Warhammer 40K will suffer the same fate as The Witcher if Games Workshop keeps on blaming Henry Cavill

I hope Henry Cavill does leave it. He'll be more beloved by most of us as a guardian of the franchise, not a bystander to it's destruction.

I went to Japan and ended up in a Warhammer shop, I knew of it. My buddy just started collecting and was trying to get me to get some figures. I was hesitant because it seemed a little nerdy and painting that small was foreign too me. I looked in that shop for 15 secs browsing and the the owner came up to me and just started talking about his favorite models he's painted and shows off his massive array of models, he said "you want to try?" a bit of a language barrier but google translate was working its magic. So I tried a paint trial. Ended up loving it and talked about lore for another 30 min, he then said he wanted to gift me a small starter set and a model holder, I told him to save the starter set for later and bought the bigger starter pack (kept the model holder lol). I sat down at the bench and started reading the booklet inside and IMMEDIATLEY 4 people came up to me and asked "just starting?" one from Germany, Austria, Finland, and even a Russian, (Im from US) All of them immediately started talking about different units, species, timelines and the amount of lore the Warhammer universe has. The community is one of the most friendly I've ever seen. Everyone plays a bad guy so they know its all for fun. Now with almost finishing the starter set I think much more will be on the way. Thanks to Tokyo Warhammer store and its owner!

"In The Grim Dark Future Of The 41st Millennium There Is Only Romance." Yeah, not feeling it.

They want us to believe that Cavill, the mega-nerd who has repeatedly proven that he values dedication to source material, is to blame for the bad retconning? What a joke.

"I just want to be treated like one of the guys," *Gets treated like one of the guys.* "Sexism!"

I've never understood *any* of this; I was a girl who was into things like the Phantom comics since I was like 8 - never once did I think any of my areas of interests should change because of my gender -- this has all just gotten so much worse, & it's just ridiculous -- _why_ are these people so moronic? I'm hoping they **don't** have as much power in the adaptation (God forbid we end up with a new Rongs of Plop situation) -- & I truly hope that the adaptation isn't wrecked, by all the outside sh^t - I really do want Henry to have a win...

Back in high school in the 90's me and my (guy) friends were into video games, tabletop miniature games like 40k, comic books, etc. Despite that, we weren't stereotypical geeks. We did sports like water polo, swimming, soccer and track, we were honor students in the best gifted program in the state and we had driver's licenses and our own cars. We weren't football stars, but we were far from being losers. AND YET whenever we brought up our hobbies the girls would all immediately check out of the conversation and look at us like we were the most pathetic creatures in existence. And if you mentioned that you played, or were even interested in, D&D you'd instantly become a pariah. Back then girls would walk past hobby/game stores and look at them like they were open septic tanks. So whenever I see these women claiming that video games, or TTRPGs, or comic books or any other facet of geek culture was suuuuuper important to their childhood I can only say "Bull. Shit."

If women wanted women exclusive gyms, shows, sports, etc, nobody would argue. The moment anybody suggest men should have men exclusivy spaces... the world burns.

Two greed-ridden corporations blaming one of the most liked and respected actors in the world for their deceit, yeah, good move.

If Amazon want to make a communist warhammer series why they don't use a Tau cast and their creepy "Greater Good"

I have canceled my Warhammer plus subscription because of this shit I will not be paying games workshop unless this is changed.

i was taught 40k by a 70 year old woman with a tyranid army worth like 15k >.> all the dudes in the hobby shop praised this woman and called her kerrigan lol

None of this is Henry's fault. His only error was having faith in Amazon.

Henry is just like us in that he genuinely loves this stuff and is watching the shit he loves get destroyed just like we are. The only difference is he is so much closer to it all and even unwittingly becomes used in its destruction by the destroyers because he is just so eager to take part in it. I love Cavill and hate this is happening to him. I hate that it is happening to all of us. Woke-ism is the worst thing that has ever happened to our culture. We haven't had this degree of censorship, re-writing of history, and targeting and alienating people for disagreeing with a single ideology since the cold war when neighbors reported neighbors they didn't like as being "communists" trying to get them fired, ostracized, or disappeared by the government. We are heading back to the same place. The only difference is, this time it isn't being led by the government, it's being led by the Blackrock corporation.

If anything, Henry Cavill was the lightbringer for new fans. Now he's the lightbringer for true fans to leave the cesspit.

