Celebrate the Return of Ushoran With a Free Cryptguard, and Earn a Black Library Coin

Every month, you can visit your local Warhammer store to collect a Miniature of the Month for free (while stocks last). From the 3rd of February, you’ll be able to claim a valorous Cryptguard.

These hunched men-at-arms swarm around the noble abhorrants who lead them into battle, bravely protecting them from the enemy. Their foetid weapons are steeped in vile energy that can drive even the staunchest warriors to madness with a single cut.

Ask your local store staff how to claim one. If you’re looking for some new paints to use on your new ghoul, you can take advantage of the Pick ‘n’ Mix paints offer – simply choose any 10 paints, and get the most expensive one free. 


Due to shipping delays, this month's Miniature of the Month may be delayed by a few days in Europe and Asia. It will be arriving soon, please contact your local store for details.

The Warhammer painting team has some paint recommendations to get your Cryptguard prepared for battle. Starting with a Grey Seer spray undercoat, you’ll need Rakarth Flesh, Pallid Wych Flesh, Morghast Bone, Stegadon Scale Green, Thondia Brown, Leadbelcher, Ratling Grime, Skrag Brown, Flash Gitz Yellow, and Word Bearers Red. With those in hand, you can follow this painting tutorial below to get your flesh-hungry ghoul – er, your faithful household soldier – ready for battle.

This month’s collectable coin is themed after the logo of Black Library, whose shelves are stuffed with fantastic Warhammer fiction. Ask your store staff how you can get your very own Black Library coin from the 3rd of February – just in time for this year’s Black Library Celebration.

If this is your sixth collectable coin, you’ll also be able to claim a free album to store and display your collection in, while stocks last.

A trip into your local store to claim your goodies is the perfect chance to make a day of it and introduce a friend to Warhammer – and they’ll get some fun stuff too! 

They can choose between an Infernus Space Marine and a Stormcast Eternals Vindictor, get a painting tutorial for their new model, as well as learn how to play their first game of Warhammer 40,000 or Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

After this, they can get involved with the Battle Honours programme, which rewards them for diving into a series of fun activities based around the key areas of the Warhammer hobby – Collect, Build, Paint, Play, and Read. Check out all the details right here.

Finally, every store celebrates its anniversary each year with fun activities and all sorts of exclusive items available. There are two brand-new anniversary miniatures for 2024, which you definitely won’t want to miss out on.

Find your local store with the Store Finder below, and ask your local staff about their anniversary and how you can take part.
