Basically making a Hunter the Reckoning stuff, when it started the view numbers were so bad they had to bring in Not!Emperor and Not!Kitten to get some of their audience back.
Nah they were there in the first episode(they're in the thumbnail). Although it seems they have fallen back into the same pattern...
The main series animations with a bunch of characters and needing more people to help doing voice work is the popular shit. While most of the other stuff they've produced over the past couple of years only gets half the views, while tyring to supplement the channel content with other things like playing a tabletop RPG, and they drastically slowed down production of the "main show" Hunter: The Parenting

Wow, it really is like they fell into the exact same fucking pattern they hit for emperor's TTS device with 6-24 month gaps between episodes.

I wonder what that big spike matches when they were already making 7 grand a month, but suddenly hit $20k a month on August 1st 2021. Oh right, July 29 was when they posted their "the fate of TTS" and whined about their income and GW, etc.
They don't want to do the actual work that is popular enough to get them the subscribers and views, because it's more work than everything else they to crap out. Same thing with the 40k book reviews, podcasts, ttrpg, etc. they tried but got a fraction of the views for.
"with games workshops new explicitly zero tolerance policy against fan animations"
which is an obvious fucking lie since people have been doing fan animations still this entire time, without issue. The problem is that the TTS guys couldn't sell merch of the characters because they were using GWs art and that would get the eye of GWs lawyers on their ass quicker than the eye of sauron. Flashgitz still does black templar vs furry animations, but they also started their space king thing, because they knew they could monetize the shit out of that, and did so.
Hell, we just got that "The awakening" 50 minute long animation a couple of weeks ago. There was a guy who did a thing called "scorch" about some kasrkin a few months back. Full Moon Studios has been doing 40k animations every month or two for the past year. Steel Coffins has done a couple episodes. There was a guy doing stop motion animations with the joytoy figures. Platinum Lore put together a lore channel using scanned miniatures so he could do little animations of scenes he's talking about since there isn't art for everything. Nick Gickas was doing similar for a goofy comedy thing with photos of minis.
It just goes on and on. Clearly the TTS guys were full of shit, and the ONLY thing that GW actually did was take down some reuploads of astartes, because they bought the rights to it and hired the animator for their WHTV bullshit. They had also hired SODAZ, but he quit before actually doing anything because moron GW fans kept sending him death threats so he got sick of it and gave up.
