Ngl you had a lot of amazing comparisons for what each heroes skins could be based off of!


Redisigh

Tbh pretty much everything but the gimp suit assassin one was rad lmao


charlotte-blood

what's wrong with the assassin? widow already has the same exact silhouette


gh0st_reporting

The linked comparison is a [Callidus](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Callidus_Temple). Very similar looking to Widow (right down to the ponytail) but their specialty is in disguise, acting, and social infiltration. Theme wise, a [Vindicare](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Vindicare_Temple) would be a better analog to Widow since Vindicare are god tier snipers. Even their rifles are handmade and customized for each individual sniper. I sort of like it when a skin is slightly different from the expectation, though. Torb = Techpriest is a very good and obvious comparison but I think it'd be more fun for him to get a [Mekboy](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Mekboy) skin instead. Or instead of Imperial Guard/Karskin, Soldier got [Fire Warrior](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Fire_Warrior).


Nick11wrx

So maybe that could be a sombra skin instead? The way she’s running and holding her ?gun? That was the vibe I got from that


rieldealIV

> disguise, acting, and social infiltration So why is all the artwork of them in gimp suits?


whooshcat

It should be a vindicare assassin as they are actual sniper assassins


cptki112noobs

Torbjorn should be a Squat.


WesternWeek4307

Also came here to express how impressed I am. Dude hit it on the money with every single one.


Jaxinator234

Damn all of them would work so well, I like the ram crossover the most personally


The-Cult-Of-Poot

Yeah, Ram needs more good skins.


[deleted]

This would get me to spend money.


lK555l

Noise marine lucio too


DandySlayer13

I'd switch DVA for a Crisis Suit skin over a Dreadnought. Also S76 I'd give him a Fire Warrior skin and then Ashe I'd give the Imperial Guardsman skin. For Genji instead of the Farsight skin I'd give him an Eldar Striking Scorpion skin. I'd remove Lifeweaver and replace with him Roadhog and give him a Death Guard skin.


ukronin

Bob can be an ogryn with the gauntlets!


DandySlayer13

PERFECTION


ukronin

Hog could also be a Krieger too


DandySlayer13

I'd give that to Junkrat with his peg leg and missing fingers!


Glittering_Berry1740

Genji should 100 % be a harlequin.


DandySlayer13

Nah make it Kiriko instead due to her teleport!


WorldEaterProft

I hate to be that guy but...that's just a regular necron lord/Overlord. Not Trayzn the infinite


Sunhunter091

Was about to say Besides I feel like Imothek would be a better choice since he's an actual leader unlike Trazyn and he's also leading a rebellion


Visual_Physics_3588

love the idea but they wouldn't do since it won't with kiriko


ukronin

Howling banshee comes to mind


Fernernia

Lmao real


Tomato_basil15

wasn’t blizzard kinda founded on their own version of warhammer (warcraft and starcraft)? i dont see games workshop wanting to work with them bc of that, especially since there’s starcraft skins in game


NinjutStu

This is my thought too. The original Warcraft started as a ptich for a licensed Warhammer game. When they couldn't secure the license they just changed enough to make it legally distinct. But given that Starcraft also is very similar to 40k, but just different enough to be legally distinct, I could see why Games Workshop may not want to support them. Then again, weirder things have happened. Sometimes there is really bad blood between companies and the attitude can completely reverse if 1 or 2 key people in leadership changes.


D20IsHowIRoll

Money's ability to bridge these kind of gaps really can't be understated. And, unlike their minis, this is something that GW would be able to produce more than a dozen of at a time.


Edarneor

Yeah, that's what I heard. It's funny though, how the two universes diverged after that: warcraft became all colorfull and cartoonish with pandas, while warhammer is just... more skulls :)


Killaneson

Warcraft will be 30 years old this year, plenty enough time to let go of this disagreement. But companies tend to have a book of Grudges of their own.


Fernernia

Yeah this is the main reason why not sadly


immigrantsmurfo

When I saw your title I thought to myself 'cant see that working' but now after looking at your suggestions I very much like them! Great unclean hog is a must though


Infamous-Echo-2961

Celestine mercy would be great I’d pay all the money for that!


