Aye think Aeneades is on the money here, we cannot say that we did not have fair prior warning. I am currently on the fence about the artbook but will make my mind up in the coming week.

Personally my deliveries have been coming every four weeks like clockwork and I am very happy with how it is going for me, as with anything like this your mileage may vary.

from the size so far guessing we will end up with at least four binders in total for this, makes sense with the four sections

Yeah it was a long and fair warning, most people just didn’t read too much in depth (and to be fair, in here we had discussed it quite a bit about what we thought would be on them early in the thread).

I’m unsure if I’ll take it yet, but I think it will probably be good value.
(I believe these won’t be purchasable as individual issues? For subscribers only? You with other publications from them can let me know )

They haven't made the 2000AD special issues available on the website so assume they wont for this one either.

Well, I'll probably get the art book - I'm a sucker for a nice hardback full of cool art and Christmas money will pay for it...

Also, with the new double sided play mat, the side with extra details shows positions for the placement of three new terrain sets - STC Ryza pattern ruins, Thermic Plasma Conduits and Battlefield accessories.

Aye, the inside rear cover of issue 18 declares "from issue 21 the battle goes planetside Korvon II, new battle may, new terrain, new missions" and shows all of those terrain pieces physically on the mat. We know the battlefield accessories are coming in issue 23 so we can assume that the other terrain will come shortly after that.

Just unrolled the subscriber poster.

‘Appen there’s a Chapter of Primaris that’s been removed from records.

Wiped out, or gone to the bad?

Does it say why removed? I didn’t think wiped out ones normally are..
So perhaps something untoward..

Nope. Just ‘records expunged’...

could be ones using pre heresy traitor gene seed that Caul made but wasn't allowed to use

or even (gasp) females? (they're going to show up someday)

Removed are are the records still in the post? you know how it goes this time of year?

perhaps they were left 'next door' with that nice Mr Khorne who was only to happy to sign for them?


wittering aside it would have made more sense to note a chapter as being 'lost' in the warp, with no records as to livery etc as they were on their way to found a new outpost or something - point obviously being whatever you paint can be one of these, a bit like the original lost two.

personally think "lost in the post" would be a nice hat tip to the first edition background as well

Well my missing issue and the painting handle turned up with my next batch of 4 issues... Would have been nice if they'd responded to my emails...

Latter has, shall we say recognisable heraldry?

Wonder if the scale of this has taken them by surprise, or if as many companies they actually are that inept.

given GW for all their many faults have and pretty much always have had excellent customer its something it may be worth writing to GW about, as constructive criticism of something putting a tarnish on something otherwise very well done

As a counter point and not as a denial that Hachette have let some down, my subscriber deliveries have arrived like clockwork with no problems.

WhenI ordered an additional Calsius issue, I received a copy of Issue 06 in error. I raised a query Via PayPal and received the correct issue within three days by signed for post.

Long may that continue.

They do seem to be a bit patchy in terms of service.

I’ve not had a problem myself, but there’s enough peeps getting it late that they need to tidy it up a bit.

The issues are received based upon when you signed up, so if someone signs up a month after launch and starts with issue 1 then they will always be a month behind, I think this is what has caused a lot of the confusion and complaints from some people but the only other option would be to charge them for the back issues upfront which not go down well.

A good theory, except I signed up last March when this was originally going to happen, and re-confirmed in the Summer before the 1st issue was released...

I would suggest they are overloaded and don't have much in the way of organisational skills, their comms are particularly bad. However, if they are going to send me lots of plastic crack at a huge discount I'm not going to get too grumpy...

For some people it’s that. For others they just do them in an order, some later than others I suppose.

I’m guessing everyone still gets them in 4 week/monthly roughly deliveries? Just some get them and spoil the surprise for others who get it later (for those that don’t want to know).
-or are some people getting one on time, and then others weeks after the next should, like 6 week gaps between or something..?

It didn’t flow at first since we weren’t getting terrain, but for anyone subscribing since the start..

It is now one Space Marine, one Death Guard, one Terrain, and one paint/brush set per delivery set of four.

(11-14, 15-18, 19-22 so far fit the pattern, which I thought it would have done so makes sense)

Probably old news by now, but I've just noticed there's artwork in issue 8 that appears to depict a Khornate Primaris marine.

Just looked, and I can't see a Khornate primaris in issue 8. There is a snippet of this artwork in there, but I'm pretty sure they're just regular chaos marines.

I could be quite wrong, but I could bet a pint or two that that this chappy here represents a standardised Chaos Primaris equivalent. His proportions, imho, are sleeker than the more standard CSMs, like the more familiar, chunkier fellas around him, and the details of his visor (the brow, the muzzle vents, the tubing, the "ears") correspond more closely to the Primaris visors than anything else, with a cleft to distinguish it from their vanilla cousins.

Could be wrong, like I say, but we'll see.

You will get three more binders, each at £8ish.
You will automatically get these, but like the special issues, may choose to opt out if you’d like.

I would imagine the first of these will be coming just after 20 issues.

I’d say no more than Death Guard and Thousand Sons.
Artwork and fluff wise, Chaos Marines are a bit more depicted in line anyway. (If we went by model for artwork it’d be terrible )

So the new models will be bigger yeah, but I don’t think it’ll be a new Primaris type thing, rather just a bit of scale creep.

This may be an odd question, do we have a colour that matches the sprues for the scenery plastic colour?

I'm thinking of just spraying them all in mat varnish, wash and dry brush and a few details added to give it a very quick paint scheme. If I can get a colour to base coat other, none conquest, scenery I can have them all start with the same base and they'll match a little better.

It's Rhinox Hide, isn't it?

I would think that spraying them a base colour rather than matte varnish to begin with would be no more effort and look better (your entire scenery collection won't be brown, for one thing ).

It's a bit darker than Rhinox Hide, assuming the scenery is the same color as what I got with the Scions KT set.

Indeed, and then help further layers adhere better too.

I’d have to check but I didn’t think it was Rhinox

He has old style backpack, no gorget, standard 'split' style Mk 4 helmet, grill in breastplate like CSM kit, CSM style pads, sorry, just don't see it...

Primed mine using Valijio red oxide primer and while not a perfect match it was pretty damned close, works ok for chipping effects as a base as well, dead easy to apply by airbrush.

its more brown than rattle can red oxide primers

Does anyone know what will be in issues 20+?

Am wondering when the next interceptors will be.

I think that's as far was we know at present

Seems to be settling down nicely then to one for each side, one for paint and one for terrain per four issues.

happy enough with that, have needed some terrain for a while

Yeah I posted a page back the statistics, I think it’s been in that regular patternfor the last 3 deliveries and the next known one too.
So I think that will be the normal from now on.

Only thing is, when bigger kits come, presumably over two weeks or three for repulsor, how will it work.
My guess would be miss out the paint issue in that months set.
Or maybe the terrain even.
But always one thing for each side per delivery.

wondering if when you get the bigger stuff it will be a focused four issues around that kit, there are not as I see it that many big kits here, expect you get that kit over three or four issues as required, the 'spare' issue being paints or terrain

I think it’s three issues for the Repulsor, and two for the PBC. If the sprues are anything to go by..


I’d imagine three Repulsor with one Death Guard sprue in a month.

Then two PBC, one Primaris, and a fourth terrain sprue (or paints). Nicely fills out another months worth there.

