I thought the ultramarines movie was o.k at best. I really loved being able to see SM's in action. The only thing is that it really didnt have much of a story. I want more. Preferably space marines or imperial guard w/ sm's. Has anyone heard of anyone coming out with some movies?! Is there something out there i am missing?
Must watch. The Grey Knight cutting a bloodletter in half towards the end was so badass. And seeing realistic Leman Russ tanks on the move is amazing. And let's not forget the Space Marine on top of the Land Raider.
I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.
'She sat on the corner, gulping the soup down, uncaring of the heat of it. They had grown more watery as of late she noted, but she wasn't about to beggar food from the Imperials or the "Bearers of the Word." Tau, despite their faults at least didn't have a kill policy for her race.'
...I think Monty Oum just got upstaged in terms of "best non professional CGI video maker."

i haven't heard of anything, but ultramarines was god awful.
they need to hire the animators that did the intros to Dawn of war 2 and dawn of war 2 ret. to do a feature length movie in 3D and i think lots of people would be glad to pay $14 to see it. my $.02.

I'll second that. The intro scene to DoW was bad ass. You know, this
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also....not 40K, but I think that a mini-series based on "Malus Darkblade" would be good too.

That would need atleast a trilogy like the LoTR Director's cut
or do a GoT style series
Currently debating whether to study for my exams or paint some Deathwing
Watch Event Horizon, it really fits as an unofficial distant prequel to the WH40K setting. Gives the most clear and graphically visceral portrayal of what the Warp would be like.
Also, watch Starship Troopers, but sub out the dialogue for Imperial cadences and chants, its basically Imperial Guard: The Movie.

People seem to think that talent comes cheap. The amount of money and time it would cost to hire Blur or Plastic Wax (makers of the Dawn of War and Dawn of War II intros) is absolutely obscene. You would need hundreds of millions of dollars to make that happen, and GW doesn't really like spending money as we all know.

Exactly, they could have probably made that Ultramarines movie at least twice for the same price as one of those intros alone. I don't even think they funded that movie in any way anyway. Just sort of gave it a thumbs up, then waited to collect cash.
I want to see one on the horus heresy, maybe in 3 - 6 parts. Like star wars. Live action with power armor, remembrancers, iterators and the millions listening, primarches, and the god emperor. this would rake GW in billions of dollars.

"your gonna need hundreds of millions of dollors to do it"
This simply is not true at all, here is a list of ways to do it on a budget.
Paranormal activity: Do it in a live cam way, have a Inquisitor looking to hunt down a Deamon, very few if any Visual effects would be needed.
Band of Brothers: but not so high a budget, but filmed in the same grainy manner, follows a group of guardsman fighting cultists, this would be a good way to intrduce the 40k universe.
Now anything with Nids (except genestealers) or SM would need the big budget to pull off properly.
Now i for one DO NOT WANT a big budget 40k movie, i want a Babylon 5 style of tv series, where eac episode ties into the next and follows a strong narative.

That would be epic
Paranormal Activity? Really? That's a terrible, terrible example. There's no crossover there whatsoever.
Band of Brothers cost over twelve million dollars an episode, I would hardly call that low budget. While you're right that full alien races like Nids or Orks would drive up the cost significantly, Marines aren't necessarily that expensive. It's just a few big costumes that can be made to look bigger through camerawork.
Ive always said that Storm of Iron would translate fantastically to film. It has all the elements...guardsmen, chaos, marines, seige warfare, mechanicum, titans...without being bogged down by the baggage of needing to understand the 40k universe.
I would love to see the Heresey in film, but I think that it is just too 40k to be successful in the mainstream.
As well, low budget 40k is a terrible idea. 40k is nothing if not visually striking and grandiose.
The battle of Macragge would also work. No need to fiddle with the censors because as everyone knows, it's okay to gratuitously and messily slaughter aliens but doing the same to pants on head insane humans will always get them riled up.

Yeah...just imagine Guardsman vs Cultists directed by Stanley Kubrik and Clive Barker.

But if they make a flyswatter joke in a battle for macragge movie...I'd...I'd...