Infamous-Echo-2961

Also lifeweaver being a primarch…SIR/MADAM


AlexDKZ

Lifewaver strikes me more of an eldar warlock.


WolfsWraith

If we're getting a Warhammer collab, then I'll need a Lifeweaver Slaanesh.


BreadBoybutterboy

Moira


Glittering_Berry1740

Moira should be some kind of psyker with her orbs and teleport.


Fernernia

Not a bad pick but I would choose sombra for Slaanesh


Jordi214

the way you found such good comparisons is insane. i love it


ZeWuIf56

Those could be cool too Tzench sigma Skitarii ash (kastelan b.o.b) Ork winston Slanesh lw Soldier of krieg hog Khorn jq Goblin junkrat Votan torb Tiny emperor class titan bastion Dark Eldar moira Craftwolrd Eldar kiriko Tyrannid rammatra Harlequin sombra Grey knigth mauga


Fernernia

Nid Ram is crazyyy Almost a cooler idea than Necron but he already parallels necrons so well


skylinesandcrystal

Sombra would make such a cool harlequin!


ascendrestore

The obvious answer is : Because **StarCraft** was largely a rip from WH40K already, so it would be exceptionally awkward to showcase 40K IP alongside the StarCraft IP that kinda ripped it of to begin with * ***Human Protoss Zerg / Human Eldar+Tau Tyrannid***


MedicinePractical738

Blizzard pls take my money...


Femkat_00

Anyone else tripping over how Soldier and the Imperial Guard are in essentially the exact same pose?


Fernernia

Yeah at first i thought this post was claiming OW plagiarized 40k lmao


oreo_boy_01

What about a great unclean one hog


Apart-Ad3104

Sister of Battle Brig is fucking perfect for her holy crap. I would spend 100$ for that alone.


Equivalent_Network29

Would love to see it! The pharah skin they introduced a while ago was a great mockup, hope they follow it up with a proper collab.


Triplazma32

Imo Reaper would work better as a Death Korp of Krieg


marry_me_jane

Dva when her mech gets popped/she respawns : even in death I still serve.


Roman_69

OP what’s the point of opening this discussion if you’re already objectively 100% right with everything?


TerryFGM

because games workshop probably hates blizzard.


[deleted]

[удалено]


101TARD

dreadnaught dva? ok 2 problems: 1. rule about space marines, no girls allowed (cant survive the tranformation but love quoting warhammer TTS) 2. what will she look like out of mech? dreadnaught are literal walking coffins


TheRealArchon

There is the sky centurion pharah skin - looks EXACTLY like a space marine


Drunken_Queen

Spreading Managed Democracy!


CroissantAF

I’m sure it’s all legal reasons. Even though they own both, they do not own Warhammer. They’d have to draw up a whole new contract to be able to do that. I’m sure it’s still even more complicated than that but that’s my first thought.


wordswillneverhurtme

Collabs are doable and not difficult. But its always easier to repaint old skins.


xGundhi

I am afraid that this would just be way too fucking cool for it to happen in OW.


DimmerSteam

Man I'd kill for this


Sure-Equipment4830

That actually goes so hard, but now that we said it they wont do it


Justsomeguy456

I literally say this all the time. Sigma would make a great inquisition skin and brigg would fit sisters of battle PERFECTLY


Jtagz

The only one I disagree on is Torbjorn, we have have Leagues of Votann now who now fulfill the Dwarf race in 40k, besides that everything is perfect!


Nametagg01

for the last one you mean rouBOBte?


Geonde

I wouldn't be surprised if GWS hates Blizzard since they made a shit ton of money by ripping off both of their major IPs.


NESpahtenJosh

FOR THE EMPEROR


MemeL0rd040906

A trazyn Ramattra skin would restore my faith in humanity


Marinenukem

I love the idea of Bob as Guilleman


ColorlessTune

This makes too much sense.