Leave Henry Cavill alone

Henry Cavill got fucked over by James Gunn and WB By Netflix and now by the own game series he said he’s loved since he was kid. Damn.

As a woman; my first experience with Warhammer was just before Corona. I entered the store looking for a new hobby. The moment I entered I was encountered with nothing but friendlyness. They explained the hobby to me and told me about the book. I love sci-fi and when they told me about the books and the best way to start getting into the lore was to read the Horus Heresy. So that day I left the store with a starter pack of Space Marines, brushes, a White Dwarf magazine and a the audiobook of Horus Rising. I drowned myself in the lore and started watching all the RU-vid videos of mini painters. All I saw in this hobby was passion from the people and that's how I always experienced it. I'm also a gamer since I was little and of course sometimes you encounter the nasty people online, but that is also a small percentage we are talking about. I think men are getting demonized a lot of times in this hobby and in gaming, while I experience nothing but kindness from them most of the times. Willing to explain and help. I think it's all about your own attitude and mindset. I love the Warhammer lore, it's amazing, it's a beautiful grey area of good and evil. I think adding romance to it, ruins it, for that you have fanfiction or pick up a romance novel, or even better go out and get your own romance going. Then female custodes, what to say bout that... let's be honest, it was just a broherhood. The sister of silence were the "female" custodes and GW did them dirty. So much lore and models you could have added to them with the new release. We also have amazing range of strong females in Warhammer overall, with strong lore and beautiful and interesting books to support them, like the Sisters of Battle. We don't need female Custodes. We don't need real life politics in the hobby. I want to escape reality, not being confronted with it in my hobby. I think these type of "movements" just split men and women even more instead of pulling them together and enjoy something together.

Henry cavill should cut his losses and say" f#ck games workshop, I'm making a helldivers movie".😂😅

These people aren't real. I've been in these spaces for over 20 years as a woman and the worst I've experienced is no worse than I've seen men act to one another. You can't go into a fandom of millions and not expect to find some inappropriate behaviour somewhere. It's literally impossible. Time and time again I've seen my likes and hobbies changed to make them more inclusive, even for my own gender and without fail it worsens them. Every. Single. Time. Never stop gatekeeping. Do not give even a single inch to these self-centered, self-righteous people.

This is the third time in recent memory that a hobby or franchise has been destroyed shortly after I decided to get into it. These people ruin everything.

The tweet really said : Make love, not Warhammer. It's baffling...

I met the mother of our 15 year old son gaming on Guild Wars. She is a great gamer, no matter the game. Sadly she passed away 7 March 2024.

TOO RELIGIOUS? Amazon said the Sisters of Battle were TOO RELIGIOUS??? Holy shit. Tell me you don’t know warhammer without telling me you don’t know warhammer.

The adepta sororitas being too religious... THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT AMAZON

I just really feel bad for Cavill at this point. He really wants to make a good show based on the things he really love (IE: The Witcher and now WH40k.). But he always ends up getting the bad end of the stick. I wouldn't be surprised if changed his main army to Lamenters at this point.

I like how 3d printing has become so affordable. Get woke, go broke.

So let me get this straight. Amazon is more worried about representation than actually producing a "lore" specific show. That should send warning flags to all fans.

First superman, then witcher now warhammer. Man, Cavill cannot catch a break

New Flash: it is in fact NOT Henry's fault.

my friend summarized this drama as "its like telling a Tea enjoyer that their Tea should have more caffeine in it"

Amazon is to be blamed, not Henry Cavill. That's a poor spin.

"3D's printers exist and we don't need you to make figures." Is the biggest threat ever and it's amazing.

To quote the little German boy: "Oh mein Gott, the Codex Astartes ist EIN BUNCH OF BULLSCHEISSE!!"

God that checklist on how women are "suppose to be represented" was so insufferable that it's probably true.

Oh man, Henry Cavill cannot catch a break. The most infuriating part to this is that women are already represented in the hobby. Multiple armies have female units and there is an entire female army that already exists in the game.

Henry Cavill saw what woke hires did to The Witcher and now he's like: "Hell nah!"

How much more do they want to make Henry a hero? He was already Super man and the Witcher; he is defiantly climbing the ladder of gamer respect!! Seems like he is on point a lot!

"Now that they know that you're going to bend the knee, they're going to keep pressing". Well-said sir. Excellent video, as usual.

