Which films do you know of that feel or have the style of 40k. Perhaps there's a movie that reminds you of a heroic squad of imperial guard. Or the movie Alien, it could be a gene stealer aboard a civilian ship.

The films I would say are like 40k are:

Mutant chronicles: The film has the look of a 40k movie, stars pretty much chaos and imperial guard especially death corps and has a focus on a militarist/religious world. Although its pretty low budget its enjoyable enough



Event horizon: come on the whole movie is basically a film about a ship going through the warp and emerging possessed by chaos, also Sam Neil becomes a demon host lol I recommend it because its not even a stretch to view it as a 40k movie.

Alien!!!

IG and Tyranids yo

Hrmm.
Dredd maybe? Clusterfucked Hive City struggling to maintain control of itself. Doesn't have to be about the various enemies of mankind, more its inner workings.

Starship troopers

There are a few threads on this already.

There's a really good list.

My favorite: Hunter/Prey

The movie "Priest" seems like it could exist in 40k. Giant, super polluted, cities surrounded by wasteland. Even has an extremely religious culture.

Why is that xenos wearing Cadian Flak Armor?

Event Horizon's probably the most obvious, it's a perfect account of how humanity first discovered the warp (and got possessed by Slaanesh apparently). Too bad it becomes extremely silly in the last act, but I suppose that fits in with most Black Library Fluff anyway.

+1 for Starship Troopers

He's an angry Tau because the cadre ran out of real 4+ armor save armor, and he had to "liberate" a set of 5+ save armor from a human auxiliary.

Silly, Tau are blue.

But yes, he does look angry enough for that to be the case. Maybe Tau pale with anger?

He is blue. You're just seeing a pic of him in direct sunlight... in a desert.

There is also a human and an Ork in the movie.



WAAAAGH!!!!!
