It's been far too long since Gamesworkshop have engaged with the community directly and it finally looks like they are once again!
By giving us the one thing we've been asking for years... Pay-Walled animated advertising content!

Does this appeal to you? Are you going to subscribe for the previously free content?

**Daedalus81**

Depends on the price. I like what they will eventually have. Not sure it will be enough to be worthwhile for quite some time.

**Racerguy180**

If they expect me to pay for it, it better be comparable in production values to other large entities. Otherwise why bother...

**Dai**

Could be cool, I'll see what it looks like when launched.

**Seabass**

There is a lot more than this "previously free content" that looks to be available on the streaming service.

I have wanted movies and animated media set in the Warhammer universes for a long time. I have 0 problems paying for it.

How I do hope that the material will be difficult/impossible to obtain via some deus ex mechanica to not be available "elsewhere".

**ccs**

No, not likely to subscribe.
Or at least not for a good long time. I'll let them build up an inventory of complete movies & shows and then consider it.
Hell, I haven't signed up for Disney+ yet & that HAS stuff I want to watch....

**BlaxicanX**

No. I don't have a subscription to Disney+ specifically because it doesn't feel like there's enough content to justify a monthly subscription. Disney+ has like a hundred videos to watch. WH+ would need at minimum around 300 hours or so of content for me to consider subscribing.

**AnomanderRake**

Thbbbbbbt.

**Wyldhunt**

I'm excited for the *content*. I'm... willing to see what the service has to offer on launch, but I wasn't really looking for another monthly fee.

They did mention that there would be other benefits to a WH+ sub, so I wonder what those are going to be. as it stands, yeah, I don't blame anyone who is concerned about the amount of content that is going to be available at launch. If there just isn't a whole lot, the price is going to be a massive purchasing motivator, and so will the value add of the additional benefits.

It'll be interesting to see.

**stroller**

Funnily enough that's one thing I haven't been asking for for years.... or even seconds...

If it's like D&D Beyond where you get access to all the source books while you're subscribed AND you get the 40k App thrown in with all the features and armies. Then it could be worth it depending on the asking price.

**Karol**

No, I don't subscribe to anything, and I don't think that for me the material would warrent changing that.

**Blackie**

I only care about the hobby: painting the miniatures and playing with them. I have zero interest in books, comics, series, etc... related to Warhammer, so it's an auto pass for me.

**Horla**

Nope, I'm not interested in the animations beyond watching maybe a couple of minutes for a small teaser. If, like mentioned above, they go the D&D Beyond route, I'll probably still not be interested as I much prefer a book where I can easily find things than flipping between pages on a phone.

**Cronch**

No. The quality on display was...not there, the stories will be the usual "Marines go brrr and win", and I have no interest in any additional "perks"- I don't watch GW tutorials, I find GW twitch contents beyond abysmal and I have little interest in BL. I'm sure plenty will though.

**harlokin**

Depends. I don't watch Marine content even when it's free, but if there were Inquisitor/Dark Heresy, and Xenos type stuff, I'd take a shuft.

**Jidmah**

Unless it's ridiculously cheap, I don't see myself paying for such a limited amount of content.

If it looks like that D&D beyond stuff people describe further up... maybe.

Looking at what's been revealed of the launch line-up so far, perhaps half will have Marines:

Hammer and Bolter
An anthology of animated stories, featuring characters and factions from across the worlds of Warhammer, Hammer and Bolter has something for every Warhammer fan.

Angels of Death
Battered by warp storms, a small band of Blood Angels find safe harbour above an isolated world. All is not as it seems though, and soon the scions of Sanguinius have fresh foes to contend with.

The Exodite
In the midst of a brutal conflict, a T’au Stealth Team must undertake a critical mission against the armies of the Imperium. But the T’au aren’t the only force vying for dominion here, and powers far older and more mysterious are at play…

Iron Within
When beleaguered Astra Militarum forces face annihilation, they must turn to salvation from a most unlikely source. Is the enemy of your enemy really your friend?

Altar of Wrath
After a grinding war of attrition, the last Black Templars of a Crusade seek to strike a final, decisive blow against the Necrons to end the battle for good.

Blacktalon
A notorious hunter is unleashed to slay Sigmar’s most grievous foes – but the secrets of Neave Blacktalon’s past follow wherever she treads, even beyond death.

Interrogator
This tale of crime and heresy in an Imperial hive city explores the tragedy and horror that haunts the servants of the Inquisition. Interrogator blurs the lines between right and wrong… can the ends ever justify the means?

Broken Lance
Towering war machines stride the battlefield in a drama that sees the survivors of a once-noble house of Imperial Knights facing the sins of their predecessors.

Pariah Nexus
Explore silence and death in the darkest corners of the galaxy. As the Indomitus Crusade reaches the Pariah Nexus, strength and faith will be tested to the limit.

High Lords
Politics and treachery abound in the Imperial Palace. For ten thousand years, the High Lords have governed the Imperium in the Emperor’s stead. Such power brings corruption, intrigue, and danger to all who would grasp it.

Astartes II
Witness the forces of the Space Marines in unrelenting action as they take the fight to the enemies of Mankind.

OK that's a marginally more interesting list... but... you want money for 11 animations....? I'll still pass.

There's 11 new things there. I'm guessing it'll also include the fan-stuff GW has 'acquired' (SODAZ, Astartes, etc.) plus GW does have some existing stuff - Ultramarines and the movies made for Games Day, etc. It's still not much, but we don't know the cost or what else is included (exclusive minis have been mentioned).

**Karol**

We don't know the exact cost, but with GW I think we can be sure that it is going to high.

**tauist**

The only 40K related animations I've enjoyed are Emperor's Text To Speech Device and Helsreach. Everything else has been rubbish in my opinion. I hope Angels Of Death will turn out to be at least somewhat comparable in quality to Helsreach.

But hyped about it? Not really my thing to be hyped about 40K lore. I'm mostly in it for the miniatures at the end of the day.

**Aenar**

It makes no sense at all to hide supposedly good and attractive content behind a paywall in a proprietary app. You should want to make it for everyone to see, to attract new customers.
This is just self-referential, the only people who are going to see it are those who already know about the hobby and are willing to splash money for it.

Watch it flop so hard that they'll pull the plug 6 months later.

**Nevelon**

Probably no.

Depends on the price point and extras. GW has a significant amount of digital content in the form of books/apps. If one reasonable price got me access to everything, I’d probably spring for it. Don’t think that’s going to happen, but who knows.

**mrFickle**

Have any price pints been announced? I’m very skeptics about the quality of the content that comes out and it will be a shame if you have to love 40K to enjoy the content.

There potential here for some great space opera so let’s remain optimistic.

However I have a feeling that we will start to see model releases delayed as they are co-termed to fit corresponding codex, novel and movie/series. And model focus will now become linked to the protagonist of the next release.

I feel like a better option for GW would have been to sign a deal with Netflix or someone like that to produce video content for the GW games.

No. More details are due on 23rd June.

**mrFickle**

And I just checked Warhammer community and there will limited models release inside WH+.

“Animations are just the start. There’s a whole heap of stuff coming, from more exclusive content to special-access areas, and dedicated offers and rewards. There might even be some exclusive miniatures in the offing…”

Thanks for the list mate.

**Sarigar**

Price point, length of animations, other content available on platform. Right now, I play for three streaming services and have more content that I or my family can watch. GW needs to offer a lot more than a dozen animations to get me to subscribe.
