Because legal shit, Warhammer 40k has a show on 4kids

I'd watch IG Joe.

Also, anyone who picks up a bladed weapon can only use it to destroy machines and non-living things. Blunt weapons are the only thing effective, and are mostly used to disarm the opponent!

Remove all references to daemons and replace it with creatures from 'a different dimension'.

>Crashing through the sky, comes a fearful cry, CHAOOOOS, CHAOOOOOS!
>IG JOE! A REAL EMPEROR'S HERO, IG JOE IS THERE!"
>"Black Legion! Retreat, retreat!"

Nobody actually dies. Battles are fought by trying to push the enemy back into a full rout.

Yep, the people who dropped the last, and best, seasons of GX and 5Ds because they got squeamish.

>4kids
>still around
Jokes about 4kids were stale in 2010.

Would they localize the names too?

I imagine they would for some characters if it sounds too gruesome.

So, about 70% of all Ork names would be changed. Fucking dropped.

To be fair it can still be violent as long as it's kid friendly violence.
>Big Mek Mcwhackatron
>Borgutz Bigsmashy
and other delightfully stupid names if you think creatively.

Scientifically speaking, the daemons of 40k are not demons, but actually creatures from a different dimension.

Necrons would suddenly become the major villains, cause machines that rebuild themselves = no blood or death, flayed ones are never mentioned again

this.
Grimdark while being LOLWACKY

They wouldn't show the more carnagey bits of it, sticking to an unlikely crack-squad of main characters that dispatched mostly Necrons and Tyranids. Cast is probably a guardsman, tau, eldar, and ork contrived to work together and learn lessons about how friendship can overcome the grim darkness of space

Sargent Joe wacks the Ork Kaptain with hispower fist at the end of every freebootah-centric episode with enough force to punt him into orbit and back into his Cruiser. Team-Rocket Style.

Alternatively we could use the Clone Wars' definition of Kid Friendly. Or hell, The Clone Wars' definition of kid friendly!
So Sayith the Jedi:
>Bring up the Flamethrowers!
I thought this show was for preteens!

At the end of each episode, a few battle brothers teach us about bullying or recycling or fire safety

The clone wars was pushed to a later time slot because of the shit they pulled. The only reason CN didn't drop them is because of how good the shows ratigs were.

On 4kids it would be impossible. On CN it would be more plausible. No actuall blood shown but people die. Have it be centered around the guard fighting chaos guard and or necrons. Lasers can't make people bleed and Necron gauss weapons just disintegrate. I guess eldar and MAYBE tau but that's pushing it.

Amazed nobody posted this yet.

A better question would be if it was on adult swim

They'd probably change the name anyway, just in case. "Warplings" or something fruity like that. And they could go up in smoke when defeated, like when Blade kills vampires in a Spider-Man cartoon.

step one: have Necrons be the main antagonist of the show. Violence towards robots is totally fine.

Step Two: Protagonists are space marines. this makes them unlikely to die in droves.

Step three: any times someone would die they are instead injured to the point they must 'retire from active duty'. If the injured character is a guardsmen they are chosen to settle the recently recaptured world. If the injured character is a space marine or other character that wouldn't have a retirement option they are sent to train neophytes or help with strategic planing, whatever is the most appropriate for the character.

And they would need to have some sort of comic relief. I'm thinking that the Space Marine Squad would have a Jokaero sidekick. And I think they can fight anyone except Eldar because they are too human. But the Space Marines can't actually use bolt weapons on anything that doesn't have extremely heavy armor (like chaos space marines).

Step Four: Find a way to create dramatic tension despite the characters being victorious on the regular. my thought is have the teams long range comms get cut off. Possibly with a communications jammer or the main SM force having to withdraw to avoid being over run and thus being out of vox range.

Step Five: How do we have a recurring villain that keeps showing up with out the audience wondering why he hasn't gotten a bolter shell between the eyes.

the sidekick is an excellent idea. I figured Necrons because they can use the full range of weapons against them without having to censor blood or worry about getting a pile of bodies past eh censors.

I figure Tyranids would work as well because they are just insects and no one will get upset about killing bugs. And I think that recurring villain could be Imotek. And should the Space Marines just be a regular tactical squad or what?

On a similar note, why isn't the porn parody of Warhammer called Whore Whammer?

>Recurring villain
Necron Lord would be easiest. They've got all sorts of weird techno-fuckery, teleportation and phasing technology and good old-fashioned "able to beat the protagonists single-handedly."

