10 Warhammer 40k Stories That Would Make INCREDIBLE Movies
1. The Horus Heresy
The launching point for millenia of galaxy spanning war. The betrayal. The Horus Heresy. There is no greater story in the 40k universe than that of brothers betraying brothers and sons betraying their father. No story deserves more than this to be turned into an entire franchise on the silver screen.
In the midst of their campaign to reclaim the lost Empire of Man that has been scattered across the stars the Emperor of Mankind sets out to reclaim what is his. Finding his lost sons, the Primarchs, along the way; the Emperor folds them into his forces and continues to reclaim more lost worlds. When he realizes he has more important work to do on Terra (depending on your point of view) the Emperor bestows upon his most trusted son, Horus Lupercal, the title of Warmaster and leaves him to command the Crusade.
When Horus is wounded his legionaries, in their desperation, take him to be subjected to a strange xenos ritual. Horus emerges healed physically but changed mentally. Viewing his father's return to Terra as abandonment Horus soon begins plotting and recruiting allies for a strike at his father and Terra. Personal relationship, character development, betrayal, action set pieces, the material is all here for a marvelous movie franchise!
