The Warhammer Plus streaming service is Games Workshop’s official subscription club for Warhammer fans. It bundles animated shows, hobby tutorials, battle reports, app access, and exclusive miniatures into one monthly or yearly fee.
What warhammer plus actually is
Warhammer Plus launched on August 25, 2021, as a niche streaming and membership service covering both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar. It’s more than a Netflix-style video platform. Think of it as a subscription bundle: animations, TV shows, digital lore, premium app features, and physical rewards.
The video side lives on Warhammer TV, which hosts over 600 episodes across roughly 20 shows. You’ll find battle reports, painting masterclasses, lore deep-dives, and behind-the-scenes interviews. The animation library has grown to more than 75 episodes across 15 series, including Angels of Death and Hammer and Bolter.
Price and subscriber rewards
A subscription costs $6.99 / £5.99 per month, or $59.99 / £49.99 for a year paid upfront. Annual subscribers get their choice of limited-edition miniature, plus the Warhammer Yearbook. Monthly subscribers can still claim the mini, but only after 12 consecutive months.
The miniatures are a big part of the appeal. Past years have included Inquisitor Ostromandeus for 40k and Marshal Ashfield for Age of Sigmar. The 2025-26 pair are dioramas: Infinity’s Lament for 40k and The Summons for Age of Sigmar. These minis later go on general sale, usually around $45 / £28.
| Year | Warhammer 40k miniature | Age of Sigmar miniature |
|---|---|---|
| 2022-23 | Azrekh the Annihilator | Karlina Von Carstein |
| 2023-24 | Unbroken | Karlina Von Carstein |
| 2024-25 | Inquisitor Ostromandeus | Marshal Ashfield and Squire Udo |
| 2025-26 | Infinity’s Lament | The Summons |
Apps, vault, and other perks
Subscribers get premium access to the official Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar apps. That means unlimited army building and full datasheet access, which is genuinely useful if you play regularly.
The Warhammer Vault is a digital archive of decades’ worth of books, back issues, and lore. There’s also a monthly 15% discount voucher for Merch.Warhammer.com, plus partner offers and subscriber-only giveaways.
Why it matters (and the controversy)
Warhammer Plus landed at an awkward moment. Games Workshop had just announced a zero-tolerance policy on fan animations, which led popular creator Bruva Alfabussa to shut down If The Emperor Had a Text-To-Speech Device. Many fans saw the service as a corporate response to fan-made content.
That tension has faded somewhat, but it’s worth knowing if you’re weighing up the subscription. The service is decent value if you’re deep into the hobby and want the mini plus the app access. If you’re only curious about the animations, a month here and there might be enough.

FAQ
How much does Warhammer Plus cost?
It’s $6.99 / £5.99 per month, or $59.99 / £49.99 for a year upfront. Annual subscribers get a free limited-edition miniature and the Warhammer Yearbook.
Do you keep the miniature if you cancel?
Yes. Once it’s shipped, it’s yours. But you need to stay subscribed for the full year (or 12 consecutive months on monthly billing) to be eligible in the first place.

If you want animations, lore shows, and app access in one bundle, yes. If you mainly want the miniatures, it can still work out cheaper than buying them separately later.