Imagine ruining an entire franchise just to find a loophole in Henry's contract for a show about said franchise, just in an attempt to make that show ruin the franchise even more... and then blaming the person who was like the spokesperson for you, and you didn't even hesitate to exploit him at first, and then abandon them. The only reason someone should ever try to understand these kinds of people is just so we can document how to avoid this level of stupidity in the future.

DOH !!!!! I am a female. I play Warhammer 40K board games and work on Warhammer minis with my teenage son. DOH! As Charlie Heston once said " Keep your goddamn dirty WOKE hands off my game".

I went to a gaming store a few times (the same one) where they were pretty rude and dismissive towards me whereas they were cool with guys, even my friend I was with. So I asked a ton of questions and left without purchasing anything. I didn't confront them, per sé, but I made sure to use up their time and then just walk out after I gave them several chances to be nice to me and them choosing not to. I wasn't offended, I merely decided not to support them with my money.

I just want my escape of reality to not be political. I love this hobby and hate seeing it now on the front line of the woke war

I'll never forget that 343i BRAGGED about hiring people who hated Halo. We can't gatekeep franchises who are self sabotaging. Just gatekeep our wallets from any of their new junk.

How to update Warhammer 40k for modern audiences: 1. Remove the war stuff, war is triggering. 2. Hammers are patriarchal male coded, and so are eagles and skulls. Replace with pride flags. 3. Remove the xenophobia. Why is the Empire so xenophobic? Why are the elves so white supremacist? Change it all. Xenophobia is bad and bad things are bad. 4. Bugs are good. People are bad. Tyranids were always the hero faction. 5. Are we committed to the 40k as a millennium? Why not set it in the present day?

Something I hadn’t thought about is the convenience of it being Custodes getting women all of a sudden. He’s said it numerous times in interviews, Custodes are Cavill’s army of choice. It’s awfully convenient that the first place Amazon looked to change was Cavill’s favorite faction

I honestly couldn't even watch this video because even discussing the problem that the developers will create in their own universe is a Heresy bigger than Horus to me. Any work, novel, animation, animation, film, where the Heresy will be depicted or mentioned, will be NOT Canon, should be completely ignored, ostracized. Even mentioning "this" on the forums should be strictly prohibited. I say Enough, we will not allow another one to slander and destroy our beloved universe. We have already buried Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, The Witcher, World of Warcraft, what else do we have to tear from our hearts? Warhammer endures, it must endure, for the sake of us all. We should talk to all the writers and animators who created this universe, they should stand in line with the fans, because only together we will save the Emperor. The Emperor suffers for us all, it is time to repay him.

Henry Cavill just needs to make his own entertainment studio.

"How to stop teenage girls from playing..." Not a huge loss. Most of them aren't interested in games, because they demand longer attention span than Tick-Tock videos do.

When my friend agreed to play Elden Ring with me it was one of the best experience. Experiencing the game second hand through her experience is amazing. I really doubt someone would be discouraging new players, especially women from participating in WH, Magic etc.

I HIGHLY doubt people who complained about WH40k being too fascist is interested and actually wants to participate in WH40k in the first place. Most if not all WH40k fans became fans in the first place is we became fascinated with this grimm dark universe where there is only war

Women "too religious" in a story that literally embodies the terrors of religious fanaticism on the human side...

$1000 on Abigail's story happened only on paper for this article. I have played since 1990s and never have I seen a GW employee say "If you don't know what you want, why are you here?" Quite the opposite, a newbie is like blood to a school of sharks. The GW staff will try and sell you EVERYTHING, male, female or otherwise.

Wow dude you have been enlightened in this one xD first the sephora analogy that already had me LMAO and now the Gamer-Country analogy. Let me tell you something @EndymionTv the whole situation either in hobbies or in the real life serious stuff, all comes to the realisation we are about to reach a crossroad as a species. Where there will be people capable that understands the harsh realities of life and dysfunctional people that doesn't understand nor they want to do so and either thru omission or outright ill intention is gonna be a threat to those who understand... It's the proverbial separation of the wheat from the tares (hope I translate it correctly but I think the meaning is easy to get) I see it all days as I look into people and the world around me, there's people you can talk and even when you do not think the same you can talk and get to understand each other and work together and there is deranged and degenerate people that they are not interested in any sort of agreement or compromise and you actually have to be cautious because they are clearly possessed by madness or outright evil. It's not only they are trying to corrupt warhammer they are trying to corrupt everything and there's only and End to it, to make us sleep destroying and subverting all good concepts and virtues like epicness or heroism, all things related to men and to make men strife and desire to be better and greater. Because in order to take down our civilisation they have to make people unwilling to defend it.

