5 40K TV Show Pitches | Warhammer 40K Discussion

With the Amazon show on the horizon I'd might as well offer up some of my silly, goofy, bad (?) television pitches! I've already seen a ton of awesome ideas for the show, so with this I want to make some pretty unique, never before heard pitches while sticking pretty faithful to the subject's fluff. Part 2 in the 40k Pitch Series
With these discussions I want to engage with the community. Feel free to share your opinions in the comments and keep any discourse civil please. In the end anything discussed in these videos are just my opinions, feel free to disagree.
As always if you have any constructive criticism, advice, or suggestions please share!

The only correct answer is that the 40k show is Herny Cavill in a dark room, next to a open fireplace with a glass of bourbon and does nothing but read the 40k rulebooks and codexes out loud.

[@theinternetpolice2078]

Hear me out for an Ork show: a comedy animated show featuring the orks and their antics. Whenever there are brief scenes from the perspective of other factions, it swaps to the Hammer and Bolter artstyle and gets all serious, but when it's from the Orks' perspective its just generic flash animated adult cartoon and is all silly and goofy, right down to cutaway gags. It justifies having no continuity because at the every episode, the ork warband dies in some ridiculous manner, and then identical orks regrow from their spores. Edit: oh damn, that was almost exactly what you said in the video lmfao

[@KrakDuk]

Lmaooo, I suppose great minds think alike😂 I actually really do like the idea of a silly ork cartoon. I don’t think it’ll ever happen, but it would be pretty fun to see. thanks for watching!

At the shop we have this discussion often. The personal favorite is “Peaky Blinders on Necromunda”. First episode has a kid disappear after performing a hit, he appears in the season finale as an Imperial Fist.

[@KrakDuk]

That would actually be awesome. I honestly think the space marines being used as a on time thing either in a desperate situation, or chaos marines being used in a bad final obstacle would be the way to go. Kinda the jaws approach where less is more. It would really show how scary, awe inspiring, and powerful marines can be. Thanks for watching!

[@alonsogutierrez9500]

@@KrakDuk this way the only time we ever see a space marine is as a kid who already seems destined to be a great gangster becomes something so much more. The marine never acts, just his presence throws off the balance of power.

The Marine doesn’t even recognize him anymore…

It'd be so amazing if they did an anthology series that was just trazyn wandering through his galleries and telling the stories of the warriors and artifacts he acquired. Like it would start with him stopping to check something and introduce you to the chapter, and every single one would end with trazyn stealing someone's stuff or kidnapping them

[@KrakDuk]

That would actually be really cool. I like when anthologies have a little bit of a framing like that. Thanks for watching! Love your idea

Band of brothers but following guardsmen from a backwater regiment slowly getting elite snd becoming their planets version of kasrkin

[@KrakDuk]

That’s a cool idea, my serious idea for the Amazon show would also focus on a smaller group of guardsmen. I think it would make the most sense with a budget in mind, and it would also show how awesome and scary the enemies they face can be. Like imagine a squad that was pretty easily kicking cultist ass for the season then encounters a marine and the power dynamic completely flips. That would be so cool and exciting to watch I feel I like your idea of the guardsmen progressing and getting more adept as the show goes on, that’d also be really cool.

[@damaskusseraph6046]

@@KrakDuk ye. Going from unwilling conscripts of an ork invasion, losing friends until the main group is the okly ones left of their platoon but surviving. And being sent to another fromt. Getting new squad members and losing some until only 2-3 of the originals remain. And getting their hotshot lasguns and carapice.

[@KrakDuk]

Thank you! It’s super wierd, but lately I’ve been seeing a lot of looney tunes and droopy dog stuff so it was fresh in my mind lol. Thanks for watching!

[@paddycake5915]

It could take the perspective swap to an absolute extreme going from looney tunes goofballs getting into a fight and then transition to the commander of the guardsmen where then the cartoon goes straight into something like primal. What was 'witty' ork humor and proud declarations of whos going to kill more humies then instantly cuts to the commander looking over the battlefield as solemn silence other than the sounds of gore violence and obscured cries of pain and waaagh take over the atmosphere and he tries his best to heroically charge and inspire his men to hold the line at all costs. Only for when the battle is over it goes back to the remaining orks and they share high fives and hold up fingers representing how many they killed or literally the fingers of them. A perfectly schizophrenic cartoon.