That way it still follows the two armies slowly building up evenly-ish

Only issue is with the repulsor and pbc is that if you're buying from a shop you can't do anything until the next bit is released.

Fair to assume they'll stop shipping to stores by that stage?

Unlikely, they seem to be doing well and aren't going to miss selling a bunch

No reason that a multiple sprue kit cannot be sold instore , many partworks already are large multipart kits. They’ll do an issue or two with no instructions but more hobby/fluff then balance it with an issue with more instructions/painting and no fluff.

Well most part works involve a whole load of issues you can't do a lot with until something else arrives so not seeing a huge issue.

also expect for the Rhino for example the two big frames to be two issues, the smaller details one included with one of the other issues.

I don't think there are all that many multi frame kits here so its not a huge issue, you just have a couple of issues focussing more on background, scenarios etc or you get a paint or two and the magazines focus on adding that paint to existing kits.

Not fussed either way really, liking how this is building up.

Marines here adding nicely to the starter set lot I already had, the Death Guard are a new army for me here (had some Khorne & tzeetch already but no nurgle)

not familiar with the PBC and repulsive but IIRC if the rhino gives you the right frame first you can build the two side modules with one frame, the second issue is then the bodywork to join them

It’s no issue, this is designed for subscribers, so as long as we get it fully workable, then it’s fine.
The buying from a shop is just the bonus you can get your issues by.

But as mentioned that won’t stop really as in effect to Hachette it’s ‘no skin off their nose’ if those customers have to wait for bits.

I would assume with most of the kits that you would be able to build a fair amount of the model with just a single sprue, so the first issue would still have building instructions (maybe even painting if it's a model with interior detail), rather than just saving up all the sprues and putting all the building instructions in one issue.

As has been mentioned though, it's not unusual for part works to supply parts of a kit that aren't used for ages, especially as they like to put iconic parts in the first few issues regardless of whether that's sensible from a building perspective i.e. currently building the Back to the Future Delorean, the rear lights and bumper came in issue 1, but you don't actually fit them to the model till somewhere around issue 90!

They're easing people into the "keep these parts safe" model now. They sent the flight stands for the Inceptors with the issue that got a single Inceptor and told you to keep the rest safe. It surely won't be long until they decide to do it with either parts of sprues (such as the DI Death Guard models where the back of 2 of the models come with the Poxwalkers sprue), or whole sprues with vehicles etc.

Are they the same Reiver models that were in issue 3?

Yep. Duplicate of the issue 3 models.

Last of the duplicates for Primaris.
(Well technically Dark Imperium has the same sprue twice but that’s the same when you buy the box).

Death Guard, maybe just the 6 Pox left duplicated? Or no?
(Trickier here, as you get the cultist 5 twice, and again DI has the Pox repeated anyway).

But getting there..

I got issue 2 again when I first subscribed, and Hachette seem to have accidentally sent me two issue 9s, so I'm already up to my bloody ears in generic monopose DGs.

Bits sellers for arm and head swaps, green stuff to cover up chest teeth and alternate DG paint schemes have been my good friends over the multiple easy build miniatures.

Yeah, the poxwalkers I'm just going to mix up the colours a little, I can't really be bothered working too hard on those and it feels like there's a million of them. One good thing I will say about them is that you can just mix up the garment colours and maybe emphasise the fleshy bits differently, and they'll both look distinct from each other at a glance and still make sense as a group.

I've gotten more hands-on with distinguishing the marines alright. The DG marines are also relatively forgiving for lazy chops and changes, thanks to all their spines, spikes, appendages and cracking plates.

One thing I've really come to appreciate as I churn these things out is how clever the mini design has gotten over the years at hiding parts' edges in flab folds, or seamlines in clothing/armour plates. Cunning stuff.

I already had a set of three. Then got the mag issues.
With the Plague Marine Kit, you can vary it nicely.

(Lack of quality photos, as I quickly took them with a flash, it’s so dark here.
But you get there idea)..

Was much trimming needed?

Little to none.
I’ve got lots of photos on my PC somewhere for a project log.
I had the shots of where I cut away on them.

The Blight Launcher Guy was the only one. Needed cutting back at gorget and side. To clip the new torso on.

I think the other ones I just green stuffed gaps


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also. I heavily converted the three characters from DI (one to a terminator, one to a plague marine champion, and one just a booster guy).
So I’ll post a link to said blog once I get it started.

That way anyone getting Conquest who already has DI can get some ideas.

Pretty much everything was re used in other bits (in fact here you can see the Bell backpack from the that Blightbringer or whoever has it. It is too standout noticeable to use twice exactly same)..

I will do that too with the left overs of the multipart you can spice up the easybuild ones.

Good job there.

I've got a few conversions of the easy build ones in my Deathguard blog too if anybody wants some more inspiration

Forbidden Plabet have future issues listed up to #30....but learned from previous time and have not included any pictures of content.

Has anyone else still not received their subscription delivery for issues 15, 16, 17 and 18?

it's showing on the hachette site that it was added to my account on the 28th of December. Maybe it's because I have the premium subscription and don't seem to see any posts or videos of anyone receiving the premium content yet.

I haven't. Mine have always turned up so far halfway through the month after most other people seem to, so no expecting anything fror up to another week yet

@MTCool:

As a rule my deliveries have turned up around 9/10 days after they have been added into the account, and I am based in the UK. So given you are overseas yours should probably be turning up any day soon? Best of luck.

I've found it's generally around the 14th it gets to me. Don't forget they will have been closed for part on Xmas and new year.

Looks like the money gets collected on the last Friday of a monthYou then have time to sort any errors before dispatch

Live in the UK. There appears absolutely no rhyme or reason to when it arrives for me. They come but always incredibly late in comparison to what I see available in my local asda. Sometimes they come in bulk and other times individually.

Nothing here as yet, last lot arrived about the 9th, interestingly enough so did the lot before, and the one before that...

interesting definition of "every four weeks" really so far, gradually getting further and further behind

Sorry, i'm also in the UK (Wales) just newer at posting and hadn't setup my profile fully so oddly defaulted to Bulgaria.

Mine seem to arrive a day or two after the first people on here start saying their box has come.It's been consistent since the start for that.

I had this with Dredd and 2000AD.

My next Conquest set should include the art book (Which I'm quite looking forward to). And those extras have previously delayed shipments on the other two collections.

Example? 2000AD, I was two weeks ahead when I got my subscription (as we are with Conquest now. Well, I am). Then they did the Covers Book, and I got nowt for a month. End result? I'm now two weeks behind retail on my sub.

It is odd how they send it out, currently with every four issue delivery I am behind retail for the first two and when it gets delivered I am ahead two. So on my next delivery, issues 19-22 I will get it the weekend between the retail release of issues 20-21. That is how it is currently working for me. I need to get my act together and get issues 15-18 painted before my next delivery and for my P and M blog.

@Mad Doc Grotsnik: I am looking forward to the artbook too, I assume there will be no new art in there but I hope it is a nice package overall.

most recent DD taken here but still no sign of the magazines

phone them, got through! (this is progress, line quality terrible), gave account details etc, put on hold, disconnected...
phoned back, still rubbish line, gave details.. put on hold... then someone else answered as if I had just been put back in the call queue...

they say "give it a week", posted 28th December and apparently "in transit", possibly a red painted one?

interesting mix of dates for something thats "four weekly"

31st August
28th September (pretty much on the nose)
26th October (again pretty much spot on)
30th November (um... thats not +28 days guys)
28th December (well its 28 from the previous one but still wrong)

pretty much all of them have arrives 8th - 10th of the month

I think they are the dates that they get processed and payment taken rather than posted.
It doesn’t say anywhere that’s the postage date, just what everything is in that one delivery.

