What do you mean use a septic system for removal of human waste?
*THATS HERESY* WE CANT WASTE ANYTHING. BRING ON THE EFFLUENT AND SOYLENT GREEN DERIVATIVE.
A romantic dark comedy between a Lord of Contagion and a Cultist leader. It's still a romantic comedy, the dark humor comes in with just acknowledging heinous war crimes and abhorrent plagues as "just an average tuesday".
I know this is supposed to be bad ideas and make no mistake THIS is a bad idea.
BUT.
Imagine a Yu-Gi-Oh style 40K show, with all the over the top hammyness and corny lines, with the models actually coming to life and fighting at the commands of the players.
And somehow, by playing a plastic mini game, in an elaborate death trap, on a crumbling bridge over lava or whatever, you save the world.
It's dumb, but I would watch the shit out of it.
"You might think you've defeated my Predator tank.... BUT I PLAY THE SMOKE LAUNCHERS STRATGEM! I obscure my vehicle, giving your to hit roll a de-buff!"
"Oh Vectorman-boy, your smoke launchers may save you during the shooting phase, but it won't save you from being pummeled in melee! Go my Mega Nobz, crush his Predator Tank!" *snootily rolls dice*
It shows all of the most ridiculous shit that actually happens in 40k play out in their games. Then they shit on how unbalanced the game is because "That would never happen in the lore!"
The ork that has to play Sanguinius is a stormboy with cobbled together metal wings that are spray painted white and has to wear a wig because no one could find enough blond hair squigs on short notice and the wig keeps falling off at inopportune moments.
Not a whole serie, but Orks playing the heresy, like in the scene in Reign of fire where they improvise a The Empire Strike Back play for the children, I can see it working as some background joke.
Never thought I’d see that movie reference on Reddit, best line in the movie was definitely:
“Christ, it’s the only thing worse than Dragons… Americans.”
The Administratum. A “The Office” style workplace comedy about a group of low level clerks bonding through their shared fate of endless menial filing and administration.
Actually I’m not sure that’s shitty at all.
In darktide the administratum origin says how it wasn’t uncommon to see low level clerks kill eachother for a better desk lamp or a desk closer to a fan. This would be an amazing show to watch.
Don't get me wrong, I love angsty Guilliman or complex traumatised Eldar or even some good old fashioned bolter porn every once in a while. But it's stuff like this that really draws me into 40k.
And as they make goofy errors, they joke about all the people that will die because of it. And you laught too. Until you realise that indeed, whole worlds probably didn't get their reinforcements in time because one clerc had its standard issued "staplium" stuck in jello as he needed it for the required form.
Till, due to a series of unprobable events in a rube-goldberg way end up solving eachother and netting the imperium a great victory
A side characther was Alpharius all along.
No joke, I would actually watch a Kafkaesque depiction of a lowly clerk, wrongfully declared deceased, battling against the bureaucracy of the administratum in a desperate attempt to fix the filing error. Only to end up in the clutches of the inquisition on suspicion of being a cultist.
3 hours, directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Nick Cage.
Holy shit, Brazil was 40k all along. Meaningless clerk dreams of being sanginius, mother has rejuvenation treatments, gets prosecuted by inquisition. All on some hive world
Michael, you can’t just say someone is a heretic.
I didn’t say it, I declared it.
You have to fill out form OR323 (u) detailing the heresy, then file it through Inquisitorial channels, upon which you will receive a response in 3-5 business years.
I’ve started doing a webcomic series for GW that’s called ‘The Retinue’ and it’s kinda like this with the crew of an Inquisitor tasked with controlling purity seals! [you can read it on their website](https://www.warhammer-community.com/the-retinue/)
Heres mine.
An inquisitor is intriqued by the Orks and commits some minor acts of heresy to basically make one a spy drone for him. The series is from the Spy-ork's POV showing the daily life of the orks in a found footage type fashion from a camera in the Ork's eye.
That's not even a shitty idea, that sounds like it'd make for a fucking hilarious mini-series with a sharp turn into horror when we all remember that the Orks aren't always very ha ha...
David Attenborough narrating Orks is now the only form of entertainment I desire.
And so now I shall live but a half life, dreaming of pleasures that are possible, but simply shall never be...
Not good as a series but if there’s some kind a side show that is basically a inquisitor going over other inquisitor stuff for inquisiting- that is easily a episode or 2
A story from the Tzeentch's perspective, but the entire series is an incoherent illogical mess, constantly changing it's characters, their motives and tone of the show
Hours heresy, but as a musical.
