Henry Cavill spotted at Games Workshop Headquarters
pcgamer.comWitcher star and PC Gaming Global Goodwill Ambassador Henry Cavill recently paid a visit to Warhammer World—part of Games Workshop's UK headquarters—according to social media posts from various Games Workshop employees.
Cavill's love of the classic tabletop game is well-documented. He has previously defended Warhammer's honor on no less a battlefield than the Graham Norton show, and has also shared his personal miniature painting projects via Instagram.

The thing that makes this visit potentially exciting beyond the joy of knowing a strong successful guy shares a love of your hobby is Cavill's previously stated interest in being a part of any potential Warhammer 40k adaptation.

The actor's presence at Warhammer World certainly doesn't confirm anything—we've reached out to Games Workshop and will update this story if we hear back—but it's circumstantial evidence that something could be percolating.
