What's the announcement, and which FB page is it from?

paraphrasing

we are sorry to announce our customer service team is too busy dealing with our latest raft of delayed & missed deliveries to deal with your customer services queries at the moment, we are aware that there have been problems

its on the warhamer conquest facebook page

Probably explains why I've not had a delivery for 5 weeks. Glad I'm not in the slightest bit desperate for these, if this was my only access to the hobby I'd be gutted.

I've just realised...…

with all the new price rises this is going to be even better value

hardly time to praise GW but if folk have been doing their sums to see what issues they wanted to get it might be time to recalculate

Would the price rises really affect much of the range from Conquest? It's mostly new stuff that's less likely to see an increase with a few exceptions like the Rhino...

Does anyone know what week we're up to in Australia? I've lost count.

If Hachette run an Australian retail site there should be an indication of which is the most recent issue. As a from the start UK subscriber, my monthly delivery is normally 3 issues behind the retail release.

Baseless speculation on the future as we're now well past the half way point? I wouldn't be at all surprised to see an extension of this - an extra 20 issues, new map, excuse to put out the Shadowspear Primaris units (and associated lore etc in the magazine). Plus throw in a bunch of Contrast paints and guides for using those. Not ideal as that means changing painting methods part way through an army, but I'm not sure that bothers GW too much.

Another series? I'm now thinking with the new Sisters range being out by the time this wraps up that we could see that being one of the factions - this partwork was really targeted at new/younger players, so a faction that would appeal more to women seems to fit that mandate of drawing in new players.

haha no way they stick Sisters in that quickly. Or probably ever. Going after more female players is one thing. An all-female faction in an entry level product where the majority target market still will be younger teenage boys won't happen.

If there's a second series, it'll be AoS with Stormcast and either Bloodbound or Nighthaunt - following the same template. Probably Nighthaunt as there are more E2B models in that range and it makes for a cleaner transition to the current starter set. Stormcast also have a fair few females in their range now, so I'd expect that to be leveraged within the add-on models.

Was I supposed to get another battle mat with issue 41? I definitely didn't, but t's probably not worth the hassle of contacting Hachette for it.

From my list, 41 appears to be half of a Plagueburst Crawler.

I think it was from 39, the issue with the Plague Surgeon, issue 41 is just the first time you actually use the new mat in a mission as issues 39 and 40 still use the old mat.

They aren’t going to extend this. (In my opinion)
And wildly off the mark of them throwing in models that are new or popular as they will just sell as is. (Sisters etc.)
Shadowspear stuff maybe, as use out of those, particularly once full kits are out.
But bear in mind, they’d have to add stuff to both sides. And Death Guard is pretty much done now..

AoS is coming next for sure I think.
Stormcast and Nighthaunt, as they are the current starters.
That may have one or two Contrast in, depending when it was written and planned I guess..
(I could see it coming around Issue 60 of Conquest, at trial stage if they do that again..)

Ahhh, okay. Cheers!

I'm confused, how does one cancel their Conquest Sub? Ring customer service? Email?

Moneys getting tight and I've gotten all that I really want out of Conquest for the time being. Need to get a gym membership.

I just told them on Facebook I would need to. They sorted it

I've emailed them.

Got a massive backlog already and thats just 20 or so issues.

I wanted to know when my next payment is due so tried to phone their CS i was on hold for ages and then got cut off, im not very impressed about that and will mention it next time i try, there was a recorded message saying there is a large number of calls at mo, i guess everyone is wondering what the hell is going on with their subs!

My issues of 43-46 arrived on Monday. Given all the horror stories and wailing and nashing of teeth, it was a nice surprise!

Yeah my backlog was about 30 issues when I cancelled (at Issue 30).
It’s just 9 more issues that I wanted anyway so I’ve ordered them all from FP.
I just get a single issue arrive every month to six weeks..

I'm a late subscriber so they've been shipping me 5 issues a month.

Just picked up my latest batch from the post office! So far I have actually painted one issues worth of models (as I wanted to try out Contrast paints).

My only criticism of the series thus far is that the forces feel a little top heavy, the Primaris side especially. Combined with my Dark Imperium set, I now have way more HQ choices than I can fit in a legitimate force org.

I dunno, I think there's enough stuff they could add to the Death Guard side. An actual DG squad box etc. But more importantly, they could expand into Nurgle Deamons.

The Transformers one just got a 20 issue extension I note.

Quick question on the Landspeeder coming with issue 47, which version of the model are we expecting. The original 3rd edition starter one (aka battle for veldros) or the newer version with the extra weapons.
I note the original poster for the collection shows an assault cannon on it, but the cover for the issue doesn't?

I know what you mean, suspect this is all down to what models they had available in "easy to build" type ranges though.

not too bothered myself, it means there is plenty of variation in what you get and with basically all plastic characters for both sides except the two big ones away you go.

combined with DI here as well which I think actually helps in some cases, not entirely sure what to do with all the various marine officers though, the Lt models work ok as "chapter ancients" and champions though so not too bad.

falling behind on the painting here though as while I can just about keep up it means nothing else gets worked on

Complaining there’s too many HQs when you add this to your existing collection is unfair. The target audience doesn’t have an existing collection.

The Marines will end up with three captains, two chaplains, three lieutenants and a Librarian, but there’s no duplicates, so it just means you’ve got more choice. Or you can just paint them for painting’s sake.

It has the Heavy Bolter, Multi Melta, Heavy Flamer, Assault Cannon and Typhoon Launcher.

Just picked it up.

Any news on wether or not GW has plans to also release Conquest in other countries in the future?

They've released it in Spain and Australia I know for definitely as others have talked about on this thread

I'm pretty sure the main driver for releasing it in other countries is Hachette rather than GW (although they'd no doubt have to agree),

so as long as it keeps performing I'd expect it to appear wherever they do magazines, but probably not elsewhere

 Esmer wrote:

The Conquest magazine is not a GW product. It's by Hachette. There was a testrun of the translated magazine for a short time in Germany. They sold the first issue in a few magazine shops in southern Germany and allowed people to order subscriptions (company in charge was Internationale Presse (Ip)). But before anything was delivered they sent out letters to subscribers that this was a test, it would be ended and no magazines would be sent. They let it open if there is going to be anything in the near future. Now the german website is gone. No idea what they are planning. I guess there wont be anything anytime soon. The english magazine can be bought in Germany though, there are some online sites offering this service, it costs a bit more because of the shipping.



