I would legitimately like to see some Fantasy stuff get audio books done, Night Lords would also be good. I've never checked out Gaunt's Ghosts but from the reception that sees it'd be nice if that had audiobooks as well, but it seems like they'll only do the new ones.

As an Eldar man, I'd shit my pants in joy if I got to see an Eldar Titan on film

Ciaphas Cain is too high and Last Chancers is too low but otherwise its fine

>I'm a coward
>So I heroically charged the necron tomb-lord and body-slammed him, because that seemed like the only way I could survive
First book got it right, he was literally running away leaving his men to die, but after that it got silly

>having sex with an heretek
The Magus won't like this

Most of books do barely anything to world building. They almost require knowing the setting. Unironically best place to start would be short stories that are on rulebooks and other game material. It is a patchwork lot of very short stories.

Chaos cultists, that demands exterminatus.

are all space marines actually virgins?
when do they have time to fuck? who do they fuck?

Read some warhammer monthly comics

>Demons made of RAPE and LEMON JUICE
but that's what they are

Sisters of Battle, of course!

>are all space marines actually virgins?
Only if they didn't do it before the genetic modifications

After that they arn't even human anymore. After all that genetic modification and cybernetic enhancement, I don't think they even could if they wanted to.

too white and too male centric
nothing warhammer will ever get made in hollywood

>vault
Personally I could see it just being engine room access, they're just going to blow up the whole ship by sabotaging it.

they just need to add Battle Nuns, Lots and lots of Battle Nuns

All he ever had to do was talking to Magnus, explaining the true nature and dangers of the warp.
Hell he should have told everyone, because we saw in the Interex that it works when everyone knows chaos is literall deamons that want to eat your soul and that whatever "gift" you may get will fuck you over forever.

I'd post battle nuns but the browse button will not work in this thread only to add images

>Is there enough fans for a warhammer 40k movie?
I dont honestly think that would be the issue. I didn't think there were enough people for cap movies. I think if the movie looks really fucking good, It'll draw non-fans and make them into fans. A movie? maybe, A show? I'd love to see that but only if handled well

You have to understand, the Primarchs see the Emperor as their father, but he views them the same way you would look at a screwdriver. Do you explain to the screwdriver that you are trying to build a chair before you start screwing things in?

The Emperor's mistake was that he underestimated his Primarchs.

40k is just barbies for sexless nazis

Amen to Abnett.
Also recommending The Emperors Gift and Ciaphus Cain

It doesn't take a christian to understand that the emperors arguments in that story are downright sophomoric.

what a cringe picture and incredibly inaccurate picture, 40k would be more popular if its fans wernt spergs and turbo autists.

I would if the screwdriver were to be able to act on its own and likely make a choice based on the facts he has that would not be to my liking.

Should have tried to work incel in to the post.

Wait, that video goes for two minutes. how is there a half hour video about it?

>The fans are like 95% male
and that is NOT okay! all male spaces must be destroyed, and that's a good thing.

and that was the Emperor's mistake, he underestimated them. Lorgar especially.

what happened to her?

Don't the techpriests of Mars go fucking bezerk with machine-god rage whenever people forget to clean and maintain their armors and weapons?

Well obviously it has the potential to be amazing with so many books written about 40k lore. there's source material for several dozens of movies easily. But putting out a cerebral, 18+ rated series of movies that require top tier VFX to work is unlikely imo. Maybe it can become a good tv show with a serviceable CGI department

Got the giant SPEESSSSHHHH MAHRINE cock

Dead Men Walking is pretty good. Fucked through the whole thing.

Yes. And sometimes the machines get mad as well and then either refuse to function or otherwise maliciously malfunction.

orks don't have this problem

I think Space Wolves still do. Most of the other chapters are too autistic.

Yeah but not with humans, so it doesn't count

died for the Emperor.

They do occasionally, but orks don't care.

Bruh the eldr warriors are mostly feemale and they've always been one of the most important races in 40k. female representation is not an issue

>/fit/ wasting food

Nice try.

