This is Warhammer 40,000
The inaugural mini-series from the Niche to Meet You podcast, coming January 19th
About a year ago, Actor Henry Cavill announced a partnership with Amazon to produce a series called Warhammer 40,000.
It’s likely you glazed over this information if you came across it—its not the sort of thing that gets attention like Amazon’s recent Lord of the Rings series Rings of Power, but deep in the trenches of tabletop gaming, there was great rejoicing. For, in the same game shops and homes that Dungeons and Dragons is being played, there’s another game lurking that boasts an entire universe of characters and wars and worlds…and it’s called Warhammer 40,000.
How do I know about it? My husband reads the books. There are hundreds of them. He’s read them for YEARS. I didn’t know until about a year ago that they were based on a fantasy tabletop war game, well-known enough to garner an Amazon film franchise.
Thus, as a lover of all things niche, I began my casual research into this hobby. I had thought perhaps it would be an interesting episode for a potential podcast…and as I sunk further in, I realized this was much….MUCH bigger than a single episode.
Nay, Warhammer’s story is best told in-depth over a 4-part mini-series.
And, I barely scratched the surface.
Episodes release weekly starting January 19th. Listen to the teaser now:
