My personal would be Battle for Macragge. Nothing better than SM against impossible odds. + final stand of the 1'st company must be EPIC.
What's your opinion?

P.S. You can also add you candidate.

None of the above. The 1st War for Armagedon would be awsome , some proper 40k action not like that crap "Ultramarines" film.

I would say the invasion of Rynn's World.
Crimson Fists versus endless amounts of Ork's.

Fall of Damnos if only to see how they do the Necron Phasing and movement in the movie, would be some cool effects. If not that then something with 'Nids.

3rd war of Armaggedon. Ghazzy vs Yarrick and a whole buncha green brilliant

The next movie is a planned sequel to the first.


it will be a little more in depth for sure.



it can't be the battle for Maccragge, because the Strike Cruiser in the movie has Battle for Maccragge art as the stained glass window and the comic book had the company fighting Tyranids before they came to Mithron.

I'd like to see the raid on Sanctuary 101. Kinda downbeat but it would look pretty good up there on the screen.

Of the options, listed, I voted for Iyanden.

The battle for maccragge would be alsome calgar vs hundreds of tiranids

because Dan Abnett said so?

They can't do Macragge because it's going to feel like a Starship Troopers ripoff. Face it, anything with swarms of giant space bugs fighting guys with guns...is going to be like Starship Troopers.

3rd War of Armageddon for me. I definitely want to see the Orks fighting those pesky humies!

as for Starship trooper rip off, if they made it awsome enough, people would realize that 40k's the real deal.

and that STs is actually a rip off of 40k.

Grey Templar wrote:

That movie can wait, Abnett is cool guy but in 40k everything is on great scale. And I personally think that they should make movie with big space/ground battle next.
And Dan doesn't deciding when it comes to the 40k - GW does.

We have a lot of movies and games with big bugs, and the people love it. And today everything is ripoff of everything. But still people openly welcome new ideas and sci-fi universes. I would like to se the last stand of the Terminators in BoM, that would be epic.
Armageddon would be nice to. Million of Guardsman against million of Orks.

Well, ST is older than 40k. But in moves they have definitely copy Imperium. And if you see ST closely, you notice that they look like IG.

I am pretty sure they will stick to keeping Abnett writing the movie scripts for awhile.


in an Interview before the release he mentioned they had a sequel in the pipeline. and they have mentioned that they won't be changing any of the existing books into Movies for a good while, since it takes alot of work to do that.


Personally, i would love to see Titanicus made into a movie, but i keep my expectations low so as not to be too disappointed if something does flop.

3rd war of armagenddon, IG vs orks i think is waaaaaaaaaaaay bette rthan SM vs chaos bordom, least IG and orks would be brutal and funny.

I think a battle from the 13th Black Crusade would be nice, with the movie shown from the eyes of both a desperate Imperial commander commanding the defence and a chaos champion who is desperate to beat the Imperials in time so that he does not anger his superiors for his slow progress.

I think a few people might have seen this coming but I thin that the next movie needs to be based on the Gaunt's ghosts omnibuses or at least being about the Sabbat Crusade, Maybe something following the story of Warmaster Slaydo?

For the sake of the poll I voted for the third war for armageddon

And you really think that would happen? They had enough complaints on their animation techniques and the work they did on small amounts of Marines.

Millions of Guardsmen and millions of Orks? Not gonna happen until the movies become mainstream rather than simply direct to dvd.

Starship Troopers is older than 40k, but the Arachnids in the book were not anything like the ones introduced in the film. The Arachnids in the book were highly intelligent, wielded guns, etc. The people who wrote the original "Bughunt" script had ripped off the Tyranids for their film. When they found out the rights for Starship Troopers were available, they bought it and slapped it on their piece of crap movie.

And if you see ST closely, you notice that they look like IG.

Because the helmets they bought were cast-offs from the prop company that did them for the live action cutscenes for the early 40k games.

Souldrinkers would be pretty awesome.

Maybe somewhere that hasn't been featured in media or novels. I thought it would be good to see fall of medusa V cos you could see it from every race's point of view. But as it is tht would probably be too long for a full film

I wasn't aware 40k was around in the 50s.

Still, so much rips off ST that I don't see making it look like a ST ripoff is a problem. Be more worried about all the idiotic 'this rips off starcraft!' reactions.

Space Marines. It will be about space marines. What else do we need to say? In all likelihood, they will be ultras, because they are the favorites.

Like I said - Imperial Guard.

Here is why ST is a rip off of 40k.


GW, approached Blizzard about developing a Warhammer 40k, which was still in the developing stages, video game.

