I haven’t got my code, but I still cannot order the mini ether so I still think they having issues.
What day did you sign up? The model becomes available around 20 days after signing up.
I haven't got my code, but I signed up on what I believe was the last day and close to the end of the day, so maybe I missed out if there was something to do with different time zones. EDIT: Wait, no, I do have my code, received it about an hour ago, it just didn't go to my main inbox.
I sign up about a week after it started ;( maybe I got my code now !
But yea, still no second mini even on yearly sub. They said to wait. But it’s a bit annoying.
When I first went to the webstore, it didn’t offer the mini. Logging into the W+ site, selecting the one I wanted there, and logging in/out of the webstore let me add it for free into my cart.
Voucher cashed in, and the special terminator guy and some 30k plastic heavy weapons are on the way.
Voucher code received today and, as of Wednesday 5 October I was free to order both the Terminator and the Sorcerer.
Is there a time limit for ordering the Terminator and Sorcerer? Mine's available now, but I was going to order it alongside some stuff that's not in stock.

FWIW I still have the option to buy the other year 1 model (I already have the free one), so I assume availability is just based on remaining stock. They'll probably keep that topped up at least until the start of year 3.
I just watched the first episode of the new season of AoD and have to admit. They really improved on the critique from the first season. The episode is longer and actually has a story arc feel to it, the sound effects are a lot better and no longer come across hollow. The music is good.
Facial animation can still be improved and the general animation is still a bit wonky, static and drawn out. Some of the dialogue especially the one on the gun deck that is exploding, while everyone seems to have 5pm tea time...lets just say they could learn a bit from drama school there. But overall, they are getting somewhere finally. I'd say 6/10. Not perfect, but not attrociously bad as the last season either.
Let's hope it doesn't take them another 2 months until the next episode.
I really liked this weeks new video! Captured the dark gritty feel and the longer full story experience I think worked great for telling a whole story not part of one. It felt really on-point and improved - sound, music, animation, voice sync - all improved over the first season.
A solid quality production.
I also love how the lore works well in these, seeing the gunnery crew pulling the munitions into the bays by rope not by machine; seeing the grim resolve of characters etc.. It all just feels wonderfully on point for the setting and lore.

sad that it took so long for a new episode to air after year two started 3 weeks ago. this episode was fantastic. it felt like 3 or 4 episodes, compared to last year's lengths. i'd give this a solid 10/10 on the youtube fan film scale
Animation quality is way on the up, more frames!! The colour choices for the Tyranids were awesome!
There is only one bad part
Spoiler:
I was so ready for a Lictor leaping in to "save the day" against the commissar and then an epic lictor VS Commissar battle!
Really enjoyable episode.
Spoiler:
I don’t think how they dealt with the commissar in the end was bad when you realise what’s actually going on. It makes a lot more sense.
I actually watched it again just now, and everything from the very beginning is very ominous knowing the truth
Naw, I'm pretty sure most fans would have caught on fairly fast that something was amiss and the potential nature of that at various points. For an existing fan, familiar with the material its more about setting it happen and also finding out how it unfolds (eg who knew, who didn't know etc....).
It might have been moved or delayed; but the teaser really is a teaser and shows very little so it could still be in there and just not being shown.
All in all I'm excited and hopeful that we get a lot more AoS stuff appearing
Salamanders and Ultramarines in one battle (sigh). I hate that the OG nine seem to be only chapters in existence in all stories in the setting, and it's even worse in M42 because whole point of Ultima Founding was to add a big number of new, fresh chapters to the story. Why not Krakens or Black Vipers if you really need Salamander-ish chapter? Not only both are more interesting, but a big opportunity to flesh them out was wasted
Also not a fan of comical brick weapons from tabletop. They resized them for the Sister, why not SM too? They really should be half the size they are in this animation going by canon dimensions...

I think the trailer is part of the same story - which is also cool.