So it could be to do with banks and processing times and a few other things that throw it off a bit.
(That’s even if you spoke to someone on the phone and they mentioned it being delivery day. As the people in the office seem not to know..)

Just as to why those dates vary yet your delivery never has, until now..

Hopefully you get it soon, though I suppose it’s only one day shy of your regular arrival.
Mine varied up to 5 or so days usually.

Is this your 15-18 one?

15-18 yes

know a few people who had done partworks, they all say they are the most disorganised companies imaginable

just curious how "every 28 days" (i.e. 13 a year) turns into "monthly" and slowly getting further and further behind

My local stores (WH Smiths and a couple in independants) all got fewer of issue 19 than they ordered/expected

(annoying as I wanted a second copy for conversions so I've had to try Forbidden Planet as the Hachette were sold out as soon as issue 19 went live... well by 9am anyway)

so I wonder if GW hasn't supplied as many sprues as they were meant to (at the expected date anyway given that Christmas probably slowed everything down), that could explain why things are slower than normal this month

It doesn't seem that anyone with Premium has got their 15-18 yet. Is anyone with a regular sub still waiting on that delivery? If not then it's pretty clear what the hold-up is.

There was only one copy in my local WH Smiths compared to the usual 3 although I was a day late in popping down so they may have already sold one or two copies. I wish I had picked up the spare for conversion purposes as I have two Terminator sets to steal bits from bit when I went down again the next day the copy had gone.

Still haven't got mine. Which is either a good or bad thing, who the feth even knows anymore.

Have cancelled the sub. Have called and written and emailed. They keep sending it.

At this point I feel like I may as well just keep them. Then they send the letters say - we'll send no more til you pay X.

And then they keep sending it.

I don't even know anymore.

My issues 15-18 turned up today but no premium gift as listed on my subscription.

Same for me

I believe some people that received them said though it had same date on invoice, that it came separately and later

If all four are just this, then I’m not sure people will be happy..

deano2099 wrote:Is anyone with a regular sub still waiting on that delivery? If not then it's pretty clear what the hold-up is.

Got mine today. That fits in with my expectation of about 14 days after money collected.

Danny76 wrote:If all four are just this, then I’m not sure people will be happy..

Is that all premium subs get on top of the regular stuff? Glad I didn't go premium then.

It is indeed.
Or for the first one anyway.

Reading it, the next three are just more cards (for units not gotten yet), boards (to make 4 boards total), and I guess even more dice..

That is in effect £30 of stuff per box, but I wouldn’t pay that for just that stuff.
I do hope more comes in the others to make it better value, for those that did premium.
(Stick a Mortarion in there for the last one for those who kept with it. That kind of thing..)

My 2000AD issues are late in coming as well.

Could be a festive backlog?

I managed to try another newsagent (not had any issue 19) and a big WH Smiths (no copies of 19, they didn't think they've had many if any in as they said they always send stuff back)

Is it a double sided board? Can someone take a photo please.

Premium contents were clearly advertised from the get go, at least for the first delivery. I orginally backed Premium then downgraded after analysing cost vs return.

Premium is for whales and doesnt offer much. The real benefit is just the subscription gifts themselves, which are fairly substantial. Tool, decent paint brushes, etc, all good stuff. This has a reasonable value and doesnt add extra costs, just the sub.

No issue with 19 around here, newsagent I get mine from had extras on the shelf and another had them in his window. Not been to Smiths this week but if small cash only stores have them then I'd be surprised if big stores who want them cannot get them. Maybe it's down to stores who place larger orders as there are about 10 people have it every week where I get mine from.

The Premium does look poor - I think it should have included the art book or at least chuck people in extra scenery sprue or something. If GW released that it'd not go down well.

A lot of people on the FB Conquest group are only just receiving issues 15-18 due to Christmas. I was lucky to receive mine on December 23rd but I can understand why others are getting them late.

As for the new issue being scarce, I don't know. My newsagent has two in the window, which means they have sold one, but after that I don't know.

I’d say it wasn’t ‘clearly advertised’ in that they showed that stock photo but didn’t say much more verbally what was coming, but yeah certainly as you say whether all four would just be the same etc.. It is there that I think people expected / wanted more from the premium costs they are paying for it compared to normal.
I think there will still be quite a bit of complaining in the coming days/weeks about it. (Unfounded as to me it was clear it wasn’t worth it - for me anyway - though clarity varies by person I suppose..)

I feel that I missed a bullet with the "premium" content. That extra £1.50 an issue, so £120 over the course of the entire subscription, seems like a swizz thus far. If the remaining three drops are just more data cards, dice and play board then that is very poor value. The board looks like a pretty small size as well.

It looks like 1x1.
Which means only 2x2 at the end.

Originally I thought they were gonna be 2x2’s to give you an ok starting board..

Glad I never bothered with premium at this rate.

as for clearly advertised, check out the earlier pages of this thread where people are asking whats in premium, talking to the publishers, who don't appear to know either.

I do hope those cards find there way to the main game, with all the options etc and the sodding point values (fat chance of that), and the way things go they will have an errata all of their own

Hi,

I subscribed on 1st January and have not received any communication.
I've checked my account and while I have a subscription, it show's no other details, such as post or payments.

Is this normal after 2 weeks not to receive your first subscription?

I've checked my account and while I have a subscription, it show's no other details, such as post or payments.

Is this normal after 2 weeks not to receive your first subscription?

Perfectly normal. Expect it to be 4 weeks from subscribing to receiving anything. What is your first issue number? If it's out of phase with the majority, you may receive a smaller or larger delivery to bring you inline.

If my calculations are correct, my (and the majority's) next payment will be taken on 25th Jan and delivered around 8th Feb. I would not be surprised if your payment is taken then.

Thanks for your reply.
Good to know, I was beginning to worry something was wrong!
I'm starting with Issue 1 but I was kind of under the impression that I would be continuously be about 20 issues behind?

I don't mind anyway, I don't play the game, I like the lore and novels and wanted to try my hand at the hobbying side of things

I've only just received issues 3 through to 6.
I don't think they play catch up with subscriptions

Yeah at no point will you catch up.
That would mean they’d be making you pay more a month at points which is something they won’t do.
Only way to catch up is to start the sub at the issues they’re up to and buying all prior ones (of which many are out of stock..)

I back-ordered an exta issue #1 when it was in stock a while ago, and the paintbrush with it was of notably better quality than the first one I'd gotten.

Mine arrive today...

Very interested in the rhino issue if it’s £7.99

It’s hard to make out the full description of issue 28 but I suspect the top bullet point is “Complete your rhino”. It is a 4 sprue model so would make more sense to have 2 per week for 2 weeks.

You can but the Chaos Rhino for about £18-19 through third party stores so charging £16 through the magazine feels about right.

How many issues are the dreadnought?

The easy to build model is 3 sprues so will it be 3 issues?

No-one has seen the cover to issue 24 yet but I suspect that is Build your Dreadnaught to go with issue 25s Paint your Dreadnaught with the sprues split over those two issues.

It says "Build" on 27 so it makes it sound like you get the whole thing in one go.

