Warhammer TV Reviews

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, WarhammerTV 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).

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 WarhammerTV .
Would love to see more consistent content and clearer communication but so far it’s doing very well for a new app.

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 WarhammerTV 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 WarhammerTV has been out for several months.
Additionally there is not a single painting tutorial for the armies I want to paint and again WarhammerTV 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

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 WarhammerTV 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.

For what is here, this is an amazing Warhammer channel.

Its what is not here that is missing. There should be more exclusive videos, paint trainers, and more table top videos. Videos for beginner tips on races and abilities and more discussions on special rules. Also maybe how to handle version 8 and 9 rule books. I know you have more movies incoming so no issues on the films.

You would think that If you’re gonna have such a low offering of content on a subscription based service that AT THE VERY LEAST you’d have a fully fully functional app. Very buggy. Crashes constantly. Can’t attempt more than 1 download or it crashes. I’m sure glad I signed up for 1 month rather than a year because until they get WarhammerTV working as it should I won’t be subscribing any more. Get your act together GW! Very disappointed. The only plus is that some of the shows are great and well made. Too bad the delivery method is so flawed.

I do not understand how a multimillion dollar company fields such a terrible app. The user interface is awful it is hard to navigate nothing makes sense. I feel like it’s a throwback to DOS days on the computer typing prompts. GW has not followed through with quality weekly content. The best shows, well show now, exodite gets new episode every 2-4 weeks. Hammer and bolter is great for children I guess but same release schedule. Angels of death is over for right now and all episodes are barely 17 minutes. Soooo ya, join for a month watch everything in a weekend then wait 6 months and do it again.

Yes , there can be weeks between episodes ( the Exodite) , the battle reports are uninspired. The Loremasters series has quite abit of room for improvement. However for the price it is an incredible value in my opinion , and as new content comes along and improvements are made to the list building apps it will only become a better deal.

I am a huge Warhammer fan and I was looking forward to finally having so much amazing lore from Fantasy and 40k put in animation. It’s long over due and is clearly the logical step. WarhammerTV however is garbage. If you try downloading a video WarhammerTV crashes. The animation quality of some of the video looks like from the 90’s with how glitchy the movement is. Content is very slow to put out and it constantly kicks you off WarhammerTV even when you authorize facial recognition so what’s the point? It pains me to say but once again this is just a cash grab for GW. So disappointed.

One day this will be a mighty collection of content. Granted there isn’t more than a few hours of content now, but at $6 a month it’s cheap enough to subscribe and forget about. Let’s just say I love Wednesday mornings, as that is when they update the content.

Solid app but it’s very annoying not having a button to skip back 10-15 seconds to catch something I missed

I got into Warhammer by playing hero quest in the early 1990’s. That is my favorite board game. I love the skavens in the Warhammer fantasy. I would like to see some animations, of the bretonnia knights, the Skaven, the wood elves, maybe show Mordheim or a dwarf, barbarian, elf, wizard adventure animated story of the old world before the end times.

The potential of WH+ animations is exciting. The reality is uninspiring – a monthly subscription fee to see short episodes of varying quality dropped inconsistently over the course of months, instead of each week as originally promised…

It would be great if they consistently dropped one high-quality episode each week. Or if, like Netflix’s Arcane, they dropped entire multi-episode arcs! This is such a rich universe.

But dropping a single 20-minute episode of a given show every other week (at best) kills any narrative momentum. With that cadence, it feels like you’re paying to watch an extended commercial.

In another universe, WH+ is awesome. Maybe someday it will be in this one. But as of April 2022, it is profoundly disappointing.

Just got subscribe to this app long time citadel miniature painter since early 90s my models are still metal love the hammer and Walther love the content and you get a free model for subscribing what more can I say A+ plus plus. Love it would highly recommend!!!!

Please fix your atrocious log in verification method. I can’t even access the premium videos for the sub I pay because the apps login page is bugged and says my info is incorrect then says there is an error when I try to reset my info. I can log in fine on the PC but WarhammerTV is completely unusable which is ridiculous considering we pay a sub to use it…

App is worth it for AoS and 40K rules/reference. Everything else is ancillary - the vault is nice for old lore and shows are fun but the real value is the access to rules and army builders which hopefully keep improving.

Would like to see the obnoxious bar at the bottom screen removed when casting to a tv.

App works well enough. Content library is building up now but mostly on the 40K side so if you’re looking for AoS content, you’ll be disappointed at this time. Hopefully get some good stuff soon.

Super buggy launch and the video player constantly freezes and then refuses to play

Very weak amount of content. Sounds like the slow drip of content will be unreasonably slow.
