and bonus for GW, a fair number of folk won't redeem the voucher, either because they don't want to or they'll forget until it expires,

so it doesn't cost them anything

Binging for a month still might not be a bad deal if someone isn't interested in ordering from the GW website or using either of the mini options.

Buying from your FLGS at a discount or from an ebay store is often significantly less expensive than buying from the GW website, so even with the voucher potential there will probably still be plenty of people choosing to binge later on down the line rather than watch now.

Edit: well, cost and availability from GW's website. Often what's sold out there will be available elsewhere on top of costing less.

The voucher also has a pretty limited lifespan (one month was it?), so you can consider it "free access to WH+" if you were planning to purchase something from the GW webstore specifically in October anyway.

All streaming services are poor when they start, they have to build up content. With Warhammer+ there's not much at the moment but it's all GW's own stuff, so it's not like they'll ever have to remove anything. So it'll be loads better in 12 months, even better after 24 months, and so on. Hence the free minis and voucher and everything early on - you need something to kickstart it.

That said, there's a few easy wins, someone mentioned build instructions, but also the 3D painted model photos that are on the store page, then go away when the item comes of the store. They've always been good painting references.

If GW is as evil as some think, the next step would be having an exclusive pre-pre-order window for WH+ subscribers...

12:38 in the U.K., new content not yet available.

Wondering if it’s going to be 6pm?

I'm wondering the release time as well. Need my fix!!!

And they're up!

EDIT: Or not... Clicking on Angels of Death ep2 (Silent City) just takes me to ep1 (Blood and Duty)...

My app shows the new episodes but won't play them, just redirects back to the home page. But don't worry because they've got a TOP APP STUDIO working on this.

Playing for me now!

Angels of Death episode 2 is….amazing

Totally forgot it is WH+ release day, will pop it on myself.

I wonder if the new content video on YouTube will be a weekly thing...

I hope so. Good way for me to keep up with what’s coming.
Nice to see this years WD already.

I enjoyed part 2 of angels of death but I'll probably wait for them to release a few before I watch any more - the bitesize chunks don't do it for me. Much better format for hammer and bolter where they're self contained stories.

Any news of the animation done by the author of Astartes?
That’s the only thing I’m interested in that will come from this service so far.

AoD ep 2 was a disappointment for me. All in all, I'm not sure GW can keep my interest as a subscriber for long - the influx of new content is way too slow, read & watched everything new already. That amounts to about 0.1 days of content and 6.9 days of waiting for new content, not a very good deal ATM

Quite enjoyed the new battle report. Wouldn’t mind them being in a longer format.

I think I'll give it a year. If it's still around by then I might sub, there's bound to be enough by then to binge for a month.

AoD episode 2 was okay... I like the concept and execution in the story of the GSC taking over all aspects, but combat wise, well... It isn't as good as Astartes, or Sodaz animations in my opinion.

It made the mistake many do, where they show the marines as ultra competent, rather than being an impossible opponent for regular forces who throw the kitchen sink at them and still get butchered.

I did like some of the little details though, such as the amount of data the astartes are provided with through their helmet, and the logistics of space combat. It will probably be thought of more favourably by myself once I have seen all of it, I'm unsure at the moment if the investment is worth my time...

The Genestealers spreading out from that doorway, even on the walls, in the first episode, like waves of cockroaches, was pretty terrifying.

Effective imagery, even if everything is really dark.

While that is true, I don't know that there has yet been a streaming service where you can consume 100% of their new context in a few hours. If you exclude the sloppy seconds like back issues of WD, what is the watch time of all of the new animation added together?

I'd be surprised if that is here before 2022.

Fairly disappointing additions to the WH Vault today. There's so much stuff that could be added, and three issues of WD doesn't really cut it.

I cast it to my big old UHD telly. Oh my….it’s beautiful!

Yeah, the native app for my fire tv stick thing was a really nice surprise. Just need a bit more content really as people keep saying - the fact the rate of new content has actually *slowed down* from week one is disappointing

Well I sure hope its fun as I am on the few countries in which its not available.

Fingers crossed when it does head your way it’s with whatever content has been released prior to that point.

Definitive version of the bolter sound affects, made more amazing by my sub woofer. Lasguns and the tank cannon was amazing too. The grenades were a disappointment though

Sadly no hammer and bolter or any other animations. Now Suffering from withdrawal. I'll go buy some audio dramas then, I guess

Wishing for subtitles options

The Multi Laser was a definite high point for me. Just an inventive visual for it.

If you plan buying any gw stuff then buying something close to 25e it's baslcally nearly 50% discount.

Aod #2 was nice one. Battle report was fun though just from army lists result was predictable but that's gw games for you especially on lower point values. Gw can keep saying games works for every size but in practice 1500-2500 is most it works at all.

Black armour one was good timing. Soonish painting death company.

Is the guy doing this animation the same one who did Helsreach?
