It’s been more than two years since we first learned that Henry Cavill would be starring in and producing aWarhammer 40kseries with Amazon and Games Workshop. However, a few weeks ago, it was finally confirmed that the series was in development for Prime Video.
Considering the fact that Cavill is a big-timeWarhammernerd, fans believe that he’ll be able to do the series justice as it deserves. However, if the British actor really wants to win the hearts of gamers, he must consider an enemy that’s considered to be the Beta Ray Bill of theWarhammer 40kfranchise.
Henry Cavill’sWarhammer40k series needs Commander Farsight
AsWarhammerfans, we all know that the Tau are an anomaly in the40kuniverse. Seriously, do we know about any faction that’s always pushing for diplomacy and progress to seek unity in the grimdark future? The Tau want to create a grand society where everyone is encouraged to work for“The Greater Good.”
While all members of Tau are willing to lay down their lives for this path, there’s one who has crafted his own destiny, Commander Farsight. Also known as O’Shovah, Farsight initially served under the Tau Empire as a commander within their military and was a force to be reckoned with due to his warfare and leadership skills.

Unfortunately, during one of his campaigns, Farsight couldn’t see eye to eye with Ethereal, the ruling section of the Tau Empire, and their teachings about the Greater Good. Things took a turn for the worse once he encountered Necrons andChaos, which ultimately made himquestion Ethereal’s vision. Eventually, he broke away from the faction and established Farsight Enclaves.
Considering Farsight’s background in the40kfranchise, there’s no reason to doubt that he will prove to be adeadly villain in Cavill’s upcoming show. We can see his obsession with protecting his people at any cost, making some morally questionable choices, and taking the fight against the Imperium. The possibilities are endless for such an interesting figure.

According toGames Workshop, Amazon now has the full rights to develop all kinds of television series and films within the40kuniverse.
What’s really interesting is that Games Workshop has also given the“option for Amazon to license equivalent rights in the Warhammer Fantasy universe following the release of any initial Warhammer 40,000 production.”It’s quite clear that there are a lot of expectations behind this series.
However, the series is still years away from hitting shelves or evendropping us a hint of what’s to come. It’s just entering active development, and that’s how things work for film and TV series in the industry. Let’s hope the writing process doesn’t face any issues and incorporates what fans would love to see.