Same with 25 it says paint, could we get it all on 24?

I think that just means it would have the Building guide for the whole Rhino / Dread even if they dont have all the pieces yet as they will be quite lengthy instructions, with the full (also lengthy) painting guide coming in the next issue. I just can’t see them putting 4 sprues in one issue and nothing at all in the next when they could easily split them 2 per issue.

I would love to be wrong as a couple extra £8 chaos rhinos would be great, I just can’t see it happening.

It is apparently two parts for the rhino.
Two sprues in each.
From A Hachette employee source.

By that I would assume the Dread is too.. But we need 24, (or the back of 22/23..)

Yep, I reckon the Rhino sprues will be split over the build\paint issues, else it makes issue 27 far too good value and issue 28 seem like a rip off. Obviously all evens out for subscribers, but with people buying the mag individually I would imagine they'd sell an awful lot of 27's and hardly any 28's! Same for the dreadnought.

Also, for subscribers on the standard schedule you will end up getting the complete kits in a single delivery.

I might grab the Rhino issues, it's not crazy savings but still decent. The redemptor would only tempt me if it was the proper kit.

Still waiting on that Repulsor. Even split into three issues, that is gonna be tasty savings.

By inline with other I meant issues posted together. 1-2,3-6,7-10,11-14,15-18,19-22....... Is anyone out of phase with these? I started the sub on issue 4 and had 3 issues in my first delivery (4-6)

The publisher responsible for Conquest here in Spain (Salvat) has announced the issues (in order) of almost the entire collection:

Check it out, is in spanish, but you won't have any problems to understand: https://www.lavozdehorus.com/ya-a-la-venta-el-coleccionable-warhammer-40-000-conquest/

What issue are we up to in the shops, kinda lost track over xmas?

Ah yeah. I think they’d get you in line to the right sets of 4. As that’s necessary for some deliveries

Ace link, thanks.

Repulsor tank thing is 4 issues, 2 before the end according to that..
Before the end of the list there that is.

How much off of the complete 80 is that, anyone had a count yet?
I, gonna delve into it in detail when I get home.

@Spiritu: Exceptional link, thank you. Great to have it all laid out in black and white like that.

Also I love how the Lord Of Contagion is named.

The issue maths is wrong (well unless the Drone, 4 marine and Lord is actually two issues maybe..)

When you count down in 4’s and get to the PBC. You’re at three issues for the month. So the 4th would be that, but it’s a 2 model kit..

Actually, it is all correct, missed one line..

I’m now writing it all out, some good groups for the months..

Also some not as good months I suppose.
The list is two short from 80 issues...

Interestingly that list has the paints for the last one I got as Ceremite White & Khorne red, not the mephiston red and one I forget the name of.

guessing a mistake in this list as I can't see them changing the paints as that means changing the magazine

Actually on my photo prior to yours, I wrote to 78, but it is 80 exact.. (I put 31-32 for some reason, should be to 34..)

Just looking at how mine matches up to yours..

Always had a blind spot for 39.... and counting to four is often a problem

can you tell i used to work in a sales team yet?



very happy to be corrected by someone who can actually count

Anyone willing to put rrps next to these so we can work out best value and total savings?

Don’t count on me, my handwritten notes just had two in a block of four

Biggest question for me personally..

Does that chaos rhino get:

1. painted mint green and rust for death guard
2. painted khorne red for some world eaters who hate walking
3. paints in my marine chapter colours and given the unused razorback parts i have and thus built as something I may actually use?

Interesting mix of paint colours there though, wouldn't have thought either army needed enough red to justify a second pot of it, while surely you would need more blue and green?

Well unfortunately there’s those extra pots of metal green blue and black coming that I don’t want..
The highlight and dry colours like Necron Compound etc fine..

But not more Macragge Blue :(


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I’ll just paint it up for my Nurgle Marine / Non Death Guard srmy that I’m gonna use all these for. Whether it then gets the play, who knows..

have three pots of that blue, unopened, here, heck at this rate may have to find an army that uses blue to start

black is always useful, the death guard green is less so (mine are a 50-50 VMC pastel green and dead white), metals are ok though

Yeah I have three of issue one, so more than I’ll ever use probably.
Leadbelcher I just already had one, so now two, soon three.
But eventually yeah that can be used on armies.

That blue, every new army, kill team, generic painting piece - all Macragge Blue from now on

Thinking blue for terrain, most of mine is white (Prospero theme) with the only building really having red detailing, but the detailing colour could easily be varied between buildings to use some other colours up

pity the CoD buildings are no more really

I love the nurgling wearing the champions helmet. Great touch

Pity that the dread is across 2 issues. Might be good to get a bunch of land speeders for super cheap though.

Lol it's great.

I'm still a little puzzled by the decision to make Death Guard the most prolific Chaos force around for this cycle though. Using Ultramarines as the flagship loyalists is a no brainer, in part because their stuff is so vanilla/versatile. But all the rotting gribbly bits and bioplaguious zambonis and all mean their countetpart troops can only ever be some flavour of Death Guard. I'm not sure I understand the thinking there, if you're a newbie with some introductory type set and don't love the Death Guard's very distinct schtick, you're not going to be sold on the CSM.

Got my 11-14 delivery today.

Death Guard are in the current starter set and have a decent range of "easy to build" models which I guess sealed the deal

It’s also further back from that, the point where the sculptors were clearly having a field day making Nurgley stuff, so it then had to be worked into the current options - a Starter Set and book and so forth more.

As models is the first step in the process after all..

Aye, that's kind of what I mean though, clearly Death Guard were the designated newcomer Chaos faction this edition - hence the easy builds, DI, First Strike etc - I just wonder why not a more "generic" faction of CSM people could use as a platform for their own ideas.

And that’s the model reasoning unfortunately.

Everything stems from what gets modelled and begins at that point where they lead the way with creative sculpting, and books, units etc are all built from there

Cleaned up list with prices.

Note that for Dark Imperium and First Strike I've just split the value by sprue (so divide by 8 and 4 respectively). I've also taken the paint prices at 20p higher as they're going up next month.

Other thing worth noting - that article talks about one premium box per battlezone, and the magazine seems to have four battlezones, changing every 20 issues. The new battle mat with the magazine for issue 21 onwards is twice the size of the first one, so I would expect the premium hard board mats to also be larger in boxes 2 through 4.

£22.50 80. Sector Mechanicus Galvanic Magnavent (2/2) [two sprues]

Oh total value £1,109.19. £887.352 if you pick everything up at a 20% discount. Against £625 for the total magazine cost.

Only thing I did differently on my pricing list, is put £8 on each DI sprue. (Just magazine cost).

Problem is that box is full of a lot more (not least of all the big £30 odd rulebook, so the sprue value isn’t at a 1/8 cost.
(Probably even less than 8 really. I think most people are selling the half of either force for £30-35 on eBay etc).


But thanks for the work, allows clear view of the setup - and helps me decide where I cancel if I don’t go all the way.


Trouble is I think of the remaining stuff that I actually definitely want, it’d be cheaper to just buy GW.
So I might end up going to an issue by issue purchase grabb8g what I need, then any that sell out I go to GW/3rd to buy it.

I basically don’t want most of the paints (particularly repeats, but I have several of the colours coming too), none of Dark Imperium except 20 Pox and a drone, and scenery I can take or leave (though seen great value on that in here).

