Oh yeah I'm still a big fan. It's just one of those properties that's tough to do as movie/tv because of how over the top everything is. How do you present it without the average person just laughing it off. It's tougher on screen than it is in games or books to strike the balance between ridiculous and believable.

It's edgy as fuck, no doubt. Also some of the deep lore is absurdly dark and twisted. Real Clive Barker level shit.

Yeah I really enjoyed Astartes. But it tells a short, contained story in a very specific way, you couldn't build an entire TV show using just that style.
And I mean, I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying it will be difficult to do it well. Lots of people feel like it's a no-brainer, but... it isn't. Finding that balance will take some skill in terms of writing, directing and acting. And with the current glut of streaming shows good talent is in short supply.
