The new year is nearly here, and Warhammer stores are keeping the freebies rolling. So, the Miniature of the Month tradition continues into 2026.
Starting January 3rd, you can snag a Battleclade Servitor for your collection. Additionally, there are extra in store perks if you are already making the trip. Meanwhile, GW is also teasing new rewards for bringing friends into the hobby.
January’s Free Mini: Battleclade Servitor Arrives January 3rd
From the 3rd of January, the free model is a Battleclade Servitor. So, the article frames it like a little ritual cleanse of heresy, plus an Omnissiah blessing. In practical terms, it is a neat Mechanicus themed freebie that you can grab in store. Additionally, it is part of that ongoing monthly giveaway while supplies last.
The article explains why these servitors exist in the first place. Tech Priests do not love free will, because it slows down efficiency. So, they often deploy Battleclade Combat Servitors on critical missions. These servitors have specialised augmentations and weapons. Additionally, what is left of their brains is hard wired for obedience. That makes them ideal operatives and bodyguards, especially when the job needs reliable muscle.
How to Claim It and the Paint Deal You Can Use Right Away
The miniatures are available while stocks last. Additionally, the article warns the model may differ from the pictured one. So, you should ask local store staff for the exact process to claim yours. While you are there, you can also use the in store Pick n Mix paint offer. You pick any 10 paints, and the most expensive one is free. So, you can paint your servitor clean and factory fresh, or filthy and battle worn.
Deathwatch Coin and a Bring a Friend Hobby Day
If you grabbed the free Deathwatch miniature earlier this month, or you just want Long Vigil energy, there is also a Deathwatch collectable coin. It is available starting January 3rd, and it is also while stocks last. To get one, you just ask your local store about the details.
The article then pushes a full hobby day idea. If you are already going for the coin and the servitor, bring a friend along. They get to pick a free intro model too. Specifically, they can choose an Infernus Space Marine or a Stormcast Eternals Liberator. Additionally, they get a painting tutorial for that model. Then, they can learn their first game of Warhammer 40,000 or Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
New 2026 Incentives and Battle Honours Progression
On top of the immediate freebies, there is a new incentive scheme coming. It will reward you for introducing people to the hobby in the first half of 2026. However, the article does not give the full details yet. So, it tells you to keep an eye on Warhammer Community for updates.
The friend you bring can also join the Battle Honours programme. This rewards them for doing a set of activities across the hobby. The key areas are Collect, Build, Paint, Play, and Read. So, it is basically a guided on ramp that pushes them to try the whole hobby loop.
Summary
This update is a simple but solid store hype package. So, on January 3rd you can grab a free Battleclade Servitor while supplies last. Additionally, you can score a Deathwatch collectable coin if you ask in store. Meanwhile, the paint Pick n Mix deal helps you get the model on the table fast. Finally, GW is clearly trying to grow the community, because bringing a friend gets them a free model, a tutorial, and a first game.