A bit of info from back then when it was announced

https://www.magabotato.de/2019/03/warhammer-conquest/

There was a long delay between the first UK tests (again in a small local region) and the full roll out of the magazine (I want to say about 6 months) so it wouldn't surprise me if Germany got them in a similar time frame

(especially since Hachette UK has finally dropped the earl y issues from their single issue ordering bit online which presumably means they're no longer going to be doing any more reprints of those issues so the GW manufacturing capacity which was being devoted to them will now be available for launches in other countries)

That would be great, fingers crossed

If anyone tries a new UK sub at present, the earliest option is to start at issue 19.

Thanks, very informative. That sounds like rather shady business, I'd probably be very frustrated if I ordered a sub only to be told that it was actually just a test run after already having received the first couple of issues.

Forbidden Planet stock it (https://forbiddenplanet.com/274652-warhammer-40k-conquest-figurine-collection-46/)

Was in there yesterday topping up my 2000AD collection, and nearly snaffled three Primaris Chaplains to be sold on to fellow Looters. But I declined in the end.

This week's issue is the basic Landspeeder (HB or MM option), which isn't bad for £7.99.

For the UK test run, I never received any issues when I subscribed.

I received an email telling me that it was a trial and no issues would be sent until the main launch at a later date. As a thank you for being an attempted subscriber, my first three issues should I continue with the main launch would be free.

Short version, no one who subbed at the UK trial received any issues or were charged any money.

In the UK we got the first two (I think) free and the next two for half price iirc.

No I got 1, 2 & 3 free.
Though for what it matters that’s the same difference. As 3 & 4 were both at full price by then, so you basically just had to pay £8 for the whole first month.


Also, going further up, there’s nothing really shady about the trial.
And it will get full release soon without a doubt..

It's standard practice for partworks, I've done loads of trials (knowing they were trials) so I could see what the mag\parts were like, if you subscribe you may or may not get the magazines (think it depends on stock) but you wont be charged and sometimes get a special offer when the full run starts.

Bit more annoying if you buy it from a shop, but real-world trials are done in limited areas and you generally get an option to get a refund or free issues when the full run starts.

Update.

I was wrong. It's the full Landspeeder Kit. Rocket pods, Assault Canon, Heavy Flamer, Heavy Bolter and Multi-melta.

Not bad for £7.99.

I'm really not up to date on rules for SM but I really like the look of the build with rocket pods (is that typhoon?) on the sides. What other weapons to pair it with Assault cannon? And ???

I've read around in the German forums a bit and apparently the subscribers were totally unaware that it was just a test trial and were only told so after already getting hyped for receiving the full sub.
Personally, I'd feel frustrated too.

The UK wasn't told it was a trial either

(but admittedly those that knew how Hachette works figured it out as soon as it was clear only a small geographic region was getting stuff in store which is their normal trial method)

Forbidden Planet have just shipped my extra issues of #47 and #56. I wonder how they managed to get #56 so early, and none of others i’ve ordered in between...

Passenger weapon on any variant (model wise) is Heavy Bolter or Multimelta. Kit comes with the Missile Pods for Typhoon, as well as underslung Assault Cannon or Heavy Flamer.

And it seems fairly easy to make them all interchangeable.

56 rings a bell as one I’ve ordered.
Typhus?

It makes sense, as I had a charge from them today , but my next order is several random issues all from further down the line.
I was wondering what was going on..

In the UK we went through everything you guys are, so no need to worry.

I have had something similar twice now. I had emails and charges for #68 and a week or two later for #71 so I rang them. The guy who I spoke to didn't know what had happened but they haven't had it in stock but for some reason there system triggered it to charge and send. He told me it's now showing on their system as an unfulfilled back order and it will automatically ship when it arrives. Even though on my account it just shows as shipped.

Did they say what would happen with the payment? Remain paid for and just ship when the time comes?
I’ll have to keep watch and make sure there isn’t another charge when the issue is released and such..

Oh bugger, i’ll have to ring them if it doesn’t arrive with the issues of 56 (intercessor squad, 2 Lt’s and ancient Danny).

Danny76 wrote:

It will just remain paid for unless you request a refund. The consequence of a refund is that it'll cancel the order for that issue. So you'll have to reorder it (& the same thing could of course happen again) plus you will have to pay separate postage on the new order as it can't be added back into the old order. I ordered over 20 issues in one order when they put the final lot up for preorder for 2 reasons.

1) To combine postage as the whole postage charge was only £5.50 for everything!

2) To be high in the queue for priority in case some issues were over ordered

Yeah that’s why I ordered every issue I need between them updating their items listed and the end of the collection.

This is the first one of this batch to be sent so it’s got the postage on too.
But as long as when it comes I don’t get charged again then it’s no worries for me.

Just got another update though, saying #56 dispatched.
That can’t be an automatic thing after taking money, or to me would bring into question every time they send a dispatch email it’s just auto and not actually them sending..

So what have they sent if so..

I'm expecting mine to turn up today or tomorrow Danny, so I'll let you know if #56 is actually in it.

Still no sign of my issue 47 and possibly 56, now wondering if they’ve not sent either.... will give it until weekend then contact them.

I just got my 3 no. 47s from Forbidden Planet. All the weapon options... nice

Now to.make more walky things

phillv85 wrote:

No nothing. Normally within a day of the email I receive them, but certainly by this time usually.
I’ll see by Monday perhaps. Let me know how you get on..

Got my 47’s, not sign of the #56’s though unsurprisingly. I need to give them a ring to make sure it’s all ok.

I sent a message. I assume I’ll hear nothing till Monday though.

Forbidden Planet website has issues 41, 42 for the Plageburst Crawler available again for those who want to grab a bargain and avoid scalpers.

