Henry Cavill honours Jersey shop in Warhammer post

Actor Henry Cavill has paid tribute to a shop in Jersey, where he first developed his love for the game Warhammer.

On a social media post, the actor said he "decided to make a pilgrimage to the very first place I bought Warhammer models over 30 years ago.... the Little Shop, on my home island of Jersey".

In 2023, it was announced the maker of Warhammer 40,000, Games Workshop, had finalised a deal with Amazon to bring the characters and stories to the screen.

Warhammer simulates battles between armies of miniature painted models.

In 2023, the BBC said Cavill - best known for playing Superman - would be an executive producer and had signed up to appear in the project.

In his social post, he said his team and media bosses had "been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and poring over old tomes and texts".

The Little Shop in Jersey said Cavill was a regular visitor and he was very interested in Warhammer figures and paints.

It said: "We're flattered and humbled after all these years that he still remembers us.

"A few people mentioned the post to us - it's such an honour, the Little Shop is so famous now in such a big world."
