One such video clip has inundated the feed of all the Warhammer geeks out there, showing Henry Cavill - the ultimate Warhammer geek - having a wholesome moment.

Henry Cavill's love for Warhammer 40,000 is no secret at all. And knowing this, a proprietor of the local ROLEY store in Łódź, Poland, which specializes in Warhammer merchandise, presented Cavill with a very special gift. He brought a box of figurines of Cavill's favorite faction, the Adeptus Custodes, with him when he visited the Łódź cathedral, where sequences for the movie were shot. Henry Cavill's face in the video says everything about his reaction to this incredibly thoughtful present.

That is not all, though, as the Man of Steel star was gracious enough to endow them with a return gift, and it was a memorable one.

The actor autographed an Ultramarines helmet that the owner later brought to his shop and put on display. The store's Instagram has a picture of the helmet with an excited caption. 

“New store artefact blessed by Henry himself," they wrote. The store owner's gift of adoration got him a piece of memorabilia connected to the biggest Warhammer nerd himself - Henry Cavill.

The local branch of TVP verified that the team of Highlander came to Poland at the beginning of May. On the Internet, recordings and covert photos of a film crew working at the Łódź railway station are also making the rounds. Wearing a long leather coat, Henry Cavill appears to be in the character of the Scottish swordsman, Connor MacLeod, as he vigorously practices sword-fighting maneuvers.

Given that his injuries had previously caused the production to be halted, it is likely that he is now working twice as hard to complete the production in time. Talking about the action, there is little doubt that the combat scenes will have amazing choreography because Chad Stahelski, whose brilliance is largely responsible for the success of John Wick, is directing. The constant photos and videos from the set reassure that everything is going at a swift pace, while also revealing warm moments between fans and Cavill.