So very torn on what to do - after my 7th delivery for the final free gifts (and 8th I want the rhino anyway..)

Interestingly that list has the paints for the last one I got as Ceremite White & Khorne red, not the mephiston red and one I forget the name of.

guessing a mistake in this list as I can't see them changing the paints as that means changing the magazine

Yeah it's tricky. On one hand they are worth less because of all the extra stuff, on the other hand if you're just looking at picking up certain issues, they're worth more as you don't have to buy them all together.

Almost certain the full rulebook will be one of the opt-out extra "issues" - be interesting to see if it comes at a big discount. The other DI booklets they are basically re-purposing for the magazine itself, and we have the range ruler and dice. I'd be amazed if we didn't get the transfer sheet at some point too, probably in a two-paint issue.

Other thoughts: 4 more paints listed than on the poster, and there's no way any of the poster paints are thousand sons blue, nialakh oxide or screamer pink.

I would guess one of the runefang steels is a mess-up and it should be ceramite white.

Oh and the Alchomite Stack wasn't on the original poster at all, so guess it's a bonus even if we only get half a kit. The full hauler set is on the poster.

I wouldn't value the gaming mats at all as they are paper. They are useful as 'travel terrain' to keep at the bottom of your army box just in case, but it doesn't have value as product.

Dark Imperium is worth £11.88 per sprue, that is retail value of £95 dived by eight. Of course this omits the rulebook etc which you don't get but it values the sprues against getting them singly.

He did put £11.88..

The discussion is the fact you’re dividing just by sprues, ignoring the remaining content.
Ignoring all the other irrelevant bits but rules is a hefty portion of the cost.

So more accurately.

(£95-£35) / 8 = sprue cost.


But that’s just me, I wouldn’t want to individually pay £11.88 eight times to get those sprues and but then miss out on the rules, is what I’m saying.
However £8x8 brings to £64, which is roughly about right for not getting the rules from the £95 cost price.
(That’s just why I personally would value it at £8 each).


I think you’re right Deano we will see the rules - my guess would be £15 like the art, and I think all 4 will be £15.
So a great saving (and gets people full rules to expand playing past the subscription)

Also, spot on Orlanth.
To me those small paper mats are at zero cost, particularly if they’re all just like the one we already received (which they are going to be, as it’s only premium subs that get the heftier ones I’d imagine)

I guess what we don't know yet is how much of the rules will actually get printed verbatim in the magazine anyway

The second one is twice the size of the first one. Obviously like anything in Conquest if you don't want something it's not really worth anything in your calculation if they're not otherwise sold.

But given GW sell a Warhammer Underworlds board in hard cardboard, but half the size of the first mat and a quarter of the size of the second, for £15 then £10 didn't sound like a bad call.
(It also means GW would value those premium boards at £200+ which explains a lot!)

Of course, that board is a rip-off based on production costs but, y'know, so are all GW minis...

If they're the size of the one that came in the recent issue, they're suitable for Kill team. Saves you a bit more cash on that game.

You can always iron out the creases if they bother you.

Hmm... so the best savings are on the characters and, bizarrely, the humble land speeder. I had hoped that the receptor would go in on a single issue, but I guess the sprue for that are relatively new and they won't want to discount them too much. I imagine that the land speeder has probably paid for itself by now

It will be interesting to see how the Chaos Rhino sprues are split - the main Rhino itself is only really two sprues, then there are two more Chaos sprues with hatches, spikes, etc. So for anyone with spare hatch parts in their bits box, it could be essentially a complete Rhino for only £8 if they put the two main hull/chassis sprues together in the first magazine, which makes sense because they need to be built before adding the hatches and other bits later.

I think just the Core Rules and any relevant to unit rules we will get.

But rather I mean paying that amount to not get the actual hardback book means you’re getting less, irrespective of whether we get the rules itself in other forms..


Does that Rhino first two hull sprues make a whole normal rhino?
As if it does come with the order you say, then a great way to make loyalist rhinos, or chaos if you green stuff them or do a good paint job to chaosify etc to do it on the cheap regardless of existing bits..

Well I might risk getting an extra plagueburst crawler over the two weeks as that is a crazy saving.. but the Primaris Dread is only saving £3 compared to discounter prices, and the Primaris tank is saving a £5 over four weeks to discounters but I'd say as a non subscriber there is a significant risk of not getting one of the four sprues direct and then losing the discount trying to hunt it down from ebay.

Still a couple of individual DG characters I'd like to track down at half price.. but for the most part that looks like the main thing left I am interested in is the Crawler.

Safest way for the Primaris Tank is to wait till they are all out and order all at once, though of course by then people may have been ordering separately and earlier ones are missing.
Same is true of the PBC by the time the second one comes out, but I’m gonna try for sure.

Actually i agree with your logic, but when dealing with a boxset at retail you have to ook at it as 'how much would it cost me to get these items from GW'. The answer is £95. This ten has to be split eight ways and the additional components discarded.

The only way to handle that is to see if there is a rulesless copy one can buy instead. Know no Fear contains 5 sprues of Dark Imperium without rules for £50, its not complete but gives a fair rules free price of £10 per sprue.

I have kept my gaming mat from issue 18, to me it has potential as its heavy paper, but still paper. So not particularly resilient and easy to soil, but also very easy to sptore away on the bottom of an army case as a reserve option. The print on terrain is also handy for the same reason. Still can put a value to it, if it want there the issue would be worth the same, I wouldnt intentionally use it at all, but its worth not throwing away, unlike the tiny map from issue 2 which I ignored as worthless.

While not relevant to the pricing here there is a glut on decent boards. I am collecting the Killzone boxsets for £39 each at Alchemist workshop, GW price £50. The contents are very good value for £50. I am very impressed with Killzone Sector Mechanicus, the box was full of sprues and the pieces are larger than expected, there is a lot of terrain in even one box (I wont be stopped at one though). Its all over my desk right now

I just wouldn’t discard a £35 book from that box. Particularly when working out a price of something inside.

But I guess that’s exactly it, that everyone can out their own value on something.

£10 a sprue in line with the smaller boxes I suppose, but again when I look, it’s the cheapest rrp to get something I’d consider, so probably wouldn’t look at the £50 one, when there’s so much more for £95.


Yeah I think the card mats are ok, I may see their use in Kill Team, but to put a price on them is difficult..

The rule book seems to go for between £16-18 on eBay (for an unused one). Somewhere around £12-15 seems a reasonable assumed price given there is undoubtedly a discount for the box purchase.

I think it's down to how you look at it. My approach was to just say "okay, if I wanted this from GW, what's the cheapest way to get it?" - in the case of those 8 sprues, it's Dark Imperium. That's the cheapest way to buy them. You can't buy just the sprues on their own for £70.

The flip side of that is if they added the rules to the subscription for free, I wouldn't value the total value of the sub any higher because if you were buying the stuff separately, you would already have the rules from DI.

If we factor in the value of other things then the cheapest way to get all the paints, for example, is to buy the GW paint bundles, if you assume all the other paints are also have value.

And then of course the question of if the magazine itself has any value. We value a 250 or so page rulebook but not the 1600 pages of partwork...

Like I say, it's a rabbit hole. For me the only approach that seemed logical was "what would it cost me to buy all this?" - and where stuff wasn't on sale, how much similar equivalents costed elsewhere.

Lets face it, realistically an extra squad of plague marines would be better value than yet another plague marine character for 99% of people...

