Fan Vote Names Logan Grimnar Miniature of the Year, Community Reveals Top Winners

Warhammer Community released the results of the 2025 fan vote for Warhammer Miniature of the Year on December 29, 2025, splitting the awards into three categories. The Warhammer 40,000 category including Kill Team was led by the updated Logan Grimnar in Tactical Dreadnought Armour as the winner. Fulgrim, the Daemon Primarch of Slaanesh, finished second, and Raven Guard Chapter Master Aethon Shaan placed third. Age of Sigmar including Underworlds crowned Prince Vhordrai Lord of the Crimson Keep as its winner. The broad Best of the Rest category covering The Old World, Horus Heresy, Necromunda, Legions Imperialis, and more went to Miao Ying the Storm Dragon from Grand Cathay. Warhammer Community thanked voters and teased additional reveals and previews planned for 2026.

The announcement included top ten lists for each category and short commentary on why individual models resonated with voters. Those lists highlight where collector and painter energy centered this year, with a clear appetite for iconic characters, bold poses, and large dynamic sculpts that work as display pieces. The presence of both Primarchs and genre spanning entries like Grand Cathay illustrates crossover interest across systems and collectors.

This matters practically. If you collect or paint Space Wolves expect increased attention on Logan Grimnar for display and competition events, and plan for more reference material and tutorials to appear online. Sellers and local stores may see renewed demand for stock and accompanying paint sets. If you create content, showcasing build guides or painting walkthroughs for these winners will match current community interest. Miao Ying winning Best of the Rest signals growing enthusiasm for models from non Western theatres of the tabletop, which can affect market values and inspire themed events.

For community organizers and tournament hosts, these results suggest strong themes to center club nights or painting contests around, and a ready audience for demonstrations or guest speakers who can walk through conversions and basing techniques. For painters preparing portfolios or commission work, prioritize pieces that emphasize storytelling and silhouette, since those qualities are reflected in the vote results.

Warhammer Community closed the announcement by thanking voters and promising more reveals in 2026. Keep an eye on upcoming previews and store restock information, plan painting schedules around the winners you care about, and use the top ten lists as a snapshot of what the community is excited to display and collect heading into the new year.
