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.

And why the next movie must be an sequel to the first?

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

Except for when it comes to background and this project, Dan does decide. So, yeah. You're wrong there.

How's the Starpship Troopers game doing?
Oh...right.

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

They won't care about such a minor piece of continuity.

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.

He does not pay them - they pay him - so you are wrong.

the game was excellent. But after the first movie they just gave up making better sequels.

I think that even they have realized that, and that they will give this time a little more money into the movie. I hope they will do movies like BioWare do the "Old Republic"

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.

Fwoosh. Over your head goes the point.
The Starship Troopers miniature game? It bombed.
The Starship Troopers video game? Also bombed.

...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.
