Charlie Sheen. I don't know as who though. Which Primarch was doing all the drugs?

Vin Diesel - Ferrus Manus
Chris Hemmsworth - Sanguinius
Tom Hardy - Horus
Orlando Bloom - Fulgrim
The Rock - Angron
Will Smith - Vulkan
Johnny Depp - Lorgar
Tom Hiddelson - Curze
Russel Crowe - Dorn
Jackie Chan - Khan
Michael Fassbender - Magnus
Hugh Jackman - Russ
Jason Statham - Alpharius
Nick Cage- Peturabo
Richard Armitage - Corax
Daniel Craig - Guilliman
Viggo Mortensen - Lion

I agree with a lot of those....except Vulkan, Khan, and Lorgar. I think Peter Mensah would be better as Vulkan. He has a certain stoic regality that will smith lacks. In Spartacus, he was the immovable object in their chaotic world. For khan, I'd prefer Takeshi Kaneshiro. He has the jovial, yet clever way of holding court in Red Cliff that would make Khan a fearsome, yet likable warlord. For Lorgar, I have to go with Ralph Fiennes. He's got a way of being strong, yet unpredictably terrifying in a subtle, almost cerebral way.

I'd also probably say Karl Urban as Russ. Tom Hiddleston could also make a delightfully brusque Mortarion if you'd let Benedict cumberbach do Curze. Watching Benedict torture Peter Mensah would be both horrifying, yet almost....perfect.

This is by far the best I've seen.

Going by the pics in the best hair thread, I got a few ideas.

Rogal Dorn - Ian Mcelhinney (the guy who plays Barristan Selmy). I think he'd be perfect if he was slightly younger. Maybe use him in his older days after the heresy.

Ferrus Manus - Vin Diesel

Corax - Javier Bardem (with that No Country for Old Men haircut)

Haha agree completely. Was initially thinking for Malcador but big E, even better!

I agree with most of Warp Angels' list with a few alternates/suggestions. I am indecisive by nature so I have two choices for most of them. Let me know if I am crazy;

Ferrus- Dwayne Johnson
Sangiunius- Charlie Hunnam? (difficult choice)
Horus- Mark Strong
Fulgrim- Vincent Cassel( Ocean's 12, Black Swan) thought this was out of left field haha
Angron- Jason Statham
Vulkan- Idris Alba/Vin Diesel
Lorgar- Damian Lewis?
Curze- Michael Fassbender/Karl Urban
Dorn- Stephen Lang(Avatar)/Ron Perlman
Kahn- Ken Wantanabe/ Chow Yun Fat
Magnus- Robert Carlyle?

Alpaharius- Colin Ferrell?
Perturbo- Clive Owen?
Corax- Paul Bettany(Priest)/Sam Worthington/Eric Bana
Guilliman- Liam Neeson/Daniel Craig(definitely good choice)
Lion- Chris Helmsworth?
Mororian- Tom Hardy/ Jean Reno (The Professional)

I know this is a crazy list but, it's not over powered with Big stars. At least these guys could play part without being..."Brad Pitt with wings..."
But if a movie ever was made, Tom Cruise would sue/buy the studio so he could be the Emperor haha.

I second Ken Wantanabe as Khan.

Oh snap, Vincent Cassel as Fulgrim is brilliant

Erm... Morgan Freeman as the Emperor?

Yeah, he's one of only about 2 actors with that god-like level of stage presence (the other being Michael Caine), but I can't see him doing the epic combat stuff. I suppose you could do it like Vader and have 2 guys, one for acting and one for voice.

You mention Vader and fail to mention James Earl Jones? For shame!

Thulsa Doom rides again!

James Earl Jones could narrate the films, and Morgan Freeman could be Malcador!

No. If anyone narrates it's Morgan Freeman. That way he can keep explaining things to earn more freckles.

You get exalt ;

The Rock as Angron
Gilberd Gottfried as Lorgar (Lorgar preaching with that screaming voice, oh yes please.)
Jet Li as Kahn
Neil Patrick Harris as Sanguinius
Rob Schneider as everybody else + a stapler.

The Grumpy Eldar wrote:Jet Li as Kahn

No. Jet Li does not have the regal, Mongol warrior, Ghengis Khan feel required to pull it off.

Personally, I suggest the guy who trained Tom Cruise in the film "The Last Samurai." Don't know names or if he's still alive or what, but he'd be perfect for it.

Then he, in my opinion, is the only guy qualified to be the Khan.

As long as it has mark strong i'm fine! <3 I think him as horus or mortarion would be excellent

well a few comments...

Mark Strong as Horus: indeed... this guy would be awesome at it he does bad guys quite well. And how about James Purefoy as Abbadon?

Russ- Ray Winstone i think- the guy plays rough and ready very well, he has the temperament to play russ perfectly

Guilliman- this one is difficult as he become a major part of the story... Nesson i think would be good, but Daniel Craig might just ege him a bit.


Otherwise all the other actors are inspired choices- I'm glad to see many Brits being mentioned


for the Emperor? well again a difficult call But i think James Earl Jones as the voice would be epic.


otherwise- Ray Steveson and Kevin McKidd as a pair of Space Maries would be rather funny....

in short the list is endless as there are so many good actors to choose form

Guilliman - Russell Crowe

Khan - Jason Mamoa

Alpharius - Jason Statham

Dorn - Dolph Lundgren

Russ - Gerard Butler

Fulgrim - Brad Pitt

Nighthaunter - Hugh Jackman

Mortarion - Robert Knepper

Vulkan - Samuel L Jackson

Ferrus Manus - Randy Couture

Saguinius - Orlando Bloom

Corax - Hugo Weaving

Lion - Sean Bean

Perturabo - Bruce Willis

Lorgar - David Wenham

Angron - Dwayne Johnson

Magnus - Cillian Murphy

Horus - Kevin Durand

Don't know if dead actors count but Vincent Price as Konrad Curze or Erebus?

In the future...there is nothing...but British accents...

Oh and Orlando Bloom as Sangiunius..literally laughed out loud. Great choice

James Earl Jones as the Emperor, there's only one way that can end: 'Horus, I AM your father'

James Purefoy would be good as Lion, I reckon, but that could be because I've only seen him in stuff where he runs around with a massive sword. He's a great actor, though.

Adrian Lester could be good as Vulkan, I saw him in a play the other week and he got a great mix of compassionate nature and unleashed anger that would suit Vulkan well as I think there's some fluff about him reigning in the Salamander's rage but still being prone to it.

Here's some more (non-primarch) characters:

Hugo Weaving as Eldrad (I'm pretty sure he was around at the time of the HH)

John Hurt as Malcador.

And just for a laugh, some 40k ones as well:
Ciphas Cain- Rowan Atkinson
Jurgen- Tony Robinson (yes, Blackadder in SPAAAACE!)

Liam Neeson as Yarrik.

Benedict Cumberbatch as an Inquisitor.
