Henry Cavill Isn’t The Only Celebrity Into Warhammer!

robin williams at scifigenre warhammerHenry Cavill recently became the latest celebrity to talk about the hobby publicly, but did you know there are quite a few famous fans of Warhammer already?

Believe it or not, there have been quite a few celebrities out there that have shown their true hobby colors. Check out this list of celebrities that have dabbled in Warhammer.

Vin Diesel Plays Blood Angels

Always rumored to be into the Warhammer scene via his Dungeons and Dragons roots, it has never been “proven” that he plays, however one Dakka Dakka user offered this story a few years about the Fast and Furious actor:

He asked the [Games Workshop store] in a mall to close so he could have an uninterrupted game, was refused, so [he] bought some Blood Angels assault marines and left.

While he’s never personally come out and said he plays Warhammer and all we have to go off of is someone’s story….It seems totally believable that he’d roll with the Blood Angels.

Trey Parker, Co-Creator of South Park

While it’s unclear if he’s into the Warhammer scene, it appears from an old article from White Metal Games, that Matt Parker is definitely into the Tabletop Hobby in-general.

He contracted a local studio here in North Carolina to paint up some figures and a Darth Vader for him. Caleb even whipped up a custom Man Bear Pig model for Mr. Parker as well.

A gamer since the 1980s as far as anyone can tell, he confirmed he was into Warhammer in a 2013 Reddit AMA . He was also rumored to have gotten a ton of other celebrities into Warhammer through movie interactions as well. Some of those include Billy Crystal, Kirsten Dunst, Bill Murray, and even Dustin Hoffman.

1.) Jordan from Axis of Awesome (Think Four Cords Song)

When interviewed about their “Awesomeness” the group let slip that Jordan was into 40k:

Benny is serious about his crossword puzzles, Lee serious about saving the lives of baby birds in his local area and Jordan serious about his Warhammer 40,000 miniature collection. So we’re all seriously cool.

In what might be the funniest pop culture cross over video ever for our hobby, the group showcases their adventures in Los Angeles for work, and play. It turns out the real reason for the group’s visit may have been for Jordan to meet up with Carl from the Independent Characters podcast to play a game of 40k!

The Four Chords song is a yearly singalong in our 11-hour trips to Adepticon, best of all it seems like the song gets longer every year with the new pop hits they add to it!

Henry Cavill Plays Custodes!

And of course, Henry Cavil set the internet on fire with his recent Instagram post:

You can see some subtle gold highlights at the sharpest edges of the bit. Which, believe it or not, takes a long time if you’re not just going to be aggressive and drybrush a slightly-lighter gold over it all.

Keep in mind that Mr. Cavill is the latest celebrity we’ve seen flex his hobby muscles. With that said, all these other celebs that made the list have been mentioned in previous years with little updates of where they are at with their hobby.

However, it is also rumored that Spiderman actor Tom Holland and Jason Mewes from Jay and Silent Bob are Celebrity Warhammer Hobbyists as well!

What do you think the most popular faction is across all celebrities that are into Warhammer?
