Do you all know any celebrity that plays 40k ? Tell me if you knew

I only know that there are a few celebrity who play table top wargame from The Hobbits. I am sure it is red head who play as dwarf.

do he play 40K? I have no idea!

On the subject of The Hobbit, I believe I've read Peter Jackson plays 40k, with DKoK, which makes s sense as he is maybe the only man rich enough to afford a full FW guard regiment.

yeah! I heard they play warhammer while making the hobbits. that how I find out about that, but no idea which warhammer and who?

Robin Williams was a 40K Ork player.

Only a theory but pro wrestler Bray Wyatt refers to himself as The Eater of Worlds and has made vague imperial refetences in his long cult like promos

I heard he also had Eldar.

I heard mel gibson has a very large IG army, but does not play. he just likes the models.

So sad that we have to use the past tense now. He was the classic example of a celebrity 40k player, as well as a brilliant actor.

And I'm sure I heard that Will Smith plays some sort of tabletop game...

Vin Diesel has Black Templar.

That guy from that Hunger Games-ish movie that girls like plays 40K (and Fantasy too, I think).

IIRC, Billy Crystal is also a 40k player. He and Williams were good friends.

Hm, didn't didn't know about that! Do you mean Divergent or something like that? It is basically Hunger Games -1.

All list who play warhammer + WH40k I find on Internet by the text....

- Robin Williams (rip)
- Christopher Lee
- Will Smith
- Peter Jackson
- Bruce Willis
- Megan Fox
- Billy Cristal
- Brian May
- Hulk Hogan
- Mike Mayers
- Matt Groening
- Robin Williams
- Ben Afflec
- Matt Damon
- Marilyn Manson
- Jacques Villaneuve
- Stephen King
- Jack Black
- Metallica
- Vin Diesel

If that's true, Christopher Lee just got even cooler! The oldest living musician to have a top 40 hit, one of the most epic voices on the planet, flipping Saruman and a 40k player!

Yeah, the Divergent guy!

I did meet vin diesal once in LA when reading a 40k novel. He commented and said he played too.

I'm not 100% if he plays/collects or not, but Ron Perlman is a huge mega nerd, to the point his kids at one point were embarrassed by how truly nerdy their dad is!

At a LotR event in Toronto years ago, I found out that Bruce Hopkins' (aka Gamling) son was a big 40k/LotR player. We ended up getting Craig Parker (Haldir) into the Space Wolves & Gaunt's Ghosts novels as well.

Wait, so he plays 40k while alive and dead?

Robin Williams for perpetual.

About a year ago, Robin Williams did a reddit ama, where he said he had several armies, but that he hasn't actually played

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1n41x1/robin_williams_its_time_for_a_convoluted_stream/ccf7lsn

I never knew Warhammer was this popular (I bet they can field entire regiments).

Vin Diesel plays BA. Once he went into a GW in so cal, bought a bunch of stuff and asked if they could shut the store down for a couple hours so he could get a game in without being bombarded. Of course they said no, but he definitely plays. I've heard Bruce Willis has the largest IG army in the US which wouldn't surprise me. Lots of musicians play, probably far more than we know about publicly.

Maybe we should indoctrinate more... We'll pick someone, find out their address, and then everyone start posting them individual Space Marines, with nothing but a note that reads "one of us!" (that should at least make them curious). Then we just keep bombarding them like that until they agree to play.

One funny man.. And other one is singer I guess?

Singer is ROBBIE not Robin.

Don't ask me. I just copy it off website and I have no idea who are singer fame. I only watch action fantasy and sci-fi..

This pops up every now and again.

Here's the same thread from 2012. =D Some names in there you might know.

In the end of Enemy of the State he and his son are sitting on a couch reading over a GW flyer or White Dwarf.

Christopher Lee is actually the reincarnation of Charlemagne. I am putting this out there now.

He was also a member of the irl Dark Angels back in WW2.