To be fair, those sprues for DI May end up becoming Start Collecting boxes for Primaris and Death Guard once there is a new starter box. So they may end up being "worth" £50-60 per faction. That's what happened with last editions AOS starter models.

The first two hull sprues make everything except the hatches and storm bolter on a normal Rhino, but anyone who has bought a few space marine tanks in the past will probably have spare hatches and storm bolters in their bits box.

That’s true. Seems most likely down the line.

I guess equally anyone who has the sub will get the hatch and bits Sprue in second issue.
So could buy the first one again and do the same.

If you don't order promptly you will not get it at all. This will be a recurring feature for all the multipart issues that are not individual independent sprues (the terrain).

The Rhino is in two issues, so the minor bits will be thrown in. It is not strictly one sprue per issue.

I've just Subscribed from Issue 1, am I going to get all the issues to date? Or are some issues out of stock?

They have all issues available to subscribers so yeah should get them all.

Orlanth, regarding the Rhino. He was saying It’s four sprues, so wondering if it would be the two body of rhino sprues first, therefore being useful as a single issue purchase to those who have minor bits

A lot depends on who is making the decisions, if its an accountant you will get one f the body frames and the hatches first, so you have to buy both magazines to get anything useful, if its a hobbyist it will be the chassis first, and hatches/spikes etc next time.

guess it comes down to how many people they expect to be buying single issues to get specific models, I would suggest thats probably a lot less of a problem than people may expect

Well, Partworks traditionally don’t do their whole run in store.

The release order will be curated to a degree, and set to best suit subscribers. So not sure bean counters particularly factor in?

Also to fit the magazine itself.
I.e. get the first portion built in one issue (so two sensible sprues together)

Hachette have been savvy over contents. They will not want a situation where people spam buy one issue and ignore another any more than they do already. I think the chassis will be split over two issues. The magazine contents are confirmed as one issue covering all assembly and one issue covering all painting. This highlights the holistic approach to Hsachette thinking on the vehicles pieces, quite separate to individual items like the Munitorum Containers which were repetitive over assembly content and wasted pages that could have provided more fluff.

The real frenzy will happen with the Plagueburst Crawler. the Repulsor may be one of the two capstone models along with the Mechanicus derrick. BGut the price over four issues is actually less competitive than some online retailers. But a Plagueburst Crawler for £16, having that, and another one, and another one on top of that.

I have been looking at the models I particularly want counting along the weeks.

Its not complete the above is copied over from my own collectors workfile and highlights only the issues I will want at least one more copy over over the subsciption. Non-subscribers willbe advised to make their own list. I annotated it at the top so you can read the column, but removed the order data as it was personal to me. Though I can say that some items are 5+ but most are a single copy extra. As you can see a lot of the good stuff is some way off and completing is in March 2020. By which time we might be into the rumoured Age of Sigmar partworks campaign.

Have the rumours of AoS actually come from anywhere though.
I’ve only seen people saying that it’d be good / they expect they would.

I think it is quite likely to be fair, but just hadn’t seen any kind of credible thing.
(With the similar amount of ETB it’s a good start, then the Soul Wars much like DI, should all fit nicely..)

But the 40k legends books came and we never got a fantasy side to it or anything..

Orlanth, regarding the Rhino. He was saying It’s four sprues, so wondering if it would be the two body of rhino sprues first, therefore being useful as a single issue purchase to those who have minor bits

Uhm that's very good reason why they would NOT do it. Not result in one magazine being spammed like that and others missed. And GW wouldn't want TOO good of a discount.

Well its unclear if the next one of these will be 40k again or AoS, but the fact there will be another one seems highly likely.

and likely to be under consideration for crafting a range of ETB models with such a magazine run in mind

I've just Subscribed from Issue 1, am I going to get all the issues to date? Or are some issues out of stock?

Shouldn't be an issue, no pun intended. Otherwise they couldn't ethically take your order.
You should probably prepare for delays though. I subscribed on the 1st of January, was told I would have my first deliver in up to 28 days.
I sent an email inquiring and was told it would be now 38 days

Just as a note, the warhammer tv video for 19-20 went up and it’s the last one, apparently. It’s likely it was only ever planned for the first twenty issues, though it’s also possible the Hachette/GW partnership isn’t working out as well as planned.

Surprised to not have the order details for issues 19-22 pop up on my online account yet, I have been getting deliveries regularly every 4 weeks. If that had continued I *should* be getting my delivery of issues 19-22 any day soon. Given the lateness of a lot of people's issue 15-18 shipment maybe Hachette are just rebalancing their delivery schedule?

Same.

My 2000AD stuff is also late.

Amused I am not. Up with this I will not put!

Given they’re launching it in other countries, yet to be declared, I suspect it’s not the latter

Perhaps the Hachette staff are some of those lucky beasts that get a fortnight off over Christmas and New Year? Not too concerned myself, I still need to paint the Biologus Putrifier and Primaris from the last delivery.

Out of curiosity, how many current subscribers would subscribe to another (different content, obviously) run again? Based on your experience, value from this one?

I'm Praying they don't do AOS, my wallet Can't take it!

I'm still subscribed to the Legends book collection and I have been very happy with the selection of books they have released, even when its been a book I have already owned. I do not have many HB books so to have an 80 book collection with a diorama on the spines, on my bookshelf, looks lovely.

For me it's down to factions , I was already doing a small Fists force and I have oddments of unpainted Chaos , plus I don't own DI. Paint is always useful as well. The key thing is that I can order it from the newsagent as I would not subscribe directly with Hachette as they outsource their customer service, hence why it's rubbish to appaling.

With AoS I have already owned and moved on from both Stprmcast and Nighthaunt, did not enjoy the various play style of either.

It’d probably be the kicker I needed to start AOS

I really don’t like AoS. Just a personal thing; it doesn’t look like a bad game system and the models are pretty cool... I just can’t click with the new setting. As such I’m rooting for another 40k partworks... or even better a Horus Heresy one; though I’m not sure there’s enough plastic 30k models to achieve this.

No not for HH I don’t think.
There won’t be another 40k, as it’d be too similar (maybe in years)

But AoS could, and I’d be surprised if didn’t, come after. But I would think not till this one finishes.
Makes sense to start with 40k the big hitter.
If two ran at same time then people might not buy both. But finish one, start another then sure why not.

Thing is, it would be all the same subscriber deals, and paint in issues etc. so who would need all that twice.

Another 40k one that was say, Orks vs Eldar would be different enough I would think - all different models, paint schemes and even rules to some extent. At some point soon subscribing from issue one will stop being an option at which point launching another similar series becomes viable. Because you're selling to two different audiences.

Collectors of the first set wouldn't be the target audience (in the same way people already playing 40K are not the target audience for Conquest).

AoS is the obvious next step - it's almost easier as it has that progressive play mechanic already built in to the rules.

But there's other options. There might be a desire to experiment with say, a Kill Team partwork at a lower price point (£4.99) with a mix of models, cards, paints and scenery.

Or even Lord of the Rings?

Worth noting GW recruited a while ago for a partworks division, which suggests more than just one concurrent project. Although with the series wrapping up I can easily see the next partwork being a complete Horus Heresy novel set.

I'm not subscribing but am picking up a significant number of the issues (and multiples of some)

and i'd do so again depending on what forces are on offer for either AoS or 40K although it would have to be once this one has finished or i'd be having to pick and choose on or the other most weeks

Any other subscriptions would be based on what figures they were doing.

