Did your head spin or hurt while writing all that geeky stuff? lol

Yeah. I wrote it quickly, so I could go lie down. Thank goodness HC's hot, because this geeky stuff he likes isn't doing my brain any good.

@Blue-Rose said:

OK. But why the exec. prod. quote too?

Wrong quote. Should have been this one:

While there’s no details public about the possibilities for those future collaborations on the Warhammer Fantasy universes, it’s certainly a tantalising prospect for fans of Age of Sigmar and Warhammer The Old World.

Thank goodness HC's hot, because this geeky stuff he likes isn't doing my brain any good.

I see. I guess the golden Angel Ann mentioned will have to do.

That's my future livelihood, smart arse, not my hobby. I don't have nerdy hobbies. The closest thing to a nerdy hobby would be me lusting over HC's geeky butt.

@Blue-Rose said:

They should do some sort of multiverse, so HC can play three characters.

They can do, let's say, a vertical multi-time-verse. There's time-travel to past, now and future in one universe.

They can do, let's say, a horizontal multi-dimension-verse. There's dimension-travel among different universes existing at the same time.

In both types of verse, a universe consists of several worlds.

In both types of verse, there are two other variants of a person (so three), they all look similar, but they don't have the same name or job.

You had your geeky undies on, huh? That sounds doable. Although, all the CGI, armors and world building already look very expensive.

Henry Cavill Teases "Big Things" for His Warhammer 40K Series on Prime Video

"Warhammer is progressing very well," Cavill said. "Big things are happening, and we are very excited." The brief statement is Cavill's first public comments about the project, which he is an executive producer of, since Games Workshop confirmed that Amazon Studios had signed the contract to adapt the world of Warhammer 40K into a live-action project.

Cavill has long been a Warhammer 40K enthusiast and he's spoken out many times about his fandom of the grim dark game setting. In addition to having his own army of miniatures (he plays as the Emperor-guarding Adeptus Custodes, for those keeping track) and occasionally posting pictures of various novels he's reading, he's also visited Warhammer World, the factory/company headquarters of Games Workshop in Nottingham.

Interestingly, Games Workshop mentioned in their most recent financial filings that their agreement with Amazon Studios contains more than just Warhammer 40K. The financial filing also disclosed that the agreement includes provisions for Amazon to also make live-action projects set within the world of Warhammer Fantasy, the company's original fantasy setting. Amazon hasn't made any public comments about adapting Warhammer Fantasy, but it could mean that Cavill and Amazon have lots of Warhammer to keep them busy for years to come.

I think we all know Sam Rockwell's confusion.

COLLIDER: I'm gonna ask the most serious question of the day, Henry. What current computer are you rocking?

CAVILL: I've recently just upgraded everything to the new MD5, new chip, new motherboard and 4090 as well.

ROCKWELL: What are you, a software engineer for God’s sake?

CAVILL: Yeah, everything is new. I upgraded the whole thing.

ROCKWELL: I don't know what he's talking about.

See, I'm not the only one who gets a headache from HC's geeky side. A perk of being the side piece is that I'll only have to deal with the lickable side of HC. His gf will have to deal with his geeky side.

Henry Cavill says heading up the Warhammer 40,000 cinematic universe is 'the greatest privilege of my professional career'

"It is the greatest privilege of my professional career to have this opportunity," Cavill said of the big-budget Warhammer 40,000 project, which he will both produce and star in. "I can't say too much, again it's early days still, but to have this opportunity to bring it to the screen and be at the tiller so it can be faithful, is key to me.

"This is the stuff I've been dealing with since I was a kid. This is the stuff I spend my free time daydreaming about, as an adult as well. And I get to bring it into life. And there is no greater reason that I joined the industry than doing something like this, and I'm very happy to be here."

His comments might come off to the casual observer as those of a guy trying to make lemons into a fine English ale, but Henry's Warhammer fandom is legitimate and well-documented. He spent his quarantine time during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic painting Warhammer miniatures; he has a little cameo in Total War: Warhammer 2; he interrupts interviews to talk about Warhammer; and if you happen to get a Warhammer reference wrong, he will politely but firmly correct you.

Games Workshop Annual Report 2024 [from May 29, 2023 to June 2, 2024 -- published in July 2024]

Review of the period - licensing business [pg 10]
Warhammer IP is rich, vast and endless so as we do more projects, it’s important that we are focused on exploiting it all and that we can always defend the ownership of our IP. We always work with partners that understand that their IP representation continues to be respectfully aligned to ours. We do understand that we are not funding these products nor do we own them, so this is a relationship built on trust. During the period, we transferred the approval process for managing our IP with licensing partners to the management team at the heart of Games Workshop, our Warhammer Studio. This will ensure our views on what our IP representation is, comes from our experts.

