The Praetorian of Inwit Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 It is very disappointing and frustrating that GW is so resistant to being open with their customers. It feels like W+ is being left to dry. I wonder if they are just going to dump it. It's a shame as I have enjoyed the animations and while the Loremasters & Bat Reps weren't phenomenal they were decent enough.

Taliesin Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 I agree, the Loremasters stuff is interesting and the animations we did get are certainly worth watching ( and some really great). Domhnall 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as the subscribers continue to grow, and the profit margin is sufficient, it'll carry on. If you assume all 169,000 subscribers are subscribed for a full year (they won't be, but we're assuming the higher end for now) that's a turnover of £8,448,310, which is considerably more than Black Library brings in.

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 @Taliesin At least someone else likes them, I was beginning to think I was the only one! I was a big fan of The Exodite and the Hammer & Bolter episode 'Plague Song'. Plus Angels of Death, that was awesome. What are some your favorites? @Joe So some decent revenue then. I wonder how that translates into profitability? I have no idea how much animations cost but they certainly don't seem to have spent big on things like Battle Report.

Taliesin Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 (edited) I liked The Exodite, Pariah Nexus, Iron Within, parts of Angels of Death ( not the prequel ), some episodes of Hammer and Bolter ( but a minority of them) and some episodes of BlackTalon. The Interrogator series also was not bad, just stylistically not exciting for me. P.s. Astartes was the best, but that is not a WH+ animation.

ThePenitentOne Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The Hammer and Bolter with the dude who goes and finds the spirit stone of his mom so he can put it in wraithguard was probably the best; I also really liked the one about the datasmith and her loyal robot, the Sisters of Battle episode, or the one about corruption in the administratum. The assassin/ inquisition one was good too... I guess I liked most of the Hammer and Bolter stuff actually.

I thought that ep did a grt job of portraying the grimdark Skulls everywhere, steel beds with no mattress, even the food thing is a skull and of most importantly, counting every book everyday! and no talking!

Yeah as i remember saying, subscription models like this dont rely as much on ongoing content as one people not being bothered to unsubscribe. Like, they could essentially cease all content entirely today and still net a decent income for years off of people not noticing the small payments going monthly, or possibly even the larger annual one. Believe me, the insanity i saw working front line for a bank, like people with multiple phone insurance policies or the depressing regularity of explaining what Amazon prime was after it had been coming out of their account for multiple years :D Xenith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 22 minutes ago, Taliesin said: Broken Lance out today, anyone seen it? I've watched it, I thought it was ok but nothing amazing. The story is fairly predictable but suitably grim dark with dramatic undertones. The Knight animation is ok but he combat is slow and lack lustre and feels like a set piece from a call of duty style game. The human animation when it comes to lip-sync was pretty bad and they look kind of goofy when they spoke, bit like Wallace and Grommit. I saw Lost Legion mentioned in the end credits which surprised me because Exodite was pretty amazing in comparison. It's fine, few nit picks here and there as you can tell but nothing spectacular. Felt like a polished fan film and the story was contained to the one episode. Aarik and Taliesin 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I was surprised that the same studio that did Exodite produced this too? It's terrible by comparison. Also it seems the studio as closed, possibly even before this released? The fight scenes are like bad video cut scenes run on an under spec'd machine. The new Aos trailer was better quality in terms of story and animation. This will be my last year support WH+ unless something drastically changes with their offering.
