I Guess A Warhammer Streaming Service Was Inevitable

Games Workshop is launching a new streaming service called Warhammer Plus (also stylised as Warhammer+). The service was revealed by Games Workshop staffers Adam Troke and Eddie Eccles on May 22 during a Twitch stream on the company’s official channel.
The company also announced that 11 shows are currently in development and based in the ultra grimdark future of
Angels of Death.
There’s also a sizzle reel with snippets from the various shows. All the shows are animated but there’s a good mix of 2D, 3D, and different art styles.
This week in Reading The Wheel of Time, we’re covering Chapter 46 of
The Fires of Heaven. I often don’t pay a lot of attention to chapter titles, but I really like the title of this one: “Other Battles, Other Weapons.” I was drawing the same parallels when I titled last week’s post “One Battle Ends and Another Begins” without realizing it. What’s fun about this chapter is we get to see Rand do some impressive politicking with the Tairens and Cairhienin, which we haven’t seen since he left the Stone and at which he has clearly gotten better. This chapter shows how far Rand has come, and how much he has changed, but it is also a good chapter to show us where Rand’s flaws lie, what things he still hasn’t learned or understood. Some of which feel like they should be obvious by now.
This week in Reading The Wheel of Time, we’re picking up in the middle of Chapter 44. Rand’s observation tower has just been lightninged out of existence as part of the Forsaken’s ongoing attempt to spring the Sammael trap, and Rand, Aviendha, and Egwene have ridden off in search of a new view of the battle, despite all three being quite a bit worn out and worse for wear.
You know, I didn’t mention this last week, but I keep thinking about how lucky Rand is that he had them to stop him from going after Sammael. It’s completely understandable that Rand was too tired and overwhelmed to remember to be logical in that moment, but it is part of a pattern in this battle that he has consistently needed the women in his life to keep his emotions about this battle in check. Lan points out that he shouldn’t go after Couladin, but it takes the Maidens forcing Rand’s hand to make him realize that he should actually be thinking about where he can do the most good, and that isn’t
