So we're going to play a little game. Imagine you are making a Warhammer Movie. Fully licensed and all that.
The plot is Empire versus Chaos.
Characters that MUST be in the movie:
Archaon
Vardek Crom
Karl Franz
Ludwig Schwarzhelm
Kurt Helborg

So, who would you cast as those characters? Clearly Archaon would likely be CG for most of it, but who you cast would be in his little origin story bit.

In the mean time, I'm off to IMDB to look up my own choices.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Karl Franz: Liam Neeson

Kurt Helborg: Brendan Gleeson

Ludwig Schwarzhelm: Kevin McKidd(not sure he could pull off the beard though)

Or Rory McCann

Archaon: Jason Momoa

Vardek Crom: Marton Csokas

**uriell4ever**

Archaon: The one and only!

**rockerbikie**

Archaon:

**baxter123**

Archaon: Jon Seda or James Badge Dale

Vardek Crom: Sylvester Stallone

Karl Franz: Tom Hanks or Harrison Ford

Ludwig Schwarzhelm: Johnny Depp or Dolph Lundgren

Kurt Helborg: Joseph Mazello or Jason Statham

**Trondheim**

Archaon : Sean Bean

Vardek Crom : Mads Mikkelsen

Karl Franz : Kevin McKidd

Ludwig Schwarzhelm : Karl Urban

Kurt Helborg : Vigo Mortensen

I'd see that movie, although I have a hard time seeing Karl Urban as an unsmiling hand of swift justice. Kevin McKidd would make a good Franz though.

Cameo by Larry King as Settra the Imperishable

shortest time in makeup ever. Just take off the glasses, pop in some contacts and BAM!

**Kroothawk**

Imperial Captain who dies heroically in the first battle: Sean Bean

**Grey Templar**

Archaon would best be voiced by James Earl Jones.

I think Morgan Freemen would make a cool Settra. Pretty hilarious actually

Danny Devito as some random Empire Noble

**Aerethan**

I think James Earl Jones would be too similar to Darth Vader if he did the voice over for an older/armored Archaon.

I could see the Morgan Freeman Settra though.

**Tiarna Fuilteach**

Liam Neeson as Karl Franz would be awesome, he gets all the savage rolls Michael Collins, Zeus, Qui-Gon Jinn and even Aslan

**thenoobbomb**

I know nothing about actors, but for Archeon, it should be, ofcourse...
CHUCK NORRIS! :p

**Acardia**

Thanquol shall be played by a long haired Steve Nash, he's looked like a wet rat for years.

**angelshade00**

Sorry but I believe Grimgor Ironhide should be in the movie as well. Let me see you cast HIM!

**Grey Templar**

Mike Tyson

Fair enough, we could do a Storm of Chaos movie, and include Ironhide and Valten.

Grimgor would of course have to be CGI, but I can't think of anyone off the top of my head to voice him. Ideas?

And who would play Valten? I'll have to think on that one.

**Gromgor**

John Rhys-Davies, if they gravelled up his voice and gave him a slight Cogney tilt to his voice could be good.

Vladimir Kulich (Buliwyf from the 13th warrior) would make a perfect Valten

**happygolucky**

Where's the love for vampires :( ...

Heinrich Kemmler: Christopher lee (of course)

Isabella Von Carstien: Kate Beckinsale

Vlad Von Carstien: Richard Roxburgh

Konrad Von Carstien: Jonny depp (dont ask me why i just think that way)...

Mannfred Von Carstien: This one I wouldn't know... maybe Robert Downey Jr?

Krell: I have a strange Image of Sean Connery as the legendary Wright King I really Dont know why but There we go...

**Mr Morden**

Hmm

the divine Kate Beckinsale as Isabella - yeah I would go for that in a heartbeat

love to see Drachenfels the movie staring:

Amanda Seyfried as Genevieve Dieudonne
Drachenfels - Ian Mckellon or Christopher Lee
Erzbet - Kate Beckinsale or Gina Bellman

Need some help with Detlef and Oswald, not good with male actors

**thefarseerofnorthryde**

John Hurt as Karl Franz