[@vicentetemes5793]

My main idea for a 40k show will never fuckin be made in a million years because it's a show depicting the last days of the Aeldari empire seen from the POV of Vect, Eldrad, and N'kari.

[@KrakDuk]

That would be pretty cool, I’d love to see that time period. Unfortunately, I agree that it’s super unlikely to happen though. Both because GW neglects the eldar and I feel they’d want to focus on the present time period. That’s why I think an anthology show would be so cool though. I’d love to see an hour long episode of the various eldar character right before the fall and then the climax is them dealing with the apocalypse. Thanks for watching!

[@vicentetemes5793]

@@KrakDuk IMO we shouldn't know much more about the Eldar empire. It's like DAOT humanity : a golden age long forgotten, a time of legends and myths that was much more than wathever we could imagine. Sometimes mysteries should be left unsolved, because wathever answer the writter make could never match the audience expectation after years of fan theories and hypothesis. What could be awesome is a show about politics and power conflicts in Commoragh. It's like House of Cards and Games of Thrones mixed and dialed up to 1000%. That would be a marvelous combinaison of suspense, horribly chocking scenes, hilarious comedy, and badass action.

[@DanteIsLuisIsDante]

Wow, I’m not going to lie, a WH40k anthology series would be amazing. I have my doubts about how well a show can tell a compelling story in 40k, but an anthology series is probably the best bet.

[@KrakDuk]

Ya I totally agree. I think little 1 hour snippets of different aspects of 40k would be really cool. I’m worried the shows just going to show like 3 factions or something. Something like love death and robots would be a pretty cool format to explore the cool, scary, or wackier elements of 40k. I love the varying tones and style of that show if hammer and bolter got a higher budget and more frames that would also be awesome😂. Thanks for watching!

[@corytem1994]

My personal idea for a 40k story (any media) is the story of a Squat/Kyn mercenary band that is hired by a pirate gang, only for most of them to die in the following battle. The last reamining Kyn swears an oath of revenge and joins the pirate crew. They found out that the Pirate Captain was an usurped Rogue Trader, and decides that they will assist the captain in regaining their title, and killing the usurper. The main antagonist would be Usurper's right hand man, who is secretly a plant of the Chaos Navy, trying to secretly obtain the small Rogue Trader fleet. The Usurper is corrupted throughout the story, starting as a loyal subject of the emperor, and by the end is begging to the chaos gods to help kill the pirate captain. As a pirate gang, there are a few more aliens than would be seen in a standard Rogue Trader's crew, allowing for more factions to be seen in the story, although it would mostly be minor ones like Eldar Exodites.

[@KrakDuk]

I really like that idea! Rouge traders are some of my favorite dudes in 40k. I’d also love to see a band of sanctioned Xenos, I’ve always liked that concept. Thanks for watching! I like the idea of

The guard would work far better as an office parody, because you can relate to them

[@KrakDuk]

That’s a good point, I didn’t want to be too much of a guard simp in this one Lol. I do think a custodes or marine show could be funny from just how unrelatable and akward they are by human standards. I think there was a part of a book where a space marine was like shirtless or something. a lady found him hot, and he was just utterly baffled why she was starring at him or something lol. I’m probably getting details wrong or it might be fake, I heard this when I first started 40k. Thanks for watching!

[@kakerlake4468]

Okay I have two ideas Serious one : Make and adaptation of The Infinite and the Divine. Success guaranted. Not so serious : A place was discovered in the galaxy which is a Small city or Huge mansion. In this a group of each faction got teleported inside of it. This place has the power of making so that people can't kill eachothers, therefore creating a sitcom style show with all the factions interracting between them. We then discover it's Tzeentch who is doing this and is forcing those factions to have group activities.

[@Frosty-kz4om]

A 40k show in the style of 2003 Clone Wars is one of the greatest ideas I've ever heard

[@mitchcramp]

Great ideas, I would love to see some slice of life series from the PDF with their day to day dramas whilst a Genestealer cult incursion was creeping up

2:18 you caught me off guard with that art man almost dropped my phone from laughing

[@trinkets1830]

Everyone says an anthology would be best for showcasing the entire 40k universe, and I agree, but hear me out: CSI: Imperium It's just a typical police show with an inquisitor and their warband, except each member is more grimderp than the other

[@KrakDuk]

That would go pretty hard. Them just visiting different planets and dealing with different threats would be cool to see. Bonus points if they have a cool retinue. Thanks for watching!

