Warhammer is great, but the community is what makes it stick. So Warhammer Heroes exists to spotlight the people who keep the hobby welcoming and alive.
From today through February 27, you can submit nominations for folks who go above and beyond. However, this is not just about running clubs or posting content. Instead, it is about selfless acts that genuinely change someone’s hobby experience.
Who Counts as a Warhammer Hero and What Makes a Strong Nomination
Warhammer Heroes is meant to celebrate impact, both personal and community-wide. Many heroes organize events, leagues, or clubs, and that absolutely counts. Yet the article also calls out those smaller legendary moments, like someone travelling across a country to deliver a forgotten unit before a tournament. Or someone lending a full army after an emergency, so another player can still get their games in.
The key is the submission form, because it is the only official way to nominate someone. Also, every submission gets read, so the story matters. Therefore, they want personal, specific, relatable details, not just a name drop.
Past Winners and What They Did for Others
Warhammer Heroes is also a way to give visibility to unsung heroes, not just already famous creators. Last year’s examples include Hannah Wilson, who leads the Warhammer Society at the University of Derby, which earned a Most Inclusive Society award. They also highlight Gustavo Darío Vásquez Durán and Ruth Margarita García López, who helped grow Orko Trotzko in La Paz, Bolivia, creating a safe hobby space for more than 200 members.
Other past winners include Lee Morris in 2024, who used Warhammer to bring London paramedics together to decompress, and JC Watts, who raised over $30,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association while battling cancer.
Summary
Chosen heroes receive a Warhammer Heroes medal, plus extra goodies like a spot on Bugman’s Bar’s Wall of Honour at Warhammer World. They also get invited to an Awards Evening, including one night of accommodation and entry for a companion. Finally, winners are contacted and announced later in the year, and you can browse more stories on the Roll of Honour. The article lists nomination windows in two places, so double check the form for the official deadline.