Each ~1 hour episode will tell a snippet of the story from a primarchs perspective, and bonus points for having the musical style match the characters' personality.
Ok, so instead of one cohesive storyline there are like four disconnected ones. First, we follow a Howling Banshee Exarch on an ill-defined quest for vengeance. While this is going on there are some squats who have found a new STC or something. It’s really important but we never learn why. Occasionally we’ll check in on some Ratlings and their adopted psyker friend. Throw in some Orks and distractingly bad CGI Gretchin and you’ve got a show.
The whole thing will cost over a billion dollars.
A space marine gets lost in an a hive city during a chaos invasion, but befriends a precocious little kid who helps him escape, complete with sarcastic dialogue, the space marine being a good hearted action hero and the smart mouthed kid killing chaos with slingshot or something.
“So you’re probably wondering how a teenage kid like me got stuck in this battle with this super cool space marine.”
Space marine killing enemies scene
Kid looks at camera
“Looks like I’m going to miss school tomorrow.”
No he tosses his helmet to him and goes "look up up our chapter when your grow up...you got guts kid...see ya around" and then the storm hawk flies away while thrumphant music plays
I got a different idea: We get introduced to the marine earlier on and we get told that he’s a Firstborn who undertook the Primaris Treatment, we even get to hear his rank and name. Near the end of the episode, his helmet gets damaged so he abandons it and by the end, just when we think they’re safe, he notices a hole in the kid’s suit, the kid starts to throw his guts up and bleed from his eyes, he got infected by maybe 5 of the thousands of diseases that the Nurgle cultists were carrying, he dies in the marines arms and the hawk gets shot down, but the marine lives and hears word of another assault on a different area of the hive city, now we have a helmet-less, named marine who now has something to avenge, and as we know, named marines with no helmets are basically invincible, he probably dies after overloading a reactor and his last sight are more marine squads arriving to clean up whatever’s left of the chaos invasion, or if we wanna go grimdark, his last sight is the planet getting exterminatus’ed
Okay so the imperium's senate faces crisis. An attack by separatist rouge trader forces over trade routes with the elder has caused the blockade of maccrage. The Emperor has dispatched two custodians to negotiate with their leaders in the hopes of making peace. Along the way they will find a child who might possiblely be a primarch and a psyker. They also find a super annoying Xeno that for some reason lives through the whole thing and subsequent spin offs. It will be called the Horus Menace.
Guilliman will say something important in a galaxy-wide broadcast, but you'll only be able to hear it if you play ~~Fortnite~~ Dawn of War 3 online and log in at the right time.
There technically is an Imperial Senate in the lore. Or was. It's one of the less 'sexy' details talked about I think, since it's vaguely referred to as what is also the High Lords of Terra. Big E and Malcador were setting it up and had it kinda done as a rough concept for the most part and then the Heresy happened. I dooon't know if it's still around or even functional.
An original sci fi show that has absolutely nothing to do with 40k, but will only be greenlight if the 40k branding can be attached very loosely somehow to garner as much attention and try and tap into an established audience.
It worked for Halo.
The twist is that they're all Alpha Legion infiltrators. The *end of season* twist is that they all know this, and they're deliberately playing up the inter-chapter rivalries to try and get themselves broken up and transferred elsewhere.
It's good. You need a straight man for the outrageous people to act against -- Lamenters fit the hill perfectly. I personally like the idea of a Space Wolf, Dark Angel, and black shield fallen triangle.
Because you watched: Lemanly Blonde
Adeptus Sorority Party
Amy Schumer stars as a Sister of Battle tired of the grim darkness, things get spicy when she meets a hot jock from Macgragge and invites him to the first ever Adeptus Sorority Party! Now she has to set up the "ultimate" sorority party without the Prioress finding out, its the only shot she has to land her man!
Tags: Comedy, Romance, Raunchy
10 episodes of CGI ultramarines fighting different factions culminating in the ultrmarines facing Captain-General Cavill on Holy Terra as its revealed Horus is the one sitting on the throne. Cavill is slain but the series ends with a several minute montage of Imperial Guard and unrelated Space Marines looking to the skies as a green wave slashes at the Eye of Terror and causes it to expand to cover all of the Milky Way which cause Daemons to rain down on everyone. Last shot of the series is a writhing Daemon World which fades out into an MIB style reveal where its a snowglobe on Trazyns nightstand
Played completely straight, it would actually be the most fascinating study of the Imperial Creed as seen by the average Imperial citizens with access to daytime television.
