    Default WH40k novels to movies?

    What WH40k novels you want to be in a movie?
    I'd like Soul Drinker novels to be made into a movie (well every single one novel into one movie)

    None of them, since there are too few novels base on Chaos and the rest are just Imperial propaganda.

    The first three Horus Heresy books, obviously.

    yea, then again pretty much every one of the HH books so far are movie material.

    i imagine the mechanicus one would be awesome from a cgi perspective..would have a nerdgasm if that was pulled off properly.

    So basically you want another zombie film?

    I think Gaunts Ghosts might make a good movie.

    last chancers...i enjoyed their mission to kill the tau commander.

    some random violence in it that the general audience (not original fans of wh40k) would not enjoy though..

    I prefer no WH40K movie be made. Don't get me wrong I love WH40K. But I do not like how Hollywood butchers game IPs. If you saw the Doom movie and played the games (especially Doom 3) you know what I am talking about...

    Yeah that's right about Hollywood...Horus will be the good guy, and Sanguinius will be the traitorous Warmaster if directors like Uwe Boll go anywhere near HH movies...

    TV series would be better. Something small and character driven, like the way HBO did Rome. So I'm thinking something like Gaunt's Ghosts or Last Chancers.
    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are so certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts.

    The problem with this is that GW would never base a tv show about Imperial Guard. They would probably choose Marines. (As usual)

    Only because GW is stupid. Space Marines are so overdone. I mean whats so heroic about superhuman soldiers battling superhuman aliens? They are a overdone cliche.

    Imperial Guard on the other hand are normal humans fighting against so insane it causes a BSOD for the mind. I mean normal humans fighting superhuman aliens, Daemons, extra dimensional entities, and Daemon worshipping heretics. I mean, how could you not see that as heroic. Makes me want to scream Oooh Rah for the Guard.

    GW is stupid and they piss me off with all fluff seen from a Imperial perspective for once I'd like to read something from a Eldar, Tau, Chaos, or (Hell, I'm feeling curious) Ork perspective. Necron? Yeah but Necrons never speak, leave no records, and C'Tan probably can't be understood anyway.