Starcraft took huge inspiration from starship troopers. Especially the cinematics style in brood war for terran earth. Obiviously 40k was the influence for starcraft as a whole though.

It kind of went back and forth. 40k marines inspired the Starcraft marine armor somewhat, while the awful-looking early Tyranids were made to look more like Zerg.

No, the series attracts the most high strung fucks to it. Shit would flop so fucking hard

I would prefer Guardsman/Space Marine buddy flick

The recruitment of Space Wolves marines on Fenris had the same idea. Introduce the WH40K world to the barbarian boy who is taken into the stars.

My Neger. Titanicus and Scars are the peak of warhammer novels.

Along with Legion and Ravenor.

maybe they are barren on dried up?

the imperium isn't run terribly well

how can he be right if there are gods and he wanted to be one as well?

k, I guess. so you'd expect around 1 female to every 1000 men just due to how the performance curve works itself out on the edges. and you're limited to only the population of barren females. let's take a super generous 10% of females for that. so maybe one in every 10000 soldiers is a female. that's not unreasonable.

sure ain't what we get in the fluff though. entire female regiments all over the place, with massive numbers of female IGs in just about every book out there. latest gaunt's ghosts book I read even had long diatribes of female IGs lamenting how sexist and oppressive their society is

A single Hive world, among the million worlds in the Imperium, can raise a million woman soldiers for each tithe, just to make some more room in the lower levels for more women.

The only resource the Imperium possess in abundance is manpower, they are more limited by the number of rifle available than the number of soldiers.

I for one welcome our new 40k overlore'ds. I have no idea what it's about but good thread.

Doh I thought that said Canadian Honor and was looking for a maple leaf on her armor

Not fair this thread will not let up browse and upload an image and i have 30 40k battle nuns

welcome to 40ktism

Alright. Let's accept that premise. Do you think this will result in *more* or *less* female soldiers?

>legion
>medicore

>mechanicum
>mediocre

I'm afraid of what the bad ones are, then. Mechanicum was fucking awful.

Also why does /tg/ love the Thousands Sons so much? Is it just because they're space autists?

>Let's accept that premise

It's a fact of the setting. You literally don't even know anything about 40k and are just hijacking it to rant about women.

You idiots are so disappointing.

1/1000000 guardsmen could be women and that would be millions of female guard

>Maybe if I vaguely act like I haven't been caught out as the grown loser man equivalent of a fake gamer girl stereotype it'll all go away.

yeah I don't give a shit dude, I was responding to that idiot making an argument as if he thinks that makes it more likely there'll be female soldiers, even though what actually happens when you're limited by equipment is you have FEWER female soldiers because there are so many of the top-tier men around that they don't have to lower requirements enough that they end up letting in retards, manlets, and women

>N-No I refuse to believe that the imperium is an overpopulated hellhole where manpower is so abundant to the point that the main imperial army thinks it's better to throw more bodies at a problem

they justify it the way 40k justifies everything, somewhere there's a planet with an integrated military and that's where they came from

It could work if they made it sorta like Apocalypse Now except in space, with some inquisitor or something going in to investigate a rogue Imperial Guard officer in some death world and finding out he's now running the show in an encampment of mutants he was supposed to be purging and has been corrupted by chaos himself. Final scene is the MC calling air support by ordering an exterminatus on the planet.

ADB was a mistake.

Yeah, going lore-heavy is the dumbest thing ever but there are plenty self-contained stories. It wouldn't be hard to make a simple horror for 30m about inquisitor doing inquisitory stuff.

Black Library have become a bunch of liberal SJW faggots lately shoehorning stronk womyn everywhere they don't belong. ADB the arch-faggot recently lamented how the Directors refused his idea for stronk female Custodes.

The new books can spout whatever shit they want but hard numbers were given canonically years ago.
Women make up ~10% of the Guard, almost entirely in all-female rearline regiments.

All these new authors with their nonsensical mixed gender pet regiments are just speshul OC donut steel wankers.

Stay away from my hobby you fucking normies
