Since Games Workshop is giving out 40k IP like it's free candy, could we maybe see some 40k skins?

I think it would be beneficial to both GW and Riot. You get to make some really badass looking skins with the 40k IP and GW gets more people who are interested in 40k.

I mean ever since I started playing the champion I wanted to have Space Marine Garen. We already have Starcraft Space Marine skins but we still need 40k Space Marine skins. It would be sooooo cool, I'd actually spend money on that.

For those who are unfamiliar with the 40k universe and therefore don't know what these skins would look like, browse this if you're interested: https://warhammerart.com/gallery/warhammer-40000/

Pretty sure Dreadnova Darius fits that.

Riot likely doesn't want to make officially licensed skins, as then you have to deal with royalty fees and the like. Better to make something that is similar enough to be recognized as an homage to the original, but still different enough to be League's own IP.

Speaking as a former GW Studio member... this seems very unlikely to me... :-P

OH MY GODS, MORDEKAISER IS ONE OF THE MISSING PRIMARCHS.

Yorick is the Shepherd of Souls... He's either the Emperor of Mankind or the one feeding him.

Damn, the Riot Games collective hate for Yorick extends further. :(

Dat part when Mord‘s Head being cut off in lore kind remind me of poor Ferrus，and commander Garen would always be my favorite Garen skin because of the Cadian elements I saw in that skin. I always have a dream that one day Riot would publish Shield of Baal Skin line (Azir being a Necron Overlord, Cho being a Badass Great Devour, and Garen being a glorious son of Sanguinius)

If you would've said that 2 years ago I could see where you are coming from, but GW is changing. They aren't the company they used to be, much more open-minded.
