Warhammer 40K movie for fans of the IP. The story is by Dan Abnett, my favorite Warhammer author.

It looks like the only way to get this is to buy the $40 collectors edition? Boo...

Nope - had to do a quick search to find out what it was. I, sadly, don't have a gaming group where I live so have to do the majority of my gaming on the computer. A bunch of old college buddies gather at my house about once a quarter or so for a weekend of gaming but we primarily stick to RPG's.

I'll have to take a look at the BFG stuff over the weekend where game sites aren't blocked - what little I can see from work this morning looks interesting. If nothing else, the ships could be cool to have. One of the RPG's we play is a WH40K inspired space opera using Hero System rules. It could be neat to have ships to move around and play with when we have space combat.

Right now my group is scattered, one of us got out of the Navy, im in Bahrain, two of my guys are in norfolk. Its fun as a mofo, loved assembling the ships, building up fleet lists, had even more fun destroying people with my Nurgle fleet. I have a 3k Chaos fleet, 2k Imperial, and around 750 points for the other fleets.

Anyways im looking forward to this movie (not a fan of the smurfs though). Hope they do more.....like Guant's Ghosts or the Heresy.

Ahh, the Ghosts - that whole series of books is awesome.

And the Eisenhorn books - now there is a story of corruption that is worth reading. That is the kind of slippery slope, every step taken for the best of intentions story that I was hoping for from George Lucas in Star Wars and was also hoping for in the Horus Heresy series of books.

Got my copy of the movie on Friday and watched it over the weekend. I'm not sure how well a person who is not a fan of 40K will like the movie but I quite enjoyed it. It had a slow start but I didn't really mind because I was getting to see 40K. And then when the action finally got rolling... BURN HERETIC!

It was a fun watch.

I watched it, they should have brought in some outsiders to assist with the writing (assist!). I liked it but it could have been allot better. They could have had a better script writer on it. For a squad of the ultimate warriors they seemed like a National Guard unit getting lost in the woods.

I do hope they make more but i hope they learn from this one and either go full bore with the mythos (and not worry about outsiders) or shake up the writing a bit more so non fan boys will find the 40k movies interesting.
