What's going on with Warhammer tv show? Any news?
I assume every plot point becomes a fight between Henry Cavil and the executives at Amazon.

"What do you mean all of humanity is ruled by a dogmatic religion actively trying to genocide every alien race it comes into contact with AND THEY'RE NOT WRONG!?"

"A servitor is WHAT!?"

"The Slanneshi cultists are the BAD GUYS!?"
 
What's going on with Warhammer tv show? Any news?
Absolutely nothing. This is the latest from their annual financial report in June
On 10 December 2024 we announced the conclusions of our negotiations with Amazon for the adaptation of Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe into films and television series, together with associated merchandising rights. The project continues in line with our contractual agreement with Amazon. This same contract prohibits us from sharing any specific details or commercial terms. We have great partners who continue to display their commitment to present Warhammer authentically and at the scope and scale befitting our fantastical setting. This is a long-term partnership with Amazon and there won’t be any significant news in the short term - these things take several years to bring to market. In the meantime, there was a taster of Warhammer IP in digital form on the small screen with the Warhammer 40,000 episode on Amazon Prime’s animation show Secret Level, a separate initiative to the main contract. The show and in particular our episode was well received.
And the first bit about December we already knew from their half year report in January.

Hope is a fickle mistress.
"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."
Seriously if they're going to continue this shit I want it to be good, I mean fuck I'll take Dawn of War 2-2 at this point so long as it's good. However, given the game industries track record for the past 2 decades one must keep their expectations grounded. And I mean literally on the ground, below it if you must, but make sure your standards are high.
That being said, just given the fact they've apparently switched it back to a more traditional style RTS means unless it's a technical shitshow it'll almost certainly be better than DoW 3, although that's such a fucking low bar to clear it's basically meaningless on it's own.
Given that they got a development team that actually worked on an RTS game before at least shows that they're aware of how hard they dropped the ball with DoW 3 and probably don't have the team who worked on any of the older DoW games, unless this is some retarded trick to get people to believe it's going to be an actual, proper RTS and continuation of the series to try and lull old fans back to buy their shit.
Yeah, probably that to be honest, I've no trust in anyone to be in good faith.
They are pretty autistic with video games, despite not giving a crap about codex or novel lore.
Sometimes, there have been real stinker video games as well as GW cracking down on retarded moments in the lore and codices (either in later editions or just a simple "yeah that never happened" like that particular moment in 5e regarding the SoB and Grey Knights). Too little moments of the latter to be honest.
Space Marine 2 devs said GW needed to be petitioned to get non-primaris helmets in.

Imagine the ton of dlc money they could make with a Mark 8, that is already in game. But GW is autistically screeching ACK NOOO at them.
Didn't know about that, fucking GW and their need to push Primaris models...
Does every Salamander automatically have the pass?
They're wearing volcanic ash face, they're white (multiracial now if we count Sa’khan and technically Gadriel but 99% are still portrayed as light skinned) with genetic black face. The real question is, does the 7ft tall, 1 ton death machine even need permission? If any of them from any chapter were spewing out nigga-bombs like Cyclonic Torpedoes I'd just assume being an Astartes is a pass all to itself.
I do like the Raptors so that's fine by me, can see why people would want something else though. I wonder if they're just going to be shades of green or they'll have camouflage. Would be hilarious if it was the old blue and yellow scheme I heard they used to rock. Will probably look something like this:

The internet and that one tumblr author made me hate the Space Sharks.
The fuck did they do to the Space Sharks? I hear almost nothing about them aside from that one story of them scaring the shit out of the Dark Eldar.

Okay, that is……. progress. This looks to have been designed with that in mind

They just have to let me use this not mkII helmet and the Fist champion’s not mkIII helmet and I’ll shut up for awhile.

EDIT: I lied, the AQUILLA IS A TWITCH DROP?! I gotta watch that degenerate site to earn the fucking birthright of my legion? That tracks.
Nothing says community engagement like putting some random shitters stream on, muted, in a different window for 30 minutes.

It's primarily personal beef with hearing about how cool and extra they are. I know there are worse Chapters out there and Chapters who people love despite their entire existence being "They suck a bigger faction's cock". I just see obvious mutant freak space marines who have super cool old tech and keep getting stuff and are super ass kickers that are so cool. Didn't you hear their super massive ultra wide deluxe XXL Chapter Master in his super shredder Terminator armor is a sneaky gitt?

Being told they are so cool and awesome, by people who didn't know shit for dick about the lore caused my stock in caring about them to go drastically down. This is also knowledge from like almost 10 years ago, so they could have been retconned 10 times over and what I remember is wrong now.
 
Chainsaws are not actually good self defense weapons because modern materials capable of withstanding being a chainsaw striking something are extremely heavy. To be light enough to swing around, you risk the chain breaking apart and swinging back to hit you in the face the moment you strike something.

Also, trying to argue self defense to justify why you killed a home invader is a lot harder when you're covered in their viscera and shouting "Blood for the Blood god!" at the top of your lungs when the police show up.
The teens who are likely to do it always run piss scared, so I just need to let that motor roar.

I also live in a country with very weak self defence laws. But that wont be an issue if everyone is HORUS.
