So any news on Warhammer 40k?

[-] illi@lemm.ee 68 points 2 weeks ago

I really hope he catches break with that one. Seemed really passionate about it.

And the whole setting allows for awesome sci fi, with spin offs if successful. I'm not holding my breath but it would be awesome if the series opens the door for broad application of the franchise.

Decades of universe building and flexible enough to allow new stuff. But Tyranids, orcs, chaos, eldar, necron, Hive cities, battlefleet, titans.. please don't let them fuck this up.

please don’t let them fuck this up.

Totally unrelated question: Which chaos god feeds on disappointment? Tzeentch? Malice?

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Nurgle does despair right?

[-] Hugin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's my thought. I think his plauges spread suffering and despair. Tempting you to join him as a follower making you no longer mind all of the suffering.

I never dived into Warhammer, but pretty stoked about the project as it may be a good point to jump into the rabbit hole

[-] ours@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Such a flexible universe too. Anything from magic & monsters, space battles to sci-fi WWI/II stories.

I wouldn't hold out much hope. Games Workshop was a nightmare to work with in the past. Doubley more now that they're owned primarily by BlackRock and investment banks.

If Netflix can totally fuck up the literal gimmie that was the Witcher..

they need to get the guy who did the astartes cg, lock him in a room with cavill and let them hash out the first 10 movies.

[-] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Lock ADB and Dan Abnett in with them for good measure.

Amazon's writers throwing spanners

[+] Perturabo@lemmy.world -50 points 2 weeks ago

Amazon went woke mode and ruined it, it seems.

[-] MikeOToxin@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

Tell us where the woke touched you.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Wait until he hears about the Adepta Sororitas...

[-] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 27 points 2 weeks ago

Did you really just use the word 'woke' outside of the comments section of sky/fox news videos?

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 20 points 2 weeks ago

What does "woke" mean to you, exactly?

[-] Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

So in case anyone wonders what that unhinged excuse for a sentence is supposed to mean: there is a rumour that came from a random unverified 4chan post that amazon wanted a woman in power armour and a sister of battle wasn't good enough. Which is why there's a female custodian in the latest codex.

The rumour also states that cavill now wants to leave. The source is about as trustworthy as something sharpied on a highschool bathroom wall and was only spread by angry youtubers that got suddenly into 40k without realising it started of as a parody of fascism. So I wouldn't be too worried honestly.

[-] Belastend@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

and by woke you mean they included black people?

[-] Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

No the rumour is about the other controversial political group, women. How dare amazon insert politics into my fascist parody plastic soldiers misery porn?!

[-] Hugin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Which is odd that some people care so much about this. Games Workshop used to make female space marine models but stopped because they didn't sell well.

My head canon is that with all the hormones to boost mucles, organs changed out, bones merged with ceramics, extra heart, special space marine reproductive organ in the chest, black carapace, acid spit, memory eating organ, etc. Doesn't matter if you start with Judy Garland or Arnold Schwarzenegger you get Lou Ferrigno at the end.

[-] Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's actually a nice idea. Personally I've thought of it like a donor match with the geneseed. (and one of the missing primarchs is female and so was their entire legion)