Any pairing of other 40k forces, i would be subed,

AoS i don't really know the forces, but I'm already using oldhammer freemen as PDF. I'm sure i could use most combinations for something.

LotR seems to be less heroic scale, so doesn't fit so well. I'd probably pass on that, or just order the figures i want.

I'd love to see a kill team one though. Build multiple teams , covering each race or chapter.

I can't see the games having enough products to do them.

What could work though is the Citadel/GW collectors series. 40+ years of figures available, some virtually unknown in the wild.

AoS will (if) be Stormcast and Nighthaunt.
Much like this one, it is based on the starter set and the ETB kits.

I doubt we would see another 40k one just as it’s done, and Eldar & Orks to me (or any other faction in fact) seems unlikely as again, they don’t have those cheap throwaway (in GW eyes) sprues such as the above ones.

LoTR coming back round after AoS I could see. It was their first after all See how the GW/Hachette mix take it on..


Deano, what makes you think subscribing will become unavailable soon? I wouldn’t imagine that would happen till near the end of the year (maybe at the three month left point or so?)
The novel series is complete by June, but you can still sub from the beginning at the moment.

That's absolute nonsense, people have more than 20 issues. And the video means nothing

They meant the video was the last one...

Anyone else not had their January subscription yet?

Just logged into my account on their website and there's been no update to my account since 14 Dec 18, although it is still showing as active

Mine shows the same however Customer Services has informed me that my latest sub delivery was dispatched on 21 Jan. Allow 7 - 14 days for delivery.

Mine was last charged on 16th January and I've had nothing since early December.

Appeared on my sub for 19th Jan, so I guess on the way.
Though weirdly there are the 4 slots there for each issue like they normally have each time, but they are blank of detail aside from £7.99 for each..

Same here. No activity logged since 14th Dec. I expect it is on the way though. I wouldn’t take the subscription details page as gospel.

I rarely remember to log in and check there, but so far I’ve had no issues and it’s always turned up roughly same time.

Forbidden Planet have restocked issue 19 (Lord Felthius + tainted cohort) if anyone missed out.

Though it isn't showing yet, i expect my latest payment to have been taken yesterday. I have checked when each payment goes out and it's always the last Friday of the month. About 14 days later, it turns up on the doorstep. I expect if others checked their dates against a calendar, they'd see a pattern to the dates too.

I have my order in with forbidden planet for #19, 24, 25, 27, 28. Just hope the hull is all in #27, I've ordered 2 copies.

Have you done preorders from them before?
Do they wait and ship once the last ones out (so when 28 comes, you’ll get all of that?)

Hachette are defo behind this month.

Ok. Seems odd.
You’d think that they’d send all as one.
Presumably the postage would be better for them then.

It’s £2 for one and £3 for two issues. So if they post two preorders separate then that’s costing th more

First time trying them, i have had an email on Wed saying they have dispatched #19 though. I'm expecting to receive them individually .

On the payments taken, forget the first one, that is connected to sign up, the next is 28 days later, which seems to set the pattern. I would say yours is last day (or last working day?) of a month. I expect it will show up a few days after it's gone through giving 31st Jan as payment date. With the Xmas break seeming to have screwed other deliveries from them up, they could prove me wrong, and change it

2nd Nov isn’t my first, it’s just as far back as my banking app went without logging into the site..

End of August was first, but yeah it’s always been pretty much last day of month, with delivery around the same time (I think).



Well that bodes well for when I do individual issues, just waiting for the next batch (30 onwards) of issues to appear on preorder..

Just logged onto their site, which now states they took payment on 21 Jan 19. Something my bank hasn't picked up on yet...

Lets hope everything turns up this week.

The dates on their site aren’t the same as the dates it will show on your bank.
That’s their processing date.
Each month mine has some out end of month, After when the website shows

I subscribed on the 18th from Issue #1. Can anyone give me an idea as to how long I might have to wait for the first few issues to be delivered?

Within 4 weeks. It has varied for people starting late how soon the first comes..

And you will possibly get issues 1-2 or 1-3, followed by 3-6 or 4-6.
Thus getting you into sync for further months, as they flow 7-10 and every 4 onwards..

It's around 14 days after the payment is taken. My first payment was taken about a week after subscribing. I'd be expecting your delivery first week of Feb. Saying that, i expected my payment to come out Friday 25th, but not showing yet....

Unprecedented demand in the UK tied in with the Spanish launch means there has been no opportunity to build up stock for further international releases?

Others threads indicate GW is maxed out meeting the ongoing regular releases.

This January Hachette has started a test run in Italy, distributing the first 4 issues in newsstands around the country. It's also possible to subscribe for the first 4 issues.

According to what sellers know, based on the success of this test run they'll actually decide whether to continue with the whole collection or kill it in the crib.

There was enough of that just from people receiving the letter, who didn’t read the sign up info!

If the deliveries do start landing this week it means we are more in line with the shop release date with the last issue of the collection of 4 hitting retail just as subscribers get their delivery. Previously I was getting my delivery slap bang in the middle of the release schedule. It may make more sense to Hachette with regards to printing times?

I am interested to see if the art book is a bust like the premium subscription or something genuinely worth having.

Checked my subscription this morning, the latest payment was dated 25th January. It wasn't there yesterday. This does match with my prediction. I expect others will also see the same. Expecting delivery in a fortnight, so around 14th February.

Note to everyone.

Forbidden Planet have updated preorders up to issue 40, mid May i think (just before the Plagueburst, assuming the order leaked is indeed correct)

I received my sub delivery of issues 19-22 this morning.

The art book was included. Opinions will vary over its worth.

Personally I like it but it is definitely at a level I consider expensive. The book is smaller than other art books and comes with a slipcase.

Some of the art is new to me but I've never flicked through a Death Guard Codex so they may have been available before.

I got a "Sorry we missed you" letter from the post today and I'm 99% sure it's conquest unless there's something I bought and forgot. It has seemed like ages since the last one, must have been at least 6 weeks

Got my first issue today, Issue #1. Are there any other late subscribers? How long did it take for you to catch up, will they double up on Issues?

 Shadow Captain Edithae wrote:

They don't double up, I'm afraid. You'll always be a few behind. On the upside, you have plenty of time to plan what you want to do with each new mini?

Also worth mentioning that I got an early issue one as part of my subscription and then ordered an additional one for the extra minis and paint etc - the later one arrived in better shape and better packaging and the paintbrush was far better quality.

My impression is that they were rushing to meet the crazy demand early on, but later subscribers seem to be far less prone to shoddy quality/packaging, missing items or payment errors.

Ha! My first Issue came with a broken frayed paint brush and my mold line remover has no handle.

If I wasn't an experienced wargamer with all the tools I need already I would be pissed.

None of the mold line removers had handles, they are the very basic version.

It works fine without one. Possibly better.

Yeah it’s actually good for reaching areas when little.

Got issues 19 - 22 today, in a bag rather than a box. The art book is nice, although focussed on Death Guard and Ultramarines (a I was expecting). I like that it names all the artists for each piece.

Also, one of the background pages is about three Chapters who famously diverge from the Codex Astartes; the Iron Hands, the Salamanders … and the Ultramarines.

I bag too..
Not sure about that, folded a few of my edges a little there, had to press with a rulebook to flatten out.

