Aqui Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Or James Earl Jones Horus...I, Am your Father! I did mean his voice in general. Such a deep bassy sound. Not the fact that he was famous for a certain Sith But back on topic...I do think that focusing on a specific part of the Heresy that would be a footnote to others' eyes (i.e. Transhuman), might be a good idea. So many battles that the Imperial Army fought that (as far as I know) have not been recounted...

Remus Ventanus. Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Neil degrasse Tyson as the emperor Sorry, but the role of God-Emperor will forever be played by the one true god-actor, Morgan Freeman.

Marshal Rohr Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It's kind of hard to have female characters when the 19 most important people in the universe are all men.

Wolf Lord Loki Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I have to say, I get tired of these sorts of threads. Like one poster said we get them every few months and it end up being a list of actors who I don't recognise but probably belong to the most current popular TV series. The biggest issue is why? As in "why tell this story?" You need to find a focus for the story. The primarchs are demi gods in battle they are akin to Sauron in the opening credits of Lord of the Rings. And there were twenty of them. To a new audience how do you introduction 18 demigods (and explain what happened to the 2 missing ones while keeping in universe)? I say give this topic a rest. Even the great crusade was 2-300 hundred years of history with a cast in the thousands. It's not do able by any shakes of the imagination. And the heresy relies on this as it's grounding.

Ion Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 What about Unification Wars? Lots of room for imagination, people like the post apocalyptic trope, and you wouldn't need the excessive background of 30k might require. It'd also avoid at least some degree of nerd rage. Maybe even have it slanted with the Emperor as the main antagonist from the protagonists' perspectives.

Kharnfest Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Due to the numerous reasons, both from an artistic and practical standpoint, I don't think it could, much less should, be made. The biggest issues are: 1. Sheer scale in every aspect. Marines are roughly 8 feet in height with their armor on (taller in other legions), Primarchs are pseudo-human behemoths, space battles are fought in between star systems, and their is so much detail to cover, from the legions to the mechanicum, that I really don't think its possible to accomplish even a fraction of that. 2. relatibility/ethics is another issue. Unless done in the style of ADB or Mcneil's books (both authors regularly critiscize the Imperium and its agents while making such characters flawed but sympathetic) I imagine audiences won't like the idea of protaginists who are best case scenario single minded killing machines in service of a massive star spanning dictatorship that might as well be run by R/Atheism. The way the Imperium and Chaos is depicted is very important because if handled poorly it might end up looking like a deep space version of a racist Youtube animation. 3. A TV series if remaining faithful to the source material will quickly become a money pit and I would see budget cuts being a massive issue that regularly impacts. But Ron Perlman should definitely animate it.

Kharnfest Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 It's kind of hard to have female characters when the 19 most important people in the universe are all men. I think the gender of the Primarch's is up to major debate, since they by no means qualify as human by literally any standard. Gender to them might be entirely different or just non existent. If the show uses Remembrancers as protaginists (like most of the books do) than creating/adapting female characters shouldn't be too much of an issue.
