In some ways, this thread is a continuation of the following thread:

For me, the Vault has so far provided the most value from my Warhammer + subscription other than the anniversary model. There is some great lore posted in there, and the White Dwarf back issues are an excellent resource. I've spent a lot of time reading old Imperial Armour books I haven't had chance to read in yonks!
However, as mentioned in the thread above, there are some big issues with the format. There is no way to save a page or make bookmarks, the search function is janky, the lore is not indexed into different types of publication or even between game systems and White Dwarf, and the page viewer is hugely limited in options. There is also no offline-viewing option, but this is a smaller issue
IMO.
There are also some really annoying omissions from the line-up so far. For example, basically all of the White Dwarf's from 2014-2015 or missing for some reason. They have also uploaded all of the Apocalypse 2nd edition Warzone books
except Warzone: Armageddon, which was released in the Apocalypse rulebook itself and had some great additions to the lore of that conflict. Missing old painting guides is more understandable (I don't think there are any from before the big paint range reset) but they had some great modelling advice in too, and were full of inspiration. It would be neat to upload them with the old-to-new paint conversion chart added at the front of each.
No rules is clearly a business decision, probably to prevent people playing Oldhammer. It is annoying but unlikely to change.
All this said, is there some way to provide feedback to
GW to help improve the service? At the very least, letting
GW know what publications we want to see added would be low-effort for them. Is emailing
GW the only way? I've not come across anything and it would be great if there was a more dedicated channel.
