Games Workshop has announced the winners voted for by the fans for Miniature of the Year in their respective categories. Let’s see who won!
The votes have been cast and counted. It’s time to find out which miniatures won their categories ranging from Warhammer: 40,000, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, and Warhammer: Pretty Much Everything Else*. I wonder if we’re going to have any major surprises…so let’s get to the different categories and see who actually pulled off the votes needed to win!
*The actual categories included were: Warhammer: The Old World, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, Warhammer Quest, Legions Imperialis, Necromunda, and Blood Bowl.
After another year of incredible miniatures, we asked you to vote for your favourites of 2025 – and vote you did, by the thousands. The winners have now been decided across the three categories: Warhammer 40,000, which includes Kill Team, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, incorporating Warhammer Underworlds, and the Best of the Rest.
Warhammer: 40,000 – Miniature of the Year 2025
The updated Logan Grimnar won this time around beating out some stiff competition. Personally, I’m a much bigger fan of this version that the previous sled-riding one. That said, GW did show off the top 5 miniatures as well as list the ones that were in the rest of the top 10.
Fulgrim’s new Daemon Primarch 40k miniature scored 2nd place while Aethon Shaan the Raven Guard’s new Chapter Master snagged 3rd.
The 4th place winner was the new Phoenix Lord Lhykhis while Lord Marshal Dreir of the Death Korps landed in 5th. Here’s the list of the rest of the top ten miniatures:
Warhammer: Age of Sigmar – Miniature of the Year 2025
In the Mortal Realms the winner for this year was Prince Vhordrai’s new miniature. Death had a pretty big showing overall and this kit in particular was really popular for AoS fan.
I really like that the simplicity of Urkhan, The Dark Warden managed to beat out the rest of the list to get second place. And hey, look who got third — it’s the Revenant Draconith, which is really just the same Prince Vhordrai kit but without the rider…
The Dominator Engine ranked fourth while the Wight King on Skeletal Steed ended up at fifth place. Death taking 3 out of 5 of the top slots is pretty impressive! If you were expecting more Helsmiths I was, too. They did rank well in the top ten:

Warhammer: Everything Else
This one was a very broad category so the competition was very fierce. However, I think it’s not much of a shock to see which miniature took home the win.
The Old World has it’s fans and they certainly came out to vote for the the Jade Empire who racked-up a few spots in the top 10. Miao Ying claimed the top spot, but really it’s two miniatures, so I feel like that’s a little sneaky.
The Saturnine Praetor made a great showing claiming the 2nd place spot. I’m a little confused as to how GW is classifying Warhammer Quest: Darkwater here in 3rd. In the article they say “Taken as a whole, Warhammer Quest: Darkwater and its overwhelming array of miniatures comes in third.” So does that mean they grouped all those together? If Maio Ying getting first with two miniatures is sneaky, then this feels like cheating…but oh well.
The Saturnine Siege Dreadnought landed at 4th with a powerful thud. That miniature is huge for what it is. But it’s not as massive as the Sky Lantern which floated into 5th place.
Finally, we have a look at the rest of the top ten:
Whew! That’s a lot of miniatures. Looking back over 2025 we’ve had quite a year from Games Workshop. I’m still wondering what’s on the docket for 2026. Hopefully it’s going to be an even bigger and better year for the miniatures!