[@trinkets1830]

yeahhh, I can already picture some ideas for the retinue. A servitor who's still fully intelligent and has to save their mates from danger every episode, but has to act dumb so they don't reprogram them. Some outcast Eldar who's really into helping humanity, but the team has to hide their identity all the time. A retired comissar who's like the dad of the team, extremely religious, yet comically blind to actual heresy both within his team and in the imperium at large. The inquisitor could be kind of a newbie and trained on a backwater planet, so they kinda suck at investigating and constantly forgets to use or mishandles their psychic powers.

[@achimdemus-holzhaeuser1233]

It could also be the Anti-X-Files. The Truth ? We don't want the Truth .. burn it down.

[@user-ck6qb1qz9g]

I would love to see a 40k show detailing the events of the war in heaven. I just think the aesthetic of clashing gods, he fabric of space-time glitching out worlds being casually obliterated would be awesome, as well as giving an opportunity to explore things like the Krorks, the Silent King and maybe even get a second of screentime for my boy Eldanesh. If the Horus heresy can get such a ridiculous quantity of literature, then even one show for the far more significant war in heaven would be the bare minimum I could hope for. Also, Eldar mythology is the single coolest thing in 40k, and getting some of that played out would be incedible.

[@pachacutti1012]

The custodes show could just have one recurring character who's just standing in the same hallway as a guard, and he does nothing but stand there silently the whole show since it's accurate to what most of them do

[@Goblin_deez.]

Crazy, I’ve been playing New Vegas too trying to replicate The Ghoul from the tv series My pitch would be a Bear Grills/Planet Earth documentary, just exploring the Galaxy and talking about animals and peoples It would be funnier if all the info was ripped from Imperial Infantryman’s Uplifting Primer, like how were told that Orks are weaker than humans, Eldars bones can be snapped with a simple bonk of the lasgun and how Tau are descended from bovine, have udders, tails, hollows bones and are scared of thunder

[@KrakDuk]

Lmaooo the show got you too then😂 I’ve been trying to get into new Vegas for the longest time, but I’d never stick with it until I watched the show. That’s actually a really cool idea. A documentary style thing would be a cool way to learn about the various species. I’d really enjoy it both ways, funny propaganda or actual lore stuff. Thanks for watching! I love that idea

[@joshstack34]

An interesting thing that could happen with an anthology series is showing the same events from different perspectives, Rashomon-style. Like a Tau episode that portrays them as the unambiguous good guys, only for an episode about the faction fighting the Tau to show their less savory qualities.

[@jeremy1860]

An anthology show sounds like a great idea, and I know from experience that it works well as a frame for sci-fi shows. Disney's tenure over Star Wars has been questionable, but one of their greatest triumphs with it was their Visions animated series. A string of short stories focusing on different original characters in different settings with each one having wildly varied tones. Sometimes you'd have an action romp, sometimes it'd be comedic. I think that sort of thing would work wonders for 40K too 😊

[@KrakDuk]

Oh yeah I loved visions. I’d even be happy with a 40K anthology that had some non canon episodes like visions did. I definitely don’t want 40K to fall into the multiverse stuff a lot of franchises are doing, but occasional non canon side projects can be fun to see.

[@Sonof_DRN2004]

I do agree that they should do an Anthology show, but I think they should do it in 3 episodes story arcs. 12 episodes a season. First story arc should be about Guilliman waking up to the universe of 40K, both he and the audience is new to 40K, do the whole fish out of water thing. It can be used to show the degradation and bureaucracy and inequality of the imperium. It can introduce the astartes as ultramines, but not as fighting warriors initially. I feel like the first time the Audience should see the brutality of astartes waging war would be with the introduction of the iron warriors.

[@user-do7vq3kk3x]

I’ve got a really niche idea: A show that follows a group of leagues of votann hernkin pioneers, who embark on a voyage across the Milky Way. It would be really cool because dwarves are neutral, and we can have an episode of them talking with an imperial officials/rouge traders, working as mercenaries for them. In the other episode they are attacked by chaos warband, and we have an action episode, because it’s hard to do diplomacy with chaos (most of the time). This way we can give lore to the faction having next to no lore(but a REALLY good foundation), and it allows directors to properly show most of the factions/characters(if they have a cameo). Cause if we make a show about a loyalist marine,he will be a HERO , and the chaos ones will be remedially given a “Terminal villain syndrome”, and the other way around. Meanwhile dwarves are neutral, and have no bias towards anyone (except tyranids, but they are the faction, that isn’t sympathizing by design

[@Isslel4268]

Not my original idea but still a good one. It centers around a rouge trader or inquisitor who is just starting out and is oblivious to the true horrors of the galaxy and the show can be about them building up their retinue and discovering the true horrors of the 42 millennium. Maybe there could be an episode where the main character does their first exterminatus (I’m pretty sure rouge traders can do exterminatuses) and the mental anguish that comes from that.