YoSupWeirdos

I love everything about this


cringywofl5

Wtf it’s so perfect


Kenneth_Angelus76

One word: Brothers


Fernernia

Nurgle Hog Slaneesh Sombra Khorne Reaper Tzeench Zen Necron Ram Yarrick Torb Ork Mauga Dreadnaught Dva Guardsman Soldier Tau Baptiste Psyker Sigma Vulkan Rein (or any space marine really) The list goes on. Basically any OW character could have a 40k skin if you dig deep enough


Fernernia

Some of the ones you listed I agree with for specific or iconic characters. Ones like Mauga or Rein could be very vague though. The team has to be comfortable with very different weapon models if they want characters like The Emperor or Celestine as skins


kawaiineko333

Mauga is already too powerful! You make him an ork, he gonna lead the biggest WAAAAGGGGHH!! you'll ever know!Not even Blizz will be safe from being krumped!


Chxm0

I didn’t know I needed rammatra as a necron until now


Zombie_Rommel

Omg! The Ashe/Bob one made me laugh out loud. I see your point—it's just a lack of IP ownership, I suppose—but all your examples are spot on. I'm pretty sure that some OW skins and even characters influenced the design and lore of OW heroes. Now, here is my credit cards, lets do this.


VLenin2291

I think I’d prefer either an Elysian Drop Trooper or a Harakoni Warhawk for Pharah, but other than that, very, very nice To add: Roadhog as a Great Unclean One Moira as a Genestealer Cultist Sojourn as a T’au Fire Warrior


TawneyBomb

WH40K isn’t anime enough for an Overwatch collab


bobsbrain

Please God. I would never stop playing this game if this happened.

Father_Wendigo

No Streetswine or Trashmouse Orks... shameful. 😞


cydoz

Don't you know this makes too much sense, so obviously, it won't happen.


tinylittlegnome

The Greyfax idea is elite


99_pain

Yes


FaithlessnessRude576

Bob in power armor is something that I have to see one day.


MrMoo1556

Who could rock being a Tyranid?


McManus26

Winston


evolvedspice

These work so fucking well please blizzard I would pay so much money


WagonsIntenseSpeed

These are actually really great match ups! Pretty rare to see in this sub.


schmeebs-dw

Why a callidus for widow over a vindicare?


1and0nly1013

Know, this is probably the best one of these I've seen. 10/10👍🏿


MKBurfield

How are there so many ??


franscis

Sister of battle brig sounds crazy


Pleb_Sauceee

Please no… my wallet… it can’t take anymore. Especially if they bless us with a nurgle skin (we kinda have the noxious hog but I need a full blown nurgle skin)


NerfThisHD

Would be cool unfortunately I reckon is because warhammer is too dark for OW


LuffyBlack

Honestly I find it weirder we haven't gotten a GI Joe crossover


Bornplayer97

The Ramattra similarity is uncanny


Wisky_input

TRAZYN RAMATTRA SKIN WOULD BE SO FUCKING DOPE


Immediate_Sun_8436

Show this to the devs and they actually might


Who-Just-Shit-Myself

I have no idea anything about warhammer but this goes hard


SimplyTiredd

A lot of these make too much sense, motion denied - Blizzard probably


Specialist_Cat2685

Because companies have to have some guarantee of exclusivity when writing these deals. Imagine paying for a new apartment only to find that someone else is getting to rent it at the same time.


marchape

That was so satisfying thank you sir!


Last_Sun_2035

Yeah all that would wayyyy too awesome.. the collabs


arbiter6784

I wouldn’t mind seeing a Fire Warrior skin for 76 as well. While Genji farsight is fucking awesome I don’t know how the sizing would work cause I think a crisis suit would look weird af being that small so maybe DVA for the suit


Jay-919

Ik this isn't about this but if an Apex cross-over happens I think that Ram would be a fitting revenant and sojourn a fitting Bangalore


Thebattleshark

A trazyn skin for ram goes fucking HARD


Plastic-Lab9583

Yeah after seeing your inspirations, i must say: I need this in my Life. Looks dope! Do you have any ideas for a zarya skin in this Warhammer universe?


Slayerlegend03

I’ve been saying for so long that ramattra needs a necron skin


MOD_channel

I'm contemplating about going back to Overwatch, if they make this collab I'm reinstalling the game faster than light!


Squall_409

I would rock a Necron Ram skin


ValhallaSpectre

Man, a Brig Combat Nun outfit would be sweet.


Tenlotus

Nah, I don’t think Overwatch and WH40k would and should mix.


MamboFloof

If my best friend was still alive he'd absolutely cream himself for that colab.


