Cavill's Warhammer 40K is doomed to failed, CHANGE MY MIND....
IT WONT WORK.
Because a proper 40k film need to be R rate, action packed, dark as hell, extreme violent and gore as the weapons in this universe are so brutal, 80% of it supposed to be CGI to get the job done.

Most importantly, 40k fanbase is pretty thin, do you seriously think they will respect the lore?

Knowing Amazon and modern day woke culture, this is what they will do:
1. Female space marine
2. 6 feet tall, Midget space marine with plastic-looking power armor
3. 90% of the film involving around cringe conversion and drama in a basement, ruined building, a small camp in the middle of wasteland instead of massive Gothic structure.
4. Poop grade actor(except Cavill himself)
5. Space marine being romantic or befriend a guardman or civilian(unless they're from Salamander chapter)

and the list go on....

edited: I've nothing against Cavilll, in contrast, i'm his massive fan since Immortal, what isnt to like about him, tall, strong chin, muscular, a lady-killer and a gaming nerd. The man basically giga chad in my world.
But this post is all about WH 40k project that he's involved in, with Amazon as a fund giver, we can all see where does this road lead to.

Don/t be ridiculous.

...games workshop would rather burn down their office buildings than give the Salamanders any kind of exposure nowadays.

Games Workshop is notoriously picky about how WH40K is depicted. I don't think they'd let them half ass it.

None at all, in fact they are one of the more popular chapters in the fanbase.

But they have had NO lore for about ten real-life years at this point. If not more. We haven't seen what they have done about the great rift, the primaris thing, the 13th black crusade...nothing at all.

Its actually pretty jarring. If not for the occasional rule update, you might wonder if they have been removed from the lore altogether. There's a point where you wonder what the hell GW must have against them.

See the thing is. From what little I know of Warhammer 40k, it just doesn't work as live action. There are far too many stories to tell and everyone has so many interpretations and there are very much HIGH expectations from everyone. It's one of those things where you'll never please the fans. Especially if you change ANYTHING.

With Cavill (big 40K fan) as exec producer, we can at least suppose the intention is to be faithful to the lore. There will be changes, and it won't be as extreme as it should be, but it doesn't mean it will be bad.
Adaptation imply transformation. It still can be an interesting show, it depends on sooo many more things than lore-accuracy.

Budget is the main issue for the 40K scale, but if they're smart about it, about the setting, it could work.

Don't be hyped, but don't trash the show when it has just been announced!

Even if there is a sincere effort to stay true to the setting I doubt that it will transfer over through the medium of live adaptation.

They are too nice for 40K's GrimDark setting. Same reason the Tau were changed to secret brainwashers.

The reality of 40k is too grim for non fans to understand. You honestly think that a company like Amazon will make a movie that portrays the racism of 40k? All their SJW employees would faint repeatedly. Or the non-apologetic fascistic nature of the Empire? Think of the diversity hires!

They are gonna skew the grim-dark image of 40k we love and at best they'll make a Warhammer 40k lite or they'll make it some politically correct circle jerk.
