Reply to comment by WordsAreSomething in how is there no really good Warhammer 40k tv show? by jamtwin1

most people weren't necessarily familiar with the game of thrones or lord of the rings either and they're great. alot of people would have also just considered them niche nerd stuff until the films and tv shows came out. i think Warhammer could be really good if it was adapted and targeted towards a big audience
