Henry Cavill is a household name because of his incredible performance as Superman inMan of Steeland Geralt inThe Witcher. What might shock you is that he’s an avid gamer and aWarhammer 40kfan. He’s so enthusiastic about the franchise that he’s been working hard to make theWarhammer 40kTV series a reality, but the project has been in development limbo for a while now.
Luckily, Cavill has confirmed that theWarhammerproject is in full swing now, and we’re to be treated with more news soon. Cavill and his team must do justice to the show and bringWarhammer 40kfans what they’ve always been demanding. One of the best ways they can please the community is by putting the spotlight on the Badab war, which shattered the very fabric of reality.
Warhammer 40kSeries must feature the Badab War
One of the most devastating warswe’ve ever seen in theWarhammer 40kfranchiseis undoubtedly the Badab war. It was a conflict that took place during the latter half of the 41st millennium and was kicked off by the Astral Claws Chapters under the leadership of Chapter Master Lufgt Huron.

Huron didn’t take any of Imperial tithes, stating strained resources, and decided to push for secession and formed the Tryant’s Legion and other forces. In this bloody war, the loyalist Space Marines had to go against Astral Claws, Mantis Warriors, and Executioners. Its sheer scale and use of the most advanced weapon left devastating impacts on both sides.
Even though loyalists triumphed in the end, countless soldiers lost their lives, and Astral Claws were wiped out. The Badab war was more of a localized conflict and ended quickly. However, if the loyalists hadn’t pushed themselves to the extreme, the war would’ve undoubtedly escalated further, spanning into a galaxy-wide civil war and turning into a second Horus Heresy.
There aren’t manyWarhammer 40kmediums, such as games and novels, that dig deeply into the Badab war. However,Cavill and his team can change everythingand, alongside the series’ main plotline, focus on the Badab war and its after-effects on the Imperium. Such a deadly event needs to be showcased on the big screens.
What Henry Cavill’s confirmation means for theWarhammer 40kseries
Warhammer 40kseries’ development comes in at a perfect time for Amazon, who would’ve been forced to give up the rights to the project if it hadn’t agreed with Games Workshop.

It’s likely that the franchise will begin its journey by bringing a TV series giving players a look into the dark sci-fi world. Given therecent success ofWarhammer 40k: Space Marine 2,there are many mediums producers can consider other than the original tabletop game.

The show should begin by first exploring popular factions such as Space Marines and then slowly working its way to other forces working for the Emperor of Mankind.
There’s a chance we could see Custodes,and even female ones, considering Game Workshop’s decisionto bring female warriors to the scene earlier this year.
Who knows, Prime Video’sSecret Levelshow, which features aWarhammer 40kepisode, might pave the way for Cavill and his team and even tell us what to expect from the series.