Hey Endy, just a quick thing. There actually have been female space marines, but it was discontinued for several reasons. One of them, was that they werent as good as the males, due to the limits of their physiology. And (more importantly) they were subject to much more extreme and often cases of mutations and incompatibilities with the geneseed. There is a theory that one of the lost primarchs was a female, and it was her geneseed that was supposed to be used for female space marines, as the opposite would be the case here (in relation to the first issue), but GW never confirmed (or denied) that theory. Also, a female space marine was almost non distinguishable from the males, with the exception of size. They werent as large, but their musclemass enhancement meant that they looked like the males, in form of bossom, and so on. And since most marines (with exception of the wolves at least), have their genetalia removed, that wouldnt have made any differences for the females. In fact, that was one of the ideas behind the female marines, that because you could remove the baby making portions in their stomach, you would have more room for implants and such. And i apologize for any miss spellings. I am dyslaxative, after all :p

The irony -- that a company called "Amazon" is opposed to "sisters of battle."

Inclusion has become a dirty word meaning corruption. This will not go away quietly

The fact that someone even thought of or pushed for a warhammer tv show was a mistake period. Did we need it before? no. Were players and hobbyists content with just painting their minis, meeting new people and roll dice with them as their armies clashed? Yes. Did we ever need TV show or a movie now? No. The fact that it was going to become a TV was going to be a big L for fans whether Henry Cavill was producing it or not. When I learned that 40k was going to have a show made by amazon the only thing i thought was, "oh great rings of power in a war torn future." and when someone said Henry Cavill was producing it, my response was "I have nothing against the guy, but he's one person against forces bigger than himself." Anyone who thought that the presence of Cavill was going to keep the show true to lore was only fooling themselves. Never ever give something you love to places like Hollywood, it'll just get warped into something you'll hate later.

This is my first time finding your channel & I really enjoyed your video. As a female (by birth), I don't have any problems with the way Warhammer is set up. My problem isn't being a female, it's that right now, I simply cannot afford to play. I was looking forward to getting into it, but with all this garbage about retconning things to make females more prominent, no thanks. I don't need to play a game that is a reflection of our society. I can watch the news for that.

DC told him that he'd be returning as Superman, only to immediately take back their word Netflix ruined Witcher, and made him a side character in his own show. And now this. Henry doesn't deserve this.

For 10,000 years Games Wokeshop has suported 3d printing minis and it has always been part of the lore.

I wouldnt be surprised that when they say "blame Henry Cavil" they mean literally "we're doing this specifically because of him" as if his history for standing up for what he believes and his admission of being a custodes player is somehow a coincidence

Amazon it is your fault for why this backlash is happening, not Henry Cavil.

I won't lie. I'm so happy that Arrowhead has taken the stance of "A game for everyone is a game for no one." when it pertains to Helldivers.

We as a community should re-word what this really is, "lore preserving" or "lore preserver." The word gatekeeping has got very popular and yes warhammer used to be that kind of gatekeeping where people didn't like new people to the Fandom at all where nowadays if someone, even a lady or kid came into GW, they would be helped and given a friendly vibe towards them a new Comer from other patrons. When I was a kid or even took a break and came back in high school there was gatekeepers that didn't like me because I missed a edition

I am a big OG Star Wars fan and after its downfall found Warhamer 40k. I may not be a Fan of the painting stuff but instead of the novels and I am Shocked that it seem like that the new Franchise I just found for me begins to do the same downfall as Star Wars...

To be fair being at war against GW is the most warhammer thing ever.😂

My respect for Henry Cavill only grows.

Problem is Games Workshop want new players because new players mean more $$$, so yes lovehammer 40k, girlhammer 40k, kidhammer 40k and other is including in the lore if they see fit, all is for more $$$. Also Game Workshop is the lore, it can come out lost lore that suddenly prove that there is a female Adeptus Custodes history.

“Playing video games a s a woman is always a struggle”?!? OHHHHHHH, boooooooooooo, hooooooooooo. I’m a 63-year-old woman who has NO problem playing OR selling video games in the retail business! 🤨 Plus, I’m in a Pathfinder group that has members across the globe that is close-knit and doesn’t care who you are as long as you have fun and are respectful.

