GW ARE DOING A SALE?! WTF IS HAPPENING!

Stream Overview

The livestream opens with Valrak walking on a treadmill while chat-triggered gifted memberships keep increasing the speed and incline. He jokes that he has talked himself into an hour-long walk, teases viewers about “jog rack” and bouncing “melons,” and reminisces about school lunches such as Turkey Twizzlers. The stream also features Manchester-versus-Liverpool ribbing and a running joke that Valrak is a scammer who owns a Bentley—though he insists he drives a Citroën.

Games Workshop’s New “Sale”

Valrak explains that Games Workshop’s offer is mainly a voucher promotion: customers spend money now to receive a limited-use voucher for a later purchase, valid only until early January. He finds the deal underwhelming, since the vouchers effectively provide around 10% back and require another purchase.

A separate Warhammer World promotion offers free items at different spending thresholds. Valrak jokes about spending a substantial amount just to receive a character model worth less than £30. He also notes that third-party retailers often offer 15–20% off immediately, making them a better deal for many customers.

Martyrdom Campaign

The stream is a major promotion for Martyrdom, Valrak’s Crusades-themed tabletop game. He repeatedly shares the Kickstarter link and discusses its Crusader and Seljuk factions. More units and factions, including Byzantines, are planned.

The campaign reaches about £207,000 during the stream, moving closer to further plastic-production goals. Valrak is visibly thrilled by the support and jokingly challenges his colleague Dhaka to match his fundraising results. He also promises a hippo model if the project reaches its final goal.

Valrak gives viewers a brief look behind the scenes at the Martyrdom workflow, then previews a new promotional video. He praises Woodimp’s work and says a Byzantine reveal is coming soon.

Other Hobby News

Valrak shares a couple of sprues for an upcoming Japanese mech from Warlord Games, praising its detail and poseability. He hints that the company has more exciting releases planned but cannot reveal them yet.

Battle of Doran Giveaway

Downtime Minis offers a Battle of Doran box as a giveaway. Valrak opens the giveaway to everyone in chat, including non-members, and selects Will Platin as the winner. Will is initially a “gray name,” but joins the channel afterward to claim the prize, prompting jokes about members being green and non-members watching from outside the “house.”

Gifted memberships are also added to a list for a planned Christmas Warhound Titan giveaway.

Sign-Off

Valrak thanks backers and supporters, celebrates the campaign’s progress, and signs off with plans for more Martyrdom news and a future Kingdom of Heaven watch-along.