For those who have gotten #47 - what shape did the sprue turn up in? Land Speeders were a little notorious about bending or breakage in that "bridge" section between the pilot and gunner.

mine seems to be ok

My 2 copies of #47 turned up fine, so far the only problems with "damage" i have encountered have been the Rhino issue #27 the main top piece of the Rhino has come squashed and bent but not broken.

Thanks guys - Timmy, you mean the "fenders" on the front of the Rhino?

My 13th subscription delivery arrived just now (issues 47 - 50). Since that came with another ring binder it was delivered in a box, so the Land Speeder sprues were fine. Things might be different if you're ordering issue 47 alone.

One thing I hadn't expected - only two bikes (the poster with issue 1 shows 3). I wonder if the third one will turn up with the attack bike?

It looks like the third bike will be in issue 53.

They split up the bikes into two separate issues. 1 in one and 2 in another.

mine turned up today, I have to say I'm seriously impressed by the paint guides - not that I'm following them as my colours differ, but the way they have done the cultists is very good with a pretty step by step guide.

didn't expect much of the magazines, but have actually been pretty impressed so far.

Decent scenarios as well

The third bike is in issue 53, with the Attack bike being in 58.

From the Hachette website for non-subscribers who were interested in the two additional books made available.

Conquest Art Book:

https://hachettepartworks.com/warhammer-40000-conquest/warhammer-40000-conquest-art-book


Silver Templars Source Book:

https://hachettepartworks.com/warhammer-40000-conquest/warhammer-40000-conquest--silver-templars-sourcebook


As someone who likes physical books, GW art and didn't own the Death Guard Codex or Dark Imperium, I quite enjoyed the art book. If you are a Space Marine fan or just love additional background, the Silver Templars book may tickle your fancy. It is NOT a Codex and has no rules.

I'll have to say that the books are well worth it from a collectors point.

The art book is mostly stuff we have seen, but it fully credits each artist and year so it gets a big plus from me on that alone. With so much art cropped, grayscaled etc. It's nice to see them in full colour as is.

The silver Templar book is great. Lots of lore, background, and lots of painted models to copy if you wanted. Contains a short story. Honestly the quality and substance is there you could add a two page rules/relics like from index Astartes in awD and you'd have a solid mini Codex.

Probably deserves it’s own thread, but AoS version: https://www.warhammermortalrealms.com/

(What I find most surprising is the price hasn’t gone up. No sign of premium this time either)

Great! As it mentions a survey this may be a test run initially, hopefully not too long until full launch. Surprised they went with a 10 model unit (and an additional 3 model unit) for the £2.99 issue although no paints with first issue this time around and being given out much slower. I am surprised they didn’t go with Contrast.

(What I find most surprising is the price hasn’t gone up. No sign of premium this time either)

I don’t think Premium appeared as an option during the trial as those who had already signed up during trial had to email them to upgrade to premium which is one of reasons I suspect this is a trial.

It did not.
The full release is where everything was added.
There was a survey between too, where questions like that were added..

I did wonder about Contrast, but I guess for that to be worthwhile you need a spray undercoat. Doing Wraithbone on everything by hand, then doing Contrast over that doesn’t save much time. And the focus on younger players means sprays may not be an option.

I’d wonder if this was written back when Conquest was.
So will be very similar and lots of copy paste.

We don’t know how far before Contrast, or whether they would know about it, etc..

There is also the want for sales from GW.
Contrast is their new shiny paint range, they don’t want them thrown in magazines. That’s for the mass produced to this point regulars, which are just sat about everywhere.
That’s like those who thought Contrast would get added into Conquest, just unlikely.

It is the same as when a few people say, oh maybe when sisters release, a themed box will come out, vs Orks or whoever.
I’d be so surprised if that every happened. As when something new comes (particularly a whole army line), they was to sell full price kits, not bundle the, in a deal. Same reason no SC for ages after a release..

As an aside, if you're really interested in the first issues, sign up now.

If it turns out to be a trial launch, Hachette will let you know and you'll be charged nothing. If it is like Conquest, they will also say thanks for applying and offer you the first three issues for free should you subsequently join up at the full launch.


Whoops. Wrong thread!

While I love getting cheap models, I think taking on 2 new AOS armies is beyond my reach. I'll have to turn this one down, although I am tempted to add to the pile of unopened 40k mags I have

Trial copies of issue 1 have apparently been spotted in shops in the north east of England (the usual trial area for any new products). I wouldn’t expect them to be seen anywhere else except maybe Scotland.

Yeah the survey is just for those who have gotten the trial issues.
Click yes and there are a wonder of questions

Now available in France.

Get them while you can. The Rhino and Plagueburst Crawler issues are an absolute bargain.

Is there a France based version of Forbidden Planet that will ship to the UK?

The land speeder one is pretty good as well.

I know most people here probably don't need to read the painting guides, but they're quite good and have a lot of decent tips for beginner and intermediate painters re highlights and such, down to which part of the brush tip to use for which area job and why. I presume they had to be purpose written given how specific they are to figures, paints and tools somebody would have at each point in the subscription.

For a newbie it would be really useful stuff, because they do gently explain the underlying visual concepts (eg "this grey is for highlighting hard black metal, this one is for soft black cloth" or "we'll be using this red crescent to give the impression of a glass lens, we'll come back later to highlight")

I just mention it because one of the ones I just received has a pretty detailed guide to using Astrogranite and washes to base as swamp, mud, or cityscape, and another explained why drybrushing would be used for one piece of terrain while manually painting touches on another. Nice touch.

Forbidden Planet has the cover pictures for up to issue 68.

https://forbiddenplanet.com/catalog/?q=warhammer%20conquest&show_out_of_stock=on&sort=release-date&page=1

What’s the source of the objectives in issue 64?

64 is Astrogranite so did you mean the objectives from 61? They are from the Urban Conquest box and a believe a change to the contents shown on the poster which were the regular objectives set.

Edit: just checked original leaks and 61 was meant to be the big servo crane which looks to have been dropped. 71 was meant to include the original objectives so will have to see what appears there.

