Back in December 2022, it was revealed that Henry Cavil had signed on to feature in and executive produce a TV series based on Games Workshop’s iconicWarhammer 40kfranchise for Amazon Prime Video.
Other than the creative hurdles, we haven’t heard much about the project since the initial announcement. It’s still not clear what direction the story might take or who our heroes will fend off. However, if this project wants to reach the same heights as theFalloutTV show, it must feature one of the greatest forces in theWarhammer 40kuniverse, the Ork ancestors, Krok.
Kroks Could Raise the Tension in Henry Cavill’sWarhammer 40kShow
If you’re unaware, in the universe ofWarhammer 40k, the Kroks are believed to be the ancestors of the Ork species. The Kroks existed during the War in Heaven, which was a massive conflict between the One Ones and Necros millions of years ago.
The Old Ones specifically engineered Kroks to help them aid in the war, and they were more powerful and larger than the Orks we see today. Not only that, but Kroks also held technology that outclassed everything crafted by the Imperium. They were capable of creating and wielding powerful weaponry and machinery on a large scale.

As centuries went by and things changed in the galaxy, the Kroks eventually devolved, leading to theOrks we are familiar with in theWarhammer 40kuniverse. Evidence suggests that modern Orks still retain many of Krok’s features, including their battlefield skills and aggression.

Under suitable situations, the resurgence of Kroks in the galaxy can happen. As of now, Ghazghkull stands as the closest approximation to ancient Kroks and towers to the scale of an Imperial Dreadnaught. If Kroks rise again, they can steamroll their way through anything that stands in their way.
Instead of focussing on already-established enemies in theWarhammer 40kuniverse,Henry Cavill and his show can put a spotlighton the origins of Kroks and their revival. We still don’t know much about these ancient forces, but one thing is clear: they’re a force to be reckoned with and can pose a severe challenge to the Imperium.
Forcing Imperium, Orks, and Elders to stand against a shared past would raise the stakes even higher and would allow the Amazon TV show to flesh out theWarhammer 40kuniverse in ways we’ve never seen before. Let’s hope Cavill and his team can recognize Kroks’ terrifying potential.
The Clock is Ticking For Henry Cavill’s Dream Project
There’s no doubt that, as fans, we’ve been eagerly waiting for the realization of a TV series with Cavill leading the charge. However, the recent statements by the franchises’ creator, Games Workshop, have completely taken everyone by surprise.
In its financialreport, Games Workshop revealed that the ambitious crossover with Amazon Studios comes down to a crucial agreement over so-called“creative guidelines,”which must be settled by December 2024.

The partnership lets Amazon hold the rights to creative television series and other aspects within theWarhammer 40kuniverse. There’s even an option for the giant to get equivalent rights to the Warhammer 40kuniverse, depending upon the success of the TV series.
Back in December 2023, Games Workshop stated that there was a one-year period agreed upon to settle all creative details with Amazon. The partnership between both companies will only head forward if the creative guidelines are mutually agreed upon.
However, this process still hasn’t happened, which has left theentireWarhammer 40kTV adaptationin limbo, with just three months left to finalize everything.
As we approach the deadline, the pressure is on Amazon and Games Workshop to work together and bring the iconic series to life on the big screen.
With that said, do you think theWarhammer 40kTV series should feature any other enemy? Let us know in the comments below.