Chaos Lord that rarely allows themselves to be caught in a direct confrontation could work, too. They're basically saturday morning cartoon villains already.

...from the demon dimension

>Chaos Lord that you never see who's always watching and sending his henchmen

No? It's more like a Psychosphere or something.

Never ever show the consequences of violence in any way.

People can be shot with lascannons and wail on eachother with chainswords constantly, but so long as you don't depict anyone as having been seriously hurt it will make it past network censors.

Because apparently the message of "violence has no lasting consequences" is the message to send young people.

Psycho Warp? Home of the Warp Psychos?

SPACE MARINES! TODAY, AN ENEMY WAS AT OUR DOOR

BUT WE DID NOT TALK TO STRANGERS, AND IT WAS THEY WHO KNEW DEATH, AND DEFEAT!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: WHEN YOUR PARENTS AREN'T HOME, YOUR HOUSE SHOULD BE A FORTRESS WITH ITS GATES BARRED AND GUARDED.

>Because apparently the message of "violence has no lasting consequences" is the message to send young people.

So basically 40k chaos lords?

GOTTA GET BACK.
BACK TO THE PAST.

>And should the Space Marines just be a regular tactical squad or what?
Make them a rag tag group that ended up together due to various shenanigans.
Something like
>Calm and professional Ultra Captain
>Hot blooded Space Wolf Sidekick
>Snarky Dark Angel
>Salamander Moral Compass
>Cheeky Blood Raven rascal, coupled with the Jakaero for various shenanigans

You could get the usual episodes of
>Space Wolf learning the lesson of friendship and teamwork
>the Captain is away so the Dark Angel has to step up and lead them, learning to come out of his shell in the process
>the Salamander fucks things up by trying to do the right thing, but circumstances make everything work out anyway
>One off episode where the Blood Raven and Jokaero steal everything not nailed down, despite the efforts of humorously incompetent guards

So… Warhammer 40kids: doomwatch.

Make the main characters orks, then you can frame all sorts of grimdarkness as the bad guys but have it hit by a wall of sillyness. Guns aren't an issue because they don't have to look like anything real and orks aren't expected to hit anything in the first place.

Really easy to cover the usual saturday morning cartoon characters too
>main character a mekboy with a crazy new plan each episode
>his surprisingly huge but dimwitted ork attendant
>the two grot "helpers" that try to sabotage the meks plans, often accidentally saving the day or making things work
>the warboss there to shake his power klaw at the mek when everything goes wrong, perfect for plot devices

Having the enemies be seen from the perspective of the orks and with the ability to poke fun at the 40k universe would make it fun for both kids and adults. Marines in large groups stomping around making dustclouds constantly shouting out "EMPRAHEMPRAHEMPRAH" etc.

I'd watch the fuck outta that.

Oh god i heard the Chaos part in cobra commanders voice

... i would watch that.

9/10

Does that make their target audience 40Kids

Is it autistic that I know exactly what the original image is of your image?

I have a feeling it would turn out a lot like the 80s GI Joe cartoon.

The bolters all shoot lasers now?

No, the Lasguns do, silly.

Nono, don't be silly.
The space marines are obviously equipped with their default weapon, the multilaser

>"EMPRAHEMPRAHEMPRAH"

>Space Marines in full armor
>Necrons
>sparks and metal bits instead of blood and flesh

...

could play around with Titans, some good ol' giant robot madness, with lots of sparks and superficial explosions

>Show is technically for kids
>Space Vietnam leads to a blue on blue incident where brothers kill brothers
>Ventress impales guy, kisses him, and lets his lifeless body fall to the ground
>Relatable kid character decapitates a room full of Mando's for shits and giggles
At some point, I'm pretty sure a cn exec said "fuck it, if Lucas is going to pay for everything, will keep putting it on air"

Combine these two and I'm sold.

That show was really fucked up.
>clone in one of the first few episodes gets eaten alive
>the survivors become semi-major characters
>dies in the end after being shot by his brothers
>his last words were something along the lines of "do you feel it? Brother?"
>no blood but plenty of decapitations.

Don't be like Brian the Blood Raven. Always return the things you borrow.

Rogue Trader and his crew going on adventure throughout the galaxy.
Grimdark Star Trek

>no blood but plenty of decapitations
If said decapitations were done with lightsabers, there can't be blood since that shit is hot enough to melt metal. Any inflicted wound would immediately be painfully cauterized