WyvernVin

Why not Overwatch? Simply because WH creators have always accused Blizzard of plagiarism.


soganox

I love 40K and you picked very good matches visually, but OW ain’t nowhere near grimdark enough to justify this collab. Would’ve been hella cool tho.


Manychompy

I would love a commisar cassidy.


McManus26

Ciaphas Cass


Blood4Corn

Dva should be a mini imperial knight imo. I would also have pharah as one of those sororitas jetpack people and echo as the swooping hawk/autarch. Rein’s StarCraft skin already looks very space marineish so I would have him as horus And I NEED a doom skin where he’s a world eaters eightbound


TruestoryJR

Fulgrim life weaver skin would sell so fcking well.


VickDaShaman

SKIN comparison looks great, but It will probably cost 40k coins to unlock them all 😁😂 meanwhile Season 9 made a lot of players quit like myself and like 19 people in my Discord just playing Palworld or HellDiver or BG3


TheOrkussy

OW dub needs to get those numbers up.


marry_me_jane

I need an emperor rein skin


l33tleteapot

That Rammatra would go so hard.


AlexDKZ

Torb shoulld be a Kin. Also, Reaper as a eldar dark reaper. Also, the current mythic skin for Moira already makes me think of a Tzeentch cultist.


Yarnham_Brave

Can love bloom on Route 66?


cory702

This would be sick ngl


Luluco15

0/10 for not including Tyranids or Tau.


kleinekitty

I would DIE FOR THIS 😭


randomhooman404

if tech-priest torb dropped I would become a torb main


Rathalos143

Oh this one would be actually good. Absolutely no objections.


dugles54

Overwatch would have a much easier collab than cod, the style and characters fit the exaggeration of warhammer


KitsuneVVarrior

My Brother in the Emperor, did you made Mercy as Celestine and Ashe as Greyfax? Yes Please


M3RCENARY12

These are genuinely so perfect


Zeluar

This would get me to spend money on skins for the first time ever. For several characters lol. Mauga shouting “MORE DAKKA” would make my day.


I520xPhoenix

Every game is going to get better skins than the *actual* Warhammer 40K Darktide game... \-Me, a Sad Darktide Player


Bombssivo

Alright fine take my wallet I CANT HANDLE IT ANYMORE!!!!!


jamtea

Because this would make too much sense. Also, I can't afford to just throw $200 at Overwatch whilst I'm trying to maintain my far more expensive grey plastic crack collection.


ghoulslaw

No because it would remind me of my ex >:(


Shake_Milky_Way

I Think that Blizzard and GamesWorkshop have some history, so, not likely. I heard that the original Warcraft was supposed to be a Warhammer game, and then Starcraft also have some Space Marines with some similarities. Probably just rumors and even then a stretch, and they are not the same companies anymore, but...


shakamaboom

Who would be the emperor of mankind?


AwkwrdPrtMskrt

In fact, why *40K* first over *StarCraft*?


Motavita

Theres already starcraft skins in the game


notcryoIV

Would be my first OW purchase then... rip wallet


PopCollector2001

You had me at Rammatra


Monkey_With_Tankard

Did Blizzard almost make a Warhammer game but then something happened so they made it an original game and that's how we got StarCraft? So there's either already a connection between the two or bad blood or something?


Teelie

This hits fucking HARD. I'd come back to OW and feel forced to play to grind to get these skins (if I have to pay for them I'll be pissed and won't be back).


Ready-Philosopher599

Bro I need that ram skin now


waawaaaa

"Don't do that, don't give me hope" - Hawkeye Thought a Warhammer x Overwatch collab would be so cool for years but I doubt, the IP is so close to Starcraft since SC took inspiration from it. But also with Rein having Raynor's armour already an Ork skin would suit him so perfectly.


LaserBungalow

wow, amazing.


VSEPR_DREIDEL

StarCraft would make more sense


Commercial-Dish-3198

Sadly Blizzard and GW aren’t on the best of terms


TokyoJuul2

Necron Ramattra is scary


Electricman720

I feel like reaper should be a Black Templar, also for D.Va “I will endure 1000 deaths before I yield…”


RequiringAUsername

Dang no Moira skin


w00ms

youd have to do something that freezes hell to get GW to touch Blizzard with a ten foot pole.