Our strategy is to exploit the value of our IP beyond our core tabletop business, in multiple categories and markets globally. We intend to ensure Warhammer’s place as one of the top fantasy IPs globally. The main areas of focus are:

Entertainment
As we announced in December 2023, we have entered into an agreement with Amazon Content Services LLC (‘Amazon’), a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., for the prospective development by Amazon of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe into films and television series, together with associated merchandising rights.

Under the terms of the agreement, Games Workshop has granted exclusive rights to Amazon in relation to films and television series set within the Warhammer 40,000 universe, together with an option for Amazon to license equivalent rights in the Warhammer Fantasy universe following the release of the initial Warhammer 40,000 production.

Games Workshop and Amazon are working together for a period of 12 months, ending in December 2024, to agree creative guidelines for the films and television series to be developed by Amazon. The agreement will only proceed if the creative guidelines are mutually agreed between Games Workshop and Amazon. We will update you accordingly.

Can the drama geeks relax? And outlets eager for clicks should quit trying to rile them up too. They're a faint-hearted bunch.

GW had tot write something about their Amazon deal in their yearly report. As you can see below, they wrote the same thing in their half-yearly report, which was published in January 2024. That was just a month after the announcement was made.

Games Workshop Half-Yearly Report 2023 [from May 2023 to November 2023] -- pg 8:

Licensing business

Media
As we announced on 18 December 2023, we have signed a contract with Amazon Content Services LLC for the prospective development by Amazon of Warhammer 40,000 universe into films and television series. We remain confident we will bring the worlds of Warhammer to the screen like you have never seen before.

Games Workshop and Amazon will work together for a period of 12 months to agree creative guidelines for the films and television series to be developed by Amazon. The agreement will only proceed once the creative guidelines are mutually agreed between Games Workshop and Amazon.

Seems 225,000 Gamers Have Joined Henry Cavill In Playing Space Marine 2 On Release

It’s official: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is now in full release, and to the surprise of no one (especially not Henry Cavill), the game is already a massive success. Within just a few hours of its full launch, the game had already seemingly effortlessly sailed well past 225,000 concurrent players on Steam and holds a very positive rating across more than 27,000 user reviews.

Now, having 225,000 concurrent players is already a crazy feat. Still, it’s even wilder when you consider that the game was released in the middle of the American workday and on a Monday workday, no less. So, if you were stuck in a long queue yesterday while the person at the counter was click, clicking away behind their PC, now you know why.

This middle-of-a-work-day success is also a major bounce-back for Space Marine 2, which was sitting at a mixed review on Steam when the advanced access period first went live on September 5.

However, many of these negative reviews were just prompted by Epic Online Services installation, and the review-bombing campaign was short-lived when players realised that linking accounts is entirely optional.

There is also quite an exciting lineup of content heading to the game, with four seasons of paid cosmetics and free gameplay updates planned, including new maps, weapons, enemies, and a horde mode.

The first major Space Marine 2 update is set to roll out later this week with multiple crash fixes and improvements aimed at addressing CPU overheating, server issues, and render bugs.

Noah Lyles Dreams Up a “game night rotation” With Henry Cavill Amid the Buzz for Warhammer 40K Adaptation

Noah Lyles recently sat down for an interview with Mixed Feelings after winning the Olympic gold medal for the 100m race in Paris. When asked about his “Dream game night rotation,” the athlete shared that he is big into Catan, survival board games, and Magic: The Gathering with his usual crew- which includes his girlfriend, his brother, his brother’s girlfriend, and two friends. But if he had to bring someone new to the table, it would be Henry Cavill, whom he referred to as “the actor who played in Man of Steel.”

Lyles pointed out that Cavill is a “big Warhammer fan," and that he would be a natural fit for the games he plays. “I like people who are passionate about the game,” added the 27-year-old.

To celebrate some Warhammer news, I decided to make a pilgrimage to the very first place I bought Warhammer models over 30 years ago....the Little Shop, on my home island of Jersey!

My incredible team and I, alongside the brilliant minds at Games Workshop, have been working away in concept rooms, breaking down approaches to the enormity and magnificence of the Warhammer world. Together, we've been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and poring over old tomes and texts. Our combined efforts have led us to a fantastic place to start our Universe, which has been agreed upon by those up on high at both Amazon and Games Workshop. That starting place shall, for now, remain a secret. Watch this space, though—more to come in time!
