This past week on Warhammer TV was stacked—whether you’re a die-hard Matched Play general, a hobbyist trying to push through another grey tide, or a lore nut obsessed with boltguns.
Let’s break it all down, from the leafy battles of Ghyran to the gritty workbenches of Da Mekboy’z Workshop.
Matched Play Mayhem in Ghyran: Sylvaneth vs. Nurgle
With the new General’s Handbook 2025–26 freshly released, the Battle Report team wasted no time getting stuck into a juicy 2,000-point Matched Play game. Simon and Nick took the action to Ghyran, the Realm of Life, for a clash that’s as thematic as it gets: Alarielle’s Sylvaneth defending their verdant home against the rot-infested Maggotkin of Nurgle.
They played the Bountiful Equinox battleplan—a new mission from the handbook—and leaned hard into the narrative. Alarielle herself is on the board, facing off against the bloated horrors of Nurgle in a conflict that’s been raging for centuries in the lore. It’s a great match to showcase both armies’ strengths and the new season’s rules. Expect some real tactical swings, tons of summoning, and enough vines and bile to keep everyone entertained.
If you’re looking to get a feel for how the new missions flow or how to start adapting your lists, this is a must-watch. Plus, it’s always fun seeing two armies with such a long-standing rivalry go toe-to-toe.
Big Projects, Small Team: Painting Like a Mekboy
Over on Da Mekboy’z Workshop, the spotlight this week is on the unsung heroes of Warhammer+—Andy and James, the duo responsible for cranking out studio-quality paint jobs week after week. Ever wonder how they get so many armies battle-ready on such a tight schedule? This episode spills the secrets.
They break down time-saving techniques, talk through how they split big jobs into manageable chunks, and offer realistic advice for anyone staring down a pile of unpainted models. If you’re a hobbyist juggling real life and a growing collection, you’ll walk away from this episode with some actual tools to help you stay productive—and motivated.
Boltgun Deep Dive in Weapons & Wargear
Rounding out the week is the launch of a brand-new series: Weapons & Wargear. This show is here to satisfy the inner lore gremlin in all of us, diving deep into the most iconic gear across Warhammer. And where better to start than with the boltgun?
From its original 1980s design sketches to its evolution as a cultural icon of 40K, the show covers the boltgun’s aesthetics, mechanical function, and in-universe legacy. They even touch on the logistics of how an eight-foot-tall Space Marine actually wields one effectively. It’s deep, detailed, and perfect for anyone who likes a little grimdark engineering with their lore.
Final Thoughts – Something for Every Kind of Warhammer Fan
This week’s Warhammer TV lineup had a bit of everything. A rich Matched Play battle showcasing the new GHB. A hobby segment that’s actually helpful without being overwhelming. And a lore deep dive that hits the nostalgia and the nuts-and-bolts design head-on.
Whether you’re a tabletop tactician, a brush-swinging hobbyist, or a lore addict, Warhammer+ is continuing to deliver on all fronts. And with more seasons, more tools, and more epic matchups surely on the way, it’s a great time to get stuck in.
So if you haven’t already, grab your popcorn, your paints, or your bolter blueprints—there’s plenty to watch this week.
