What about "Mortal engines" the Shrike character is totally a necron, especially with how it craves sentience, misses its skin, and how hard it is to take down.

To be "historically" accurate, in the "Starship Troopers" novel (1959), R.A. Heinlein *CREATED* the concept of "Power Armor" and its related warfare tactics. WH40K Space Marines & Tyranids are nothing more that a derivative byproduct of the original R.A.H. work.

Angel's Egg also got remixed into animated segments in a weird Australian post apoc film called In the Aftermath

What was the anime you clipped during the intro? I have watched LOTS, but don't recognise it?

Thank you. I knew there was a mixed live action version but couldn't remember it.

Sure bud

Oops all Warp Horrors!!

🤣🤣🤣

Warhammer 40k also took ideas from Azimov’s books: the main example is the Martian “priesthood”. On the planet Mars, among other things, there is also the “headquarters” of the “Martian Cult of the Machine”. Their story is this. After the Dark Age of Technology ended due to the war against AI ("borrowed from Dune") and the birth of Slaanesh, they didn't have a particularly good time on Mars. Since wars and other “troubles” began, what was built on Mars was destroyed. In general, apple trees no longer bloomed on Mars. People were forced to move to “sub-Martian shelters”, where they survived. There they began to worship technology. The legend is beautiful, isn't it? At the time of the Great Crusade and other events, the Martians are responsible for the "technical part" of the Imperium. They repair equipment, make equipment, and so on. And all this is accompanied by rituals, prayers and the like. Doesn't this remind you of anything? Well, and if we talk about the very idea of ​​the “completion” of the Dark Age of Technology and the onset of the Age of Strife... Didn’t this also come from the “Foundation”? There was truly a great time when people were like gods in everything. They sailed ships across the entire Galaxy, they created Dyson Spheres and changed planets to suit their needs. So, and then, after the AI decided to rebel, after the war died down and so on - the Human Empire began to fall apart. And it completely fell apart - until someone we know as the Master of Humanity started the “Unification Wars”

That's great honey, but that's now what this video is about.

@@batti591 I know, honey, but thanks for your concern.

There is ONE Moorcock movie, but not with Elric: The Final Programme with Jerry Cornelius. It's great. Not very Warhammer but I have one of the old GW Jerry Cornelius figures, which I painted up as Negative Jerry, he always hangs out somewhere on the battlefield... of either AoS or 40k, very adaptable fig :D

Terminus Est, the Death Guard flagship is the name of the Executioner’s sword in Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. The main character in that is called Severian… combine that with the author’s surname and that’s where Severian the Lunar Wolf, original member of the Grey Knights’s name comes from.

100%. The necromongers feel very 40k, even though I can't think of a direct equivalent atm. Might be an idea for my next kitbash project!

Was going to post this since the Necromongers really feel very like a 40K chaos subfaction, and Riddick ends up on horrifying death worlds twice. You can also imagine Riddick as a rogue assassin if you like! If anyone is going to try these I would start with Pitch Black though, it may be a bit easier to get into.

And if you are going to watch Riddick, make it the director's cut. It's only a few minutes longer but fills so many plot holes

@@thinksShallow Agreed The Riddick movies should be watched in order & the Necromonger's have a very strong Death God/Chaos Cult vibe about them.

Karl Urban again...

Great shout, an underrated classic!

Whaaat? I love that film but know nothing about necromunda

Dark City is a masterpiece, and was one of Roger Ebert's favorites.

Very cool fillum for sure, not as well known as it deserves. I think it sort of got overshadowed by The Matrix. I'll give you that the new Delaque gangers look EXACTLY like the villains of the piece, the original Delaques were much more mundane - just angry teens in trenchcoats (thanks for ruining that fashion America)

Lordy, I love Dark City. Despite having a few scenes, Ms. Connelly was the cherry-on-top in that film.

OK.... It's one of John Carpenters worst films... BUT It's my guiltiest of pleasures... And the reason I came to comment! This is the best representation of Chaos Cultists you'll get... From brutality, makeshift weapons, corruption, to general mischief... Watch it was Khorne filtered glasses and it's genuinely a great popcorn movie.... Plus it stars Jason Stathan so every cool Dad knows its going to be good... 😅

Saw it in Eau Claire when it came out and got a coupon at the theater for a free beer at North Woods. That was a great night.