I was tempted towards Urban Conquest by those objectives. So glad I didn't.

That's my additional orders to my sub copies gone into Forbidden Planet.

Lots of painting and building to get into when I'm home in December.

Anyone else not had any money taken during September?

Billed as usual here, expecting the delivery possibly tomorrow or early next week

nice to add more to the "not had time to touch these" pile

People still keeping up to speed with this?

Don't know if anyone else has been doing this, but I started a journal of sorts when I got the first issues and, well, have been continuing it for every release since!

https://ttgamingdiary.wordpress.com/category/miniatures/warhammer-40k/conquest/

Just finished the latest batch of Mechanicus terrain (minus the Alcomite Stack, which arrived while I was painting these), and it seems the end is in sight as we thunder along to the last issue...

I get it,

keeping up with it not so much although I do have a pile of build terrain waiting to be gap filled (so annoying when they're nowhere near as good a fit as the minis)

Up until work keeping me away from home (late Aug), I was up to date on the Plague Marines and doing well on the Space Marines.

I hadn't really touched the terrain having bought most of it at original release.


I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing in early Dec but I believe I've also had the Heroes 3 box set arrive from Japan so there may be a small diversion.

I still have my sub to it, and also order extra issues here and there for particularly good issues. I’ve nowhere near kept up with it. I have a box full of issues I’ve not even opened yet (mostly terrain pieces, as my box of ‘to paint’ terrain pieces is still full). I can’t believe we’re now 3/4 of the way through it. I was waiting for it to come out for what feels like so long.

waiting for it to come around here. probably will die to old age before that happens though

Ooo, do you have a handy link to grab Heroes 3?

At one point I had everything at least base coated and I felt like I'd achieved something

I'll collect to the end, I'd be well up for another run (with different pieces obviously) when it's wrapped up, I really enjoyed this.

Mine came via a contact on the Facebook Looters group. Try via the link that still lives in Mad Doc Grotsnik's sig as I cannot access FB at present.

I assume the box is the Series 3. The Long Haired Admiral tells me the package has come from Japan and I haven't ordered anything else from there.

This is the link you want, join the group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1710575492567307/

then drop the helpful chap in Japan a line as described in the top post below

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1710575492567307/search/?query=series%203&epa=SEARCH_BOX

Forbidden Planet have images up to issue 74 now. The last of the Deathguard Characters and the Chaos Spawn are up.

Best double check my pre ordered issues are the right onesthen

Well that was weird.

I happen to have two copies of issue 50, the Chaos Cultists one, and decided to assemble all the lads tonight.

One of the sealed sets of bases was one base short. Rats, I thought, I'll dig one out from my junkyard later. Carried on and opened the second issue to assemble those in the meantime. That packet happened to have an extra base?

Win I guess?

Another exclusive coming up. A paint guide for Silver Templars, this includes paints (looks like 10, but can't tell if 12ml or full size pots), 5 Intercessors and lieutenant, transfers and flip-over paint guide. This is subscription only and automatically sent, unless cancelled. The cost £34.99. My rough calculation is (based on full size paints) around £50 worth of stuff.

Not everyone is on the same delivery pattern, but my letter came with issues 63-66

Saw that, and quite liked the idea of it. I did a quick review of the Silver Templars book and said at the time that I could see myself doing a few marines from the chapter, but there was no way I was going to freehand the chapter symbol.

Problem solved!

Got my letter yesterday. I'm on the fence with it - would be nice to know which lieutenant and paints you get.

From the Sprue shot it’s the Wake the Dead lieutenant.

Great!! Perfect primaris emperor's champion!

Haven't touched my Primaris figures (except an extra dreadnought I got), so IF i get it, I know what I'll do them as. Especially so if they are full size paints.

had the delivery today with the letter, looks like full sized paints.

wondering on the colours, guess yellows will feature as we already have silvers.

seems the idea is "(moderately) high standard painting", so guessing will use a mix of whats already been sent then a bunch of paints you may not use much of but visually make a difference.

wondering if they would stick a couple of contrast ones in? you know, to introduce that? from the pots guessing not but one of them in a light colour looks larger than the others so who knows?

actually enjoying this series, have signed up for the Sigmar one as well.

doesn't help that I've been moving house so haven't been able to actually do anything since August

Just received an email from Hachette, relating to my 2000AD Ultimate Collection subscription.

That Email Wot I Received wrote: We wanted to let you know that we are currently in the process of moving to a new customer care centre. We are aware that a large number of customers have recently become frustrated with our customer service and we have decided to appoint a new customer care company. We take our customer satisfaction very seriously and have made this decision to improve your customer experience.

Hopefully this will bode well for the future of Conquest and the forthcoming AoS equivalent.

That could be good going forward, although for me Conquest is nearing the finish line and I can't do the AOS one due to having far too big a backlog.

Hopefully it's positive news and not them running off to India (or similar)

but they certainly needed to do something as when you regularly mess up getting the magazine to huge buyers like WH Smiths the poor individual customers have no chance

TBF Good customer service is not related to a country, it's who you hire, guidance provided and how much you invest in technology to aid it. Amazon of sgreat and its outsourced largely to India and the Phillipines. Capital One is the Phillipines and Malaysia. By contrast some of the worst service via phone I've had has come from many UK centres.

I'm not 100% certain Smiths is blameless in this, it looks like a lot of local newsagents like mine had no problems at all provided they ordered in time, I think it's more likely that Smiths needs to improve its subscription system...... Forbidden Planet likewise had very few stated problems.

The final covers are up on Forbidden Planer.

75 - 78 are confirmed as the Repulsor with the final two containing a magnavent walkway.

Nice that I don't have to change my advance order for the Repulsor issues.

Thanks for the heads up alphaecho. I've ordered some extra walkways. I'm not bothering with the Repulsor, I already have 3 I bought before, and will get a 4th with my subscription.

