Warhammer plushes are far cuter than they have any right to be

Warhammer is going from strength to strength, with a TV adaptation starring Henry Cavill in the works and millions diving deep into the creative, tactical hobby on the daily. Well, if you’re in the crossover section of Warhammer fans who also love cute things, you’re in luck.

On June 21, Warhammer revealed the next set of plushes which will be available to purchase later on in the year. These are in addition to the three currently available from Tomy, bringing the total of adorable little monsters to seven. 

And oh boy are these little monsters adorable indeed. There really is something for everyone, no matter which army you choose to bring to the tabletop. Let’s take a look at all seven, with a comparison between model and plush for each.

Little Unclean One

Available: Now

The plush version of the Great Unclean One is far cuter than the model version, but the model version is one I have a huge soft spot for, as I poured so many hours of my time painting one who I dubbed ‘Betty’. 

Spanna Grot

Available: Now

Modeled after the countless Grots in any Ork army, the Spanna Grot comes equipped with his very own adjustable wrench, ready to charge into battle and bash some heads. I can imagine him hanging off the side of an equally squishy Boomdakka Snazzwagon, yelling obscenities.

Gnasha Squig

Available: Now

Listen, I have a huge soft spot for Squigs of all shapes and sizes, having painted countless for my Gloomspite Gitz army. While my own were an assortment of rainbow colors, this plush Gnasha Squig comes in the standard red, complete with a single horn and floppy tongue. 

Tyranid Ripper

Available: Later in 2024

My first Tyranid army was painted in Hive Fleet Leviathan colors, so I’m incredibly excited that this Ripper is of that theme. Rippers might be the cutest of all Tyranids, I mean let’s face it, these bugs aren’t about to win any beauty pageants, but they’re about as deadly as they come. Fortunately, the plush version is more cuddly than killer. 

Watcher in the Dark

Available: Later in 2024

The model for the Watcher in the Dark comes as part of the Dark Angels army and is a very tiny, incredibly annoying to paint, little thing. The plush version is also small, though you can see his power armor boots poking out from his robes. He also comes holding a MkVI helmet, though I don’t want to know where he got it from. 

Nurgling

Available: Later in 2024

I make no secret of it – this is my favorite Warhammer plush to ever exist, I love it, and it will be joining my collection as soon as it releases later on in the year. Nurglings appear in huge numbers across the entire Nurgle army, but this one is modeled after one Nurgling in particular, which comes as part of the kit to build a Plague Marine Champion. It’s so sassy, I can imagine it putting me in my place.

Sun of Shyish

Available: Later in 2024

I’ve never gotten around to painting my Malign Sorcery set, but it’s been on my to do list for years. Now, even if I never get around to painting my Sun of Shyish, at least I’ll be able to hug one. While you’re free to paint your own any color you choose, and I’ve seen a lot of really really badass looking paint jobs over the years, the plush version comes in the standard purple coloration.

Servo Skull

Available: Later in 2024

Servo Skulls are fashioned from the former skulls of adepts, who obviously no longer have a need of them for one reason or another, so that they can continue to serve the Emperor of Mankind after death. Thankfully, the plush variety Servo Skull is far cuter and much more unlikely to try and kill you as you sleep.