Check out the recent Season of The Witch and the adaptation of Solomon Kane! Both were 100% 80s Sword & Sorcery vibes!

Flesh+Blood

Arnie Conan films

tbh that just sounds like an original lovecraft

One problem: first edition Warhammer 40000 came out an entire year before.

it gives lovecraft and also Sanguine from TES vibes

@internationalmanofmystery8511 I dont think the DE were a 1e faction.

Think you have it backwards, GW stole a lot of ideas from Hellraiser.

Jabberwocky! That is a fantastic movie

Without 2000AD*

@@bronzewand Most of the 2000ad stories had that dark 40K vibe(not so much now). Rogue Trooper, Strontium Dogs, ABC Warriors...the list is endless.

B--b-buh... the guardsman would just ... die, surely? I'm actually going to have a look at Outlander now with this in mind (girlfriend recommending it for years)

Well Warhammer did take inspiration from the Dredd comics

Unfortunately the marketing for this film sucked. Most people didn't realise it was being made until after it was released. Urban even mentions that his friends only knew about it because he told them.

I loved this film and Urban was the only actor to stay true to Dredd's core, he never removed the helm.

If you're familiar with the 2000AD comics, then you know that answer already :)

​@@FlecchicutletsAt the start of the film Dredd is not wearing his helmet, but we never see his face.

Came here to say exactly the same thing! 🤣

One of my favourite details about that film is that Sam Neil’s character has an Australian flag with the Aboriginal flag in place of the Union Jack. Neil said it was what he thought the flag should look like in 2047

Rumors of an extended scene of... That, have recently surfaced. Some say they couldn't salvage it, so it's not possible for the fans to get a Director's Cut, or some-thing. Personally, I'm fine with it.

@@vee-bee-a Its a lie, there is no extended anything, the producer and director has even had to go public and explain that.

@@madselmvig1457 I'm fine with that.

@@madselmvig1457 Right, it was over a decade ago that P WS Anderson mentioned that the footage they shot was lost or destroyed somehow, was it a fire? I can't remember exactly. But I do recall him stating there would never be an extended cut.

One of the only movies I watched in the theater twice! So much fun! I wish that director would have gotten more work, but sadly his Silent Hill adaptation flopped and kind of killed his career overseas.

And French, don't forget that they squeezed France into it with a little Lovecraft on top.

Hold on, I really don't see how that movie relates to Bretonnia, beyond the fact that the setting is france and that Bretonnia is french inspired. But Bretonnia is a take on arthurian legends, while Brotherhood Of The Wolf takes place around 1760. If you want something aesthetically inspired by that movie, go see Bloodborne instead.

@@tartoflan I said Oldhammer Bretonnia. As in before the 5th ed WFB retcon. Back when it was still based on pre-revolutionary france, and ruled by King Charles de la Tete d'Or III.

One ofmmy favorite films!

No waaay that's EXTREMELY cool!?

@@roguehobbies Yup. I was on the team that made the Judge Hunter suits and I worked on all of Stallone's gloves. We made the spacesuits for Event Horizon and had to be on set to get the helmets off between takes. In JD I was there when Stallone did the "I am the law" line. In EH I was behind the spaceship doors when they first got to the ship and I was in the creepy engine room when the youngest member of the team (played by Jack Noseworthy) was poking the black hole (if you'll pardon the expression)

​@@pumellhorne Always wondered what was the reason the Eagle was missing from the left shoulder on some of the Judges..? The movie deserved a lot more praise than it got. I did sort of rip off the ABC Warrior a little building a 7ft "Bouncer" for a night club. The Angel gang were pretty spot on and very well acted. I have to say the closest t anyone has got to Judge Dredd is Judge Minty and there Dredd was pretty good. Let's hope Rebellion gets it's act together and it delivers... Karl Urban is up for it.

Thank you for your Amazing Work! Job well done!

@@thebritishengineer8027 There was supposed to be a TV series based on rookie Judges called Judge Dredd: Mega City One. Deal was done, everything was set up, ready to film a pilot episode in early 2020... Covid totally derailed it.