That article with the girl who went to the WH40k store...that story is totally made up. It's like the trope in movies where a black person pulls up to a diner or gas station in the south and the locals are all like "we don't like yer kind in heeeere". It's overused and totally unrealistic. She took that trope and applied it to a nerd wargames store - that's it. I'm calling total BS on that.

About 10-20 years ago I used to play MMORPGs and lie that I'm a girl. (I'm not, I'm a guy) I get showered with gifts all the time from randoms trying to impress me. Those were my shameful catfishing days lmao

You know what really upsets me? No Machine Gun Barbie, no Chainsaw Ken! That's something that really needs a change!

GW: “I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT!”

The crazy thing is that it will start by brute forcing female space marines in the lore, which no one will likes, then they will come out with the models, that no one will buy, then they will call us all bigots and fly away to go and scar another franchise.

How can they accuse henry???? That man has done more for that franchise that’s those pdg who spit on fan 🤦🏾‍♂️

This is so simple.... if a company says your product has to change or they won't help make it, go to someone else. Lucas did it with the original Star Wars, and decided to make it himself after being told "Star Wars won't make it big without X, Y, Z...".

"..if you let a group that only wants hugs and cuddles..." wrong, they dont care about that AT ALL, its about control.

I genuinely believe this "games journalist" lady just straight up made up her story. I was BRAND NEW to the hobby last December and EVERY SINGLE game shop I visited without question was honestly stoked that I was interested and gave me everything I needed and was super helpful and encouraging and nice. I literally can't even imagine the situation she described happening in a real life Warhammer shop.

expressing that Christians and catholics are very different entities is the truest and most boss thing ive heard in a long time. I am now officially a fan

21:26 "Inclusion is a good thing." There it is. The pledge of allegiance. He kissed the woke boot. No it isn't. "Inclusion" has only been destroying everything it touches.

There were no female Custodes, ever ! The canon was pretty specific about that. To change it on a whim to cater to Amazon’s greedy demands for ESG ratings and DEI scores is not only insidiously wrong but downright pathetic. It’s a slap on the face and a kick in the groin to all the actual WH fans out there who love and care about this IP and the lore on which it is fundamentally built on. If you cannot understand that, then you are the problem, and in many way the cancer on society as we know it ! 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️

Warhammer is making the exact same mistakes as others who have gone down this path . It’s only a matter of time before the IP is completely ruined by weirdos.

To be fair, Star Wars was already garbage before Disney bought it. Anyway, I am not sure how will this affect the table top in the long run (probably will not) if the GW side does not release any of these new changes into it. As far as I am concerned, I will just keep painting my Adeptas Sororitas, while being a real life atheist.

We don't blame you Henry. Walk out if you feel like it. We would.

I am willing to bet BOTH of my kidneys that the clerk just asked if she is looking for something speficifically and everything is just in her head.

"Romance should be the centre of every 40k novel" I'm old enough to remember when removing romance from the story was a progressive position.

Gatekeeping happens everywhere. My niece wants to play basketball, there’s this girl at school who says she sucks and shouldn’t play. Her parent is supposedly a pro coach, so naturally this girl thinks she’s god’s gift to basketball, and all others must be worthy in her eyes.

People like Abigail always seem to appear only when something is a hot topic.

Cavill stood up to a Hollywood Exec when they screwed with "The Witcher" This is Hollywood striking back at Cavill for standing up for what he believes in and the lore he wants shows to stay faithful to in their adaptations.

We all know what we must do. It has been recorded during the age of apostasy, when that one ecclesiarch starts using the sisters of battle…

i swear the ppl now a days wouldnt survive cod lobby i grew up in. they would end up unalivng

They've reverted that Emperor quote back to what it actually is as "These men are my bodyguards"

Games workshop: "I had wads of cash being pressed into my hands! What was I supposed to do?!" The fans: "Have a spine!"

HC: I will cooperate if you don't change the lore GW: *Changes the lore* HC: Okay, peace GW: *Visible confusion*

Also, I'm calling it now: one of the deleted Primarchs will be female. A "lost" all girl space marine legion is now only a matter of time.

As a girl have NEVER had to turn off my mic as, nor have I ever been harassed for being a girl gamer. The only time that happens to me is when I’m in a party full of nothing but friends and we’re JOKING AROUND.

Even IF Cavill spoke too soon, imagine saying the integrity of your decades old franchise was been ruined in 2024, by the excitement of a fan/actor wanting to your lore specific movie. GW is just saying we were always willing to sellout, but we had to sellout harder thanks to Henry. Ridiculous.