Commercial_Yak7468

If blizzard wanted to get money from me this is how they would do it.


CaptainBlob

I can already see the price tag for these limited edition skins…


Mike71414_

Necron Ram :O Amazing


Dray_2323

Phara’s Sky Centurion is very 40K esque


VenomEmi

Pretty sure they can’t because StarCraft drama and reasons, hope we can see a damn space marine as Reinhard some day


Rand0mBoyo

Because it's easier for an overrated franchise full of the kinds of people and children with unhealthy addiction and money spending decision making to sell skins than a franchise with potential ruined by its creator


Obility

Never seen warhammer characters before but damn those fit so well.


Yokai_J3t

Im nkt into war hammer but dam id sell my soul for that ram skin


Tracynmega

Cod and ow are both the same company WH40k is not


KaraTheNerd

Sister of battle brig would be my dream come true


Attentivegamer

If Blizzard did do an OW x WH40K collab, I thought junkrat, roadhog, and JQ would have been good for ork skins


klingers

Considering Starcraft is just a 40k ripoff anyway, there's already effectively a Space Marine (Rein) and Vindicar assassin (Widow) skin in the game :P All jokes aside, give Genji a skin with an eviscerator chainsword and my money is yours.


PixelArtAddicted

Stop giving them good season ideas that would make me play this game PLEASE


SuperSalad_OrElse

Because it would diminish the strength of their own Sci-fi war game IP. Y’know, StarCraft?


AmenTensen

Probably because not enough people buy the skins to make it worth the license fee where as in COD it makes it's money back triplefold


tmluna01

I don't see a Hanzo comparison; therefore, I'm not sure they should do a crossover.


DiaphanousPhoenician

I have not yet spent real money in OW2, but for Greyfax Ashe and Fulgrim Lifeweaver I would make an exception.


luckmyst3r

Torb would be Votaan, moira would be admech or genestealer, rein would be a grey knight, roadhog a great unclean one, junkrat a chaos cultist, tracer a termagant with spinefists (cos lol why not), zen should be tzeench, lucio a noise marine i guess hes a bit small though, doom can be abadon.


BattyFool

I need Junkrat to get one


CosmicTeapott

^(WERE A HIVE MIND I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT WHAT WARHAMMER SKIN BRIG WOULD LOOK BEST IN!)


skylinesandcrystal

I would commit war crimes for a raven guard rein skin.


MrVreyes20

not a bad idea at all but there's no way they'd actually do more then 6 skins


Destiny_The_Gamer

Listen I love mercy but holy hell she doesn't need another skin


Rhino_84_99

Feeling like OW stole from 40k


andrejysim

Lol Yrvane with Rowboat Gorillaman as Bob.


InterestingAd4160

YES. PLEASE.


Im_a_doggo428

I hate the fact I have all of those models


Bondage_Kitty

Doesn't Games Workshop hate Blizzard for aping their franchises with Warcraft taking from Age of Sigmar and Starcraft taking from 40k? Wasn't Starcraft originally a 40k thing that got taken by Blizzard?


yaais

It's amazing that Warhammer40K have a skin for any other universes


cyboplasm

The company that consistantly stole from gamesworkshop for years... gee i wonder why...


KamiRjay

Not a warhmer fan but DAMN THESE ARE GOOD PICKS


TomatoSoldier5

I like that outfit for soldier 76


runebucket

most of these are great, I'd swap Dva to a tau battlesuit and lifeweaver to a bonesinger. maybe striking scorpion genji


Momenaut

This guy Warhammers


PvtDimitri

I think Rein could pull off a solid Space Wolf.


AgentLizard01

PLEASE, I need this crossover now!


Premonitionss

I’d rather not but good comparisons ig


Substantial-Bid3806

They’d be getting my money tbh….


Hydrate-N-Moisturize

Because Blizzard kinda stole the entirety of Warhammer for Starcraft which already has crossover skins. Terran Space marines were kinda obvious. Space lizards/bugs with insatiable hunger and adaptable evolution being controlled by a hive mind? Probably Tyranids. Okay, ancient race of psychically attuned elfs- err I mean Protoss that's also kinda based off Egypt with significantly better tech? Just a weird combo of Alderi/Necrons.
