Stories which could have taken place in Warhammer 40 000

[Aldarion]

I remembered how Event Horizon (one of my favourite movies, seriously) is often called a Warhammer 40 000 prequel. So what works can you think of that could fit / be interpreted in as happening in Warhammer 40 000 universe, especially if they are interpreted as dealing with Chaos?

I would nominate Event Horizon (Gothic looking ship which tests what is supposed to be teleportation drive but ends up shifting vessel to hyperspace Hell / Chaos) and Outpost (a 2008 film about a bunch of mercenaries who look for a piece of Nazi mad science and end up finding ghost soldiers created by said pece of Nazi mad science).

I would say Dresden Files but I realize how much the NeverNever and the Warp differentiate

And all Psykers who have killed another mortal or human being intentionally with their powers would be instantly corrupted

And Outsiders aren’t Daemons

I think you might be interested in this:

Scientific advances of the third and subsequent millennia AD brought some knowledge of the Warp to ordinary humans.

Doesn't Event Horizon happen sometime in the 2000s?

Event Horizon is launched and disappears in 2040., movie happens in 2047. So yeah, it might well be a WH40k prequel.

As I stated in another thread...

Gears of War and Seras always had a Warhammer 40K feel and with their Gothic and Latin inspirations as well as the whole aesthetic it would be completely UNSURPRISING if Seras was just some lost colony of Humanity somewhere that had been chugging along for the past couple millenia since Emperor knows when.

In fact... This kind of plot device (Humans somehow living on a world that is not Earth but still dependent largely on Earth culture) could work for all manners of crossovers.

But Gears of War always had a very strong grimdark and Gothic style setting with the Gears especially being heavily armed examples of militant masculinity. Theyd fit the overall atmosphere of 40K pretty well as a more distinct lost colony or world of Humanity.