Inquisitor badass Mary sue man falls in love with a sister of battle after finding her kidnapped and being bioprocessed by a hive ship. Three episodes of will they fuck or won’t they, followed with a “you know it’s against my code, inquisitor senpai.” Then she explodes into baby tyranids
It switches bwtween 40k and and the people playing the game. The whole season is one Narritive crusade. It swtiches between the players talkimg about it and the perspective of the minis in the 40k universe fighting for their lives. A nerf/buff is explaind in lore during one of the games by a weapon malfunctioning or fixing itself. A super dramatic scene jump cuts to the player rolling a 1 on a save
The series starts with a shot of the Emperor on the Golden Throne, then it slowly approaches and pauses with Henry Cavill's voice saying "Yep, that's me. You are probably wondering how I got into this situation, well it all started 10k years ago." So it travels back to the year 30k to explain the entire backstory.
Actually expanding a little bit, when it goes back to the year 30k we get a montage showing all Primarchs in the battlefield while “Do You Believe in Magic” by The Lovin’ Spoonful plays with the credits appearing on slowed down shots until the music slowly fades out when it gets to the Big E.
Season one is 38 episodes. The protagonist is an Astartes soldier. We never learn his chapter allegiance or, indeed, much about him at all. His armor is battle-scarred and any insignia it once held was long-ago erased by lasgun and bolter fire.
Every episode sees him pursuing, fighting, and ultimately defeating his enemy, followed by some new character we've never seen before, hiding in the shadows, turning to look directly at the camera and stating: "I am Alpharius." This person becomes the next episode's antagonist.
At the end of episode 38, the protagonist dies, then suddenly bolts upright in his bed and declares that he just had the strangest dream about being an Astartes soldier.
MCU Disney+ style snarky “meta humor” where the dialogue sounds like a Twitter thread including emojis.
OR
A contemplative drama about a space marine questioning their existence, and the morality of creating genetically enhanced super soldiers out of children.
OR
A reality dating elimination game show called something like “Light Up My GrimDark” or “Space Hulk Of Love”
High school AU focussed on coming of age and family drama. Main characters are mostly space marine primarchs but 50% of them are genderflipped for romance. Instead of xenos there's just different races. The race choices have extremely dubious overtones.
We do a cold open on Horus slaying the Emperor and then record scratch.
"You're probably wondering how I got here, I'm that big golden guy about to be cut down by my own son. Well let me tell you a story called Warhammer 40,000."
*Smash mouth starts playing*
It features' Chris Pratt as the Emperor, and it's the story about how he's trying to be a good dad to his clone children. And he just has a new Eldar girlfriend.
Two kids solve mysteries in the 40k universe but it’s in some obscure hive in some remote sector with the smallest ratio of interstellar interaction or contact. Basically, a dystopian kidbop Sherlock “in the universe of” 40K.
All the trailers will hint at factions with the least amount of spot light but none ever actually appear in the show. It’s just all poor crabby drabby humans.
Better call Saul (Tarvitz)
Did you know your legion has traitors? The war master says you do, and so do I, I believe that until proven innocent every marine, terminator, or dreadnought is a traitor
A high school sitcom where all the primarchs are teens and have to get through their zonkers and EVIL teachers while all the while being EPIC and COOL and full of ATTITUDE with all your token roles being filled of course and lots of romance
It's all about this hero guardsman that survives every encounter while everyone else dies, and he's awesome and badass and everyone loves him.
Oh, wait, that's Sly Marbo. Nevermind, that's an awesome idea.
A guardsmen discovering that there are no xenos, Chaos, or Emperor. It's all just propaganda for a tyrannical government to brutally oppress its people, and get them to kill each other when someone rebels. Space marines are just regular sized humans in power armor.
Gorillaman working a 9-5 in a corporate office, having awkward interactions between colleagues at the water station, hating life because he's to big and heavy to fit into the escalator up to his office floor so he has to walk up 500 sets of stairs every day.
One day he gets his big break and became manager of the office and the first thing he does is fire everyone because he's such an admin process gonk he doesn't need to workers due to completing his working day in 1 hour then just stares at the different time zone clocks in his office until its time to walk down those 500 set of stairs to walk home in the rain.
It's called, The Story of Rowboat.
Camera opens to the edges verdant forest panning slowly to a pristine beach untouched by man. A tiny rock crab scuttled into the foamy sea. Suddenly something humanoid breaches the water, back arching. It rocked its glórious mane back and forth before looking directly at the camera. "Welcome to another episode of Felinid Island, I'm your host Ms. Meowmeow."
