Henry Cavill Surprises Employees at UK Warhammer Headquarters
Star of the Netflix television show The Witcher, Henry Cavill, got to itch the scratch of one of his biggest fandoms when he visited the Warhammer headquarters in the United Kingdom.

Warhammer 40,000 is an incredibly popular tabletop miniature wargame, where players use painted models to create battles. Warhammer 40,000 is set against a backdrop of rich lore, which is what has attracted so many fans. The sci-fi, 42nd Millenium setting that also blends certain elements from fantasy (including demons, magic, and other supernatural beings) allows for the creation of some unique models and characters.

Warhammer 40,000 spawned out of the earlier miniature games Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer Fantasy, which were more focused on traditional fantasy elements.
