… the Peculiar Star of the Live-Action Warhammer 40K TV Series "The fact that it's somehow taken until 2019 for Games Workshop to attempt to bring the rich, ridiculous fiction of its grimdark Warhammer 40,000 universe to live-action is peculiar enough. That Gregor Eisenhorn is the face of that long-awaited push, even more so. Need a quick trip to the Black Library to brush up on him? We've got you covered. Games Workshop's tabletop universe is filled with all sorts of over the top alien races and evil forces. It takes place in a far-future setting where humanity stands on the brink of annihilation, as the dwindling empire established by its immortal emperor eons prior is slowly picked apart by alien invasion, chaotic corruption, and all sorts of other nasty things you'd expect from a world that helped christen the term "grimdark" in the first place…"

i think, if done properly and not with GW's generally shoddy production values, boring scripts (dear God…..witness the last movie attempt), it will be pretty good……Eisenhorn and his bunch are my favourite stories. I am wary but looking forward to it. |

Hey, the Crystal maze turned out ok! What could possibly go wrong? |

My guess is it will die on its behind, but if it has a realistic budget, actors better than bits of 2x4, and a solid script it might break through… Bearing in mind that AFAIK there has been nothing else really done using a similar milieu. |

There are other GW movies? |

I haven't seen more than the preview of one at Games Day 2000 or 2001 or something. The preview was terrible. I don't think it got much of a release. I can see that this might be good, as TV for these sorts of niche interest shows has improved a LOT since the early 2000s (along with TV in general) but as with most TV things I wouldn't even classify myself as cautiously optimistic. And for it to be good beyond the first season would be stretching the limits of credulity. |
