Warhammer is the king of tabletop gaming, drawing in fans across the globe including Witcher star Henry Cavill, who has spent some of his quarantine time painting Warhammer figures. The franchise has spawned a number of video games, including Total War: Warhammer 2, which now has an easter egg featuring the superfan Cavill.
The DLC for Total War was announced after a cryptic tweet on May 6th, and features two warring Lords, Eltharion the Grim leading the Yvresse High Elves and Grom the Pauch commanding over the Greenskins' Broken Axe Tribe. The two Lords will introduce a host of factions, objectives, mechanics, units and playstyles to their campaigns, giving players plenty to chew on. Even three years after release, new content is being produced for the popular game, and now on the eve of the DLC's release, it appears Henry Cavill is set to make his Warhammer debut.
The Witcher star, who is set to appear in a new movie called Enola Holmes, is featured in this latest DLC for Total War as a High Elf Loremaster going simply by the name Cavill. The character is a Loremaster of Hoeth with the 'White Wolf' ability, granting Cavill a +15 bonus against large types and granting the potion of toughness ability.
Cavill (the actor, not the High Elf) has been riding high lately, having starred in the surprise hit of this past winter over on Netflix. The Witcher captivated audiences, drawing in fans of the immensely popular Witcher video game series, those who had read the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, and a host of new folks as well. While the premiere of the second season of the show is a little up in the air right now, the wait should be worth it.
The extra time waiting for more Witcher gives fans time to speculate about just what may be included in season 2. It also means that folks will have more time to dive into other properties featuring Cavill, like Total War: Warhammer 2. The new DLC, "The Warden & The Paunch," arrives May 21st giving players the ability to order High Elf Loremaster Cavill around all they want.
Total War: Warhammer 2 is available now on PC.
