Warhammer+ subscribers will receive two minis each year and other new rewards, prompting a subscription price increase.<\/p>\n

Warhammer+ subscribers are in for some changes<\/a> starting next month. It\u2019s a mixed bag but, on the whole, positive. Since its launch five years ago, Warhammer+ has offered annual subscribers a choice of one of two special edition miniatures each year; one for 40k, one for Age of Sigmar. Starting August 25th, subscribers won\u2019t have to choose and will instead automatically receive both figures and an all new \u201cWarhammer Yearbook.\u201d However, the price of the subscription has modestly increased, a piece of information that was only released separately.<\/p>\n

Subscription Rewards<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s new minis are a very cool pair of figures, and it\u2019s certainly nice to no longer have to make a hard choice between them. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a few years since Warhammer+ offered a Space Marine figure, but this is a return to form. The \u201cWrath of Macragge\u201d is a sterling entry in the long tradition of Space Marines doing knife crimes to hapless orks. The Warhammer+ sculpts are typically small dioramas, as well as gaming pieces, and this one is no different. While the Bladeguard Veteran is painted in the livery of the Ultramarines, the sculpt itself is chapter-agnostic for you to use in whatever kind of Space Marine army you like. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Plague Knight\u2019s Burden,\u201d on the other hand, offers a moody little piece of storytelling. A hulking Rotsword, a devotee of the Maggotkin of Nurgle, makes his ponderous way off the battlefield dragging behind him the prone body of a defeated Freeguild soldier. Or maybe he\u2019s pulling him to safety? No, probably not.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, an all new reward is coming for annual subscribers. <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Warhammer Yearbook\u00a0is a new addition to your subscription for 2026. This is a lavish, coffee table-style annual packed with photos and artwork celebrating the worlds of Warhammer.<\/p>\n

I find this a surprisingly compelling incentive. I love a good miniatures coffee table book<\/a>, so a little annual retrospective will be a welcome addition to my collection. <\/p>\n

The Price of Change<\/p>\n

All these rewards are great, and the original videos on Warhammer+ are a pretty solid set of content in and of themselves. I\u2019m particularly keen on their very detailed painting tutorials, in particular. However, the price of the subscription is modestly increasing.<\/p>\n

We wanted to give you a heads up that monthly subscriptions will also be changing in price from $6.99 to $8.49 per month. The price of an\u00a0annual subscription\u00a0will change from\u00a0$59.99 to $74.99 \u2013 the equivalent of 12 months for the price of 9.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This information was not shared in the Warhammer Community article but only communicated to existing subscribers via email soon after the article was published. Look, $1.50 more per month is really trivial, especially with the addition of a second miniature and art book. <\/p>\n

I personally like the service and will happily absorb the increase in price, but it does rankle me a little that Games Workshop felt the need to segregate that information from today\u2019s article. It\u2019s 2026, and the price of virtually everything has increased, and that includes the production costs of video content, animated or otherwise. Still, the value proposition of the subscription is more compelling to me with the new set of rewards and content, and I\u2019ll be sticking with it for now. <\/p>\n

Do you subscribe to Warhammer? What do you think of these changes?<\/p>\n
