Warhammer+ renews its annual subscription with two miniatures and a new Yearbook

For years, Warhammer+ has been a service that split the community. For some, it was a good way to access exclusive content and pick up a unique miniature each year. For others, the perks never quite justified the subscription price.

Now Games Workshop seems to have heard at least some of those complaints. The new Warhammer+ year, which begins on 25 August, introduces several important changes that make the annual subscription a much more appealing offer than in previous seasons.

You no longer have to choose

The big news comes with the exclusive miniatures.

Until now, annual subscribers had to pick one of the two available miniatures, and if they wanted the second, they had to buy it separately. That was a tough call for anyone who enjoys both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar.

That mechanic is gone this year. The annual subscription will include both exclusive miniatures directly, with no need to choose between them.

For the first time, the big decision is no longer which miniature to pick, but where to display both of them on the shelf.

Two spectacular miniatures

Both miniatures keep the quality level that defines Warhammer+ exclusives.

On one side we have Wrath of Macragge, a Bladeguard Veteran running an Ork through in the middle of battle. Although the official version is painted as an Ultramarine, the miniature carries no sculpted Chapter iconography, so you can customise it completely.

For Age of Sigmar comes The Plague Knight’s Burden, where a Maggotkin of Nurgle Rotsword drags an unfortunate Freeguild soldier off to some grim fate. The scene has real punch and personality, practically becoming a small diorama.

Both miniatures can be built with or without a helmet, offering a little extra customisation.

The Warhammer Yearbook joins the subscription

The second major addition comes in book form.

Annual subscribers will also receive the new Warhammer Yearbook, a large-format volume dedicated to collecting some of the best miniatures of 2026 through high-quality photographs and illustrations.

It does not add rules or essential gameplay content. But for anyone who enjoys modelling, painting, or simply collecting Warhammer books, it could become one of the most interesting gifts the service has offered to date.

Warhammer TV keeps growing

The miniatures remain the main draw, but Games Workshop continues to expand the digital content.

Over the next twelve months, four new animated series will arrive, along with more than a hundred new episodes focused on painting, modelling, battle reports, and lore. Among them, the debut of Astartes II, expected in December, stands out in particular.

That said, regional availability remains an issue for some fans.

Although Warhammer TV keeps expanding, official access still varies by country. Animated content often includes subtitles in several languages, but much of the rest of the library is English-only, which remains one of the service’s most debated aspects for viewers outside English-speaking markets.

An archive that grows more valuable every year

If a few years ago Warhammer Vault felt like a curiosity, today it is starting to become one of the subscription’s strongest selling points.

The archive already brings together hundreds of classic White Dwarf issues from 2003 onwards, plus historical supplements such as Imperial Armour, Psychic Awakening, and The Realmgate Wars.

For veteran fans, it is a huge exercise in nostalgia. And for anyone who joined the hobby more recently, it is a great opportunity to discover decades of Warhammer universe history.

Again, all of this content is in English.

The real improvement to Warhammer+ is not in a single gift, but in the sum of small perks that now start to make sense together.

More extras to round out the experience

The subscription keeps other perks that were already available.

These include:

• Advanced features for the official Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar apps.
• Monthly discounts in the official merchandise store.
• Entry into exclusive subscriber giveaways.
• Ongoing access to Warhammer Vault and Warhammer TV.

Individually, none of these perks may be decisive on its own. But combined with the two miniatures and the new Yearbook, they offer a much more complete package than in previous years.

Our take

Games Workshop has not reinvented Warhammer+, but it has taken an important step in the right direction.

Including both exclusive miniatures completely changes how the service is perceived and makes the subscription’s value increase much easier to justify.

If you also enjoy painting, exploring lore, or collecting hobby books, this may be the year when Warhammer+ finally starts to feel genuinely appealing, always bearing in mind regional availability and the language limitations of much of the content.
