The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

mores the point, its a no brainer.

They can throw millions at it, do whatever they like - lego spacemarines, with blue skin, all can be clones of Cavill, maybe buy some second hand plastic storm trooper stuff off disney, paint it blue too and all commanded by Tom Cruise, Primarch/emporer or whatever and all sorts of things, everything is possible.

No worries, no one can complain its not cannon, GW change that every year, and scale creep, well yeah.. that's cannon isn't it?

No need to ever look at any of the existing stories books etc, not really.

They can take all the footage they shoot for the first series/move and re-edit it every year and release it again for each new season/movie with a couple extra bits and new intro/packaging. So film once, release forever.

Betting the 3rd edition will likely be one of the most popular versions.

sounds great!

Wonder who they will give it to, to create script etc?

[modelwarrior]

No idea about the script,but I would like to Eisenhorn as an introduction. It would be a nice way to unravel the Warhammer universe.

A “there are no good guys as per official GW” Grimdark 40k Movie that brings the satirical “there is only war” British IP to mainstream international audiences…. What could possibly go wrong?

Much as I like Cavill I can not see this project ending up as anything other than like the World of Warcraft movie… or perhaps the Mutant Chronicles movie.

[Tactalvanic]

nothing can go wrong, 'tis nothing but a positive, just think of all the tie-in plastic/fail/resin/casts etc they will be able to shift!

Everything will become 1 per box collectible edition multipart kits for the movie/TV market.

via amazon.

get your warhammer delivered by prime drone same day etc etc.

They can do a shop merge - Warhammazon collection points!

They can change the warehouse robots into servitors.

stick skulls and things on them.

This is from 11 months ago but worth watching for this discussion…. Cavill talking about 40k.

I'm nearly at the end of my Bob Ross picture a day calender, and I don't remember seeing that one

So you're saying you didn't open your LAF GW Advent Calendar?

Opinion seems divided about the fact that the new imperial guard tank doesn't have a floor - Rather the bottom is open to the elements. Seems the bottoms of the tracks are scalloped as well.

[Daeothar]

That's a weird choice... 

To me, this appears to compromise the structural integrity of the model, but coupled with the hollow tracks, this is most likely a cost saving move.

I can't escape the image of a Flinstones tank now

In-universe, it would also explain their vulnerability to mines...