And the movie version, was a heavy influence on the look of the Cadians, with the first Cadian Shock Trooper models releasing the same year Starship Troopers the movie did

The planets are plunged into darkness, His coming is the death of all things. And in the hour of judgment we can't escape, # There's no point in running, you better pray A single mind cloaked in chitin, Comes from the distant depths of the universe. Claws and teeth stronger than steel, The veil of death has covered the cosmos. The immortal swarm will spread its tentacles, And the skies will darken over the desolate earth. The invaders will come from the heavens and they'll be outnumbered, The slaughter will begin where the war ends. The mind is one! The body is chitin! The life will be swallowed up by the swarm. What was home will be empty. Nothing is heard but the howling of tyranids You and I have not long to live. Great Eater! The death of planets is inevitable! Unquenchable Eternal Hunger! There is no escape for the living! Merciless Aggregate Intelligence! Devouring us! Once again, the Warp Shadow will fall! A new world will fall!

Also the feeling of the spaceships themselves as these grand art pieces (like the docking port opening being a literal painting frame) meshes with the spaceship design of WH40K

Or going further back, GW's game 'Dark Future' which was a total mad max ripoff!

Magnetic Rose, the first story from Memories, is written by Satoshi Kon, director of Perfect Blue, Paprika and more, directed by Kōji Morimoto, animator on Akira and co-founder of Studio 4°C with music by Yoko Kano, composer for Cowboy Bebop. One of the most unique and talented teams for any anime.

Cannon Fodder is such a rad short! I liked all three, but that one really blew me away (pun intended).

...And has background art by Ian Miller, who also worked for GM back in the 1980s. (His work was also featured in Ratspike, alongside John Blanche's!)

Termight bless you for nringing this up i have nbeen telling people for years how huge nits of 40k are lifted strakght from nemesis they even have titans and and view tech as magic etc, i have ne pure be vigilant behave tattoo along with termight symnol so am masskve fan and wish it got the recognition

"A fascist galactic empire", I swear, people have no clue what "fascist" means and just throw it around whenever they see a dictatorship or a cruel regime. If anything, the Imperium is not fascist whatsoever.

From seeing interviews with Andy Chambers, he is a massive 2000AD fan and is open in saying he was inspired by it a lot for his 40K work.

A number of 2000AD artists provided art for Rogue Trader too so no real surprise there is cross-pollination

Be pure! Be vigilant! Behave!

Would love to see it but it's been 11 years and it doesn't look likely to happen. Unfortunately.

I believe there is one in the works.

​@@stiftarcory4364yeah they've been saying it's "in the works" for 11 years

I love Pandorum! If defo should have been at least an honourable mention!

Nah, Pandorum kinda fits more with the Star Trek lore, about how gene therapy makes monsters and needs to be banned lol.

Just watched this for the first time a few weeks ago. It was so good!

@@mxviii The feeling you get while watching it before learning the backstory, is 100% Space Hulk vibes to me.

watch infini next :)

Cavill has been in the works for a 40k series or movie, it's still very early in the talks. But it's in the talks stage atm.

@@spencers4121 Contracts between GW and Amazon have been signed.

There's some very Guard looking Guardsmen in Total Recall. For Guardsmen around that time.

Black Death with Sean Bean is probably the most Warhammer movie I've seen, although Burton's Sleepy Hollow and French Company of Wolves also feel a lot like Warhammer, despite the time period not really matching that well.

Chronicles of Riddick is even more 40k than Pitch Black.

Back in early 3rd edition they had a massive Ork's Drift diorama and battle report in White Dwarf. That was my inspiration to start Orks as my second army. Lots of kit bashed vehicles and Gorkamorka-style Orks. Far less colourful than 2nd edition Orks, and more about a roving horde with Mad Max inspiration.

Orks Drift was the 1st WH game I ever played. Got me hooked. Most of my Wh games continued to be card stock (homemade). All we ever owned was a few figures.

@@trancedarkdust90 I mostly play board games nowadays, they tend to be card stock counters. Works for me.

Yep. Zulu. It's in Rogue Trader as the battle at the farm, and shows up as the "meat grinder" mission.

Indeed power armor comes from starship troopers

@@royalecrafts6252 Heinlein's Lensman books came out before the Starship Troopers books but even Heinlein himself said he got the idea from an 1920s sci-fi magazine.

@@Thurgosh_OG interesting good to know

The 2012 Dread movie is the one I would most likely watch at least once every year. It wasn't a flop - it actually made a profit. It just wasn't enough of a profit for the studio to put any money and effort into either a sequel or a Judge Anderson spinoff.

