Get free PDF downloads on the Build Instructions site if you need manuals for your Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, or Horus Heresy kits.

Don’t struggle with your builds anymore. If you pick up a model from the secondary market or lose your instructions, building your models can be a severe pain! That’s where these guys come in clutch. They have thousands of kits on the site, meaning pretty much anything you could need to build for Warhammer, they have it. Plus, you can download them for free, so there is nothing wrong with that.

Build Instructions From Games Workshop & Forge World Kits:

If you have a Games Workshop model and require the instructions, you can always try to email them at custserv@ gwplc.com. In the past, many readers reported that they would send you a PDF back. However, generally, they will require an order number if you are asking for Forge World or their new Expert Model 15+ kits.

Warhammer Build Instructions 2024 Update:

They have been only running for a little over a year now and have already helped a ton of people with their instruction needs. Best of all they almost already have almost a full range of product manuals from Games Workshop for Warhammer and more! Here’s a little from them about how their last year has gone and what they still need help with:

BuildInstructions.com launched just over 1 year ago (in the week before NYE 2023), and since then we’ve grown to hit the following numbers:

3,110 catalogued Games Workshop products – across Age of Sigmar, Horus Heresy, 40K and beyond!

Downloadable PDF instructions for 1,940 of these!

10,000 monthly visitors now on average.

31,700+ Orders checked out, with over 58,400 PDFs downloaded!

If you have any copies of instructions which we currently don’t have, please get in touch and send them across. You can send any digital format (e.g. PNG, JPEG, PDF etc.), or even post us the paper copies – we’ll do the clean-up and PDF ourselves, and are happy to cover postage costs 🙂

You can check the site to get a list of what they still need your help with!

Score Tons of Warhammer Instructions PDF With Build Instructions!

Here’s a little from the Build Instructions team, about the site and project:

Our Library of PDF Instructions and How To Guides is always growing as we look to help support the wider Warhammer community and promote the hobby.

Paper print copies of Build Instructions are typically included in all new box sets, but if you pick up models from secondary marketplaces such as eBay then it can often be hard to track down the instructions you need to build your favourite models.

That’s where we come in…

If you have any construction booklets or build guides which you no longer need – why not donate them to the community and send them in to our team so that we can make them available for more Warhammer hobbyists to enjoy.

All PDF files in our online library are completely free to download.

We’ve also spent considerable time preparing them, making sure that they are high quality (High Res), and have a small download size (MBs). Digital downloads offer a way to go paperless, and amongst other advantages are easy to use, easy to store, and access across devices.

Build Instructions has a ton of 40k stuff on the site and almost everything in the range. They are still missing some, though, so if you see one you have the instructions for, think about sending it in!

You can also quickly search by faction or name to find exactly what you need.

For AoS, they also have an insane number of instructions, but again, why not send it in if they don’t have something and you have it?

They even have a decent number of Horus Heresy instructions, but not quite as many as the other two game systems.

If you have any manuals that they don’t have, you can send them in to help them expand their collection even further. Overall, it’s a fantastic resource for Warhammer 40k hobbyists who need instruction manuals or PDFs.
