I would be a lot keener on renewing if they told me they were doing something, anything to make the content in the Vault remotely readable.

For the love of god just get someone to make a half decent iPad for it. It's only a document reader, it's not even that hard.

I just cancelled. If the model is just so cool, maybe I'll change my mind, but I doubt it.

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.

If I'm opening the app anyway to get the points because it's more accessible and handy than a dead tree in either format, may as well just click a few more times to have the list done and stats accessible on that same device.

The Vault has so much potential. The White Dwarf back catalogue, the 4:th edition fantasy armybooks, Warhammer Quest, Citadel Journal, the old Rogue Trader Ork books, Man O'War, Inquisitor, Fanatic, Town Cryer etc etc...

Make it readable and searchable and don't cut any rules out. I would pay twice the current price for just the vault, if they made it useful.

I’d settle for some proper “left to right” formatting.

When it’s top to bottom scrolling, my muscle memory doesn’t work.

I personally can live without the rules, but to each their own, and I’d be far from upset if they were included

I might remember it wrong, but afaik GW started WH+ 2021 in August with the offer that if you sign up for a year in that month, you would get some extra goodies. But Season 2 started late September and we only knew the models from preview, many people had already paid their second annual membership before it was clear who would get which mini, or for how long you'd needed to be signed up to be considered for the second miniature. I think if you ordered in September for the first time, there was a moment where you could still get the season 1 mini for free and still ended up with the season 2 mini as well.

So I wouldn't be surprised if they again delay and season 3 starts in October. Also as many have mentioned, we have never heard again of the knights not the pariah nexus shows, let alone Astartes 2. And the vault content hasn't been updated much anymore for months now. Seems like it's time for a hiatus of subscriptions. Only a loss of money will change GWs stance on how much they should invest in the service. But at least the Battle reports are fun to watch.

I'm not sure where you got this info from.

I subscribed right at the start of year 1 with an annual sub. 25th August by my W+ account info.
In the first year, I got the free model (and extra I paid for) about a month later.
GW told us what the 2nd year models would be before that end of August resub date. I auto subscribed and got my free model (and paid for the extra) in mid September.
This time, GW have 10 days now to tell me what the new model choices will be before I cancel.

I almost stayed on for year two- the Chaos Termie was ALMOST enough to keep me.

Having been away for a whole year, there's probably some stuff I haven't seen yet, and of course, I'd re-watch all the year one stuff too.

I want them to preview the y3 models and give me an excuse... But I'll only do it if the model is good.

I wish they'd tell us what the next two minis are.

The Khorne Terminator was great.

Last year they revealed the minis in the third week of August so I'm expecting an announcement later today.

I'm struggling a bit really to think of what this year's models will be - something appealing but presumably non-essential.

The Chaos Terminator seemed to go down very well so I can see more stuff based on 2nd ed or Rogue Trader era classic artwork. Maybe the Eldar Exarch from the 2nd ed cover? A bit more left field but Inquisitor Tyrus? Been a few Inquisitor references recently.

AoS has had Destruction and Chaos so hopefully the next is either Death or Order. 40K has had Imperial and Chaos so there's ample room for them to move into Xenos

Just got an email with a dead link to a preview of the upcoming season and a tease of the new minis.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/08/16/knights-necrons-and-more-in-new-animations-coming-up-on-warhammer/

But hey, Knights are finally on the way! Pariah Nexus as well then.

Link works now!

Preview greys of the two new models. It looks like a Guardsman for 40K and for AoS something elfy or vampiry. One arm looks like it might be holding a bell?

My first thought was "Dark elf" but Vampire might fit better

edit - oh wait it could be a chalice instead of a bell! Just being held out at the wrong angle after taking a drink

Ded no more!

Guardsman is that art piece of what I think is a Storm Trooper? Maybe Kasrkin.

AoS is screaming Vampire to me.

This ‘un

This one MDG?

Yeah, that ‘un!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Think I want the AoS one as my freebie.

So it's an interesting looking Vampire or a not interesting looking Kasrkin.

Neither of those scream must subscribe tbh. I might well cancel unless they are going to improve the Vault.

Man, and here I am thinking about a second subscription just to get two of the Kopinski Kasrkins!

Oh!

Pending the details of what I think is definitely a Dracula (1992) inspired Vampire Lord, and that great "at-ease" Stormtrooper, I will likely stay on with WH+.
Pariah Nexus would be a great release. Hopefully the delay results in better quality animation & voice acting.

I can see it being a vampire, but the curves to the blade and the AoS setting could also mean it's a Daughter of Khaine who also use the chalice imagery quite heavily.

Far too many clothes for a Daughter of Khaine

If one goes back to the OG cauldron of blood, it's actually possible that it's an update of the leader of that (as shown in this random Google image result):

The Kasrkin model based on the classic Karl Kopinski art is ace, easy choice to make what mini to get this year for sure. 😍

Boney cross guard and seemingly ribcagey bits up the blade strongly suggest Undead to me, and such finery I associate with Vampires.

I'm not convinced that's absolutely "bone" versus a crossguard that simply has a split mostly due to the fact that the side away the wielder is notably larger that the part sticking more straight-out. If that's not a bone, then it does call into question what's on the sword but going to "ribs" becomes more of a stretch.

It absolutely could be a vampire, but given how they like to nostalgia-bait I can also it being a re-imagining of that older model.

It could be "shadowflame" or soulstuff on the blade? Sword is a match for the Blood Knights otherwise

Isabella von Carstein, Mortarch of Love.

How often do we see downward facing chalices? The shape is right, but not the angle. What else could it be?

That seems like a bat winged helmet and a chalice to me. If that's not a vampire, GW managed to be extra tricksy with the silhouette.

That's what I've been saying about all Witch Elves that came out for AoS, but GW is firmly in its Victorian period at the moment. Disgusting, I know, but what are you gonna do?
