Do they say how long they last, never got a GW voucher before? 28 is worth giving a go maybe.

Subbed this morning. Rollout seems to be a bit of a mess, lots of people (at least early on before Warcom posted their most recent article on it, not sure if its helped any) confused about where they were supposed to sign up, etc. (I forgot the mywarhammer website even existed), lots of people unaware that the Warhammer TV app is the corresponding app to the Warhammer + service, etc. In general their branding on this just seems kind of off, they should have named all the constituent apps "Warhammer + [blank]", i.e. "Warhammer+ TV", "Warhammer+ Vault", etc. I didn't realize that Warhammer TV was relevant to my warhammer + sub until a friend pointed it out to me.

It's not quite zero porting required between the two, but it's not much in the grand scheme of things and it rather suggests a rushed, badly planned launch.
Did they ever reveal who the "top company" is? I wouldn't be surprised to learn its a middling but established company that nobody has ever actually heard of
No, but I'll figure it out within half an hour of the app going live.
So, whats your verdict?

You only have to subscribe for a month to get the voucher? So they are actually paying people to get a month of Warhammer plus? They must either be extremely desperate, or really confident that people will keep it once they try it.

There is also the calculus of vouchers/rebates/gift cards. How many issued will actually get used? When spending it, will you buy more than it’s value? By buying from the company store, they get a higher margin.
It is in no way a desperation move.

Last time I saw one of those was a store opening voucher in WD hundred-and-something, buy three boxsets and get the cheapest one free think it was
Just after the collapse of the Soviet Union, I remember the date.

since it’s for there own store, and most things cost extra there. If people buy minis, the major cost is in design and manufacturing before the cost of mini itself.
So getting extra money, even if it costs them a voucher is well worth it for nearly anything they sell.
It’s a great incentive as a whole for them, they do get money, even if on paper they are losing some.

Eh? They've done voucher offers several times in the last year. Including this last month.
They had an ongoing series last fall for buy X amount, get a voucher for Y, recurring for about 3 months.

That's a good point. I guess it doesn't actually cost GW much, since anyone using that voucher will end up spending much more than the value of the voucher on the store, and may even buy something they otherwise wouldn't have to use it up on time. So I guess there's little risk to GW, so it's not necessarily that they're confident people will keep the subscription. But it should bump the numbers up for the first few months if they're essentially giving it away for free.

Can any of my colegas íbericos or other people from around the world confirm if they get an error too?

No, it's supposed to be the battle of Iax, which takes place in the capital city of an agriworld, and is documented in great detail in a novel that came out months ago - and the place the battle takes place looks pretty much like that board.
I can totally see why someone might not realise that, certainly not everyone is going to have read the book. And yes, "agriworld" does sound like you'd expect something else without that context. But what I can't understand is that when someone politely points that out the battle they're recreating happens in a city, the reaction isn't to go "oh fair enough, haven't read it," but to double down, to say that's bad reading comprehension or trolling, or to come up with conspiracy theories about how that's justification after the fact for using the gakky GW terrain boards, when the book was written a year ago.
The battle and its setting are described in great detail over 50 pages or so of Godblight. It doesn't take place on farmland. Might have been cool if it did, but it didn't.
There is no argument here, other than "a rural battle would have been cooler than an industrial one". People are inferring stuff about the setting from one word in the marketing copy when there's 20,000 words written that describe it in great detail. There's no need.

Eh. No streaming service worked well on the first day, or even the first few days.

Ah yes. Battle taking in capital city(as per fluff of battle. You HAVE read it right?) Looks like farm, forest etc...since when?
How many capitals in our world has barns and hay???
Really? Not even north korea or afganistan have such capitals.
You have weird ideas on what capital cities(you did of course know where story takes place since you critique. Surely you wouldn't do that without knowing fluff of battle in question) looks like.

I would follow up, that we have seen some pictures of parts of what look to be the finished board.
Bit extra terrain and tactical dust of a more desert kind.
It doesn’t really look like anything, not a space port. City hub with shops or a habitat for living.
Maybe they will wow me, and the side with nurgle will be covered in green and spores and color as the Aproach of chaos nears.
Even if you can say it’s appropriate for the setting they invoking, it’s still rather dull.
Also as a narrative mission from a book, how did they even get off the planet if it all but fell and this is a last stand ? This more my curiosity as added idea before I watch the batrep if I end up paying.

Masterclass I found enjoyable enough. So far it’s Pale Flesh and Wet Blending.
I guess it’s one of those things you’ll need to suck it and see for yourself. After all, what I find useful may be old hat to you, and vice verse.
I can say they’re well shot, with clear examples of the techniques and paint consistencies. Both also extol the use and benefit of a wet palette.

On the second battle report. Neither has used stock, unconverted terrain. Both have use entirely scratch built terrain.
But you know what I want? I want legendary battles.
Not narratively legendary. I’m talking battles between legends. Wheel Jervis out of retirement, and dig up Big Bad Andy C. Perhaps find Fat Bloke too.
Hell, even dig out the old games. I’d love one more 2nd Ed Epic Battle Report, me. Just for poops and titters.
