Wait....they are making a movie?....

Fully CGI one, yes. This time done by proffesionals :3

What's the plot?

Aint said yet, there are very little details besides the fact that Dan Albeit will be writing the script!11111111one him beeing the brilliant author he is.

But do check http://ultramarinesthemovie.com for info

Actually, I like Ian Watson more ( "Inquisition War" ).
He really makes the grim universe of 40k to come true.

Abnett just writes action stories.

Yes, I know I am about to be flamed

It's Warhammer 40k and it's named "Ultramarines". 99% chance that it'll be about the Ultramarines shooting shit up.

So, some orcs invade a Tau planet. And the Tau are getting pretty beat up. Then some necrons arrive, and kill all the orcs. And the Tau, who've never seen Necrons before, are like "OUR HEROES!", and set up a victory parade in their honour. So the necrons roll up in the middle of this parade, and shoot everyone.

Thats the plot.

99% chance it will end up being suck.

Don't think 40k lends itself well to the big screen tbh.

Thus why they're starting small with StDVD.

I disagree with that. As we've seen in the Dawn of War games, Warhammer 40k makes for some absolutely spectacular battle scenes. As for the writing, even short stories in the various Codexes and supplements have more substance than the majority of modern sci-fi.

Sincerely pleased they went for an all British voice cast, as opposed to most stuff where they get a legion of yanks and have them butcher any form of English accent.

I'd argue that story isn't the Warhammer franchise's strong part, which is what I think movies is all about. We'll see, though I remain extremely skeptical.

They'll either have to dumb it down a lot to make the 40k universe understandable to people who are new to it, or go for a small demographic and make it a 40k nerdfest. Not sure I like either.

If they can hit the mark somewhere in between, I'll be extremely impressed. I just don't think it will happen.

I don't know if you've read any of the novels, but having read a few I disagree with that assessment. I'll admit I haven't read any of Abnett's stuff aside from a short-story in the "Dark Millennium" compilation book that was okay (But since he has such a large fanbase for his books I trust him to put out a good script), but I've read some other novels by James Swallow that are pretty damn good, so it's probably a matter of perspectives.

Modern sci-fi movies don't really come close to 40k in terms of scale since Return of the Sith, and the only really strong recent sci-fi story I've seen would the District 9, which isn't even remotely like most contemporary stuff.

I believe they've said they're going for the latter, and frankly I don't mind. Given the ridiculous popularity of Warhammer, they can make a box office profit just on that.

Really doubtful you'd see profit in only the Warhammer demographic tbh. They're either going to have to go cheap on the SFX, which might ruin the experience, or see negative numbers in profit.

But then again, this is all speculation. We'll see. I remain skeptical.

A synopsis of the events preceding the destruction of all heretic forces on Tertius Gamma follows.

And so it was that the planet of Tertius Gamma was besieged by furry abominations committing the hideous blasphemy of wearing sacred power armor as if in service to the God-Emperor; leveling city after city, they advanced on the last bastion of humanity...the capitol city.

Little did anyone know that the incursion had been noticed by one of the greatest Chapters of all Space Marines, whose mighty Battle Barge was even now entering orbit around the planet...the Angry Marines.

Unknown at the time to their "brothers", another Company had set their sights on the grim scene below. "GODDAMMIT, WHY AREN'T WE ON THE GROUND YET?" screamed an armored visage, what little there was left of his face was twisted in unspeakable rage.

"Sir, we can't enter the atmosphere that quickly, we'd burn u-" The voice of the Servitor was cut short as he was crushed beneath the sheer weight of the Marine's armor as he jumped into the pilot terminal.

And soon it was that the Battle Barge, the Litany of Litany's Litany, screamed towards the besieged planet. You could almost hear the sickly sound permeating from the murky planet below.

"Yiff...yiff...yiff...yiff..."

It was maddening, a lesser man would of taken his life but it had no affect on the stalwart Marines of rage. Always angry, especially now.

High above Tertius Gamma the Battle Barge Maximum FUCK sat in a ready position over the city's capital, a terrible quiet hanging over the bridge as the payload of Adeptus Astartes Angry Marines prepared to make planetfall.

Captain Temperus of the 3rd Company watched and waited, his eyes fixed firmly on the screens showing a wave of mutants overrunning the planetary defense force positions. He felt his blood boil as he looked upon the livery adorning their armor, their mockery of everything they stood for. Their faces an abomination. The fact they thought themselves so fucking smart well fuck them.

The comms-servant gave a silent nod, and although it seemed as though he hadn't seen it, Temperus was well aware. It was time...but no deep strike would do this time.

"COCK KNUCKLES!" He bellowed with rage. With the full force of his forehead, Captain Temperus struck the large red button on the console in front of him, destroying it in the process. Great shields on the side of the Battle Barge turned into place over the front of the craft, forming a giant battering ram shaped like a middle finger.

The Maximum FUCK began its nose-first descent into the atmosphere.

The fighting around the capitol city was growing more and more fierce as the furred invaders continued to send more of their number to die beneath the walls of the city; each one attempting to use their bladed weapon to try and chip away at the hardened rockrete. At first the defenders jeered at the pathetic attempt; but as more corpses piled up against the wall, the more cracks began appearing.

"KEEP UP THAT HEAVY BOLTER FIRE!" the Commissar screamed over the din of the gun placements. "BRING UP THE FLAMERS! WE'LL SHOW THESE ABOMINATIONS THE CLEANSING POWER OF THE EMPEROR!" Just then a Servitor scuttled up to the Commissar's side.

"Milord, crafts from offworld are making planetfall. It appears to be the Adeptus Astartes."

"Ah, at last. Now we shall TRULY turn the tide against this filth!" beamed the Commissar.

In revelry and decadence the mutants fought and slaughtered, in their vile mockery of mankind's saviors. The city was almost in range to be taken, there was none alive on Tertius Gamma who could stop them now.

However, all heads were turned skywards with the sounds of a terrible noise, as two Space Marine Battle Barges collided sides-first against one another as they plummeted towards a single target. The mutants realized that target was them.

The Commissar turned his eyes skywards as the enemy fell silent and a great shadow fell across the lands.

"What the f-"

"FUCK YOU, I WAS HERE FIRST!!!" screamed the commander aboard the Litany of Litany's Litany as he attempted to pilot his barge directly into the large army of deviants below.

"NO FUCK YOU, I DEPLOYED THE FINGER!!" Captain Temperus cursed back.

Traitors fled, mutants hid, deviants cried out for their dark gods to save them. As one the two Battle Barges slammed into the enemy lines, and with a terrifying roar the earth itself was torn asunder, and Tertius Gamma was no more.

YOU HEAR THAT VARGIE!?


WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!!!



Angry Marines, onwards!

Anyone played Chaos Rising yet? Is it any good? I'm still in the process of checking my PC specs to see if it will even roll on this midget-powered steam machine, but if it does, I'm very tempted to download it illegallygo to the store and buy it.

I play it, Multiplayer aspect of it ftw was Chaos. Though it's a standalone expansion, meaning ye aint be able to touch the four other races in Multiplayer or Last stand or the original campaign!


But me likey, doubt ye get to multiplayah though if ye pirate load!

Ok, the thread hasn't been dead for even a week but I wanted to use that anyway.

Regardless, I've come to deliver hugs and love to counter the ever so angry Emperor-cult.