[@AquaFan1998]

My show idea would be: It woud be about an imperial guardswoman is captured by the Tau and held in a compound where she has to survive horrible conditions and harsh introgation. Torn between what she was raised believing and the torture shes put though and when she breaks they show her kindness and try to push her towards learning about the greater good. I could see 7 to 10 episodes. The end result would be her living on a tau world and actually being happy in the end, becoming a fire warrior Gue'vesa. If the show was to be longer maybe show her in service and adjusting to life under the tau proper, fighting the imperium and seeing what they are realy like from the tau side, to see what the side she throught was the right fron the other end of their lasguns (Kinda inspired by brody from homeland but you know actually focused on the imprisonment and that happened)

[@KrakDuk]

That would be cool. I think an exploration of the imperial indoctrination as well as a look into the tau society and their own forms of indoctrination would be fascinating. A more personal story like that would also be cool to see, ik a lot of people want a big wide sweeping stories from 40K. Thanks for watching, I really like your idea!

[@neocuzwhynot7219]

A L I E N : HELL ON HADLEYS HOPE Basically a movie were it's is seen in the Xenomorph perspective and tyranids invade their colony wave after wave slowly wiping out the xenomorphs until at the end we see a screen that says "confirm exterminatus?" and a adeptus mechanicus hand presses the confirm button and it pans to a screen of LV 426 getting obliterated by the laser and then the credits roll

[@sirmultiverse5896]

Okay, hear me out, so this show is a pseudo horror show about the tyranids episode. One is about some random imperial planet we, where we focus on some guardsmen, and it's all pretty chill until uh oh the tyranids have arrived the show basically tyranids show up and different factions trying basically not die and we a guardsmen who keeps escaping but the tyranids keep following him so different episode follow the same formula guardsman arrives and trying to warn people about the tyranids.

Horus kardashan is something I will never remove from my mind, thank you.

[@KrakDuk]

Lmao I’m happy to pollute your mind🙏

[@petercolson2990]

Tangent, but I desperately want Vermintide turned into an animated series. It's halfway there already. The characters are goddamned iconic, the voice actors are still working with FatShark, the plotline already exists and the dialogue is already established. It would be simplicity itself to make. I'd sell me own grandmother for this to get made. Well, I'd sell *your* grandmother...

[@starexpander8759]

All of them are bangers

[@KrakDuk]

Thank you!🙏

[@grandadmiral8173]

OK hear me out; a animated show that's basically lupin the 3rd but on Necromunda, doing various heists meeting all the gangs getting chased by the Arbites. It'd be great

[@itsprofessorcreeper2839]

The ork one sounds actually good

[@KrakDuk]

Thanks! lol. It’d definitely be silly, but I think goofy non canon type things can be fun to see

[@LifeofSquidMann]

>"40k anthology" So, Hammer and Bolter but maybe good? >"In the style of Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars" Dude. Sign me tf up.

[@LifeofSquidMann]

That said I honestly liked the Tzeentch and Yarrick eps of H&B

[@KrakDuk]

Ya I think hammer and bolter is a really good concept, I was just personally a bit disappointed with the animation. Some parts felt like animatics. I really love 2d animation, seems like they prioritized the 3d series for WH+. Thanks for watching!

[@BeefyGreek]

Hear me out: An Anthology of guardsmen stories and every episode ends when they die, so some are a few hours some are minutes

[@KrakDuk]

That would be super cool! Reminds me of the opening of battlefield 1. It was short but really cool and impactful to play. Thanks for watching, love the idea!

[@spin6872]

Me personally I want a show about the chaos marines daily life. Chaos is kinda the big bad of the story now alongside the editions second main bad guy, but we know some chaos marines are actually pretty chill so long as you get the job done. So I’d wanna see what that’s like

[@kubastachowiak1089]

The Primarch reality show would be great if it was done like that series of adds for shadow of mordor and shadow of war! Just mandein setting and this HUGE DUDE IN FULL ARMOR XD idk drinking coffee at Starbucks or playing football if they are Russ

[@KrakDuk]

lol that would be funny. We all know Russ would be downing a cold one tho, Fulgrim and sanguinius seem more at home with Starbucks 🤣 thanks for watching!