To be fair, I've had one issue with them and it was quickly dealt with. Landspeeder magazine came with a duplicate of one of the sprues instead of 3 different ones, and they sent me a spare one after a quick message to their Facebook page. I have seen a lot of people moaning on their posts though, so it is possible there's been a lot of problems. It's also entirely possible that entitled man-babies have failed to contact them politely with useful info. I'm not necessarily including everyone who's had terrible customer service from them in that, but that, combined with the ease of making your dissatisfaction visible on the internet could give the impression they've been worse than they have. (I did hear a lot of negative things about Hachette in regards other parts works prior to Conquest starting, but again...sometimes the makeup of the market might skew things a little)

Bit sad that they have taken so long to make a change to their customer service team if there's been as much warranted negative feedback as it seems, what with Conquest ending, but maybe it'll help for people taking up the AOS version. They certainly seem to have taken the feedback on board about the Premium Subscription's value, looking at what the new one has compared to a couple of pizza boxes and some cards.

this "man baby" has tried to contact them, took three weeks to get an address change done.

mostly because after five minutes their phone system hangs up on you, and when it does occasionally connect its the very worst VOIP line I've ever come across

no issues with the magazine, but whoever thought that call centre was acceptable wants shooting

How many spruces does the repulser have I thought it only had 3 yet its spread over four issues

3 sprues, a base flight stand and transfers (which I've not seen in conquest yet) so the 4th could be those extra bit

or normally 1 in 4 issues is paint so it wouldn't surprise me if one of the issues is a pot or two to paint it

Coming to Germany from 8 Jan 2020.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/12/27/warhammer-conquest-germany/


Enjoy!

I've found it to be well worth it, not having a Death Guard or Primaris army previously.

Any ideas on the actual price?

any idea when the extra paint set and book is shipping? or any idea what colours are in it yet?

I expect it’ll be in the January shipment - in three weeks or so.

Looks like a couple of yellows (Base and Layer?), three reds (Base and 2 Layers), two browns, a light grey and a beige (looks like a Layer) plus what looks like a medium or varnish.

I’m halfway through the painting process, following the instructions in order. Not looking forward to edge highlighting fifty-odd models in one go when I get to that issue ...

Primaris Marines I find a pleasure to edge highlight. Death Guard I absolutely hate though!

doing my own scheme here, discovering that basically I have one army in blue (Napoleonic French), and thats a different blue so have a bit of blue paint left over..

saw that set looked like yellows and its partly why I fancied it.

as for edge highlighting, I feel your pain, I have a fair few marines (already had a starter set of them) with probably six or so edge highlighted, and that mostly via drybrushing

have to say the actual paint guides have been a heck of a lot better than I expected and have been cleverly done around the paint choices. Just a surprise they didn't do the Silver Templars (?) as the base marines, given the silvers are also used on the Death Guard for weapons and it would have been a bit different (with the chance for a mini codex as part of it), seems odd to have the focus on them while the models are all smurfs

wonder if the only reason its not come to the USA yet is they think they may struggle meeting the volumes required?

I've been waiting for Conquest to hit the states for a while now, i've heard all the arguments against it, and there are other options, but nothing quite like what GW is offering.
I was hoping to order this for my nephew whos just getting to that age, and i figured this would be a great way to introduce him to the full hobby.

I have no clue why this hasn't been released here, although GW does have a pretty piss poor record when it comes to this sort of stuff (see SoB).

What do spur from Issue 46: Plague Sorcerer + Blightbringer + Space Marine (Models: Models from Dark Imperium) look like?
I can’t find it in my junkyards.. Because I always slashed all spurs in the junkyard before my wife see what Conquest magazine come with. Just start building and painting Death Guard this week.

[Edit]
Never mind. Found it! Didn’t know it wasn’t green.

Spawn issue arrived. Now I’m wishing I ordered two. I can’t decide what bits I want to use, too many I like!

Though I do have lots of old pieces of things, I’ll see if I can find a body like part, build the spawn parts from there maybe..

Actually thinking on it, I may expand that search to non GW parts, Mantic and such I’ve got stuff from, something somewhere might suit..

Really? I think we will have other 2 in next month.
Not yet get issues 71-74, I was very unsure about spawn... I will find out soon.

Other two what?

Danny76 wrote:

We will get 4 spawns. (I think?)

No more spawn are coming, we only get the one set.

Not me -- I bought four copies of that issue.

I got a few extras as well, they’re excellent conversion fodder.

Yeah the four issues this time are paints, tallyman, the Spawn, & the objectives Sprue.

Then the next four are the big tank. Repulsor.

After that it’s the two scenery things. Galvanic Magmavent.

Still waiting for this in the US

It looks like the last 2 are only the walkways from the galvanic magnavent. It seems we had the other parts earlier.

That sounds about right. They are bits I didn’t need so I just ordered the spawn and tallyman with everything else I had wanted from FP.
So only Tallyman to come now for me..

Ohhh. I didn’t know that. Spawn are pretty easy to made anyway.

I was wonder what happened after issues 78? In list guessing issues from page 1 did put in issues up to 80 but that’s not 4 issue a month for delivery?

The first and last deliveries are only 2 issues if I remember correctly.

The remaining issues now are:

73: Nihilakh Oxide and Nurgles Rot paints
74: Tallyman
75-78: Repulsor
79-80: Sector Mechanicus Walkways

anyone had that special paint set delivered yet?

expected January delivery about two weeks ago here, but nothing yet, nothing on the website either, no DD taken either.

did notice last delivery was charged for a binder that never showed up though

I was on issues 66 - 70 include binder last December and I am waiting for next wave.. It was overdue right now and less than 10 days left before February.

that was the one 66-70 according to the website should have had a binder, the binder issues have all come in a box, but these came in the black plastic bag, wondering if the binder is coming in the box for the next lot with the extra paint stuff here.

expect this is due to the warehouse move, but would have been nice to at least get a "sorry the next issue will be a bit delayed" letter, at this rate it will be eight issues arriving at once

Yeah as in my post it’s just the Galvanic bit, walkways only as Phil added.

It’s just a delivery of two, as Issue 1-2 was for the first lot.

