Well don't forget prior to sending the team down to get the captain, they were convinced that their fleet of ships in orbit was currently safe. They were not aware that multiple ships had been infiltrated and with the Warp Storm all around them they weren't expecting any other fleets to arrive.
Basically they had time and purpose and the ship was pretty much a safe haven.

They already used Studio's BA models in this report, so its not like they arent recycling their assets already..
How late whw is open? Maybe working hours of br team would become bit of issue? Doing battle reports isn't super fast. How many would be happy working 9pm?
WHW is a massive open space. There would be echoes galore on the audio, and would likely be harder to light than a dedicated filming space with proper lighting and soundproofing.
Plus, most of the WHW tables are very terrain sparse.
The special ones you can book? Easier to take that into the filming studio than go film in the gaming hall.
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
They should definitely be splitting the frame in battle report during dice rolls so that they can have the camera on the right part of the table while they're rolling instead of just the section of table adjacent to the dice tray, really would not be much effort to do that.

Maybe I'm old and slow, but the dice rolls are so fast that I find it hard to follow rolls of more than half a dozen dice accurately. Which means most dice rolls, really. Do other people actually have time to crosscheck the relevant board section while they follow the rolling?

Why is the rum always gone?
It's not so much that as that it's a bit jarring in the first one that it keeps cutting back to the dreadnought/scarab battle royale so we can see them roll dice. I do want to see the dice rolls but I don't need to keep being shown one edge of the playing area so I can see that when it's trivial to just split the frame.

The Batreps look cool, only watched part of 1, but I'm a bit disappointed they either don't have the imagination or the capability to put in animated cut-scenes at dramatic moments, like if a Warlord kills a big beastie in melee just cut to a quick 10 second animation of a character that looks like that miniature swinging its sword and murdering an animated version of whatever it is that its fighting

Seeing animations costs in 4-5 digits per minute either they would be very crappy quality or it would cost ridiculously lot.
And myself less excess stuff the better. On youtube what i hate is when video has often "cool" animation plus sound when things change. With luck it's just turn changing. At worst it's between phases. Dadadaa. Hero phase starts. Dadadaa. Movement phase starts.
STOOOP!

I'd prefer to keep it to miniatures and dice. That is after all what it's about. For eye candy I just want to see shots of the actual models at interesting angles with cool terrain in the background.
On that note, the red on Louise's Battlewagon is really cool. I'd take watching action shots of nice models like that over silly little cutscenes every time.

I still think it is worth the money, its $100 AU per year (I pay almost that much for 1 take-away meal for my family), so I paid it and figure I will just wait a few months for content to build up and binge watch it (as said before, the model and 40k app are almost worth it alone, the video content is bonus).
However, I watched the first 2 of the Blood angel show now and I am enjoying it (will now not watch anymore till have a heap built up, the episodes are to short).
The batreps, pass. Are way better channels for that aspect (Miniwargaming, Tabletop Tactics, Mountain Miniature Gaming, Sticking Scorpion 82 etc).
The white dwarfs etc, meh ye is ok good bonus.
I am really waiting for the Lore channel (I love channels like Luiten09 etc), I can't wait for that.
Conclusion after second week:
I totally think is worth it, I figure paying $100 per year for a model, 40k app, AoS app (when improved/developed) and some extras like some 40k animations and a lore channel, whenever it comes. It's no netflix/Stan/Amazon Prime etc or anything like that, but I didn't expect it to be. So big from me.

Have you, by chance, read the infrigment assistant thread? Because yes, they totally have, specifically that one example.
That they did later retire it claiming that it was "an error" is kind of immaterial to the point.
No, it isn't immaterial because someone clearly made a mistake. You're applying malice where none exists.
The GW Infringement Team sent MWM an email clarifying that it was indeed and error.

...or maybe they lied and backtracked on it? We may never know, unless we have a man on the inside.

He isn't "applying malice" to anything. He is pointing to an activity that people claimed would not happen, and did in fact happen.
One mistake means GW is going to destroy every single Warhammer themed YT channel. OK.
As for applying malice, the MWM situation was blown (once again) out of proportion and people are once again blowing the "GW is evil" horn. When the situation was resolved in what seems to be a couple of days, it's a big conspiracy that someone accidently initiated the mass claiming plan too early.
People are so eager to hate the company that they're just making things up to anger themselves further.
GW admitted it was an error and removed the claim. Thats it. There's no grand conspiracy.

Not applying malice: applying fact. They did issue a copyright claim, it was a manually issued one, not an automated "mistake", and they later on retired it.
The fact is that someone was there to issue the copyright claim, and I kind of doubt it was someone not meant to do exactly that.
Otherwise, what do you think happened, here? That some unrelated GW intern happened to be watching the video on a computer that just by sheer luck had YT's copyright infringement claim page open and by some roll of the dice happened to copy the url of the video, paste it on the copyright infringement claim, and send it after writing why they thought it was an actual infringement?
It's not something you do by happenstance. And it's not something you do if don't aim to do it.

People aren't claiming any sort of conspiracy. They're pointing to an example of a thing we said would happen and then did happen.
Error or not, it would not have happened unless Games Workshop was undertaking these types of actions. Just like we said they would.
As for "mass claiming," do you think hiring more people on their infringement team means less action will be taken? Or does hiring more people to do stuff mean that more stuff will be done?

Nice subtle attempt to create a false appearance of consensus there. Yeah I'm sure there's widespread established views that coincide with your own, rather than this just being more of your usual tripe.