That’s in the artbook?
Surely no one would make that mistake making these..
Of all the diverging chapters.
I’d say those three, when it comes to following it strictly are in the top half of it..
DA and SW would have made more sense

I got my subscription as well. The art book feels a little thin for £15

No, it makes sense. The Ultramarines have a pretty major divergence from the Codex. It’s one that is far more important than the Dark Angels’ and Blood Angels minor organisational discrepancies. Read it and you’ll see. it’s not in the art books; I already told you it’s on one of the background pages.

You were talking about the art book and then said background pages.
I don’t have it so don’t know whether there’s any background in there too.

I talked about the art book in one paragraph. Then I started a new paragraph, to talk about a different piece of information.

Yeah unfortunately it’s still about a month away of finding out.
As even the back of 25 probably will just show a Rhino, not have a built Rhino

Once someone gets a copy in hand, by any means, we will find out,.

#27 & #28

there is a list on page 45 of this thread with whats in each issue from the Spanish publisher, basically what exactly is in what is unknown for multi-part though, reasonably safe bet to say you're not doing much with the first issue alone though

I think he meant which Rhino sprues are in each of those issues, rather than issue numbers.

I quite enjoyed them too. I wasn't waiting on every one to be uploaded, but would look when i remembered, and the watch any new ones. Being behind, it meant i could see what was coming up in the number of sprues.

I'm leaving my art book sealed, keep the value up for when i sell it. I'm sure I will get over £20

People reported that they got issue n°1 in France, but it doesn't seems to be available everywhere yet.

It may well be the same 4 week trial we got in the UK (that was a small region of the country only in stores) and they're apparently having in Spain at the moment,

the full on launch was about 6 months later for us

For those of us who foolishly weren't paying attention (or in my case misread the letter) what's the correct way of cancelling future artbooks?

This is the only art book. The other three specials are apparently hardcover rule book, marine codex and death guard codex.

You can email customer services to ask to be removed from specials and that should be fine but you won’t havs the chance to opt in if you decide that you do want it. The usual process is they send you a letter in the preceding shipment advising what the special will be and giving you the opportunity to opt out.

Anyone know when the next binders are due to be sent out?

We don’t know that you can’t opt back in if you for now opt out of all.

And the assumed others are technically just wishlisting about being Codex and such. We’ve had nothing from any source yet confirming or alluding.
Though I’m in that camp that I think it will be. Just there’s nothing to suggest it, could be anything.

I am pretty sure they cost £8, so the cost of a magazine.

Was the first binder an opt-out, or was it just included?

Freebie for subscribers, ala the painting handle and stuff.

I have read somewhere they are £8 or £9, can’t remember where, it was somewhere in the faqs I think?

There's a 240-issue partwork starting now that gives you a 1250mm 1:200 scale kit of the Bismark. Funnily enough, all the promo material shows that full kit too.

What's sort of interesting is that's £9 an issue, more than even Conquest, suggesting that a future part-work could have a more expensive price (which would possibly mean more options in what they can include).

No, the full £40 kit (with the plasma incinerator option & Icarus rocket pod) rather than the £25 Easy To Build version.

Has anyone seen the first Redmeptor issue in the wild at retail yet?

My local WHSmith had 4-5 copies of the preceding issue with Battlefield Accessories on Tue 12/3/19, then nothing at all on Wed 13/3/19. Surely soon?

My work and home Smiths had no issues of the Battlefield Accessoriss (I tried to grab an extra copy with no luck). My work Smiths had one copy of the Redempter 1st part yesterday (They usually display at this branch from Monday but I wasn’t displayed until Wednesday this time).

Should have been this Wed,

but all my locals were sold out by the time I got there after work, which was a first other than the Lord Felthius issue which seemed not to have been sent out in the expected quantities,

so either really popular (not a surprise especially if many thought they'd be getting the full kit), or another insufficient copies problem

There were three copies on my local Asda (Coventry) yesterday.

It's actually only 140 issues so just over £1200. Still a rip off though, but then that's never (until now) been the point of these partworks. They provide you hobby stuff over time to put together weekly/monthly and spread the cost, but being good value has never been a selling point. The 40K one is weird in that respect. Though many would argue that's only because GW stuff is massively overpriced already.

The Bismark kit comes complete with motorised turrets and other rotating parts and lighting, I think; it's not just a plastic kit.

It's actually only 140 issues so just over £1200. Still a rip off though, but then that's never (until now) been the point of these partworks. They provide you hobby stuff over time to put together weekly/monthly and spread the cost, but being good value has never been a selling point. The 40K one is weird in that respect. Though many would argue that's only because GW stuff is massively overpriced already.

Bizarre isn't it? We are at a situation where a 'collect this weekly' partworks represents a significant saving over buying it in one go direct from the manufacturer...

Have to admit I am considering cancelling my sub, gives a nice saving but finding the models are just piling up (and I have plenty of other models I'm more likely to get round to finishing first). Do like getting a little box of hobby stuff each month but a lot of it is probably not stuff I'd choose to buy.

I'm also quite tempted by the Bismark and the 1/2 Scale Terminator that starts next week (also both Hachette, so they've shot themselves in the foot a bit there) as I feel I'm more likely to finish them as they're a bit of a change from GW stuff.

Got a little question here...

We have already got three Reivers and, in the next batch of issues, we get another three - but these are also a Sergeant and two grunts.

In the leaked list of what is coming in future issues, there does not appear to be any more Reivers, which makes the models we have a bit... odd. As it stands, I would dump the Sergeant in the second batch, and end up with a full squad of 5.

Or have I mis-read that leaked list?

It’s because it’s the easy to build kit twice, it’s not aimed at making the units work in game or anything.
Though it will work doing it the way you say.

Same with the Intercessors, you end up with an odd amount.

Conquest allows you to play with squad set ups that may not be legal in mainstream 40K.

I think the concept is that over the course of the partworks, the subscriber receives two self contained armies and a game system that does not require them to have any other contact with GW.

was pondering here on getting a box of Reivers and using the ETB sergeant to lead a second unit, have two squads of eight, or maybe three of five.

side point, any ideas when another binder is likely to feature, the one I have here has 20 issues in it and is a bit full

I think the next delivery will be the one that has a letter about binders.
I was surprised it wasn’t the delivery with issue 20 in, as 4 binders of 20 per, seems about right..

Is anyone keeping the painting and assembly instructions? The former is pretty useless unless you're genuinely new to the hobby and only have the paints supplied, and the latter genuinely useless after you've built the model. That's at least 2 binders saved! I've taken to tossing the back pages as well.

Ive kept the lot so far, still together in their issues just in the binder in fact. May get round to splitting by coloured section at some point..

Recently split mine, but put all except the front and back cover in the binder. I'm keeping the build and paint instructions, as I have not done more with the primaris figures than put them in a box, until I decide what to do with them. I'm also not following the paint instructions for DG, but doing my own way. they may be inspiration later though....

keeping the instructions, so that in say 30 years I can use my mind impulse link to the telepathic network to show gamers of the day that before the holographic animations they use we had to struggle with actual plastic, then explain what plastic was.

they won't believe a word of it of course

Unfortunately the wishlisting of special issues Of Rules, Codex & Codex can now be brushed away.

Still, Codex & Codex could still be a thing..

Feel like they could have done with giving the Silver Templars a bit more visual character if they're going to be the exemplar Primaris chapter... Nothing too overbearing, but their colour scheme and insignia feel a bit phoned in.
