Woah.
Fran Spotnitz of The X-Files and The Man in the High Castle is developing a TV show based on the Eisenhorn saga by Dan Abnett, set in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe. This is the story of an Imperial Inquisitor rooting out heretical cults and followers of Chaos who is forced to embrace the weapons of the enemy to defeat them, and ends up in a precarious situation. There are eight books so far in the series with two more to come, so they have plenty of material to work with.
This series in particular was probably chosen because of the relatively tight focus, small scale and small cast of characters, all of which make this more practical than some of the other stories in the setting.

That's some quality pedigree involved - Frank Spotnitz (The Man in the High Castle). My brother loves that show.

I don't know If the excesses of Warhammer can actually exist in live action but I'm curious to watch it.

I've always held an interest in the Warhammer universe but never done anything about it, I wouldn't know where to start.
Will be interested to see how this turns out.

The EISENHORN novel omnibus is a pretty good place to be eased relatively gently into the universe.