GW backed out of the deal and Blizzard took some of the ideas GW had and made ST.


the ONLY reason GW hasn't sued Blizzard is because ST was finished before 40k was finalized and they wouldn't have anything to stand on.



ST, however, was based off the pre-rogue trader fluff and as such is fairly different. a incomplete 40k if you will.

...You do realize that the "Old Republic" shorts 'Hope' and 'Deceived' cost almost a hundred thousand dollars each yeah?

High quality animation of that caliber is never used for full on movies.
Do you know why?

It's expensive as all hell.

At best, you're going to see the level of animation from the DC movies--but they would look far too corny to the GW audience that couldn't even stomach the graphics we saw for Ultramarines.

I think Damocles Gulf would be interesting. It would be my vote for a movie geared towards 40k fans. However, 'nids as the enemy would sell better to the public, so I voted for Macarrage.

I think you mean Starcraft and not ST (Starship Troopers). Starship Troopers has nothing to do with Blizzard that I'm aware of, and predates 40k by decades. Nor would they have had any grounds to sue Blizzard given that half of the things 40k abd SC have in common were pulled from Starship Troopers.

Also, wasn't that falling out over Warcraft/WHFB, almost a decade before?

O, yeah

I get those mixed up all the time.

They are rather similar

yeah, it's easy.

As I understand it GW have money as hell have daemons. Why won't they invest in something that will bring them secure profit? And they can do it at least with CGI from the DoW II.

Games Workshop has been entirely hands off on the project. About all they did was license it out and let Dan Abnett work on it.

There was a full miniatures game, worked on by Andy Chambers shortly after he departed GW. It was doing well...but then it bombed.
The 'Roughnecks Chronicles' did okay, but they were such watered down kids stuff that it was a missed chance.

And the company that did the CGI from DOW II is the same company that did 'Hope' and 'Deceived'.

Basically: GW has money, but most of it's tied up in maintaining their stores and production capability. There's not that much they can throw around willynilly.

THQ/Relic, who were responsible for the DOW II game, were the ones who paid Blur Studios to do the cinematic intro.

And use GW logo on the film, even if they don't like it?

GW has had nothing to do with the project, outside of Dan Abnett's involvement. Seriously. Nothin' in there is them getting involved. Dan Abnett wrote the script and was basically their eyes and ears for the duration of the project. Everything had to be okayed by Dan or a few people that he designated.

Codex Pictures funded and distributed the movie themselves. GW was very hands off on the project, just licensing the 40k property out and providing a few plugs here and there in the "What's New Today" blog on the website and in White Dwarf.

How is this not getting through to you?

+1 I would definitely love to see a movie for Titanicus.
But it would be far too difficult to make a good movie for this book, too expensive. But if they were actually capable of making a super-3D film with spectacular effects and everything, it would be bloody awesome to see Titans fighting each other.

I would also like to see a movie about space battles. THIS would be epic. A bit like the space battle in Star Wars 3:


After all, 40K is a sci-fi story. And what is sci-fi all about in the first place? Giant space-ships shooting massive salvoes at each other!

Yeah, Armageddon woul be perfect for that.


Ork Roks and Apocalypse battle ships trading salvos,

Space marines conducting boarding actions and Drop Pod assaults,


While on the ground,

Yarrick leads the desperate defense while Ghazskull seeks to face him down.

So Dan Abnett IS the GW.

Pretty much.


Dan was the chief design dude. if it didn't fly with him, it didn't get in.



if GW had actually put some money into the film, gotten more advertising, pushed it, it probably would have done pretty good.

I heard the film is getting shown at a number of Film Festivels around the world though and there are select screenings accross the US(free i might add)

As I seen so far, the majority of 40k fans want's to see good old Human-Ork bashing

What would I want to see? The Horus Heresy or even smaller chance something revolving around the Tanith First. That what I'd *want*

What do I think it will be? Another one shot story line like Ultramarines. Assuming it isn't a straight out sequel and using Ultramarines it will focus on another chapter. Maybe they'll mix the badguys up again this time, but I don't think it will be 'Nids as the production on that would be that much more expensive. Most likely CSM or maybe Necrons or Eldar, something where they do not need to create a whole lot of enemy units. I have no idea how Ultramarines did financially, but I can't imagine it was a blockbuster that is going to justify a huge production budget for the next one.

Storm of iron would be epic

given the lack of a budget, you do what every low budget action movie maker does. YOU MAKE A HORROR MOVIE!

Event Horizon with Space Marines.

That's a good idea, deamon infestation after the gellar field fails, could make for some interesting scenes

I'd like to see something with Tyranids, but that'll be pretty heavy on the computer graphics side of things.

