Get a free new 40k Leagues of Votann Yaegir mini alongside the latest GW coin promotion for the May 2026 Warhammer miniature of the month!
That’s right, it’s back again, and it’s FREE! Each month, Games Workshop offers a free Warhammer miniature of the month at their stores based on the latest faction release, along with a promo coin offer.
It’s a fantastic way to try out new painting techniques or start a new faction without breaking the bank.
Here are all the details on that free mini offer, along with a few more promos from Games Workshop in May.
Free Hernkyn Yaegir Miniature of the Month Promo: May 2026
Updated on April 27th, 2026, by Rob Baer with the latest promo details from GW.
- May 2026 free mini is a Leagues of Votann Yaegir: grab it at a GW Warhammer store while supplies last.
- $100 spend gets the coin: if it’s in stock, the Commissar Yarrick coin should be yours with a $100+ purchase, simple as that.
- When available: GW says the coin and mini will be available on May 2nd.
- Overseas assembly rule: in Australia, Europe, New Zealand, and the UK, you’ll need to assemble the free mini in-store.
- More freebies and side quests: bring-a-friend gets a free Stormcast or Infernus Marine, plus the Million Miniatures Challenge is still running.
In May 2026, the free Warhammer miniature of the month is a Leagues of Votann Hernkyn Yaegir model. Keep in mind, we never really know if the Warhammer store will crack open a unit box for the free model or if you will get a single miniature on its own sprue.
Why You Should Grab It:
Hernkyn Yaegirs are the kind of Leagues of Votann infantry that instantly sell the whole rugged space-dwarf prospector vibe. They look practical, heavily kitted, and just characterful enough to stand out without turning into a cluttered mess of pouches, lenses, and tiny sci-fi widgets. The sculpts have that classic Kin feel, with chunky armor, expedition gear, hard-worn weapons, and enough detail to make each model feel like they’ve actually survived a few bad days on a hostile rock.
On the hobby side, keep the palette focused and let the gear do the talking. Give the armor, fatigues, weapons, and leather straps their own clear tones, then use a strong wash and a few crisp highlights to make all those hard edges pop without making the paint job feel like a second job.
GW’s Commissar Yarrick Coin Promo For May 2026
This Commissar Yarrick coin will be available starting on May 2nd. If you’re trying to return to Armageddon in 40k, this might be the time to go spend $100 and get a coin to show off at your next game! Plus, if you’re there for the new Warhammer miniature of the month, it will launch on the same day.
How to Score Your Miniature of the Month & Coin
The Citadel collectible coin promo and free miniature of the month are both only available while supplies last, at your local Games Workshop Warhammer store. Which means you might be able to get the coin and the free mini on an all-in-one trip, which is cool.
Either way, all you have to do is visit the store, and if it’s in stock, the coin should be yours when you spend $100 or more, no matter how you slice it.
Latest Changes for the Promo
Don’t forget that the rules for this promo overseas changed, too. If you get your mini in Australia, Europe, New Zealand, or the UK, you will need to assemble it in-store. We’re honestly not sure why the change occurred, but if you’re in any of those countries, you can’t just walk out the door with it like here in the States, sadly.
More Free Warhammer Miniature of the Month Style Offers
In addition to their Warhammer Miniature of the Month promo, Games Workshop also has a miniature to score if you bring a friend with you to a corporate store!
They can choose either a free Stormcast Eternal or an Infernus Marine push-fit miniature, and start learning how to paint it right there at the store!
Million Miniatures Challenge
Games Workshop is also running two new hobby promos in 2026 alongside the Warhammer Miniature of the Month: the Million Miniatures Challenge (pledge to paint 25, 50, or 100 minis between January 17th, 2026, and May 9th) and a referral side-quest called Call to Arms (on Jan 3, 2026) that rewards you for bringing new players into a Warhammer store.
If you do have a store nearby, pick a pledge you can realistically finish, keep your tracking card updated, and show up early because “while supplies last” usually means “blink and it’s gone.”
Free Miniature Offer For Lt. Titus Is Still Happening
You can’t get this one at a Games Workshop store, but you can score a free Lt. Titus Miniature with the new Warhammer 40k Character Encyclopedia that is on sale right now over on Amazon.
Final Thoughts on the Latest Warhammer Miniature of the Month Promo from GW
Sure, the Leagues of Votann have plenty of chunky little space-dwarf firepower already, but getting another Kin model for free is never a bad day in the mines. It’s a perfect excuse to test a new hold color scheme, mess around with armor panels, or see how grimy you can make that gear look before it starts feeling more Necromunda than Votann.
And honestly, even if Leagues of Votann isn’t your thing, who’s ever complained about a free miniature landing on their desk?
Either way, May’s free Warhammer miniature of the month and collectible coin offer is a great opportunity to visit your local Games Workshop store and bring a friend along.
