[QUOTE="Scribe, post: 9539136, member: 6807152"] I certainly dont want to get into this too deeply, but if you follow the setting from RT, through 3rd to 7th (and beyond) you are calling out what is essentially the formative period of the current and now established view of what 40K [I]is[/I]. Was it a hard parody/satire with a lot of punkish/joking art, writing and presentation in the early years of RT? Absolutely. Is that really the 40K of today? Outside of Orks, and some of the better writers for Black Library? No, not really. Its the grimdark trope maker. Its the Horus Heresy. Its an art style and tone that absolutely had a reset in 3rd, that carried on for over a quarter of a century. If one was to take a review of. The rule books, codex books, white dwarf, Black Library novels, Horus Heresy series, the Forge World Black Books, from 3rd, to today? There is a very very consistent portrayal, and I am sure you are aware of the explosion of growth that was going on the last 10 years especially since 8th and Covid. Easter eggs of the old take on the setting may exist, but what you are calling out (3rd to 7th) + HH, is the foundation of 40K to the vast vast majority of its fans. --- As to what Amazon/Cavill should do? Its this series. [URL unfurl="true"]https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Vaults_of_Terra[/URL] Otherwise, I pretty much dread having the wider culture look to hard at 40K, I dont want to see what it gets twisted into.