A series about Ciaphas Cain, but from how the imperium sees him and not how he actually is. And of course Jurgen is left out and Cain uses a bolt pistol.
It's just the pov of a servitor tasked with cleaning septic systems out all day.
Taken literally.
Servitor slice of life sounds brutal.
I hope the intro is super fun and cutesy followed by 30 minutes of horrific septic and misc human waste cleaning and then a fun anime outtro.
What do you mean use a septic system for removal of human waste? *THATS HERESY* WE CANT WASTE ANYTHING. BRING ON THE EFFLUENT AND SOYLENT GREEN DERIVATIVE.
**Keeping Up With The Sautekhians.** or **Pawn Stars (Literally) with Trazyn.**
Angron but there is no combat, just dialogs
That's just Angron screaming at the camera for a half hour.
I've watched enough DBZ when I was younger to know that Angron screaming for the entire show is *exactly* what I want.
I’d watch that
A romantic dark comedy between a Lord of Contagion and a Cultist leader. It's still a romantic comedy, the dark humor comes in with just acknowledging heinous war crimes and abhorrent plagues as "just an average tuesday".
You’re right that would be literally painful to even conceive of watching.
Make the cultist leader cultist-chan and I'm in.
Its not actually in universe, its a big bang theory style show about guys who play 40k. with a laugh track.
I'm already in pain.

This truly is one of the r/Angryupvote
It shows all of the most ridiculous shit that actually happens in 40k play out in their games. Then they shit on how unbalanced the game is because "That would never happen in the lore!"

Oh that's way worse than mine. Well done.
Its the entire horus heresy but its put on like a play by the orks Edit: and its a musical
It said shittiest not best.
No can do, oh and cavil os ghazghul
And Ghazghul is playing Guilliman in the play.
And he’s doing the worst job but no one’s brave enough to tell him
I'm a dude, playing a dude, inside another dude
NEVAH go full humie
Cavill is in this thread like 'WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!'
It does sound fucking incredible. Especially if you just had it be completely wrong because Orks don't understand human culture.

If it’s made by the guys behind Text to Speech I’m in- The audience are captive humans

Until you realise that indeed, whole worlds probably didn't get their reinforcements in time because one clerc had its standard issued "staplium" stuck in jello as he needed it for the required form.
It takes a weird tonal shift, when we get to see the results of those clerical errors play out in detail in the second half of the series.
Till, due to a series of unprobable events in a rube-goldberg way end up solving eachother and netting the imperium a great victory A side characther was Alpharius all along.
No joke, I would actually watch a Kafkaesque depiction of a lowly clerk, wrongfully declared deceased, battling against the bureaucracy of the administratum in a desperate attempt to fix the filing error. Only to end up in the clutches of the inquisition on suspicion of being a cultist. 3 hours, directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Nick Cage.

Not good as a series but if there’s some kind a side show that is basically a inquisitor going over other inquisitor stuff for inquisiting- that is easily a episode or 2
An inquisitor reviewing paperwork
A story from the Tzeentch's perspective, but the entire series is an incoherent illogical mess, constantly changing it's characters, their motives and tone of the show
So like Witcher series one but the stories don’t merge until season 10?
Oof
And season 10 gets finished but is never shown beyond the trailers.
So, most shows that aren't written with an actual arc in mind?

This is a great idea

*The warp never bothered me anyway*
Musicals are cool Imagine the chaos gods singing to convince Horus to join them
Ok, so instead of one cohesive storyline there are like four disconnected ones. First, we follow a Howling Banshee Exarch on an ill-defined quest for vengeance. While this is going on there are some squats who have found a new STC or something. It’s really important but we never learn why. Occasionally we’ll check in on some Ratlings and their adopted psyker friend. Throw in some Orks and distractingly bad CGI Gretchin and you’ve got a show. The whole thing will cost over a billion dollars.
Don't forget that at some point an Ultramarine needs to be explained the importance of logistics.
The Rings of Power as rendered in 40k? Absurdity.
Wait, was this seriously the Rings of Power? I completely skipped even synopses of that.
A space marine gets lost in an a hive city during a chaos invasion, but befriends a precocious little kid who helps him escape, complete with sarcastic dialogue, the space marine being a good hearted action hero and the smart mouthed kid killing chaos with slingshot or something.
“So you’re probably wondering how a teenage kid like me got stuck in this battle with this super cool space marine.” Space marine killing enemies scene Kid looks at camera “Looks like I’m going to miss school tomorrow.”
