      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.

      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…

        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.
