Codex Pictures, who did all the Bionicle DVD movies for Lego, will be making a CG DVD movie based on Warhammer 40,000 called Ultramarines. Their web site doesn't say too much - in fact, this is literally all the info available on the project:The moment fans have been waiting for is finally here... for the first time, the Warhammer 40,000 universe will be realised in a feature-length movie on DVD.
Ultramarines is a 70-minute sci-fi thriller that will use CGI and state-of-the-art animation production techniques. Games Workshop is delighted to be working with UK-based production company Codex Pictures, who have the momentous task of bringing the Warhammer 40,000 universe to the screen.
Okay then..but really, 40K (as we called it) was an awesome hobby. Between playing the games and developing strategies, to the intricate modeling that usually outlasted the time spent playing, it was one of the most fun things I'd done in my pre-teen years. If they make the movie right, even you non-geeks might take a liking to the gaming realm. The concepts, not the actual games.
