I heard a good one-liner once about him: Henry Cavill is what happens when you give a neckbeard three wishes.
Abut 99.9% of the difficulty is to make it in a way that won't appeal to weirdo racists.
I’m not even a fan of Warhammer, but I have major respect for Cavill because of his dedication to the source material. I also wish they had kept Event Horizon in the Warhammer universe, as I heard was originally intended.
I really, really, really want this to be good. If it isn't, it won't be for lack of enthusiasm for the source material, I guess?
There's just so much to cover! Not just fifty billion factions, but why this kitchen sink grim dark setting came to be!
I live me my orks. Love a good waaaaaggghhhh
They don't have to cover all of that. They can do what Arcane did for League of Legends. Don't go into the lore of everything, just pick a small fraction of it and make it excellent.
I think the problem is Henry Cavill might want to go into everything!
Good thing he's not writing it!
Plus Henry wants to paint all the characters himself.
I wonder if they'll start with the emperor's life way back in the past. Or throw us in the deep end with a haresy.
Im looking forward to the sets. The environments are insane in 40k.
They should start with a normal citizen or a guardsman. Then being saved by a space marine. But realizing that chaos is real. And then ending with them being executed for heresy.
