It sure would be nice if they show the Year 3 minis before my renewal date.

Having more regular content that isn't Loremasters or Battle Reports would be great.
But I haven't used the Vault much in 2 years.

Most of my use has been when a new animation drops, or the 40K app.
A little dabbling w the AoS app as well

You don't need WH+ for the 40k app. Have they said that is how you will get access in the future?

For the list builder, yes.

Right. I had WH+ because the cost was slightly higher than the 40k app alone, during 9th ed.

I believe after another month or so, the 40k list builder gets locked into subscription again.

Yep and that makes sense - bundle it into Warhammer+ and make Warhammer+ the only subscription you need from GW outside of White Dwarf.

The problem is they will pull the classic GW and think "WOW! Look how many people subscribed! They must be SUPER HAPPY with the animations on WH+!". This despite the fact the numbers went up after bribing people with a mini that will sell on ebay for the price of a subscription and then strong arming them by locking army building behind the paywall after making all the rules and points values free to access online for anyone. It's so weird to me. "Here, you can have access to all this stuff for free, but if you want a way to poorly organize it, give us $60/yr"

Still no word on what's on offer for year 3 or what shows we can expect.

It’s still very light on quality content, not sure without the mini I would be willing to stick with it.
I still wonder if they plan to do a little more or if they just going to use it as a catch all sub for things like the app at this point.

We never got the Warhammer Adventures show that they previewed before year 1, right..?

No..t yet

End of August is when the list builder goes back behind the subscription. Still waiting to see how they do codexes with it yet.

Has anyone been able to order both the models this year? I’ve got the gorgeous Terminator (and haven’t sold it to HBMC, despite his prediction :p ) but the site isn’t allowing me to add the Sorceror to my basket.

Are you allowed both? I thought you had to choose one.

You get one for free as part of your sub, and can order the other. I think they’re £23 this year.

I think choosing to buy a model gets enabled when the monthly payers are allowed to choose their model.

I seem to recall some kind of lag like that last year on buying, but can't be sure.

I know I can't yet choose my model, but I'm expecting too end of the month/start of next.

I’ll give them a ring I think. Every time I view MyWarhammer, the page layout is screwy on iPad.

Or….I could setup my PC and do some Cricut stuff as well. That’s probably a more productive use of my time.

I just gave up waiting for them to unlock, and plan to bug them about it when my sub comes up.
I am on the yearly sub, so it should have pop up earlier but didn’t.

I got both the Khorne Terminator and the Sorceress just fine last year. Annual subscription for both years, unlocking with a delay of four weeks after the renewal as, I believe, was advertised at the time. I put both of them in the basket at the same time a week or two later, paid only for the one I didn't select as part of my subscription, and got them in the mail a couple of days later. No trouble whatsoever.

No idea how that works with monthly subscriptions. Or if you're eligible to buy the second model later if you don't buy it at the same time. Might be worth checking with customer service, or at least check terms and conditions on that stuff and see if it aligns with your experience. Can't rule out bugs throwing things out of whack, right?

There was a period of time last year where it was mistakenly giving access early. Still waiting to get Year 2 models here.

I can still buy the year 1 model i didnt choose for £25/26, no idea if i still be able to buy it once the year 3 minis are available!

Yeah, there was a glitch back then, but that early access was measured in a handful of weeks. Per the Warhammer Community article at the time (https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/08/10/warhammer-year-two-is-nearly-here-get-ready-for-even-more-warhammer/, relevant bit quoted below) if you're an annual subscriber, you should have had access to the models somewhere around middle to end of September last year, like I did. As said in my previous post, everything went by the book for me. If that's not the case for you or anyone else, that sounds like a mistake on GW's part?

GW wrote:In a change to last year’s offer, annual subscribers will get this year’s free miniature just one month after taking out a subscription – great news if you want your hands on it quickly!

Monthly subscribers will still need to wait until they’ve been subscribed for a year. Check back next week to find out exactly what this year’s miniatures look like – though we reckon you can make a pretty solid guess based on these imposing silhouettes…

Yeah, personally wasn't too fussed given that the models were not ones I really wanted.

The Vault has the FW Masterclass books in it, which I did want.

Thanks guys, I had forgotten to order my previous exclusive model, it is now done !

Just looking at the direct debit for my annual subscription, which was taken out 25th August last year, so I presume it will be the same again this year. They really need to preview the model for next year so I can choose whether to cancel or not before it gets paid.

I'm beginning to suspect that GW wants to hold back showing off the year three models as long as possible so some people (re-)subscribe impulsively with the model reveals still fresh on their mind. It wouldn't surprise me. GW has been edging closer to Kirbyesque behavior again in recent years.

I've got 13 days according to the Warhammer+ site before my order auto-renews. In GW marketing speak that means they've got at least a week before they likely "have" to say anything.

I also hope they are going to start of the new season with the new models and also with a new show. Or at least something like new Bolter and Hammer episodes and the like

I’m surprised the Blacktalon team isn’t warhammer plus exclusive. Selling models through an app based on characters mostly exclusive to videos from that app seems like a no brainer (except Neave)

Mine renews mid September. A lot will hinge on the 40K army builder app as it will require a subscription after August. I like this app much more than 9th editions.

The rest is still light on original animation and I rarely check it these days. I have both 40K minis but have yet to paint either.

We will see come early September.

The current app is fine, that it actually runs on a Chromebook from day one is a surprise to me, the previous app had no such proper support for ages that it was around.

Mine renews in ten days, still on the fence whether or not to renew, this last year has been rather light on the content I really enjoyed. Interrogator was good story-wise, while the Exodite or whatever that other one was called was also a fun watch. The Hamilcar animation was also good fun. But the rest, not really. Still waiting on that Imperial Knight show GW.. 😡

Dunno who really needs an army builder app for 40k now that it's just "big number power level" and take whatever you want. ESPECIALLY not as a paid proposition.
