If you are a Witcher fan, you will know exactly who Henry Cavill is. He plays the main character of Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix series of course. He is also known as the White Wolf.
Henry Cavill is also known to be a huge fan of everything gaming. One of his most loved titles being Warhammer. According to his personal Instagram post in April, he has been spending most of his COVID-19 quarantine time painting Warhammer figurines and is a big fan of the new installment: Total War: Warhammer 2.
Creative Assembly, the studio that is creating the new DLC called The Warden and the Paunch has taken note of this fandom and in an attempt to tip their hat to him, they have created a character modeled after him.
His character has been named Cavill Loremaster of Hoeth, but his fans would have had his character named Eltharion, High Elf Prince of Yvresse, having joked along those lines previously.
Creative director of Creative Assembly, Richard Aldridge has told PCGamesN that he thought it would:
“be fun to somehow inject [Cavill] into the game, like we have with a number of developers over the years”. The decision came after Aldridge noticed that the actor “mentioned that he enjoys nothing more than firing up Total War: Warhammer or painting a few models in his spare time”. Aldridge added that “[The DLC] felt like a good time to include Henry, and what better way than having a mighty Loremaster of Hoeth by your side with a few personal special traits to play with when starting a campaign as Eltharion,”
Cavill Loremaster of Hoeth will be a playable character having an ability called White Wolf that will grant a +15 bonus vs large, as well as “advocate” which gives a +3 untainted to the local province.
The Warden and the Paunch DLC will launch tomorrow the 21st of May on Steam at $8.99 or at about R165.00. The DLC will be released for PC, Mac, and Linux. The original Total War: Warhammer 2 was released by Creative Assembly studios in 2017.
This Homage to Henry Cavill is an addition to the Warhammer franchise that I’m sure many fans will appreciate as He is a well-liked Pop culture icon.