Dredd is one of the few movies I regret not having seen in 3d in theatre

@@Gigatoreador I think it being advertised as "Dredd 3D" probably deterred a lot of people from seeing it on the big screen. It's a shame, because the 3D worked brilliantly for the internal corridor shots of Peach Trees (and also gave a beautiful surreal edge to the Slo-Mo sequences 👌)

Just watched it again a few weeks ago, and it still holds up! An unflinching look at the 2000AD setting. Could you imagine if they tried to incorporate Judge Death into a future Dredd film?

Yeah, agree with all those in aspects. But seriously, I *LOVE* Tank Girl. it may not be the best adaptation of a different medium, but i so enjoyed Lori. To be fair, Tank Girl blends nicely with the Chopper storyline from JD so we should blend her into 40k.

Delaque

@@mattduncan4076 Precisely! 😜✌️

It may not suprise you to learn; Corbyn Dallas was directly inspired by Harry Canyon.

Fury Road was meant to be an ode to old silent movie classics, so the script was terse; be interesting to see if the Furiosa script is better. I think you're right, nothing to quote, but boy oh boy those vehicles were characters in themselves.

The 40k RPG Dark Heresy even outright name referenced Harlock in its major campaign plot!

The new Rogal Dorn tank and crew options give off a WW2/Fury vibe to me.

“You know there ain’t no Tiger [tank]s any more.” “Tell that to my crew.” That one coldly-delivered line basically sounds like a Guard veteran’s recounting of Chaos marines, or one of their tanks, to a pompous Colonel who only got second-hand accounts of fighting the arch-enemy. Good shout!

That movie was amazing! I can 100% agree with that take.

Yeah I say it is a very 40k movie, it is like a group of people descending in a hive, and I think the one guy even has a plasma gun that over heats.

And it has Ron Perlman in it :)

the old, old urien rakarth modle from like 1998 has an even more obvious lament configuration :)

@@searle_harbour ah, yes! The one with the little face and chains!

An underrated gem IMHO. As a big fan of Howard's original Solomon Kane stories, I think James Purefoy's rendition of the character was spot on! 👍🏻

I had heard that it was initially developed as a Hellraiser movie but I dont think I ever found anything to support it. Regarding its links to 40k the director had been asked and said he was really into 40k at the time so he couldn't not be influenced by it. Is that a round about way of say it was originally 40k? Who knows, but its fun to speculate!

@@cerberusbrig the movie was also going to be much darker and more violent - which one could argue moves it even closer to WH40k - but the studio stepped in and said no and then a bunch of the original footage was lost, too.

I've always wanted to do a "lovecraftian influences in 40k" video or something at some point, thanks for watching :D

​@roguehobbies now that would be awesome!!! When people make content about their passion, it shows through, and these videos are epic!

So anything with an alien in it? I guess anything with a human in it is a 40K movie as well.

@@hideousruin Only if the alien's behaviour or society the humans life in would fit into 40k. Thing's alien resembles a Tzeentch demon very much as it infects everything living and forces it to transform.

"The one with the lasgun shoots! The one without, follows him! When the one with the lasgun gets killed, the one who is following picks up the lasgun and shoots!"

Split Second too! Thanks for the suggestion,, never heard of this film before!

Glad it was helpful :)

Thank you were soo cloose!

That's not quite true, I'm sorry to say. It was written to be a haunted house in space. I read the script before shooting began and it was spooky but not overly violent. It was a lot like The Shining mixed with Alien. During filming they shot a lot of blood soaked nudity to be cut into those flashes of Hell and used just a few seconds of it. At no point was it based on 40k or referenced it in any way. There were no psykers or 40k daemons. The concept was that the ship went to the actual Christian Hell when it left normal space. Resemblance to 40k is coincidental.

The only connection that exist is that Philip Eisner who wrote Event Horizon has gone on record saying he played a lot of 40K when he was younger so it quite possibly influenced him.

Thanks dude!!

Mutant Chronicles almost becomes the Ouroborous since that game setting was heavily inspired by WH40K itself.

@@jasonmcquain7821 totally agreed

Im glad Im not the only one to mention this! That film was not exactly the greatest, but the IP is so rad. It deserves a proper adaptation.

Hellraiser I & II are easily the best. They basically fit together as a single story in two parts.