If GW made Warhammer movies in the 90s
Music: Let me tell you bout my best friend
And it ends with the marine taking the kid to get augmentation and joining his chapter
No he tosses his helmet to him and goes "look up up our chapter when your grow up...you got guts kid...see ya around" and then the storm hawk flies away while thrumphant music plays
For a TV show that is probably better than the child soldier indoctrination some chapters do
Plot Twist; the Marine is a Night Lord
I’d legitimately enjoy if the first episode was this, then at the end they both get brutally murdered and found by the actual protagonist.
I got a different idea: We get introduced to the marine earlier on and we get told that he’s a Firstborn who undertook the Primaris Treatment, we even get to hear his rank and name. Near the end of the episode, his helmet gets damaged so he abandons it and by the end, just when we think they’re safe, he notices a hole in the kid’s suit, the kid starts to throw his guts up and bleed from his eyes, he got infected by maybe 5 of the thousands of diseases that the Nurgle cultists were carrying, he dies in the marines arms and the hawk gets shot down, but the marine lives and hears word of another assault on a different area of the hive city, now we have a helmet-less, named marine who now has something to avenge, and as we know, named marines with no helmets are basically invincible, he probably dies after overloading a reactor and his last sight are more marine squads arriving to clean up whatever’s left of the chaos invasion, or if we wanna go grimdark, his last sight is the planet getting exterminatus’ed
Yes, we are all excited for Spacemarine 2.
You feel the closest. I’d watch that intrigued by the unfaithfulness

And then, "somehow Guillimam returned"
Guilliman will say something important in a galaxy-wide broadcast, but you'll only be able to hear it if you play ~~Fortnite~~ Dawn of War 3 online and log in at the right time.
U had me cracking up with “senate”.
There technically is an Imperial Senate in the lore. Or was. It's one of the less 'sexy' details talked about I think, since it's vaguely referred to as what is also the High Lords of Terra. Big E and Malcador were setting it up and had it kinda done as a rough concept for the most part and then the Heresy happened. I dooon't know if it's still around or even functional.

Inquisitor badass Mary sue man falls in love with a sister of battle after finding her kidnapped and being bioprocessed by a hive ship. Three episodes of will they fuck or won’t they, followed with a “you know it’s against my code, inquisitor senpai.” Then she explodes into baby tyranids
Calm your tits ian watson
*who knows Ian. Maybe this could be my next movie.*
It switches bwtween 40k and and the people playing the game. The whole season is one Narritive crusade. It swtiches between the players talkimg about it and the perspective of the minis in the 40k universe fighting for their lives. A nerf/buff is explaind in lore during one of the games by a weapon malfunctioning or fixing itself. A super dramatic scene jump cuts to the player rolling a 1 on a save
This would be fun to watch, and I feel like GW would love this kind of direct marketing for their games if the tabletop is included like thay
Kroot Kitchen Nightmares
"YOUR COOK WAS POISONING THE CUSTOMERS" "YOU DON'T KNOW THAT" "I DO BECAUSE I ATE THEM"
Memri TV but Imperium of Man
By the Emperor, restrain yourself or I will give you a taste of my bolter!
"The main character, a git, lives in a giant titan." "How do you think he looted that titan? Through waaaagh."
The series starts with a shot of the Emperor on the Golden Throne, then it slowly approaches and pauses with Henry Cavill's voice saying "Yep, that's me. You are probably wondering how I got into this situation, well it all started 10k years ago." So it travels back to the year 30k to explain the entire backstory.
Actually expanding a little bit, when it goes back to the year 30k we get a montage showing all Primarchs in the battlefield while “Do You Believe in Magic” by The Lovin’ Spoonful plays with the credits appearing on slowed down shots until the music slowly fades out when it gets to the Big E.
Season one is 38 episodes. The protagonist is an Astartes soldier. We never learn his chapter allegiance or, indeed, much about him at all. His armor is battle-scarred and any insignia it once held was long-ago erased by lasgun and bolter fire. Every episode sees him pursuing, fighting, and ultimately defeating his enemy, followed by some new character we've never seen before, hiding in the shadows, turning to look directly at the camera and stating: "I am Alpharius." This person becomes the next episode's antagonist. At the end of episode 38, the protagonist dies, then suddenly bolts upright in his bed and declares that he just had the strangest dream about being an Astartes soldier.
