We're going to have to come up with a phrase for the new era of Warhammer 40,000 ushered in by the Amazon TV show, DoW 4 and Total War 40k, and increased market value of Games Workshop.

nu40k isn't going to cover it. nu40k is already bad enough for many of us from headier days like 1st through 4th edition. You are going to see horrific debasements to the thing you know and love that you will still see with your eyes closed. Every 80 IQ person with internet access will have an opinion on Warhammer without knowing what a Tau Remora Drone is.

At absolute most, they'll be the flavour-of-the-month for a brief spell, then they'll be forgotten in under a year and people will move on to something else. Nothing has staying power now, everything is ephemeral. Monoculture is dead and people rarely venture outside of their own carefully curated walled gardens for very long.

Several months at least but fucking hell pray it is just a flash in the pan, pray it flops and geedubs never tries any Netflix tv slop ever again because if this is a success then 40k is doomed for good

I'm kinda using the Fallout show to estimate how much normalfags will lap it up, felt worried about season 1 it was popular, but season 2 seems lukewarm

Fallout's a fucking prime example. The buzz around the first season lasted all of a few months, and now you don't hear anything about season 2 outside of the the existing Fallout fan spaces. It didn't bring in floods of new people, they just watched it and moved on

this Henry Cavill shit is grating. OP i'm sure you're just some guy, but it feels very astroturfed.

i watched Tudors when it was on. i'm sure Mr Cavill enjoys Warhammer and computer games. but i don't believe for a second THIS guy was Just Like Me(TM) at the time.

some PR guy noticed the whole Keanu obsession and decided to try and replicate it.

Yeah like we've never seen a whole single painted miniature

Just one

It's always fucking merchandise and a book

What's wrong with Lame & Gay?

I've got some ideas to revitalize the 40k franchise.

1. Roboute Guilliman needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine
2. Whenever Roboute Guilliman is not present, all the other characters should be asking 'Where's Roboute?'

Seeing as Tau are nu40k bullshit and should be removed from the setting, I think you're part of the problem

I feel like Fallout isn't the same thing at all.
Fallout has some lore, some depth and some decent entries but nowhere near the quantity of WH and the last thing hardcore fans of the series genuinely care about came out 15 fucking years ago. Fanbase was barely alive anyway. Bethesda turned the setting it into pretty much a franchise that exists only to push merch and low quality products a long time ago and the TV series was exactly that, also clearly aimed at normie-normies

Meanwhile 40k still has very large, active and alive communities that are going to get flooded and gradually morphed into something largely different. TV show secondaries will probably be largely deflected, but game secondaries from Total War or DoW4 often do try to stick around and get into fandom, despite usually sticking out like a sore thumb
