It is almost time for the first big reveal show of the year. Moreover, Games Workshop is clearly aiming to kick 2026 off loud.
So if you enjoy guessing reveals and doomscrolling sprue photos, this one is for you. Better yet, it covers multiple game systems, so almost nobody gets left out. And yes, it sounds like they are leaning into the hype on purpose.
When to Watch and Where It’s Streaming
The New Year Warhammer Preview Live airs at 7:30pm GMT on Friday, January 16. Additionally, you can watch it on Twitch or YouTube, with Adam and Eddie hosting. Since it is the first preview of 2026, the show is stacked with reveals for Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and Blood Bowl. Consequently, it is the kind of stream where you keep pausing to text your group chat.
After the livestream, all the detailed breakdowns will land on Warhammer Community. So even if you miss it live, you can still binge the reveals afterward.
The Tease Game Is Strong: Party Hints and Weird Food Photos
If you caught the earlier New Years party video from WarCom Towers, you already know they hid some hints in the background. However, they are not done teasing. While cleaning up, they “found” strange pictures of the food from the party, and they are strongly implying those images are also clues.
On top of that, there are even more pictures on the Warhammer Instagram page. Additionally, they are actively asking people to speculate, which usually means the hints are at least somewhat readable. So if you love the pre reveal metagame, now is the time to put on your detective hat and start connecting dots.
Summary