[@scritoph3368]

I feel like 1episode of the hypothetical 40k anthology show should definitely cover part of the Heresy. It’s too iconic not to bring up. Maybe how Horus is initially corrupted to chaos?

[@deathsheep]

Honestly, i would love an adapatation of Dan Abnett's Titanicus.

[@Witch_with_a_tommygun]

Hell yeah mate

[@KrakDuk]

Hope you enjoyed the episode😎

[@franciscomoutinho4390]

the last idea is fucking phenomenal

[@KrakDuk]

Thank you very much! I hope the Amazon series is a bit similar, or at least has a good number of factions appearing

[@ashrussell5682]

Get Gennedy Tartokovski to do a full Hours Heresy marathon at the animation of equivalent of 1.5x speed. I'd give a kidney for that.

[@KrakDuk]

That would be so cool to see. He does extremely stylized violence super well, I’d love to see what he could do with 40K. Thanks for watching!

[@evanownerofthefriends2495]

I don’t know if anyone’s said this yet but imagine this: an adventure time style show following someone or a duo from any one of the chaos factions. But it’s not something like a death guard or a berserker, but just some dumb nurgling trying to become a great unclean one

[@KrakDuk]

That would be pretty funny lol. Maybe even have some like rozencrantz and guildenstern elements where they kinda bumble around and both help and hurt chaos lmao. Thanks for watching!

[@XenoTechnian]

“Im going to use þis funny þing called a hydrogen bomb” oh hi Kesh

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

5:36 missed opportunity to call it a "Telemon-vision series"

[@KrakDuk]

Wait that’s so true damn

[@ChrisKCook]

That last one is literally Hammer & Bolter

[@jesseogden9596]

This is madness

[@Magavynhigara]

Only problem with 40K live action and even done like Castlevania is they will have to clip the wings of how dark the chaos and drukhari, wich means they will show a watered down version of nurgle, half ass version of khorne, a decent version of Tzeench, and slaneesh and drukhari will only be mentioned in passing. If and IF they gonna go this route then i think Necromunda would be a decent showing or some of Caines events would be fun with possibly the 2nd and 3rd war for Armageddon and/or maybe the badab war. If they went full tilt with it then i think Gaunts ghosts or smaller stories like war of apostasy, Eisenhorn, etc.

[@KrakDuk]

Ya, I do think some shows pulled off daemonic energies and stuff like that pretty well. But those were more lowkey, like a strange aura vs all out assault. My actual ideal show if they had to focus on one faction and stick to a budget would focus on a squad of guardsmen. They deal with a chaos cult or traitor guard, and like episode 8 a space marine shows up and completely wreaks them. It would be such a cool moment to see the might of even a single space marine and how scary that could be. I think something like that could work with the necromunda idea you said. Gaunts ghosts would also be pretty cool. Thanks for watching!

[@buildomatic]

Imagine the fall of cadia from a view of a guard section, like a few episodes dedicated to it.

[@KrakDuk]

That would be super cool to see. Plus a ton of different factions joined in on the fight so a lot of fans would be happy even though it’s a imperium and chaos centric event. Thanks for watching!

[@maxmustermann-zx9yq]

Battlefleet gothic armada 2 opening cutscene show that

[@kingjonstarkgeryan8573]

The Lion complaing about not being the favorite is hilarious considering how much DAOT he has.

[@siteshnarayangautam2780]

An Anime focusing on everything from Emperor's Perspetive, almost showing WarHammer Universe for what it is, and then the focus shifting from Emperor to all the Primarchs to Guilliman, Dorn with different incidents all getting there arcs just like in anime, it will be 1000ep long for sure Lotaro Sarrin Movie A Custodes going to save a girl who use to bring him flowers everyday until she became a guardsman, and was reported MIA, when the Custodes has a change of heart, hands his duty to a friend custodes, in quest to find her and fighting some Malem Cado level enemies from every faction and every imperial faction helping him too. A funny Guilliman show, which is serious enough yet funny enough, to inspire different skills in people, making Guilliman a sort of Optimus Prime-ish character Caiphas Cain Show Yarrick Movie series(RDJ might be good for it) Orcs cartoon Then there can be different movies/shows for different characters Primarchs cartoon where they are interacting with the emperor in funny way

[@siteshnarayangautam2780]

O btw we need a separate show for Guardsmen in different situtations, like from fighting other humans to standing right in front of Demon Angron himself..... also a Lamentars show to really show the worst in Warhammer

[@ArminaticsVoiceArtist]

They should animate a show about Oltyx and his life now as the bone king and maybe give him ptsd flashbacks to the war in heaven and to the twice dead king books. Showing his regrets and maybe an obscured set of scenes in his organic life but blurry and distorted. So that GW doesnt have to show the necrontyr.

