This week’s new episodes on Warhammer TV kick off with a climactic showdown on Ultimate Paint-off, plus there’s a tense Character clash as Arena of Death descends on the Horus Heresy.
Ultimate Paint-off
For the series finale, our four Ultimate Paint-off contestants are given a task worthy of the ‘ultimate’ title: recreating a Cities of Sigmar Freeguild Cavalier-Marshal in the iconic ’Eavy Metal style. This intensely detailed painting style is seen on all of the Warhammer box art and requires incredible skill and focus – which painters tend to have when surrounded by competition on a razor-thin time limit, of course.
Our painters will have one hour for each distinct material on the model, from metals to cloth to the horses beneath them, before being given one final hour to really strut their stuff. We don’t envy them.
Now, we do have a little task for you, but before you get into it, you’ll need to watch the episode first. Don’t worry, we’re not going to spoil anything. Hop to it.
All done? Here’s the question: Who do you think should have won? Do you agree with guest judge Aidan’s call?
Let us know who you think the true winner of Ultimate Paint-off is with a quick poll, and we’ll be sure to let them know the Warhammer community is behind them.
Arena of Death
That’s not all we have for you today, though. Over in the Arena of Death, we’re evoking some of the greatest duels ever featured in the Horus Heresy series with a Challenge Phase showdown. Classic matchups meet dream bouts in a no-holds-barred battle to claim the most victories overall, using the wild and wonderful rules for Character challenges in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.
If you’ve ever wondered which of your favourite characters would truly prevail in a duel to the death with their hated rivals, this is the place to witness it. How quickly does Sigismund chop his way through the competition? Can Sevatar get through a single fight without playing dirty? Can anyone take down Constantin Valdor?
Loremasters
Over on Loremasters, we also get close to one of the deadliest fighters of all time, as Ghazghkull Thraka returns to Armageddon once more to continue the single most prolific war of the 41st Millennium. There’s a lot to see here, and it’s the perfect way to prime yourself for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000.
Warhammer Vault
Another issue of White Dwarf has been added to the Warhammer Vault. This week, it’s issue 516 from September 2025, which was all about celebrating the 10th anniversary of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
