The Witcher and Superman actor Henry Cavill is passing his time in self-isolation by proving his geek bonafides on social media, namely by painting Warhammer miniatures.

In an Easter message to his followers, Cavill posted the image below to his Instagram account of him painting a helmet for a Warhammer figurine: "Considering we are, both, going through the Easter period, and going through The Lockdown, I figured it a good time to put a silver lining onto the cloud that is some of the darker moments during this time," Cavill posted. "So I've decided to polish some old skills and try my hand at some new ones! It is a time of rebirth after all."Cavill went on to profess his love for Games Workshop, the British miniature wargames company behind the Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000 fantasy game titles:"So, as you can see here, the obvious might look a little bit like a tiny helmet...which it is. One of my almost life long hobbies, that I've been following but not actively doing, is this. A company called Games Workshop...or plastic crack as 'we' call it. Genuinely can't get enough of the lore they have built over the decades. They have been some of my most enthused reads! If you were in denial about me being a geek before, you can't hide from it now."You can also see a computer monitor behind Cavill's with a document being written so it appears Cavill is working on a story of his own while in self-isolation or, as he puts it, "there may just be some completely new skills I'm working on.....or there may not be, so all of your eye squinting and attempts at digital unfocusing will be in vain....orrrr maybe they won't."Henry Cavill will return as Geralt of Rivia in Season 2 of Netflix's The Witcher, which will introduce several new characters familiar to fans of the books. Production on the next season, however, is currently on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