[@KrakDuk]

That would be cool, I think necrons are super fascinating. I love the sense of longing and regret from most of them. I doubt it would happen, but it’d be really cool if the show prominently focused on a Xenos faction. Thanks for watching!

[@lokikinch]

Not a show but a 40k version of Fury with Guardsmen in a Leman russ fighting T'au or traitor guard would be pretty cool

[@kieranadamson3224]

KNIGHT! Give me a real show starring Imperial Knights that actually gets how Knights fight correctly. The political intrigue between even the members of a single Household would be incredible.

[@KrakDuk]

Yes! I’d love to see a knight show. I feel the imperial knights are super cool, but often relegated to background or a cool set piece. I feel most people don’t even realize knights have a personality past being a big robot. Thanks for watching! GOT but they’re all ginormous knights would be funny as well🤣

[@kieranadamson3224]

@@KrakDuk of course, Broken Lance was kind of a disappointment overall to me but it did have some pretty good qualities within it. I mean hey! SPOILERS A Knight World which had already given itself over to Nurgle via a bargain during the initial colonisation was a REALLY cool idea. Not to mention, if they bothered to actually do more than just Space Marine games I think Knights would be the best candidate for a video game due to how relatively versatile they are. With just one sub-faction GW has something that could potentially rival the entirety of Battletech when it comes to Mechs games.

[@KrakDuk]

@@kieranadamson3224 ooh that would be really cool. I’d love to pilot around a giant knight and fight heretics and Xenos. I feel the knights are pretty underrated for being a faction of giant mechas.

[@kieranadamson3224]

@@KrakDuk yeah, I think a big part of it is GW simply being complacent. They probably already know how much Knight fans would love any real attention at all but they know they'll already rake in cash with Minis and the occasional book on a Primarch coming back. So they don't even bother.

[@TheLordofMetroids]

Here me out, my Ideal 40k tv show would be... Yu-Gi-Oh. Like a real world show where people paint minis, and then when you put them on the table for a maych they become animated characters who actually fight and kill each other. Then somehow through the magic of dice rolling and tabletop games the main character saves the world from the actual Chaos Gods or something.

[@Plethoria074]

A guilliman show would just be The Office with 5 tech priests trying to operate excel.

[@RoyGuerrero1904]

Here my idea for a warhammer 40k show First idea it like heavy metal movie and love death and robots show combine into a show where we have metal and rock music during fight scenes and it will be epic and great story telling and dialogue and petty metal.

[@KrakDuk]

Yes, that would be absolutely awesome. I think an anthology show is really the way to go. I liked what hammer and bolter was going for, but it was honestly too limited by budget I feel. Love death and robots would be a really good format to explore the various aspects of 40k. I loved how in LDR they had different tones and styles, that allow them to show the grim, action packed, or goofy aspects of 40k pretty well. If it had the style of the Heavy Metal movie, that’s just be bonus points. I love old animation like that. Thanks for watching!

[@ono1381]

IMO Ciaphas Cain needs a show. Gaunt needs a show. They also need to voice match the Audiobook VAs as best they can. I also need a custodes office, especially now ladies custodes are a thing.

[@potam750]

I want a blood game series that goes on for like 12 years about a banana boy just hiding in a closet No talking Minimal noises from outside Just a dark closet with someone in it

[@NinjaLeekspin]

Totally thought you were going to say the Ork show was going to be a Jersey Shore knockoff.

[@alexross1816]

The Office style would probably work for the Administratum

[@potam750]

If the big taxes boy punch someone for real his face doesn't explode It changes into a red mist Also his torso And for some reason the building behind him is now collapsing but I'm sure it's not related

[@CatYah00]

Did you know that 40k already has an anthology. its Hammer and bolter, look it up

[@KrakDuk]

Ya, I know about that one. It’s alright but I wish it had a higher budget. If it was either live action or had really nice animation it would be wonderful. Thanks for watching!
