Warhammer TV Hack 1.3 + Redeem Codes

I’m a huge GW fan and I love all the content they have brought to this app. The battle reports are the best I have ever seen. The animated stories are everything I could ask for. I love the painting tutorials as the how to videos. I do have a handful of recommendations. I’d like to see an increase in the output of content (while not diminishing quality). My favorite thing are the battle reports and it seams like we are getting about one every three weeks right now. They are starting to spread around the attention and that’s great. Different factions are getting their day in the sun. Regarding the interface itself. I have almost no complaints. It does a great job of holding your place in shows even across your different devices. The ability to browse is great. My big complaint is that I can’t skip back and forth with an auto skip button of 10-15 seconds in my phone. I watch most of the time on my phone and the only way to rewind is to hold and drag the play bar, and I end up overshooting where I want to rewatch. That’s annoying. That’s it.

I have been a giant fan of the 40K universe for decades. Needless to say when I heard GW was developing a streaming platform I was incredibly stoked. I love the content so far and am excited to see where they take it. The content so far has been great, and only getting better. However, the app itself still needs some polishing. I doubt this will be seen, and I know it is my unsolicited advice. <><< Downloads are lower resolution than streaming (this makes no sense to me). >><< It would be nice if episodes had their release dates in the episode description.>><< The ability to sort all shows/episodes by release date would be nice. >><< Picture in Picture (PiP) would be a welcome addition. >><< Jump/jog buttons would be nice. The ability to jump 15 seconds back or ahead in a show would be nice. >><< Downloads are only good for 11 days. Seems a bit arbitrary, and it is annoying because I will be traveling for two weeks (yes I know this one is selfish).

The animations are fun, if occasionally a bit low quality. The CG animations are top notch, however. The lore master and battle reports are great as well. I wish the battle reports didn’t rush quite so much and it’s frustrating that there are “how to play” videos for everything except 40K for some reason. Also, navigating the menus isn’t as intuitive and easy to move about as many other video apps. It’s decent overall but could bear a little polish and beefing out of content.

When warhammer+ was announced I was beyond excited. I’ve always loved the lore and I recently started getting into the hobby, so naturally I could not wait for a wealth of animations and painting tutorials for my armies.
So when it was finally released I paid for the Annual subscription, again excited to see all the animations and finally have all the painting pros in one place. When I got the app there was virtually nothing in their library compared to what appeared in the advertisements. And while I do enjoy the angels of death animations, they have released less than 10( I think) and they are already taking a break from that one. The other animation also has less than 10 episodes and the app has been out for several months.
Additionally there is not a single painting tutorial for the armies I want to paint and again the app has been out for months.

I had really really high hopes for this product but there just isn’t as much as I thought I was going to get.

On a week to week I might get frustrated that I don’t get enough Warhammer content but looking back on Warhammer TV it’s clear here that they are working on a really tall goals and after about 6 months in the platform the library is really coming together thanks to stellar shows like Hammer & Bolt. Also worth noting they’ve realized that they’re currently catering to early adopters and have treated us well with little gifts like a $20 gift card which allowed my to buy some books which I’ve dug into.

I look forward to seeing the Warhammer content expand and for HBO or Netflix one day come in with a big partnership

Look the content is amazing, but with the episodes only being 12-20 minutes you burn through everything pretty quickly. I love this content with every moment of my life. It’s fresh, it’s amazingly well done so many different artists. But the amount of content is like a thirsty man stuck in the desert. That my only complaint. Otherwise I could write here all day about the amazing stuff they make, it’s worth a subscription yes but how you pay and for how long is up to you.

Don’t expect what was promised at all. If your excited for a trove of Warhammer shows and lore you will be disappointed. 1 new episode added on Wednesdays for one of the two shows, the other has had no updates. The lore bits are cool but only 2. Painting is cool but subscribe watch and drop. Either wait a year or two to subscribe or be prepared for disappointment.

On a technical level the app is bare-bones, shows don’t even have a rewind/fast forward 15 seconds button, you gotta use the slider.

However 2 stars because what little content exists is good. It’s just a shame that they decided not to really give you much but 1 weekly episode for your money.

The idea is really cool and I like the content.
Animations: Are cool but need more content which will come in time.
Battle reports: Are well done, again just need more of them. It would be awesome if when a new codex or battletome is released that there is also a battle report using the new rules.
Warhammer vault: lots of content. But poorly executed. You have to scroll too to bottom so any double spread illustration or picture you cannot scroll back and forth to see the whole thing. Very disappointing. Also the content takes forever to load. Some sort of optimization needs to be done.

Most of the interface works really well but some quality of life changes need to be made when it comes to navigation and seeing what’s available.
As far as content, the site has had very little since launch and I was shocked when Angels of Death took an unexpected mid season break, especially as it felt like that show was the main attraction of the app.
Would love to see more consistent content and clearer communication but so far it’s doing very well for a new app.

Nothing I have to say reflect on the quality of the shows- I’m having a hard time even accessing the shows… it is difficult to figure out what is available or how to access it. It seems like they want more money for some of the stuff but I don’t see where it is that you pay more money… I was pretty excited to take an evening to check out some of these shows but I’ve spent a few hours now just trying to get access and then figuring out what I can actually watch.
