Your dream 40k movie

Yeah I gotta agree with this user here. I would certainly like to see some sweet Eldar-human /ss/ as long as it has the proper amounts of cuddling and hand-holding.

Please stay on-topic.

The Ravenor series might work.

Eisenhorn would make a way way way way better movie series

Fuck off.

>An inquisitor and HER retinue.
Is there anything evidence to support a higher percentage of female inquisitors?
Or are you just going on DoW2 and fanfic?

>fuck off from the thread if you are not interested in what this thread is actually about

He didn't say they were a higher percentage.

Kinda OP's fault for posting a more interesting picture than the thread.

The HH novels turned into a series of movies, perhaps skipping those that doesn't contribute much to the main story.

>people being triggered by a female character
I went with the female Inquisitor because I thought there could be an interesting quasi-romantic relationship between her and the Hive Boy. She would be like a cool big sister. Also, why not?

he didn't say higher percentage anywhere

female inquisitors definitely exist.

But this is an estabilished story, meaning that one will either have to adhere to the plot thoroughly - making the story too chaotic to follow due to time constraints - or change it, drawing the ire of angry fan boys.

Just seems unlikely. I'm not anti a female protagonist, or even a female inquisitor. But usually female military or authortive figures tend to be of a similar career driven mindset and it just sounded like romantic shipping to me which doesn't fit the characters role. Especially in the 41st millennia where every day in the imperium you fight.

There's plenty of female inquisitors in 40k though.

Actually, you could do a pretty serious anime - a la Psycho-Pass - about an Inquisitor and his warband in a hive city. Strictly Ravenor/Eisenhorn-tier stuff.

And that is what she will do, yes. Be harsh and ruthless.

As I said, I would imagine her having some compassion towards the boy: however it would be him that interprets her connection to him as romantic.

Says who?

^ Behold how a single pronoun makes fa/tg/uys slaughter each other. Truly women's rights were invented by Khorne.

Lilith Abfequarn
Adrastia
Amberly Vail
Helynna Valeria

Plenty more out there.

>(Also, feminists collectively wet their panties)

Is that what happens when they complain about the Fighting Fucktoy's Internalized Muh Soggy Knees and Emprah worship?

Feminists, not Tumblrinas.

Has anyone seen Antz? Basically that. Based in the capital Hive of a Hive World. Two main characters, one in the Guard/PDF and one working in the mines. Both are disgruntled and decide to switch places which makes the movie a bit of a comedy at first, especially as the mine worker tries to learn how to fire a lasgun.

General of the Guard/PDF is actually getting rid of the loyalist portion of the army, planning to take over the planet and succeed from the Imperium. Sends the loyalists off to attack the main Ork base. It's a massive charge right into the centre of the base, but the Orks were tipped off and are super-sneaky, ambushing the enemy in return and crushing them in a harrowing movie sequence. MC is the sole survivor.

Rest of the movie is the MC and his counterpart still in the mines trying to expose the General. They find out (too late) that the General is going to secretly allow the Orks into the Hive. General uses this as an excuse to wipe out the last of the non-Army dissenters with a giant bomb, but he's killed (thrown to the Orks) at the last moment by his second-in-command. Hive is successfully evacuated and the survivors (including the Governor's successor) resolve to mount a stronger defence at another Hive.

I don't know. Could be fun.

I always loved that detail. The imperial, bretonnian or dwarven societies would never allow a woman to command. But chaos ? The dark gods don't give a shit about gender, racial origins and such. As long as you are strong in flesh and mind, you are worthy of their attention.

Ah, yes those quite a few cities on Earth that reach up into the upper atmosphere. Yep, so common.

Details. What you are talking about is decorations.

The society however is nowhere near as different as that of less advanced worlds or cultures. For Space Marines, for example, you will have to be immersed in a whole different culture that will take time to get acquainted to. Make a movie about them and the characters won't be approachable.

40k should be an anime
>Now someone will post a pic of a riptide and say it already is
But really I'm not a huge anime fan but I feel that japanese directors would capture the feel of the 40k world better than most hollywood rats. I mean most western film creators are stuck in this mindset of "the hero always has to win at the end" but that's not 40k. It would be more like, "the hero wins before being callously carted to the next interplanetary conflict where he died from a stray bullet and was buried in an unmarked grave"

Also a longer series would allow for more lore to be introduced than a single film or even a trilogy of films.

