Among the thousands of fans of Warhammer 40,000, there are many well-known names – first and foremost, of course, Henry Cavill. But even alongside the actor with a penchant for nerdiness, there are Warhammer fans whose hobby you probably wouldn’t expect. MeinMMO presents some of them to you.

Cavill himself keeps emphasizing this, and he is currently working on a Warhammer series for Amazon, which will likely take some time. As a lore nerd, he will certainly ensure that the series accurately represents everything.

While we can’t say exactly which army Harbour plays today, the information from back then suggests that he is a big fan of the Black Templars.
