The Witcher and Superman star Henry Cavill finally made the trip to Games Workshop HQ and Warhammer World to visit the home of the hobby he loves!
Every hobbyist’s favorite was front row center at Warhammer World, as Games Workshop social media team shared an official picture of his visit! From there the #HenryCavill blew up with selfies from Warhammer World and Games Workshop studio staffers.
While there has been no official word on why Cavill was there, we imagine it was a publicity opportunity for both parties, as we recently GW extend an invitation to WWE superstar Shayna Baszler to visit as well.
Henry Cavill never seems to cease with the awesome Warhammer love. This time, he took the time to pose for pics seeming with anyone that wanted them.
It was our pleasure today to show Warhammer super-fan Henry Cavill round the home of Warhammer. Little known fact about Henry: he has the Hero keyword and a 2+ save. pic.twitter.com/qJr2n3b1uG

Oh, go on, then I'll get on the bandwagon. I met the glorious beast that is #HenryCavill at Warhammer World today. He's been a hobbyist for 22 years – heroism worthy of the VIth Legion itself! @WarComTeam #WarhammerCommunity #Warmongers pic.twitter.com/3nZDwAUUjC

As you know Cavill has been unrelenting in vocalizing his love or Warhammer, even soft pitching a role of the Emperor in a post on Instagram from The Witcher!
It looks like at some point he’s even holding the latest White Dwarf magazine, so it makes us wonder if he bought anything else while he was there.