I think an anime about a group of heretics could be pretty cool, kind of like a game of Black Crusade.
That, or a Rogue Trader one.

>Genestealer cult
>the villains

Report to your local Magus immediately.

>still worshiping a corpse

it's like you're not even into hard work and having lots of children, while being part of a wholesome community.

Wait...

Did you say...?!

You could probably check the Veeky Forums smut archives on 1d4chan or pop over to /efg/ on /d/ to ask them directly.

Cause who doesn't want some lucky mon'keigh boy to be balls deep in wild cougar eldar banshee/farseer ass and mouth, painting and pumping them bodies with his first orgasm's seed before being held lovingly during the afterglow with his two cum soaked foreign big sisters.

Movies always fucking suck, movies suck.

40k would work better with miniseries format desu.

Don't Bretonnians literally allow women to command? A prophetess or damsel can be the general after all.
I don't remember how dwarven women work in WHFB

Well, I think they are only allowed to practice magic. Even if they can occasionally handle things, they have no official power. Kinda like medieval France/England, cuz that's basically what Bretonnia is.

Likewise, you can have a sorcerer lord as a general for your empire army and they are no warchiefs.

>I don't remember how dwarven women work in WHFB
I did some research and apparently I was in hard bullshit mode : dwarven women are spoiled brats, receive the same military formation as males, live longer, and are generally the keepers of knowledge. Plus they are allowed to be polygamous.
They are still hardly allowed to leave the karaks, though, but given that they are fare more rare than the males and their race is shrinking in number, it's understandable.

>Plus they are allowed to be polygamous
I will dig that up and throw it in anyones face getting too dorfaboo.

Something about the Battle of Cadia

floating chair guy: compelling main character

I think it's because the male to female ratio is something really bad like 5:1, and so the women have to be polygamous or else there wouldn't be enough dorfs.

>inb4 rape factories are suggested

>and so the women have to be polygamous or else there wouldn't be enough dorfs
This would only make sense if it's the male dwarfs getting pregnant.

Actually, that mostly happens in clans where the mortality rate is quite high, like warriors and diggers. It prevents the widow to do without husband for too long.

Can female dwarfs get pregnant by multiple males at the same time? Otherwise this is complete nonsense.

>a group of heretics could be pretty cool, kind of like a game of Black Crusade

>300+ episode series about the Horus Heresy

Get out of here drunk SoB

Not rape factories, polyandry. A woman will have several husbands, probably brothers to keep the family estate undivided.

It helps with inheritance.

>details
Still a hell of a lot different to anything today. Kowloon was the closest thing IRL had to a Hive City but even that didn't have nearly as many people living in it.

>AGP made into an anime
>Sarge becomes a Tau weeb character
>The Nightmare becomes reality

In comparison to a feudal world, its people's psychology is much closer to ours. More importantly, it is a dark echo of *our* world.

Is there even a difference anymore?
archive.is/xguGC

Not even. We don't even come close to the soul crushing depression of a Hive World. Closest you have is Blade Runner, but even Blade Runner was optimistic in comparison.

user, you're looking for Civilized Worlds not Hive Worlds.

>15 Hours
Animated again because capturing the style of 40K in Live Action would be very hard and I don't think it would ever look quite right. It's a great 40K introduction and you can have the neat little counter making it's way up or down after planet-fall.

Honestly, I feel like the best possible 40k movie would be a movie adaptation of Shoggy's "AGP", or at least something styled very close to it.

For one, AGP handles the setting lore problem very well. One of the worst things you can have happen in a movie adaptation, is have a viewer get lost because they didn't do their homework and read up on the material. This is why most adaptations change/deviate from established lore deemed too complicated/superfluous to enjoying the movie, much to the ire of old fans. However AGP is an isolated, independent story, that doesn't involve big name people or events from the universe, and instead makes what they can from the information at hand. By doing so, they are able to give basic descriptions of factions and areas without going into the "history lesson" discussions about "who's who" and "where's what". The AGP stories can be enjoyed with a very basic level of knowledge on 40k lore, which
A) makes it more appealing, enjoyable, and less frightening to the non-Grognards and Fa/tg/uys, who are a majority of the movie going audience
B) allows more creativity with the writing, as the lore stories are usually told like history events
And C) Allows for certain factions to lose encounters dramatically without pissing off fans because it would be a self-contained story with no larger implications on the universe itself.

