Do you have an idea for setting the Tempest(A Shakespearean play) as a 40k story? That storm could act as a warp-storm.

Well, I've been working on something based around the latter idea, except that by this point it's probably it's own thing. It started off as The Clock Strikes Thirteen Oneshot I did a while back, and has also taken quite a bit of inspiration from the Metal Gear Solid series (particularly Guns of the Patriots). It'll be a while before it gets posted, as it's written down in my notebook and still has to be typed onto Google Docs. Not to mention I ain't done with it yet.

Clueless, a harry potter story(2015)
Cher and Dionne are the academically underachieving, socially overachieving stars of Ilvermorny.
Though she's a ray of sunshine whenever she's getting her own way, things change for Cher when her stepbrother returns home and starts making her feel guilty about her vapid lifestyle. In typical fashion, a convenient exchange student from hogwarts appears, and Cher decides to take the girl under her wing and improve her life by molding her into a model member of her clique.

hmm. Set in Manchuria perhaps, and focusing on the assassination of Tojo? i will get to work. Thanks for the idea.
It depends on when the series is made. If it is filmed in the late 1940's or early 1950's, the series will play 'in the present' with all the conventions of the era as well as all the conventions of the early days of television. For the era, the A-team will be an all-American crack commando with representatives from all the American strata: Irish, Italian, possibly a Hispanic from the Caribbean, but no black person -period- and the team leader will still be a white Anglo protestant. For the TV conventions, forget about the team being mercenaries. They are noble to the bone and will never accept payment,other than a free apple pie. Like Ivanhoe on the other TV channel,they are just modern knights errant, roaming the country on a quest for the one man that can prove their innocence.
If the series were filmed in the 1980's as OTL, but set in the years between WWII and Korea, the plots would be pretty much the same as OTL, but with the added glamour of impeccable suit-and-tie outfits and roaring cbrome-studded cars. Despite the fact that the army wasn't integrated until 1947, the team will still have a black teammate, his connection will be as their former mechanic or quartermaster, but the stories involving African Americans will invariably play in Harlem jazz clubs or other northern settings, never in the Jim Crow South.
Also as a sign of the 80's, the team will again be justice-for-money mercenaries, but it will be portrayed as if this was just a part of their job. The team is still hunted for a crime they didn't commit, but seems to be completely disinterested in proving their innocence,just in staying out of the hands of the FBI
If the series were filmed today, expect a lot more moral ambiguity in both the characters as well as the portrayal of their enterprise. Expect each character to have at least one negative trait and for the whole bunch to be prone to quarreling and disliking at least one other member of their team. Also expect the money side of their business to be played out more openly with team members fighting over the distribution of the loot or urging Hannibal to hold out for a better deal. Finally, the series will have one overarching storyline involving 'the crime they didn't commit' with the viewer getting more details with every episode until in the end a more complex picture emerges where the team didn't do the actual crime but all were somehow complicit in minor ways. Like in the OTL series they might by times work.for the government,but if they do so, they so so for a promise of amnesty, not exoneration.
And someone will reboot the setting into post-vietnam war or war on terror.
Here's Warframe if it was an RTS Game.
Dark Sector
A real-time strategy game developed by Digital Extremes. It is set in the far distant future, in the conflict-ridden Origin System. It focuses on the conflict between the expansionist and xenophobic Grineer Empire and the greedy and immoral Corpus. There have been three subsequent expansions: Dark Origins, which adds the Technocyte Virus as a playable faction and introduces the Tenno, mysterious and highly-deadly warriors from the Orokin Era; Ancients, which adds three new campaigns for each of the playable factions and also unlocks the Void, a mysterious extradimensional realm where the secrets of the Orokin lie; and the Old War, which introduces the Sentients, an alien machine race that defeated the Orokin in the ancient past.
Something for the weeaboos:
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Season 3 (2012)
The Happiness of Haruhi Suzumiya (2015)
POD: there are no Endless Eight episodes; that chapter of the light novel series is made into just one episode instead.
Because of this, more chapters from the light novel series are adapted into Season 2 episodes - up to and including The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya as a whole; the OTL movie is butterflied away - and, without the Endless Eight, the franchise doesn't experience a backlash, remaining Kyoto Animation's most profitable franchise and a pop culture juggernaut. An adaptation of the spin-off manga The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan is aired between 2010 and 2011 - much earlier than in OTL - as well as a second season of The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya.
The anime's third season begins airing in 2012 - Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! is butterflied away - chronicling, among other things, the rise and defeat of the anti-SOS Brigade. The third season is incredibly successful, and the series' enduring popularity forces Nagaru Tanigawa to wrap up the adventures of the SOS Brigade with a final volume, The Happiness of Haruhi Suzumiya; the volume's release is compared in Japan to the release of a new console or of a new Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy game.
The movie based on the final novel is released in 2015, and is lauded by both critics and fans; in the movie, several plot threads of the anime and light novel series are given a suitably epic and spectacular ending: with Kyon's help, Nagato Yuki rebels against the Data Overmind in order to keep her emotions and free will; Kyon reveals to Haruhi the truth about herself and the SOS Brigade, as well as the fact that he's "John Smith"; the SOS Brigade as a whole successfully changes the future, proving the cynical, morally grey adult version of Asahina wrong.
The Haruhi Suzumiya series ends up being regarded as the most influential anime series of the 2000s, and as one of the decade's best anime series overall, up there with Code Geass, Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist.

Daria
Satirical cartoon running from 1996 to 2004, spinning out of Beavis and Butt-head. Acerbic and cynical, Daria Morgendorffer spoke for a disgruntled generation of teens who'd seen the Cold War end and the 'American Century' end soon after in a long economic depression & continuing rise of Japan. Her parents, sharp parodies of the Suits of the 80s, continued to insist there were golden days ahead while her sister Quinn and many of her peers scrambled in an eternal 'now' for distractions. The final years of the show saw Daria go to college, holding down a day job and jumping through scholarship hoops to afford it.

why the RWBY mania? again RWBY were based in pretty set japanese tropes from 80's to 90's(before the moemania in japan)....
I want to watch if we adapted super sentai into power rangers, starting from goranger in 1975..
