Here’s your guide to everything you need to know about the Games Workshop Warhammer+ Plus streaming service to see if it is worth it!
Originally published in March of 2023. Updated September 11th, 2025, by Rob Baer with new links and information.
Games Workshop launched Warhammer Plus with plenty of noise. Branded as Warhammer+ and bundled with Warhammer TV, it promised to be the one-stop subscription for animations, hobby content, and exclusive miniatures.
A few years in, though, the question is still floating around: is Warhammer Plus worth it, and what do you actually get for your money?
Let’s break it down and answer the big three: what is Warhammer Plus, how much is Warhammer Plus, and is Warhammer Plus worth it?
What Is Warhammer Plus?
At its core, Warhammer Plus is Games Workshop’s paid streaming and content service. Think of it as GW’s attempt at building its own digital clubhouse (and not really connected to the Cavill/Amazon project). The package mixes:
- Warhammer TV animations (Warhammer 40,000 and more)
- Battle reports and hobby videos covering painting, building, and terrain
- Lore features with Black Library authors and setting deep cuts
- Digitized White Dwarf archives
- Exclusive miniatures for subscribers
- The 40k app’s Battleforge list builder
So on paper, it’s a mix of Netflix for Warhammer stories, a training library for hobby skills, and with a side of limited-edition minis.
How Much Is Warhammer Plus?
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 ranges from $5.99 to $6.99 per month, with the annual subscription priced at $59.99.
The Hook: Warhammer Plus Exclusive Miniatures
Let’s not kid ourselves: the minis are the magnet. 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.
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.
The Animations on Warhammer TV
This is where Warhammer Plus should shine, but it’s also where it’s been the most inconsistent. The 2025 lineup looks solid:
- Blacktalon Season 2
- Kill Lupercal (the Horus Heresy’s first animated series)
- Hammer and Bolter: Return to Cadia
- Astartes II
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.
Why it might be worth it:
- Exclusive miniature each year valued at around $35
- $16 voucher offsets the subscription price
- Access to the Battleforge list builder in the 40k app
- A steady feed of battle reports, painting guides, and lore videos
Why it might not be worth it:
- Inconsistent animation releases on Warhammer TV
- Hobby content is already available for free from creators
- Silent edits and shifting promises create trust issues
- Doesn’t really bring new players into the hobby, just charges existing ones more
If you’re a collector who wants that mini and doesn’t mind rolling the dice on content, a subscription can feel like a bargain. If you’re here for professional-grade streaming and rock-solid release schedules, you’ll probably be frustrated.
Final Thoughts From Us:
Warhammer Plus 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.
The smart play? Decide what matters to you. If you’re in it for the miniature and the voucher, sign up for a year and treat the videos as a bonus. If you only care about the shows, think about grabbing a one-month sub once or twice a year to binge the backlog.
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. If you expect it to compete with mainstream streaming services, prepare to be let down.
