Henry Cavill knows his way around the geek world like the back of his hand. While he frequents numerous science fiction books, video games, and miniature, the Warhammer franchise is one that Cavill never runs out of words for. Even as he promoted his trademark series The Witcher, the British actor could not help but gush about it. But if Cavill has a harem dedicated in his heart to Warhammer, then the community similarly has a sanctuary in his name in theirs.

While Cavill’s entry into the Warhammer 40K franchise has been met with a lot of pomp and grandeur, it is not his first time. Long before it came to the actor’s rescue, at a time when both Superman and The Witcher had turned their backs, Warhammer had already made enough space for the actor in his favorite game.

If one had a dollar for every time Cavill mentioned Warhammer and how it is his “lifelong dream come true,” financial instability would not have been a word known to many. When we said that the community has a sanctuary dedicated to Cavill in their hearts, we meant it quite literally because the game’s creative director himself eternalized the actor as a part of the Warhammer universe.

Aldridge found Cavill’s love for the game endearing and deemed it fun to “somehow inject him into the game.” And he did exactly that by making an Easter Egg character in The Warden & The Paunch named Cavill.

The actor inspired the makers to make a unique High Elf Loremaster of Hoeth. To make things even better, the 40-year-old is a playable character.

Becoming an Easter Egg in the Warhammer Universe marked the actor’s first leap from a player to a playable character. But the best was yet to come.

Cavill’s second milestone in the Warhammer universe

Warhammer is not just a game franchise but an emotion. And also one of the biggest miniature tabletop games. Around the same time that he announced the project, Simon Cook, a devoted WarCraft miniature connoisseur, brought a new Adeptus Custodes- Heinrich Cavillius.

This step in Cavill’s journey in the WarCraft universe took over more than 100 hours of hard work in crafting by Simon Cook. Even before the actor took the arduous task of guiding a Warhammer Cinematic Universe into life, Cavill had been a prominent part of it.
