Take another female sidekick, then, but don't "corrupt" the hardcore style and history of the SoB.

imho, the Chapter that would work best alongside Sisters is probably the Black Templars, considering they have a certain similarity in terms of traditions and attitude towards psykers.

How about the story of a fallen angel and his quest with a little girl as he avoid the dark angels?

Space Wolves... I like most of their units, but meh... I'd like to see an IG movie, specially if it's about Straken and his Catachan

Why would he have a little girl?

Becasue it will make a Space Marine more Human, example:

the animatrix-style is still a good idea, though.

GW guy: "Tens of thousands of Orks."

As per the Dorn-formula, I guess this means that 1 Guardsman must be worth thousands of Orks. Cool.

uhhh, no. That would mean every Guardsman would be worth 100 orks, not 1000.

A romantic comedy about a Necron Lord looking for love who finds it in a Gretchin would be more interesting a watch than a movie about the Space Wolves.

...?

Clearly Necrons only love tau.

The Dorn formula is 1 Marine = 10 Guardsmen, so if 1 Marine = 10.000 Orcs then 1 Guardsmen = 1.000 Orcs

And o_O @ dat poster

You make a valid point.

It depends on the source you are looking at.

The Horus Heresy series say a MArine is equal to 100 human warriors, basically guardsmen.

But more recent codices say they are equal to a dozen guardsmen.

It's all hyperbole anyway.

I wouldn't mind a film about an Inquisitor Lord's goal to bring the judgement of the Emperor to a corrupt ruler of a hive city full of Chaos Renegade Guardsmen, told through the eyes of one of the Lord's henchmen. You know, maybe a young accolyte, to bring a more human take on this mighty Lord, hammering at the gates of hell to accomplish his goal, never wavering in his quest. Blah blah blah story testing just how far this guy is willing to go in the name of the Emperor. He brings armies to make the way for him and in the midst of battle he and his henchmen become seperated from his forces, blah blah blah some henchmen die, the sky is soaked with blood and clouds of death block out the sun, epic s*** like that. Gets to the palace, crushes resistance, then bursts in to realize the ruler is now a mutated follower of Chaos, who summons forth a Greater Daemon or something to create an epic climactic fight, Inquisitor wins, they leave, saturation-nuke the whole planet from orbit just to make sure everything is good and dead, the end.

And since novels are non-canon ...

The exact quote from Rogal Dorn was as follows, by the way:
"Give me a hundred Space Marines. Or failing that give me a thousand other troops."

That's not even recent, I think. I've seen that quote years ago. It's just some novel authors making stuff up again. Heck, read Aaron Dembski-Bowden's blog, he even has an entry titled "loose canon" dedicated to the topic.

Lynata wrote:And since novels are non-canon ...

Depends on which novel you are reading.

The first Ultramarines novel for instance is almost undeniably canon.

But I digress.

The events are always canon, they details are not.

I would love to see the following as movies:

Sanctuary 101

The assault on the Sin of Damnation

Vect's rise to power in Commorragh, as a 12 part miniseries..

Hum? Did one of the GW guys state this?

im2randomghgh wrote:The events are always canon, they details are not.

That's not quite how Gav Thorpe and George Mann explained it.

Lynata wrote:Hum? Did one of the GW guys state this?

Explicitly? No.

But the Necron codex not only referenced it, it directed quoted a passage from the book, and the writer of the book, Graham McNeil, was one of the writers of the Necron codex.

Oh, yeah - that's in line with the given statements then.

GW occasionally adopts things they like from licensed material. Gav mentioned the Last Chancers characters as an example - at the same time he commented that there is "no pressure to feel that it has to be accepted into the worldview promulgated by the codexes and army books" on other stuff. George Mann went further into detail by explaining that each BL novel is basically the respective author's own interpretation and an "alternative version" of the setting, explaining why some books contradict each other. Generally, no BL novel can ever establish canon simply because no BL author is expected to respect things established in another's books (also see Aaron Dembski-Bowden's blog on this). Only what is printed in GW studio material should be adhered to.

Or, to quote Andy Hoare on the subject of novel canonicity:

"It all stems from the assumption that there’s a binding contract between author and reader to adhere to some nonexistent subjective construct or ‘true’ representation of the setting. There is no such contract, and no such objective truth."

A good example for GW adopting something and discarding another would also be Inquisitor Eisenhorn which became his own miniature for the Inquisitor RPG, despite Dan Abnett grossly violating GW's established rule concerning the height of Space Marines - so just because something of a novel became canon doesn't mean the entire book is. Generally, the only way to be safe is by limiting your perception to what is printed by GW. Personally I am adopting some novel ideas into my perception of the game world myself, but I am well aware that these are non-canon ideas that may well be contradicted by GW any day, and that I can not expect anyone else to respect them.

But I guess this debate would be better placed in the "what should be considered canon" thread.

I think that a space wolf move would be good because their not bland and boaring like ultra marines

I really enjoyed the Ultramarines movie, and it would be nice to see more movies, especially with Dan Abnett

I think BA or even BT movie would be epic

That's Bromance, but Necrons reserve all of their romantic interests for Tau. That's how lollicron was made.

If that is the case, how do you explain this??

Actually even though I'd love a Blood Angels movie and its gritty melee combat and none stop action, it should be a movie based on Storm Of Iron by Graham Mcneill, seriously it like changed my view of the chaos and it was an epic book
