Games Workshop’s new streaming service, Warhammer+, has arrived. In this article, we explain how to access and use the service. We also keep track of everything that’s released on the platform, with descriptions and micro-reviews of releases as they arrive.
How does Warhammer+ work?

To sign up, go to MyWarhammer.com, create a profile and proceed to the Warhammer+ subscription page.
What Shows are on Warhammer Plus: Content on Warhammer+
Warhammer+ is updated with new content every Wednesday, and we’ll keep updating this complete list of content every week as well. As often as we can, we’ll also add small reviews of select pieces of content, such as animated episodes we like or books that are especially great.
Animation
One of the main attractions of Warhammer+ is the ability to stream original Warhammer animation series exclusively available with the subscription. It can all be streamed on Warhammer TV.
Astartes
Astartes is a short film about a squad of Space Marines on a mission aboard an enemy ship, where they end up fighting something much stranger than the rebels they at first thought they were up against. Quite differently from Angels of Death the CGI animation in Astartes is of very high quality, so even though it’s only 13 standalone minutes, it’s a great watch.
Hammer and Bolter
Hammer and Bolter is an anthology series of animated Warhammer short stories. Warhammer+ launched with 3 episodes of the series, but more will be added regularly. The animation quality isn’t impressive at all, and if you’re not into Warhammer at all the stories will probably also feel cringy, but the series leans heavily into an 80’s/90’s cartoon style with plenty of ominous synthesizer tracks, campy dialogue, supernatural horror and gory combat scenes, so if were a nerdy kid in those decades, chances are you’ll have a great time with this series.
Episode 1: Death’s Hand
In this episode, an Imperial Inquisitor anticipating investiture on Terra runs into trouble on the way there.
Episode 2: Bound for Greatness
In this episode, an Imperal Scribe is tempted by the lure of Chaos through the presence of a book that’s not supposed to be there.
Episode 3: Old Bale Eye
In this episode, an Ork Runtherder tells the tale Old Bale Eye – the Imperial Comissar so good at fighting, the Orks see him as their favourite foe.
Episode 4: Fangs
In this episode, three legendary Space Wolves drink and play a game while they wait to see which Space Wolf apprentices will survive their hunting trials.
Episode 5: A Question of Faith
In this episode, two Sisters of Battle warriors defend an Imperial Shrine against Khorne cultists, and receive unexpected help.
Episode 6: In The Garden of Ghosts
This episode follows two Aeldari exploring a dying Craftworld after a battle between their kin and Space Marines, leading to a vision of the heroic death of their divine protector.
Angels of Death
Angels of Death is a Warhammer 40,000 animated series following the Blood Angels Space Marines. It is released episodically.
This used to be a fan project, which then became supported by Games Workshop. It features a unique CGI style with a monochrome+red color scheme that gives it its own personality. The story and acting is 280% Space Marine madness with melodramatic dialogue and a very grimdark atmosphere.
Episode 1: Blood and Duty
This first episode introduces viewers to the crew and inhabitants of the Blood Angels Flagship Sword of Baal.
Episode 2: The Silent City
In the second episode, the Blood Angels get into a fight with Genestealers and Hybrids, while their fleet in orbit is infiltrated.
Episode 3: Trail of Blood
In this episode, the carnage continues.
Episode 4: Awakenings
In this episode, the Blood Angels squad get into serious conversations, and the Genestealer Cults employ even stronger forces against them.
Episode 5: Tempest
In this episode, the series goes back in time as we meet one of the most famous Blood Angels characters.
Episode 6: Against the Horde
In this episode, we finally get to see what happened to the Captain the squad is searching for, and the Blood Angels get some unexpected help.

Battle Reports

These are condensed battle reports with very high production values and lots of explanations for new players.

Digital Books
The Warhammer Vault website, which requires a subscription to Warhammer+ to log in, contains a backlog of older Warhammer publications such as magazines and campaign books.

Magazines
The Warhammer Vault also contains older Warhammer magazines. There are some recent White Dwarf issues there, of course, but the real treat so far is the digital re-release of Warhammer Visions, an older magazine dedicated entirely to painted models rather than rules and stories. It’s great for painting inspiration.

Apps
A Warhammer+ subscription gives access to several Warhammer Apps:
Warhammer TV
This is the app for watching streamable content such as animated series, battle reports and painting videos. The app is free, but much of its content is exclusive to subscribers.
Warhammer 40,000: The App
A Warhammer+ subscription comes with a subscription to the Warhammer 40,000 app, which gives you access to rules and an army builder for the tabletop game. Be aware that you still have to buy physical rulebooks to use their rules in the app.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The App
This app is a part of the subscription, and is currently available in a beta version that basically does what the Warhammer 40,000 app does, but for Age of Sigmar.
Subscriber bonuses
The subscription also comes with several extra bonuses. The subscription sometimes features time-limited prize draws, which we won’t list here, but everything else will be listed.
Free Miniature
If you subscribe for an entire year, one miniature of your choice will sent to you. This will be either an Imperial Assassin or an Orruk Ironjawz Megaboss.
£10 Voucher
When you subscribe for one month, you also get a £10 Voucher for the Games Workshop Webstore.