I think the souldrinkers would be nice for the fact that they skirt loyalty to Chaos and loyalty to the imperium. Their story from the omnibus is great and to see it in movie form would be the balls.

Needs humans whatever else is in it.

Mr Nobody wrote:I'd like to see something with Tyranids, but that'll be pretty heavy on the computer graphics side of things.

Well, not necessarily. Think about what mrsmith and Fists of the emperor said.

Guardsmen in an abandoned spaceship+darkness everywhere+genestealers=awesome horror movie!

It would not cost much, introduce a good "grimdark" atmosphere as long with a few of the most terrible aliens in the galaxy and freak the hell out of us because it will be normal humans vs sneaky/killy aliens.

I am surprised to see that there is little interest in Eldar vs. Chaos movie, Soul Drinkers movie and Blood Ravens movie. Is it possible that no one loves Gabriel Angelos?

Mr Nobody wrote:I'd like to see something with Tyranids, but that'll be pretty heavy on the computer graphics side of things.

The wonderful thing about a fully CGI movie, is that you can put in as many special effects and monsters as you like with a minimal effect on the budget.

The Gaunt's Ghost series can be AWESOME pased to the "Big Screen" also, someone mentioned "Storm of Iron" i agree too, that novel is awesome, and really spectacular if you have a good THX sistem....

I am surprised in how many people see this and how few of them vote. Like no one is interested in 40k movie?

Soul Drinkers!

Brother Coa wrote:I am surprised in how many people see this and how few of them vote. Like no one is interested in 40k movie?

Not enough choices to suit everyone. Personally I'd like to see Chaos against the Imperium again, but with Guardsmen and civilians involved, and possibly a couple of other races (Eldar and/or Orks) involved.

Neither Tyranids or Necrons would have personality and the Tau and Dark Eldar are too minor. Although I do quite like the spaceship idea.

I'd like to see the siege of Vervunhive done by hollywood in a similar style to Saving Private Ryan, or Band of Brothers. Be a good way for people who have never heard of 40k to get into it and enjoy it and would please fans as well.

Eisenhorn would be the easiest and the best to do imo; it would end up sort of like Lord of the Rings.

Mr Hyena wrote:Eisenhorn would be the easiest and the best to do imo; it would end up sort of like Lord of the Rings.

Most perturbatory.

Personally liked the Fall of Medusa V. A movie doesn't have to cover all the different things going on except in passing. I'm thinking a desperate race to evacuate a planet facing an impending "natural" disaster. An easy source of suspense. And then, dang it, all these impediments cropping up trying to make life impossible for the main characters. You could have some space stuff as various forces come in. E.g. evac ships and space skirmishes. I like the idea of just introducing the idea that there are a lot of non-human forces out there and they all have their own agendas and humanity just won't get a break. The main characters could easily be civilians rather than military.

Brother Coa wrote:I am surprised in how many people see this and how few of them vote. Like no one is interested in 40k movie?

Probably noone wants to see something that already exists in a 'canonical' format shanghaied to make a half-arsed film.

Oh yeah. It would be long. But Eisenhorn or The Inquisition War or similar provide a stronger story base to give to a wider audience. I mean...people likely won't be interested in a movie thats all about Space Marines roflstomping something; as theres no story. But if its plot-based it can be accepted by people as a generic sci-fi movie much easier. Eisenhorn could be taken as a Detective story.

I know that, what i am seeing here people want to see one good fight in a movie. Because any major battle in 40k would be epic proportions ( like War for Armageddon or Battle for Macragge ).

Fall of Medusa V.

fething 40K ROYAL RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I saw previews of Sucker Punch and Priest last weekend, it almost hurts thinking about a Inquisition/Cain/Gaunt movie with that kind of production quality.

I feel that any SM movie is going to suck, they are just too Mary Sue to ever be interesting in a movie. DW in a Inq movie could be interesting used as a tool of the Ordos Xenos.

I would love to see the Word Bearer CSM books released as movies, great stories that would break the mold of the "good guys always win" theme that is totally pervasive.

IMHO it all comes down to screenplay. I live within walking distance of a very nice movie theater that has great discounts, I see a lot of movies. It is my opinion that good screenplays are the rarest commodity in the movie business. An Inq mystery could make for a great screenplay more easily than most other slug-fest subjects.

The WH40k universe has many, many rules. Like in politics, when you are explaining, you are losing/failing. The only successful recent movie that comes to my mind where rules are explained is Inception.

Grey Templar wrote:

Tyranids would make such an excellent movie threat. All they need is a voiceover at the beginning talking about how the devour all in their path, blah,blah blah. Basically it would be cool to see a Carnifex rip open a land raider.

