Warhammer+ in 2026: what you get (TV, apps, Vault, mini), what it costs ($6.99/mo or $59.99/yr), and when to subscribe or cancel.
Games Workshop launched Warhammer+ with plenty of noise. Branded as Warhammer Plus and bundled with Warhammer TV, it promised to be the one-stop subscription for animations, hobby content, and exclusive miniatures.
Let’s examine if Warhammer Plus is worth it, and what you actually get for your money.
- Penitence is part of the current animation push.
- Aeronautica is on the lineup radar for fans of flying and falling.
- Butcher’s Nails is another highlight getting attention.
- More is expected later in 2026, including Astartes 2.
What Warhammer Plus Includes and How Warhammer TV Fits In
Originally published in March of 2023. Updated February 18th, 2026, by Rob Baer with new links and information.
At its core, Warhammer Plus is Games Workshop’s paid streaming and content service. It is Games Workshop’s paid hub for videos on Warhammer TV, apps, and hobby extras. It is their official digital playground (not connected to the Cavill/Amazon project).
- Annual: You want the subscriber mini, and you actually use the bundle perks, so paying once and forgetting about it is the least annoying path.
- Monthly: You mainly care about the shows. Subscribe when something you want drops, binge, then bounce.
- Cancel/Skip: If you already get your hobby and lore fix elsewhere and the mini does nothing for you, this is the easiest “save the cash” decision.
What do you get with a Warhammer Plus subscription?
- Warhammer TV (animations and shows)
- Apps (the 40k app and AoS app access varies by feature)
- Warhammer Vault (digitized White Dwarf and more)
- Subscriber exclusive miniature (annual reward-style incentive)
- Occasional perks like discounts, partner offers, or giveaways (treat these as a bonus)
Apps reality check: Some rules and library access may still require book codes, and it can vary by content, so don’t assume everything is automatically unlocked. If you’re subscribing mainly for listbuilding, it’s worth checking the current app details first (start here: Warhammer app coverage).
It combines Warhammer TV streaming, hobby videos, and exclusive subscriber rewards into a single subscription. If you want the messier side of how the bundle has been handled, this breakdown is a good place to start: Warhammer TV and Warhammer+ issues.
Warhammer Plus Price Breakdown in 2025 – 2026
For 2025, the UK price is £5.99 per month or £49.99 per year. That’s after a small price bump in the monthly tier. The yearly plan stayed the same, which works out to around £4.15 a month if you stick with it for the full year.
In the US, the cost is $6.99 per month, with the annual subscription priced at $59.99.
Quick math: annual works out to about twelve months for the price of nine.
- Best if you want the mini: annual
- Best for animation binges: monthly
- Best if you’re undecided: try one month
Warhammer Plus Exclusive Miniatures and Subscriber Rewards
How to qualify: the annual plan is the cleanest way to lock in the annual subscriber miniature(s). Monthly subscribers typically need to stay subscribed through a qualifying window, so if you’re hopping in and out, double-check the current rules before you assume you’re covered.
Let’s be real. For a lot of folks, the exclusive miniature is the main reason to stay subbed. Each year, subscribers get to pick an exclusive figure. Chaos champions, Imperial Inquisitors, sorcerers; you name it. They’re designed to tempt collectors into justifying the subscription even if the animations don’t land.
- If you’d buy the mini anyway: the sub “pays for itself” faster.
- If you do not care about the mini: judge the service on content and apps only.
If you want the full time capsule of what has been offered, this is the easiest rabbit hole: exclusive minis over the years.
The models aren’t random trinkets either. They’re high-quality sculpts that often tie into current codex releases, making them feel less like bonuses and more like must-have bragging rights. For many hobbyists, the exclusive plastic alone makes the subscription a no-brainer.
What You Get on Warhammer TV in 2025 – 2026
What’s New in 2026 (Confirmed)
- Penitence
- Aeronautica
- Butcher’s Nails
- More later in 2026
- Binge strategy: subscribe for one month when a show you want lands.
- Annual strategy: if you watch regularly and want the mini, yearly hurts less.
- Skip strategy: if you only watch occasionally, wait until there is a real backlog.
This is where Warhammer TV should carry the service, though the release schedule has been hit-or-miss. At least the 2025 lineup looked solid:
- Blacktalon Season 2
- Kill Lupercal (the Horus Heresy’s first animated series)
- Hammer and Bolter: Return to Cadia
- Astartes II (return teased later in 2026)
On paper, that’s enough to keep the sub relevant. The problem has always been delivery. Warhammer TV shows don’t always roll out on schedule, and sometimes seasons vanish into “mid-season breaks” that weren’t announced at launch. For animation fans, that frustration has overshadowed the excitement.
Is Warhammer Plus Worth It?
The real answer depends on what you want out of it.
| Worth it if… | Not worth it if… |
| You value the exclusive miniature each year (often framed around ~$35). | You want a consistent, Netflix-style release cadence on Warhammer TV. |
| The voucher and perks help offset the subscription cost. | You already get hobby content for free from creators you like. |
| You use Battleforge listbuilding in the 40k app. | Silent edits, surprise changes, and updates have made you cautious. |
| You like a steady feed of battle reports, painting guides, and lore videos. | You want something that brings in brand-new players, not just charges existing ones more. |
If you’re not sure what level to subscribe at (or if you should just cancel), here are some more tips:
| If you mostly want… | Best move |
| Animations only | Monthly, binge and cancel |
| Mini plus apps | Annual |
| Just listbuilding | Check app access first, then decide |
| Free hobby vids elsewhere | Skip unless the mini is a must-have |
If you’re an “animations-only” person, monthly usually makes more sense. If you’re here for the mini and you actually use the bundle perks, annual is the cleaner play.
Final Verdict on Warhammer Plus and Warhammer TV
Overall, it isn’t a bad idea. A subscription that mixes Warhammer TV, hobby guides, exclusive minis, and app support could be the best deal in tabletop gaming. But Games Workshop’s track record of overpromising and underdelivering makes it hard to trust.
- Verdict for Animations-Only: Treat it like a streaming add-on. Wait until there’s a chunk of content you actually want, grab one month, binge, and bail.
- Verdict for App Users / Regular Players: If you’re genuinely using the app features and you watch hobby content regularly, the bundle can make sense. Just do not assume every rule or library feature is fully unlocked without codes.
- Verdict for Collectors (Mini-focused): If you want the exclusive miniature anyway, this is the easiest justification. Everything else becomes a bonus pile of videos and Vault browsing.
Cancel/Keep decision summary:
Cancel if you only watch occasionally, and the mini does nothing for you.
Stay monthly if you want to binge specific releases when they land.
Go annual if you want the mini and you actually use the bundle perks.
Where to Get Warhammer+: WarhammerPlus.com
In the end, it comes down to value. Warhammer Plus is worth it if you treat it like a bundle of hobby perks with a side of animations. Warhammer TV isn’t trying to match Netflix’s volumes, so manage your expectations if you want it for nonstop streaming.