*Delays to your deliveries*

Dear subscriber,

As you may be aware, we have recently moved to a new distribution centre and have been working hard over the past few weeks to manage this changeover. Unfortunately, the transition has led to some delays sending out dispatches. We are very sorry that these have affected your subscription to Warhammer 40,000: Conquest.

We expect the delays to continue until the end of February, however, please be assured that your overdue copies will reach you in due course and from March onwards your deliveries should be back on track with the original schedule.

Please also be advised that our returns address has changed. If you decide not to keep a received issue, you must send it back unopened within 14 days to the following address:

MDA Swift Park

Are partworks a thing in the USA? I would imagine the size of it would make them difficult.

For the most part, no.

But I don't think the size should deter any company from doing this - with a little planning, forecasting, etc., it could easily be made to work here and, I'd imagine, it could be a big success for all parties...

had the email as well, sounds like a facility move isn't going to plan somewhere.

ahh well, at least they have (finally) admitted the problem, pity its so close to the end of the run

Aha. Thank for that. I was keeping checking for delivery to come before my wife saw it. Haha
Now I know.

Although I initially considered the late delivery to be a bad thing, I am not due back home until late Feb/ early Mar.

Late delivery has now become an additional chance to intercept the larger box containing the Silver Templar additions before the Long Haired Admiral sees it and, you know, judges.

The email says things should be caught up by March - which is when Conquest ends anyway. All it means to me is another few weeks to get caught up some more with the backlog.

Hmm. I didn't get any such email about my subscription. Although it would explain why I haven't had either my December or January deliveries yet.

Has hit the 2000AD Ultimate Collection too.

In theory, I’ll get four issues altogether.

wondering if for Conquest this will end up with the last ten arriving as one delivery, with the extra paint set, and I hope the missing binder?

you hope the Mortal Realms one was set up at the new facility, otherwise the idea of launching it during the move seems pure folly?

If you’ve only got three binders, that’s because there was a problem with your delivery. All four binders have been sent out to subscribers along with issues 67 - 70 in December.

Mortal realms seems a total screw up, trial subscribers had an email back in first week of Jan stating we needed to, again, give payment details and another email would state how to do this. Which was never sent. On mobile devices you cannot enter the info even when you find the right page.

Then after that the page never acknowledges it has your info.

I've received nothing , a random letter turned up yesterday confirming my subscription.

I'll be cancelling after the first delivery and have already reserved with my local newsagent like I do with Conquest.

Whoever runs hachette must surely realise that having a piss poor website and delivery service kills their subscriber numbers and reputation, surely ?

these days customer service seems a lost art, their web site is indeed terrible, seems it will accept info (except if it doesn't like your browser, or the day has a 'y' in it), but then the website doesn't actually update for about a week so you have no idea if it worked or not, which seems weird.

apparently changing customer service company, because, of course, they have outsourced it to the lowest bidder nd that went as well as can be expected.

phoned to try and shift to the premium package, was advised to wait a few issues and call back as that would reset the payment details (wtf?) as they would have to cancel the sub and set up a new one and it would cancel the free issues...

expected the delivery with issue 1 & issue 2 about the time issue 2 hit the shops, still no sign of it, though the website does have three blank lines with dates next to them which may mean 1, 2 and the modelling kit have shipped.. but who knows?

I too now have dates, with Issue one and two listed and the third blank.

I had the email saying to put details in too, but when that email never came I just assumed they’d sorted it.
And now this bit has come so it’s all on track really

Interestingly the dates say the 14th. Not sure how that compares to others. But that should mean arrival any day now.

Just had an email to say there will be an exclusive Silver Templars novella included in the penultimate delivery now (which will be £9.99 extra).

It's called Blade Oath and is by Andy Clark.

Thankfully Forbidden Planet just sent me my last issue, 74, that I was still waiting for so it won’t affect me.
Annoying for any particularly if further back in the sub

Issue 75 is the first of the repulsor tank issues

the sprue in it is the one with the top hull & front plate

https://forbiddenplanet.com/279502-warhammer-40k-conquest-figurine-collection-75/

Just so I can twist the knife a bit more, how much will a Repulsor end up costing via the "Conquest Partworks"?

Maximum of £23.97 if it’s spread over three issues.

annoyingly it's down as 4 issues so whether we get the transfers or some paint in the extra one we don't know (and again i'm assuming the non sprue issue will be the last one, but it doesn't have to be)

The last issue is supposedly the base and clear flying stand.. which you can.. kind of.. do without as long as you have a spare 100mm base.

Yeah it’s just the base in issue 78.
If you look at the cover of each issue, I think you are painting it before then.

So you can get a repulsor for £24, not too bad.

Sorry, long time lurker.
Has anyone received their delivery of 71-74?
My account says that the money went out Jan 31st and up until now, the delivery has always been the next week.
I just want to check if anyone else has received theirs before I attempt to contact them again.

I am just a little concerned that since I last contacted them back in early January over a missing book from a delivery, nothing has happened. Even my Mortal Realms sub is just sitting inactive whilst others are saying their copies are arriving.

Conquest has been delayed by over a month due to the warehouse move. The next delivery should arrive in the next couple of weeks.

The new customer service company hasn't responded to my e-mail about damaged 2000ad books (hardcover books that the new warehouse is shipping in thin plastic sheet rather than boxes so arrived in a complete state) and upgrading my Mortal Realms to premoium (bopth e-mails sent 2 weeks ago). Disappointing as I always had a reply from the old customer service company in a couple of hours. I did receive first two Mortal Realm issues last week.

My Account Manager page shows the same but the money did not actually leave my account until 11 Feb. I'm not home until the weekend so I don't know if the delivery has taken place yet.

My delivery, as expected, is also way overdue.

I will be honest, I did not think to check my bank to see if the money had yet been taken. I always just assume when a company says we have you money, thank-you, they actually have it. As such, they would have sent the parcel by now. Very possibly I am wrong this time.
Thank-you for the idea to go check.

