If it's anything like Rings of Power, then forget everything you know about 40k Lore because it will all be thrown out of the window

1: Amazon only had the rights to the LOTR appendices.

2: They hired showrunners who only had one credit to their name and recommended by Jar Jar Abrams. (The destroyer of franchises)

Who knows what we end up with but GW and Henry involved it will be made with passion not by people who hate the source material.

There's also the Black Library to work from.

There's some awsome TV shows on amazon.
 
For those who haven't checked GW main website.

Games Workshop and Amazon Studios are working together to bring the Warhammer 40,000 universe to screens, big and small alike*.

And there’s more! One of Warhammer’s most famous superfans, Henry Cavill (well-known for pointing out chandeliers that look like Blackstone Fortresses) is on board, too. He’s bringing his lore expertise to the mantle of Executive Producer, and his sword arm to the starring role.

Strong female character.
Princeps of a warlord titan :p
Nearly all imperial navy and space marine barge captains seem to be female.

I remember him having a big thing for the custodes. He could easily play one. Given their more individual nature it might be better than a space marine Captain/squad etc blah.

I hope it's not Tyranids. That boring that's aliens all over again.

Orcs would be a cockney cringe fest but so much CGI and probably too brutal.

A murder mystery detective theme. Inquisitional host and entourage.
Meh it could be done, it's probably most likely given the recent success of darktide.
The ease of everyone being humanish.
But it's not like starwars were xenos can mix openly with humanity.

Eldar meh. What about a anti china Tau series.. :p i could watch Cavell stamping on tau for a few series.

Imperial guard POV war film... Sure why not but any conflict is going to feel way too small and not do justice.

HH is were it's at but would need to be so epic. Too epic for TV .

Void battles please include some....

Woke space marines will make me very sad.

I don't think the world is ready for Warhammer's strong women!!!

"There's no female space marines bleh bleh bleh"

How about some Sisters Repentia!!

Some Sisters of Silence if we going down the custodies route hah Melt down would be glorious.

Hope they pull it off, but it will be hard, bloody hard.

They could do something like event horizon, that's basically a 40k space film if there ever was one.

Normal humans and nasty demons or even a genestealer cult.

They can do any film they want. That's the beauty.

Genestealers would be V or invasion of the body snatchers.

But they need a strong start so where on earth do you start.

It said films and TV are planned.
 
Just had time to actually get caught up in a few things.

Looks like he got his spot as executive producer :)
championed by Henry Cavill, who stands ready to take his place as executive producer – bringing his pen, sword and/or spear to the project.

They (Warhammer) already did the female custodies retcon in Tithes on Warhammer+.

I just caught up with with all the Warhammer + content at the weekend.

If that’s the way Female Custodies are going to be then why do it. It was just a lady dude that acted and looked like a man. The Sister of Silence was awesome.

Men and women are different if they ain’t going to display that in the writing or on the screen then what’s the point.