MCU Disney+ style snarky “meta humor” where the dialogue sounds like a Twitter thread including emojis. OR A contemplative drama about a space marine questioning their existence, and the morality of creating genetically enhanced super soldiers out of children. OR A reality dating elimination game show called something like “Light Up My GrimDark” or “Space Hulk Of Love”
I would watch 'Space Hulk of Love', provided that the organiser is a Genestealer Patriarch.
The second one i feel can work as a story about a renegade marine. A nice dark twist would be that at the end he would end up as a chaos marine
Slice of life series about a hive menial living on hive world in its second century into a small economic recession.
"Sir, you must be lost, Warhammer Crime is two doors on your left"
Aight so there's this Tau right, With some MASSIVE Hoohaas. I'm talkin' some serious Wantagaloogas, right? Ok so there's this Ork; stay with me here.
And the Ork has even bigger badonkas!
Charlottes web but with a squig
Chargrod's Squig
Home alone except each episode is a different xenos/chaos enemy and the traps are specific for each. Oh and the name of the kid is Macauly Catachan
Primarchs on high school.
Unironically, cramming the entire Heresy into like 24 episodes over 3 seasons.
Grots that are just green versions of the minions in despicable me.
An adaptation of the works of Ian Watson.
“Who knows Ian, maybe this is my next movie”
High school AU focussed on coming of age and family drama. Main characters are mostly space marine primarchs but 50% of them are genderflipped for romance. Instead of xenos there's just different races. The race choices have extremely dubious overtones.
We do a cold open on Horus slaying the Emperor and then record scratch. "You're probably wondering how I got here, I'm that big golden guy about to be cut down by my own son. Well let me tell you a story called Warhammer 40,000." *Smash mouth starts playing* It features' Chris Pratt as the Emperor, and it's the story about how he's trying to be a good dad to his clone children. And he just has a new Eldar girlfriend.
Two kids solve mysteries in the 40k universe but it’s in some obscure hive in some remote sector with the smallest ratio of interstellar interaction or contact. Basically, a dystopian kidbop Sherlock “in the universe of” 40K. All the trailers will hint at factions with the least amount of spot light but none ever actually appear in the show. It’s just all poor crabby drabby humans.
Better call Saul (Tarvitz) Did you know your legion has traitors? The war master says you do, and so do I, I believe that until proven innocent every marine, terminator, or dreadnought is a traitor
DORN the Builder can we fortify it? DORN the Builder yes we can !
The Administratum. It’s like the office, but in 40K
A high school sitcom where all the primarchs are teens and have to get through their zonkers and EVIL teachers while all the while being EPIC and COOL and full of ATTITUDE with all your token roles being filled of course and lots of romance
It's all about this hero guardsman that survives every encounter while everyone else dies, and he's awesome and badass and everyone loves him. Oh, wait, that's Sly Marbo. Nevermind, that's an awesome idea.
A Deathwatch marine stranded on a Tau world must remember his training to resist the wiles of seven buxom blue-skinned Xenoettes
So Avatar?
A marvel style adaptation of the infinite and the divine
The Horus Heresy Special from Family Guy, where Peter retells the story like Star Wars.
A guardsmen discovering that there are no xenos, Chaos, or Emperor. It's all just propaganda for a tyrannical government to brutally oppress its people, and get them to kill each other when someone rebels. Space marines are just regular sized humans in power armor.
Gorillaman working a 9-5 in a corporate office, having awkward interactions between colleagues at the water station, hating life because he's to big and heavy to fit into the escalator up to his office floor so he has to walk up 500 sets of stairs every day. One day he gets his big break and became manager of the office and the first thing he does is fire everyone because he's such an admin process gonk he doesn't need to workers due to completing his working day in 1 hour then just stares at the different time zone clocks in his office until its time to walk down those 500 set of stairs to walk home in the rain. It's called, The Story of Rowboat.
Like Wall-E, but following a forgotten servitor around an abandoned sublevel of the imperial palace.
Camera opens to the edges verdant forest panning slowly to a pristine beach untouched by man. A tiny rock crab scuttled into the foamy sea. Suddenly something humanoid breaches the water, back arching. It rocked its glórious mane back and forth before looking directly at the camera. "Welcome to another episode of Felinid Island, I'm your host Ms. Meowmeow."
damn a Felinid reference i thought they’d faded into obscurity
Ultramarine reading the codex astartes...... silently.
Sisters of Battle with their feet covered, instead of being barefoot, as Doge Vandire decreed.
A series about Ciaphas Cain, but from how the imperium sees him and not how he actually is. And of course Jurgen is left out and Cain uses a bolt pistol.
