https://www.warhammer-community.com...r-rogue-inquisitor-tv-stargw-homepage-post-2/ It's being done by Big Light Productions and being run by the guy who did The Man in The High Castle for Amazon. It was only recently announced, so there isn't much info out as of yet. Games Workshop/ Warhammer 40k has been getting more and more popular recently, I guess this was inevitable. I just hope we get to see the full, crushing brutality of the Imperium. It's an incredibly dark and brutal universe, and I don't know if it will work for a mass audience. I run Dark Heresy and my stories got a lot better when I learned the secret to writing 40k, take the most brutal dystopian science fiction I've ever seen, and parody it to 11.
Eisenhorn's probably a good choice, seeing as his novels were popular (and, unlike Gaunt's Ghosts or the Caiphias Cain books, not thinly veiled ports of other material - Sharpe or Flashman, respectively). He's a psyker, so we get the Warp explained along with why unsanctioned psykers are bad news. If they are targeting more than just WH40k fans though, they'll have a hella time explaining the backstory of the setting, especially why humanity has a galaxy-spanning civilisation but folk go round praying to the spirits inside their machines.
my machines sometimes surprise me with good things. Long before there was AI my car did save me from being caught up in a firebombing on my way to a Billy Joel concert in MSG. Had it not broken down when it did I would have been on the train that got stopped and at least missed the concert. I have had many other times where mysterious things happen due to computer or car shit.
That's just random shit though. As students, we once delayed starting a road trip to eat lime jelly (Jell-O to the uppity colonials) and thus weren't right in the area where there was a 15-car pileup. We developed a ritual of eating lime jelly prior to any trip, but logically I know it's just because my mate Dave fucking loved lime jelly and not because of any mystic power it might possess.
Same car, a bit later. I decide randomly on a thursday night to drive two hours to foxwoods casino. This is before GPS and I have been to the casino once during the daytime. There are no signs for the casino at the exit you have to get off at, and I have a general idea it is just at the border of RI and CT, but I do not know which exit it is. I lose track of time and gas while grooving to tunes on the radio and the car starts sputtering out of gas right as I am passing an exit. I drive off, coast to the pumps and recognize the station as the one I filled up at the first time I went to Foxwoods. I hit the biggest slot jackpot I have ever hit that night which was a good month's pay at the time. So I ended up being able to take off from work the next day without trouble. Had I missed the exit I would have been trying to figure out which way to walk without really knowing where the last exit was. Maybe it was the car, maybe it was the force, but weird luck seems to follow me in my cars.
