Top 10 Wargaming YouTube Channels

Your dice are rolled, your miniatures are painted, and your rulebooks are dog-eared beyond recognition. Now all that's missing? A YouTube rabbit hole filled with battles, brushes, and brutally honest hot takes. This list is here to spotlight the Wargaming YouTube channels that bring you closer to the action, the strategy, and the glorious chaos of tabletop warfare.

Some channels go hard on narrative campaigns that feel more intense than your last Netflix binge. Others give you deep-dive tutorials, painting guides, or rules breakdowns that actually make sense without sounding like a legal briefing. A few just exist to make you laugh while your army gets obliterated turn two.

These creators have earned their following by grinding through hours of editing, modeling, and rule-checking. Now it's your turn to shape the battlefield. Cast your votes for the channels you think deserve the top spots.

1. Tabletop Tactics

   A new, exciting channel with a cutting-edge style. It churns out at least two high-quality batreps a week, with very cinematic intros and special effects. They offer great painting tutorials and weekly list analysis.

   Excellent quality videos and tutorials, with plenty of regular content to keep you coming back. I love the engaging list analysis, and they have by far the best-painted armies.

   Brilliant explanations! Very good skills, lots of updates, and very lively. The channel host is effortlessly cool. Keep it up!

2. MiniWargaming

   Where else can you get such a wide variety of videos? Loving the Deathwatch campaigns just out, and even the Dark Heresy roleplaying somehow works.

   Their regulars are all quite different, and they have regular guests who can be very amusing. Mitch springs to mind for general silliness and knowledge of the game. You can even go and play them in Canada if you want, as they are 100% a professional outfit.

   A wide range of videos and people making them too. Excellent battle reports and reviews.

3. StrikingScorpion82

   Possibly some of the most in-depth and best batreps on YouTube, with some interesting videos outside of that. Sort of like Miniwargaming, but more focused on batreps.

   Very fun and fluffy lists, focusing more on the narrative rather than winning at all costs. The quality of the paint jobs is breathtaking, and the theatrical video editing just rounds it all off.

4. Golden Throne Wargames

   A new channel, so don't be put off by the subscriber count. Although they have a lack of battle reports, aka "batreps," they have excellent review series and easy breakdowns of rules, along with videos on Warhammer, Warhammer 40k, and Dropzone Commander. Just get some of those batreps up!

5. Tabletop Minions

   Best audio and great thought pieces.

   I love these videos on this channel, and I'm into wargaming myself.

6. Beasts of War

   Covers many wargames and has excellent, thorough discussions with knowledgeable people on the channel, including some awesome special guests.

7. Fritz40k

   The best. It's like talking 40k with a friend. He puts a lot of effort into addressing all the different facets of the game.

   Sometimes a little informal, but maybe that's good! They have some excellent videos, but their professionalism is the only thing lowering their place on this list.

8. Joey Berry

   Or "Warhammer Joey," the dominant figure for females in the wargaming hobby, with some videos that break the boundaries of wargaming. For example, "Starting a YouTube Channel." This makes her videos very broad in range, but her irregular uploads may reduce her subscriber count and also her placement on this list.

9. Winters SEO

   The best for his ability to tell the stories behind his armies. Listen to his story time videos of the 13th and the Penitent Forge.

   Not as many ad breaks as SS82, and he edits his batreps down to roughly an hour. He always has great guests with lovely-looking armies.

10. WargamerGirl

    Not many videos, but if you're into Warmachine, she is definitely for you.

13. Games Workshop WNT

    Very formal, but they're gonna be - they're the creators of Warhammer Fantasy and 40k! The fact that this is only for Games Workshop products and not lots of wargames lowers its placement.

14. Wargamer Online

15. The Painting Clinic

    The clue's in the name. There are truly awesome painting tutorials done with a professional style and welcoming tone. Check him out.

16. GirlPainting

    There are better painters on YouTube, don't get me wrong, but the large amount of videos and wargames she has covered makes her a truly awesome channel. Go give her a sub if you feel like it!
