Warhammer

Since Warhammer has been a canon since the early 1980, why hasn't a film or TV adaptation been made? What's holding them back? Political reasons? Lack of funding? Lack of public interest? Lore too large? they have games, books but nothing visual (that I know of)

And that's where you fucked up.

They made a cgi Ultramarines movie, it was kind of terrible. I've given it quite a bit of thought, and no matter how I look at it the scale is just entirely too large, and the setting too unforgiving. In a series like that, people would want to explore characters from every faction, but they can't really live together because the setting says they're all at war. You could have a crew of pirates, but even then they'd all have to be of one race, fleeing something, and as soon as they ran into any of the other races they'd all be dead.

You couldn't have an Ork or Grot comic relief character because they release spores and would generate more of themselves. You can't befriend a Necron, Tyranid, Dark Eldar or anything in any way related to Chaos. Even the "good" Eldar despise and manipulate anything that isn't Eldar. The Tau try to force diversity but this makes them kinda faggy and they're simply not protagonist material, see the failure of "fire warrior" for an example.

You get variations of the same problems with every branch of the Imperium.

Toy soldiers used for autistic board games don't make for a proper mass appeal brand.

Starship Troopers started out as a WH40k movie. The notoriously jewy owners of Warhammer pulled the plug part-way through, though elements remain. The Mobile Infantry from the movie are actually Warhammer's Imperial Guard, which is why they differ so much from the book version.

The franchise is owned by a bunch of Eternal Anglos who as you know can be even jewier than actual Jews at times. They are extremely protective of the brand. And also, even they perhaps realize that the universe they have created is just too large to justify a trilogy of 2 to 3 hour flicks.

Somebody say Warhammer?

Because it's fucking awful anywhere but the imagination

You literally just made that up.

Because Warhammer doesn't have a canon, it has a bunch of hyperbolic and satirical whispers and lies propaganda fiction that fanboys have put considerably more effort into deciphering than anyone that has ever worked for Games Workshop.

I'm disappointed.

Starship Trooper was originally a military sci fi monster flick called Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine.
StarCraft was originally supposed to be a Warhammer 40,000 game.
Don't tell lies faggot.

I mean autistic board games are way beats hanging with fags and degenerates 9/10 as much as I beat women.

LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYZ!