Also, just personal anecdote but, maybe Hachette are having more problems then they might want to let on, with all this moving. I saw the other day that BigMek Danskull was not going to get issue 5 of Mortal Realms today, yet my local cornershop had like 8 this morning for all of us who are picking up our extras locally, and I was not even the first in this morning (6:40ish). So possibly it is all a little hit and miss right now.

I got my (delayed) Transformers Complete G1 books this week so they're at least beginning to ship some stuff.

Granted one of them was destroyed and the packaging was terrible but they came...

Have they moved from a box to plastic wrap? It’s the same with the 2000ad books, both of mine were destroyed. Sent them an email two weeks ago and no reply yet.

They were still card, but extremely thin and envelopes rather than shaped correctly so they provided no protection at all. TBF I think the damage was present before shipping and it was mostly a production error but it was concerning.

No reply either.

The latest delivery arrived today.

Nice presentation of the Silver Templars add on.

They're overdue billing me for my next two 2000AD volumes.

Last batch are on my account as 3 Jan 2020, and they normally come out at 28 day intervals, so being 17 Feb 2020 at the time of writing, I'd expect to have seen something by now.

Got mine today upto issue 74 ,one thing I noticed for the silver templar add on theres no silver paint

 dekinrie wrote:

If you read the guide, it tells you on page 12 that the silver, in this case Leadbelcher, comes from the main Conquest collection. The paints supplied with the guide are extras that havent been provided before.

I agree its odd though, a full set of paints needed would be far more useful.

Paints seem very odd tbh. Lots of neon. Rainbow warriors maybe.

Thing to bear in mind is that these are meant to be used in conjunction with the paints we already have from collecting Conquest, so its mostly highlight colours and spot details (basing this on images as I don't have my copy yet) like the two greens are for lenses. Anyone notice there's two extra paints to what was advertised, and its not Medium in the big pot?

Correct. The Moot Green is for highlighting. The sample squad on the guide have been constructed with the Stalker rifle so there are nice big scopes. I'll try and list the paints later.

I find it amusing that they give a whole pot of pink....for purity seals.

My next wave of Ventrillian Nobles however, appreciate that I don't have to get off my backside and go to the shop just to have enough paint for their jackets.

I normally use a deep red/ crimson for purity seals but have dipped in with this. Other earthy colours for cultists are useful as well so no complaints here.

I've also kept some of the other models such as the Ancient, Apothecary, Captain and five easy build Intercessors back from the Conquest collection so have the beginnings of a new detachment.


The paint guide also includes background for the Lieutenant, a data card for him and the Intercessor squad and an additional scenario to be played using Conquest models.


I wonder if Mortal Realms with have these opt in/ opt out extras.

For those who are behind the UK subs (Europe, Australia and so on), the optional extras have been:

1. Ultramarine/ Death Guard art book. Mainly Codex and Dark Imperium art collected together.
2. Silver Templars background book.
3. The Silver Templars paint set.
4. An upcoming Silver Templars novella.

These are not to be confused with the Premium edition extras. I have no knowledge of those other than the first set being datacards and a more durable playmat. Not a patch on the Mortal Realms premiums which give more models from other factions.

What are the paints in the set?

Mournfang Brown, Balthasar Gold, Screamer Pink, Pink Horror, Balor Brown, Averland Sunset, Screaming Skull, Fire Dragon Bright, Administratum Grey, Moot Green, Caliban Green and Stirland Mud (i think).
Also a bottle of Technical Stormshield.

Does anyone have a photograph of the transfer sheet? It will be interesting to see what it looks like.

Another email from them -

*Delays to your deliveries*
Dear subscriber,

We are writing to apologise that you have not received a dispatch in a while. During January we updated our systems in line with the move to our new warehouse, and unfortunately some subscriptions to Warhammer 40,000: Conquest were delayed further than we initially anticipated.

If your monthly dispatch was processed around the 2nd February and payment was taken around the 12th February, and you have not yet received your issues, please be advised they should be with you around the end of next week. Please be assured we are doing everything we can to get these issues to you as quickly as possible and that this delay should not impact your future deliveries.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused and would like to thank you for your understanding and patience.

Kindest regards,
The Publisher

Received the same one. Not sure what my situation is as my issues were marked as processed on 31st January and payment taken on the same day.

Still no reply to my customer service requests sent two weeks ago. Really not impressed with the new distribution and customer service company as so far since the switch I have either received nothing or very damaged items due to awful packaging, plus no reply to upgrading Mortak Realms subscription or replacing the damaged issues whereas the old customer service company always replied within 48 hours.

Those were my billing details. My delivery arrived this Monday. Might be worth chasing if not arrived by Friday.

Can anyone confirm whether the Death Guard stratagems in the magazine are only for the narrative missions against the Silver Templars, or are they just new stratagems?

Didn’t see it posted here or announced in WarCom but Conquest has arrived in Portugal. No premium subscription though, anyway they still have some offers for being a subscriber like the clippers and painting handle. Also said that individual issues can be ordered by the stores that sell them.

Neat, thanks. I just wish their insignia wasn't so bland.

It feels like the chapter symbol is upside down.

Yeah that looks pretty dull, like 10 yrs out of date or something, the transfer sheets I've seen from them in the last few years generally look much better.

I just got a reply to an email to hachette regarding mortal realms after 19 days waiting. It was to cancel as I'd been unable to add any payment details after using their site and speaking to someone who told me the details were on my account. I'm still going to get it but through my local newsagent.

It’s been 21 days for me now.

I messaged a different customer service department via Facebook and they have updated me (I need to call next week to give payment details again though). What they couldn’t do was cancel my original email request which may still be actioned at some point (likely cancel my existing premium and setup a new premium so I have to call a third time..).

The warehouse/customer service change has been a bit of a pain. My direct debit for Conquest has been taken but I haven't received anything in quite some time now and my direct debit for the next Mortal Realms delivery hasn't even been taken yet. Had the aforementioned email from them but I still have no idea when stuff is due to turn up.

I'm not sure when I got my last delivery from them, must be at least 6 weeks. It's becoming a bit of a shambles. If I thought I'd easily be able to cancel I probably would do so.

