The tried and true should work. Imperial agents investigate world, uncovers gene stealer conspiracy, throw in some aliens like action, and then kill the Patriarch.

Depending on the budget they can vary that narrative as they please.
 
Here is a couple more good Amazon exclusive shows, Critical role / Lower Decks / The Peripheral / The Expanse / Fleabag / Undone
Both the Expanse and Fleabag are originally not produced by Amazon.

Undone - 6 / 10. Didn’t watch the 2nd season.
The Peripheral - dropped after the 1st episode.

It’s crazy what people call good these days.

Fleabag was a co-production with BBC and we got a couple of seasons more out of the Expanse from Amazon so I count that as a Win.
As for "good", yeah these two aren't as good as the others but they aren't pile of trash and then I guess it's how you use the terms.

So let me clear that up for you, watchable > 4/10, decent > 5/10, good > 6/10, very good > 8/10, great > 9/10, best > 10/10.

I should watch that. If the cgi looks like the Darktide or Space Marine II intros I'll be very impressed. Those intros looked pretty badass, I wouldn't mind the whole show that way. But I imagine that would take a whole lotta time and a whole lotta money.

Please do watch all of it, because it's fucking amazing, but just this bit shows you what they should be like:

Is there a good, dedicated, 40k forum somewhere?
Reddit has r/40klore

It's lore-based so you can really delve deep into it without worrying about people talking about the rules or miniatures.

Plus, they seem pretty mature for the most part. They won't go just downvoting you for whatever reason.

I will miss him as Superman and Geralt. So well done. Hopefully this is good. I'm no fan of Warhammer, but I would watch this because he is in it.

I was thinking of some actors they could use and I think Karl Urban would fit in well. He's got the accent and he's pretty roguish.

Now, since they're obviously going to require diversity, I would say at least get Idris Elba. Again, he has the accent and he's a big guy and he's a pretty good actor.

They could probably cast all of Australia and get most of the things they were looking for in a 40k show. Everything will kill you, everything is gruff.

World is shit, humans are space fascists, everybody else is either xenophobic (Eldars), totalitarian (Tau), batshit insane (chaos). Tyrannids with their never-ending drive to evolve the species look like the most reasonable ones if only their way didn’t involve killing everyone else.

The 40k Lore reddit is what I would suggest.


They are very kind and are usually ready to answer all questions as long as you are respectful and detailed in your posts.