The AGP also tones down the Grim-Derpness down enough for moviegoers to actually get invested in the story and what happens to people. That and the fact that the AGP typically have enough hectic, explosion-filled, action scenes in their adventures to make Michael Bay cream his pants.

Everything about this sounds decent, except the random street waif. Fuck that. Just make a movie bout an inquisitor and her retinue investigatin a genestealer cult that ends in a massive uprising climactic battle scene. The hive boy is pointless. Waste of screen time. Streamline. Also
>le admech is retarded meme.

Fuck off, ain't nothing wrong with my admech. They ain't daft. If you can accept a universe that has demons and men that shoot lighting with their minds you can get over yourself and accept techno mysticism.

A civilised world does not encapsulate the same atmosphere of grimdarkness.
*Closer*. It is an *exaggeration*, a dark mirror of our world, rather than a different world altogether.

There should be some guy who is ignorant about the greater world to introduce newcomers. Maybe not a waif, maybe an acolyte.

Fair point. New acolyte works.

>does not encapsulate the same atmosphere of grimdarkness
Literally the description says
>By the Imperial planetological classification guidelines, a Civilised World is one that has a population from 15,000,000 all the way up to 10,000,000,000 people and pays moderately high Imperial tithes. It may have large, sprawling urban areas but none have yet reached the level of population density or self-sufficiency to be considered a true hive city.

A civilized world can be damn near anything.
>Not enough Grimdark
Sounds like a lack of imagination on your part.

Wouldn't matter which format, it would still be 300+ episodes if the books any indicator.

The film needs to be from the perspective of someone that can be seen as 'new' to the universe. Be it an ignorant teen, or a schola a year away from joining the Guard. They don't know about the greater Imperium beyond what is beyond their city, which could just be a facsimile of a city today.

Here's how I think it could introduce the character, and through them the audience, to the 40kverse

>Should start with a random nobody; a youth (be it gang member or schola adpet) who was raised by their father.

>He's a special kind of Guardsmen. The kind of guardsmen that live long enough to retire. Taught youth all about how to fight in the backdrop a developing colony. Things will look like a typical city of today, albeit a lot more skulls, air cars, purity seals, and spikes on the lamp posts.

>Youth's older brother joined the Guard a year ago. The Founding day this year takes the youth back to that day watching their sibling march in perfect unison towards the port to be shipped off to fight in a 'very important' battle.

>Suddenly war breaks out, unknown attack disrupts the parade, youth is tossed back by explosion.

>Seen from perspective of the youth. Explosions everywhere, energy weapons, PDF running about as civilians flee. Not clear who is fighting who, youth is shellshocked.

>Father finds youth, drags him to safety. Tells youth to stay in cover. Father hands the youth a battered lasgun, tells them to shoot anything that comes through the door that isn't him.

>Father leaves to help PDF. Never comes back

>Youth keeps lasgun aimed at the door. A huge hulking monstrosity suddenly blocks all light coming in. Glowing red eyes, it comes towards the youth.

>In a panic, they fire full auto.

>For something so big, it dodges the shots with amazing speed. Figure comes closer.

>'Inquisitor, I have located a survivor'

> Behind the hulking figure is something more lithe figure.

>Good work Brother Captain.

Title drop

Not bad. Not bad at all.

>Boy gets processed to scrape him for repressed info on the attack
>Found to be a psyker and sent to the Black Ships
>See all the psychical and metal he goes though
>Is picked up by the Inquisitor after sanctioning because he didn't pop like a warp cracker the 1st time round

Play the intro theme and credits over the journey to Terra and sanctioning? Score is a mix of choral music, metal and rock. As a psyker he does divination primarily letting us have some bitching shots the two or three time he dares tap into the warp.

Shit or not?

If we make him a psycher, and this is a movie, he's gonna do a hell of a lot more than just be a divination bot. Sure in game its good, but for the purpose of a movie is too boring. He will do some divination sure, but he'll need to shoot flames or lightning or something for it to fit a modern action flick.

later on, after lots of Inquisitorial-montage clips of BLAMming heretics, he encounters a friendly Eldar female who proceeds to aid the young handsome Inquisitor...
the good looking Inquisitor is confused, as he knows he should be careful around Xenos, but he feels like is developing feelings towards this particular loveable Eldar specimen.

but things get complicated, when Chaos invades the world where they were investigating a Slaaneshi cult...

