From Warhammer Miniatures to Game of Thrones Chess Set- Here Are All The Geeky Stuff Henry Cavill Has Kept At Home
No one can perhaps disagree that the fan-favorite British actor, Henry Cavill is a certified nerd. Well, he himself accepts this side of his publicly and leaves no stone unturned to prove the same. From working hard to building a gaming computer of his own to knowing a plethora of video games on the tips of his finger, the actor never shies away from flaunting his true personality. His wish to stay true to the Andrzej Sapkowski books was also a result of him being a true nerd. But, that is not all. He has specific items in his house that cement his reputation of being a nerd.
While Henry Cavill is known for his roles in blockbuster movies, what many people may not know is that the self-proclaimed nerd has a passion for all things geeky. In fact, he has even kept some of his favorite geeky items in his home. And no! We are not talking about the grand computer that he is building. Exactly a year earlier, Cavill had a chat with host Ali Plumb for a BBC coverage interview, and it is there that we got to know about his many other highbrow collectibles.

Plumb seemingly knows his questions well, and when he asked Cavill about his collectibles mentioning the infamous Game of Thrones chess board, the British actor couldn’t help but exclaim that it was a good eye. Not everyone has noticed that earlier. Well, the list does not end here though!
Henry Cavill also has Warhammer figurines and The Witcher replica sword in his collection
Notably, the other geeky thing that adds up to his geeky collection is his extensive collection of Warhammer figurines. Warhammer is a tabletop miniature war game that has been around since the 1980s. It involves players building and painting their own armies of miniature figurines and then battling against each other on a tabletop battlefield. Cavill has been a fan of Warhammer since he was a child and has even admitted to spending hours painting his figurines. And the announcement of the live-action adaptation of the game has just added to his joys.

Another item in his collection is his replica of the sword from The Witcher. In the Netflix series, Cavill plays Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter who wields a silver sword. He was so passionate about the role that he had a replica of the sword made for him to keep at home. Apart from these, Cavill also owns some of the coolest video games and a series of comic books and graphic novels.
Overall, Henry Cavill’s passion for all things geeky and nerdy is a refreshing change from the typical Hollywood actor. His collection of Warhammer figurines, replica swords, and comic books show that he is not afraid to embrace his inner nerd. It is clear that Cavill is not just an actor, but also a true fan of the geeky and nerdy culture.
