    Man I really need to hurry up with pitching a script. Seems like they're accepting everything nowadays.

    I don't think this will work as a tv series. Are there that many specific individuals that are worth presenting? (well, it's not like they can show whole decades, even if they start at the dawn of the age of Imperium).
    I suppose they could just start with the Tyranid invasion, but that is just humans vs tyranids and little different from Starship Troopers. Iirc the concurrent events are the human-tau war and then the tau-orc war. Still will be hard to present as something making sense.

    its a book adaption, or at least based on, so you should easily be able to find out what its gonna be

    Eisenhorn will see Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn and his band of investigators fight to thwart the monstrous schemes of aliens, heretics and demons before mankind’s doom is sealed.

    Eisenhorn are probably the best novels to adapt from 40k, so im looking forward to it.

    But yeah, no tyranids, tau or anything on that regard.
    Even space marines, chaos or loyalists, across the 4 novels appear like, 2 brief times iirc.
    Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

    What's the point if it doesn't have chaos gods or any other interesting monster or faction?

    Possibly just made for the administratum fan servicum.