Fuck off with that shit.

I don't know I kind of feel like the 1st time we show offence powers, if at all, they should backfire horribly. Throwing around hell-stuff is a terrible idea and the film should show or tell us this.

what you mean?

interracial sells well in Hollywood these days

it makes the movie look more progressive and since you include forbidden love and cute Eldars, Veeky Forums should approve of such heresies

>SoB

Eldar are too white to be regarded interracial. They look too close to humans, which could confuse the audience. Either make it Imperium vs Chaos/Tyranids or the viewer not accustomed to the setting will have problems understanding it.
>forbidden love
>cute
Here you fucked up. I don't really want that this thread to argue about that topic again, but the idea of putting moe-eldar in this movie disgusts me.
>frogposter
Fuck, I got baited, right?

maybe the Inquisitor should be a strong black man?
then the Eldar qt can be white?

also something wrong with frogs?

>interracial sells well in Hollywood these days
This is what stormfags actually believe.

I'm not a stormfag, but I have come to notice certain trends

Anything where Kasrkins get screen time.

I imagine the men may often be away from home for rather long periods of time. Deep down in the mines or in some far away battle. More husbands ensures there is always one available to try and produce kids. It also ensures that there is always support for the family should a husband die. It also reduces the social stigma of wedding a widow with kids, granted there is little visible benefit of that stigma reduction thanks to the fact she has more husbands already.

Also dwarves are pretty big on legacy and tradition. This means that the husbands can attempt taking turns producing heirs and/or just be a combined clan thing where the resulting children belong to the clan and not one specific father.

Of course I am not that savvy on the dwarf culture in whf so these are mostly just examples of ways that sort of system can work.

Shitty connection, taking forever to update. Anyway

>Youth shoved to Inquisition ship. Runs into Inquisitor's retinue.

>Brother Captain, Deathwatch requisitioned from Chapter

>Chubby astropath that sleeps under the cockpit until needed. Requisitioned from a local choir. Youth disturbed when Inquisitor starts shouting into astropath's mouth to get a message 12 systems away, and stranger still a voice comes back in response.

>Navigator. He never leaves his room.

>A surly kid half their age that is a 'blank' the Inquisitor explains. Whatever that means. Comes from Cardinal world. Not sure what that means. Astropath explains they are uptight about emperor worship. How uptight?

>Blank's name is one of those really long, over the top Puritain names. Like "Ichabod 'Crush-the-Heretics-and-Shatter-Their-Temples' Shumacher" or something.

>Girl adept (love interest of youth because all films need love interests. It's the rules)

>Woman arbites and guardsmen provide muscle. Also guardsmen is youth's older brother (PLOT TWIST)

>Inquisitor wants details of attack from youth.

>After explaining what happens, brother steps in. "What happened to dad?"

>Silence. Brother goes up to youth, shakes them. "WHAT. HAPPENED. TO. DAD?!"

>"Put him down, he's still quite shaken." Inquisitor dismisses. Based on youth's story, she can narrow down possible attackers from several thousand to a couple hundred, but most likely source comes from sub-sector . Plot a course Navigator.

How do these compare to Gaunt's Ghosts?

>smug "loli" Navigator

Is that a thing?

Deathwatch shenanigans would translate well to the screen I imagine.

Not smug, but a loli nonetheless

damn thats edgy

That or a Kasrkin squad like
suggested.

Yes is a thing, sorta, I think she was in her mid or late teens. Was definitely a waifish type.

Cain is a lot more lighthearted then guant. His books very rarely if ever have someone you spent a long time growing attached to die. Typically the men who die around Cain all get introduced that book, often even only introduced when they join Cain for the specific venture that gets them killed.

Unlike guant Cain doesn't dwell much on who died, he dwells more on 'shit that dude just died, I got to get out of here and save my own skin.' And thus serendipitously he makes substantial progress to fixing the situation in his haste to save his skin, while doing so in a way that people think he is being dashing and not cowardly.

Far less serious in tone, very meta and tongue in cheek. They´re basically a parody of the 40k Universe without being outright ridiculous,
Smug loli Navigator is a minor character that appears during a conference in one book. Cain basically comments on how she kind of overdid it with the Juvenat treatments and how her ginourmous cleavage and youthful look would be far easier to enjoy, if she would shut her mouth for a change
Read them, seriously
