Nottingham-based Games Workshop has 'reached an agreement in principle' with Amazon
Cavill has spoken about his enthusiasm for Warhammer, a fantasy war game where you paint intricate miniature figures, and have them battle each other.
The Warhammer deal is still to be officially confirmed and a further announcement will be made "in due course", the Nottingham-based games company noted. To play, models and terrain need to be assembled and painted. They are used on a table-top where friends can then do battle in fantastical worlds, telling stories based on 40 years' worth of rules and backstory, created especially for the games.
Previous attempts to get a high-end Warhammer adaptation over the line have failed, leaving endless discussion in fan forums and on social media as to who could play the setting's famous characters. Financial analyst Andrew Wade, from Jefferies, told the AFP news agency this was "very exciting news" for Games Workshop, whose share price rose on Friday as a result.
