On closer inspection you can see the contents of the vault, but can't access any of the items yet.

App is called Warhammer TV

It works, thanks @Drakheart.

But the process is very intransparent. I would never have thought that I have to memorize this obscure website in order to unlock the app. Perhaps they can't directly link from the app because they want to avoid the Playstore/iTunes tax, but this will cost this service a lot of its initial steam.

Angels of Death is rather good. Lip sync isn’t quite the full shilling, but it’s very atmospheric.

It’s a bit of a that’s it.. could have at least had a faction overview done for all the 40k factions.

I've just signed up, oddly my 40k app doesn't unlock for me and just spins on the authenticator, but likewise acknowledges that I have a valid subscription if I try and proceed down that avenue. I wasn't a current subscriber worth noting.

I can't load the warhammer tv page... Standard GW

It's very much not after the fact though, because there's a novel that came out months ago so was written months before that, that has this battle in it, and it happens in an industrial area of the capital. Like, we're not making this up, but if it was set in farmland people would be complaining it looks nothing like the setting described in Godblight and one part of GW has no idea what the other is doing.

Would a rural battle of been cooler? Absolutely. But this is literally their first WHTV battle report. Something a bit more traditional is fair enough. Plus, what rural battle would you choose? There's not many. I mean, there's not many rural worlds to start with and when people fight over them, they're fighting for control over the spaceport or governmental buildings. I mean this isn't just 40K, it's the real world too. You don't see many clashes between armies out in fields these days! Plus they clearly wanted to do a Primarch duel as that's the "cool" bit they're doing with this report, so your options are even more limited. Especially as Heresy is a different ruleset.

I can see why people are reading "agri-world" and going "well it's not very green" but they're getting hung up on one word.

I think people only went to the agri world since the table looks rather meh, using the rather meh GW terrain and not even making anything good with it.
Also it looks like this is not the batrep up already, we have to wait for there batrep feature. Not a good look.

You mean the clearly unfinished board looks meh?

I'd bet the unpainted, unfinished table would have looked way worse if it was scratch built rather than using GW stuff. All shoeboxes and soda bottles!

The terrain is meh, and people went to the what type it should be to seeing that it doesn’t really have the feel that the setting invokes. It’s another city battle, on GW City terrain.
The setting details are Irrelevant to a great portion of the audience.

They selling a feature board here for a feature batrep. Advertisement for a new subscription is important, but I guess it’s a good mark for expectations.

Probably way to harsh wording, I am sorry >.< taken out the first bit.

That would have been awesome, seeing how it all comes together with the old school creativity and how amazing good terrain can look from masters of there craft.
Even better if they where utilising the terrain they make, and showing how you can if effort is put in make something that looks good.

Yes, the clearly unfinished board that they didn't have to show off in its unfinished state and that doesn't seem to line up with the setting for the battle and that's just another bland ruined city board does indeed look meh. They could have waited until it was finished to show it off. They could have been a bit more creative with the terrain in general but chose not to be. Those are all valid areas of criticism when putting something out there as an advert.

Or they’re demonstrating it’s a custom board for the battle report, rather than one assembled from existing gubbins.

Just watched the masterclasses. They’re pretty informative, and like their other painting tutorials nice and clear, especially on camera angles and that.

Well, I thought the first episode of Angels of Death was excellent.

Had a look at the battle reports they put up, Necrons v Ultramarines, it's well done as well.

Good use of graphics making it easy to follow what is going on, and plenty of time for the players to discuss their thinking behind the moves.

Just watched Hammer and Bolter ep 2 : Bound for Greatness

Sure, animation isn't perfect, but the atmosphere and how it renders daily life in duty to the emperor...plain disturbing.

And the ending, well...really shows the point of how insidious Chaos is.

I like it.

So the Warhammer+ site could do with a bit of rework but I suspect that will happen after the first week when they drop the huge 2 page (it feels like) banner of subscribing and push all the actual links up to the top, esp once you've - you know - subscribed and don't need the subscrube/upgrade link any more.

They also need to fix the warhammer TV link in their account management page (which is where you end up when you first sign up) as that links to the regular youtube channel not into the Warhammer+ system

Videos could also do with a quality slider. There clearly IS one as videos will dip to a lower resolution to preserve streaming; but I'd like to be able to control that aspect. I'd rather tell it to buffer more and display at a higher quality than auto drop it for me just cause my net isn't as fast as is ideal all the time.


Atmosphere of Hammer and Bolter is spot on for the setting. Yes I want more frames and perhaps a touch less focusing super tight on the lips and face when they aren't doing a huge amount with them; but overall they are nailing the actual feeling, themes and ideas of the setting.

Vault also works well for viewing old issues - could do with a two pages on one screen for double spreads (esp on PC where you've ample room for such).

Wonder if lore videos on youtube will be in jeopardy, because Warhamer+ has loremaster videos and GW wants that sweet, sweet app money?

Maybe GWs will try to hire them?

Would be cool if they got 2+ Tough or Dave Witek of Garagehammer, their lore videos are fun. Mortal Realms podcast is good too. For AoS lore.

Does anyone else have problems connecting with the Rules App? WarhammerTV is working fine, but here I'm stuck in an infinite loop of "transmitting security ident" and hitting "I'm a subscriber".

I've contacted the app support and will post the reply for anyone who is also affected.

We're still waiting for that so-called wide ban on Total War mods, so I guess they'll be perfectly fine.

Besides, all what the youtube channels can do is making videos out of the lore GW makes available to their customers already. GW can do something youtube lore channels can't : bringing official GW lore points.

They're not a real competition, in the end.

Update the app via the Play Store.

I had to un/re instal the army builder/rules app on my ipad to get it to acknowledge I was now a subscriber.

Anyone else getting this message?

I've heard it, iirc much of Europe doesn't get WHTV.

Despite saying there wasn't going to be an Android TV app, there in fact is an Android TV app, so that's good.

Playback seems fine once it starts, but the UI is *very* rough and rushed. Damned thing looks like a crappy Roku channel.

So we are supposed to pay the same price as everyone else for less services available? It's not like it's something minor either, we don't have access to the major feature of the subscription.

Yup, it's ridiculous.
But a year from now you'll get one of two specific single miniatures, such value!

Gah! Warhammer+ is still more expensive in Oz than in the UK... by a whole AUD$1.49.

That has me heartened. Any Aussies who signed up able to advise what the 10 pound voucher for signing up this week equate to in AU$ or was it a UK exclusive offer?

Odds on it just coming as a AUS$10 voucher?

The article just says "or local equivalent" without much detail.