Lord_Osma wrote:Tyranids would make such an excellent movie threat. All they need is a voiceover at the beginning talking about how the devour all in their path, blah,blah blah. Basically it would be cool to see a Carnifex rip open a land raider.

On the other hand, how are they going to actually make it interesting? A giant swarm of aliens isn't exactly gripping by itself. The focus would have to be continuing on whoever's fighting the Tyranids, which might not be as interesting as seeing the various motivations and thoughts behind both the antagonists and the protagonists.

An Imperial genocidal invasion of Tau space told from the perspective of a Tau warrior, with none of that Chaos stuff.

Great opportunity to tell 40k from the perspective of non-humans, great opportunity to have the Imperium look threatening and uniquely non-heroic, and so on.

The Siege of Vraks, now that would be a good movie.

Harriticus wrote:

Preferably it would point out the Imperium's justification for it (otherwise it'd be like Avatar, with the whole "need it to save Earth" idea not being explained in the film). Possibly have two movies about the same invasion, one from each side?

I'm suprised no ones asked for a Horus Heresy saga

Here goes. Planet, happy, peaceful, prosperous, free, distant and independent. Out of nowhere a administratum adept lands in a shuttle, meets with the leaders and demands compliance. Some want to talk, others strongly reject the imperium. Avatar/Dances with Wolves/Fern Gully ensues. The ones who want to talk resign themselves to helping those that strongly reject the imperium. By the end of the movie it is revealed that the ones that strongly reject the imperium are agents of the ruinous powers. The imperium were the good guys the whole time. Movie ends in exterminatus.

Blast
Just posted my answer on another thread

Given the release of Jokaero my money is on the next 40K movie being Saving Primate Ryan.

Not sure that was worth posting once, let alone twice!

I want to see a live-action film containing humans and/or Eldar. Something that can be done without lots of CGI.

Owain wrote:I want to see a live-action film containing humans and/or Eldar. Something that can be done without lots of CGI.

SoB may make a good movie. Near as I can tell occasionally Lady Gaga apes SoB attire, perhaps she could make an appearance.

UselessSage wrote:SoB may make a good movie. Near as I can tell occasionally Lady Gaga apes SoB attire, perhaps she could make an appearance.

Too late, Sucker Punch.

A movie wouldn't do the HH justice, what we need is a multi-million dollar series chronicling every event *drool*.

I can only hope in the next 40k 'movie' that there's less walking and a bit more action...and better facial animation ofc!

As much as I don't want another Ultramarines movie, the Battle For Macragge would be epic

I forget where I saw it pointed out, I think it was 4Chan /tg/, Event Horizon is effectively WH2k.

Armaggedon for me please.

Mostly just wanna see Yarrick and a bunch of orks.

They will hopefully keep from doing something epic until Codex Pictures has more money/skill. Maybe by movie 3 or 4 we'll get something truly awesome, like a Horus Heresy movie.

Maybe we'll get something with an actual plot; rather than a pure actionfest.

Whatever it is... I just want one f****** HUGE battle. With ships, and tanks, and lot of Guardsman, and lot of Marines fighting against Orks or Chaos or Tyranids...
That's what the public needs to start love Warhammer40k...

40k generally doesn't leave a whole lot for character development. I feel like if you want to see the 40k Universe on the big screen, you would be better off focusing on some of the specialist games that take place in that universe.

For example, Dark Heresy could very easily put to movie format. Inquisitorial agents hunting traces of daemons? Awesome!

Necromunda, a futuristic gang warfare flick? Possibly doable.


It's hard to capture the essence of 40k in a movie that isn't an hour to two hours of constant fighting. If you were going to do it, though, your best options for character development would include Imperial Guard, Space Wolves, and Eldar. Nids would probably make the best bad guys.

I'd say the bad has to be one that simple in character. Something people will understand in less than a minutes explanation. So orks or Tyranids.

I think Maccrage would be good. Has familiarity for the general public with the Starship Troopers -esque Tyranids. Also has the opportunity to showcase all the awesomeness of SMs.

But no chance at story beyond 'Kill the tyranids!'.

Well you can expand it to, "kill the Tyranids, this is how we feel about it".

Crimson Fists versus endless amounts of Ork's.

I couldnt agree more id love to see Pedro and Cortez messing up some orks!

If it's a genestealer infestation then there is heaps of chance for some good plot lines. Doing that means you can bring in Arbites, Inquisition, PDF, underhive gangs and then finished off with a nid fleet arriving and maybe being headed off by the Imperial Navy and even a few marines.

Thats better.

Genestealer Cults would be better than pure 'Nids for a movie.
