I... actually like the sound of 10mm WHF

Sooo, something that never happened?

People never said there was a decent chance of TOW being 10mm, it was just being discussed as something some people would like to have seen and a potential way to get around the huge number of SKUs required for WHFB.

But, if you wanted to draw parallels with what was being discussed in that thread, it'd be a bit like if when GW announced the return of square bases they showed an Epic40k square base

But anyway, I don't really think it's likely to be HH, but it's odd that GW used a HH symbol to announce it when they could have used a bunch of other iconography that is more in line with 40k, so hey, maybe.

I'm pretty sure HH/Firstborn got more releases than Primaris this year tho?

Formosa is talking a load of gak anyway. There have been more non-Primaris-related releases in terms of books, games, and art than Primaris foccused. In fact, Space Marine 2 seems to be the first game to properly feature them.

Yeah like all those First Born Joy To... oh wait...

I would generally say that the license agreement would refer to Age of Darkness rather than 40K as they would be two separate bits of IP that need to be licensed separately, so I think it's extremely unlikely to be HH based.

Have we seen the agreement?

When the official announcement of the agreement is literally titled „Amazon Studios Secures First-of-its-Kind Rights to Warhammer 40,000“ and in the text it says that Amazon „has secured global rights to Warhammer 40,000“, I‘d be willing to bet that this reflects words in the actual agreement. It might still include adjacent IP, but it’s pretty clear where the focus is.

And to counter I bring all of the non-Primaris books, games, and art pieces released since 2017. Primaris have taken the model (and toy) limelight but claiming that every single piece of GW media is Primaris focussed is nonsense.

The fact you have to extend that time line back 5 years to try and counter the amount of Primaris releases just further reinforces the argument against your assertion, Gert.

Uhhhh

That's literally when Primaris were introduced. He's actually being the fairest he can be by including the entirely of time they existed.

To be fair, there are the dreadnoughts, but even those were disappointing. Give me classic boxnought, dangit!

The classic Boxdread is awful and the Redemptor at least looks like it can walk.

I mean if you want I can just do this year but it'll take some time to catalogue every single release in terms of models, video games, promo material, novels and the such.

Yeah, 'cause Formosa was talking about everything GW has produced when he said what he said. He wasn't at all alluding to 40k productions that heavily push Marines in virtually all arenas. No, he meant AoS and Blood Bowl as well.

Even with 40k there are significantly more non-Primaris games, books and releases in general. As I said earlier, in terms of games only Space Marine 2 has featured Primaris and it isn't even out yet. For books that is going to take a long time to check and for film content (animations and the such) there has been minimal Primaris presence. In fact, the one major free animation is Firstborn Astartes.
If we're suddenly counting big cardboard cut-outs as the only things GW has made then yeah but then we're just being disingenuous aren't we?

IIRC, the game Battle Sector has Primaris marines (in fact, my recollection is that it's a plot point; the Primaris are newly-arrived to the chapter, and this is their chance to prove themselves to the vets).

So, two games.

Dark Tide, all depictions in statuary are Primaris.
Battle sector as you say.
Space marine 2
Rogue trader looks like the space wolf is primaris but I may be wrong.
Lost Crusade
Tacticus
May be some others but that is off the top of my head, Demonhunters I do not think counts since we do not have primaris grey knights... sadly.


Then we have the newer novels almost exclusively featuring Primaris on the cover art with obvious exception to legacy novels.

all combined is shows a concentrated marketing effort to homogenize the image of 40k as an IP and Brand, the new series will more than likely also be along these lines.

The Panini stickers/ trading cards/ whatever are all Primaris, right?

A mix, there's some termies in there, and I think a handful of others. The main thing about the stickers is that 90% of it is old art so there's a greater amount of Firstborne to pick from than primaris (but they're pretty close these days)

This is from 11 months ago but worth watching for this discussion…. Cavill talking about 40k in various different interviews. You can get hints on what he might like to bring to the show from what he says.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0Lrr2uS6t8

Cavill wants to be emperor. Vin Diesel could show up as Horus.

I thought vin Deisel's contracts didn't allow him to be seen to be defeated in any way

I tend to enjoy his films, but the scuttlebutt about his contract requirements is amusing.

but he might see this role as a win

To be fair a lot of hollywood actors have odd things in their contracts. Some of it also makes sense - there's more than a few actors who end up "type cast" into certain roles and thus many actors protect their "brand" of what kind of roles they do and don't play and what they will do within those roles.

It helps project their "image" as an actor.


It's the same reason some actors end up always typecast as good/bad characters. .




And Vin shouldn't be Horus - he needs to get on and make another Riddick film

Its the untold story of how the Necromonger Empire transitioned into the leadership of the XVI Legion, through warp tomfoolery

RIDDICK WAS HORUS ALL ALONG!

Now you're talking.

Why always the talk of Vin Diesel being in it?
Where is mention that he likes Warhammer?

I know he’s a big D&D player. But thought that was all.

Overread, also, he is working on the fourth Riddick film.
I always found it interesting he got the rights to that series (and then followed on to self fund it) all because of his appearance in Tokyo Drift.

Vin Diesel is apparently a Blood Angels player.

Oh interesting.

Just couldn’t find any source except places like forums saying he does.

Not like Robin Williams, Ansel Elgort or Cavill where it is actually documented and such.

If there's a movie and a series, the series could begin with the Cybernetic Revolt since AI is a hot topic. There'd be plenty of episodes starting there.

The movie could be anything 40k. Or maybe the other way around.

Current AEW ex WWE, ROH and TNA wrestler Samoa Joe wants in on the action:

I know there are a number of Warhammer fans amongst the wrestling community such as Joe and Shayna Baszler, she wore Night Lords themed gear this past weekend and has had a variety of loyalist/chaos chapters represented on her gear.