Funny enough, I wonder if they picked it to be relatively easy to freehand? Silver Templars seemingly being intended as a kind of Primaris intro and all.

Thats actually not a bad thought, transfers are probably an after thought rather than planned from the beginning.

Does anyone know what the sprue contents for the final two issues are? It says Magnavent walkways, but that's three sprues spread over two issues right?

https://forbiddenplanet.com/catalog/?q=warhammer%20conquest&sort=release-date&page=1

(anyone that bought the whole series has enough to make the Galvanic Magnavent, which is four sprues, but so far they've only had one sprue, the Alchomite pipes).

Edit: On closer inspection, both covers show the full thing

Mine turned up just a couple of hours ago, so I would not panic too much just yet.

I paid for mine in January but not received it yet. I sent a query via Facebook (they no longer respond to emails at all) and had a reply within 24 hours. Unfortunately due to the new distribution centre they cannot actually tell what has and hasn’t been posted so can’t confirm if it has gone missing in the post. I need to go back to them if I receive the next set issues before these ones which isn’t very helpful.

Yep, mine came today. Gotta say I am really impressed with it as a package though, the biggest surprise is the guide to painting though, its got a hard card folding stand so it can be stood up landscape as you paint along with it

That type of paint guide used to be a mainstream GW product years ago.

I think painting guides in WD at one stage were printed landscape style so you could stick them into the binder.

Arrived Friday here, the guide is surprisingly good, really wish they had gone for this chapter and not smurfs as the lead for the series really.

most of the colours will be pretty useful too

Here you go

What is disappointing is not the chapter symbol. That is ok if inverted, the problem is that ratio of symbols. You get enough for 65 marines and no more, and a tiny handful of vehicles. As you cant get duplicate copies this can be a problem. People interested in this chapter should talk to Hachette to try and get more transfer sheets or grab them off other players, because once gone they are not going to be back and the window to make a Silver Templar army properly closes for good.

They tried to deliver mine on Thursday, and I picked it up from the Post Office yesterday.

Shame the next package is going to be "All Repulsive, All The Time", but I knew it was coming at some point.

The opt in/ out art book and Silver Templars background book that were initially only available to subscribers ended up on the Hachette website.

Slight chance that the paint guide and transfers could do the same?

I mean, depending on who owns the Silver Templars IP - and I think that'll be GW - there's no reason they couldn't make the transfer sheet available through their webstore.

Maybe contact Customer Services and let them know there may be a demand for the product?

Anyone got issues 78 yet? What coming after 78?
I am on 74 and can’t wait for 75-78.

79 & 80 is the Magnavent walkways.

79 and 80 are the walkways from the Galvanic Magnavent.

Issue 79 has the platforms, but none of the legs for them.

Yeah I checked in the shop, one sprue of platforms. So possibly (presumably) two sprues in the final issue.

The instructions in the magazine show the full thing so it must be.

Anyone else used the transfers and painted up the Silver Templars? I gave it a swing:

No transfers yet and only on the base colours but, getting there.

Does anyone know if the magazine is just ending after 80, being essentially replaced with Mortal Realms?

Or might we see another 40K magazine at sme point?

There’a nothing in the pipeline publicly about any further 40k publications. That is of course not to say there won’t be more, it seems like this was pretty successful, at least for Hachette. I guess GW will have to do some analysis and see if the new players are worth it over the cannibalised sales.

I've had no letters hinting at such and Forbidden Planet have none on their website past 80.


It's not impossible that there could be another run. Hachette ran two releases for their Marvel Graphic Novel line.

Personally my wishlist would be for a second run in the future containing the easy builds and sprues from whatever Dark Imperium gets replaced with.

What you would have to factor in are there anymore easy build stuff that could cover two army's , remember a good chunk of the early issues were dark imperium rereleases

Yeah I don’t see there being another one any time soon.

Maybe we’ll see a LotR one, but with its prices now, and again lack of any ETB, I’m not so sure on that either.

We shall see in about 10-12 months time as Mortal Realms gets to the point it’s winding down (about where it got announced in Conquests timeline).

The final issue does have two terrain sprues. It's the support columns and the octagonal platforms. Very good value at £4 per frame, but unfortunately they've not got them available at FP online, slightly annoying as I probably would have picked up a few spares at some point if they had.

They just extended the Transformers one by twenty volumes, I'm actually quite surprised they aren't doing the same here, but it appears not.

I feels like some Plaguebearers or the Death Guard Space Marine Heroes would have worked, and the loyalists could have had the easyish build Vanguard models.

I was expecting a small extension to cover a few allied units and new terrain. Not that fussed that it hasn’t come about though.

I expect Mortal Realms will be easier to extend due to having more easy to build units available for other factions.

I have seen that other companies are starting to pay attention to this distribution model with a Star Wars legions magazine being trialed in some parts of Europe (issue 1 is Vader and 3 rebels for 1.5 euro.

Yeah, but we don't get the chunky machinery part. So it's not actually the full kit like everyone was hoping.

If we get something else it could be Warcry or Kill Team focused. Give people a bunch of smaller forces over the course of the subscription rather than two big ones.

It could also be a viable distribution model for Underworlds? Every warband is two ETB sprues plus cards and sells for about £16. Easy to split over two issues. Only issue is you'd need a lot more different paints- but that could be viable as the minis themselves wouldn't be at much of a discount. Average month could be sprue one, sprue two, three paints, cards. With the occasional extra board, dice, tokens, terrain pieces etc.

I'm fairly certain that anyone that bought all issues got the whole thing, as far as I remember the one in Knight Renegade was 4 sprues, which is what the full sub provides.

That would be £32 for a warband plus 3 paints, which is paying quite steeply over the odds compared to just buying them from GW.

That would be brilliant! Killteam focus can get all factions and lots of territory for cityscape.

Depends how much every issue is.

Is there anywhere I can find a full list of the paints that come throughout the subscription? I'm currently about half way through.

Just trying to figure out what paints I should buy and what ones I can hold off on.

I don't have a list to hand but search for Warhammer Conquest on the Forbidden Planet website, select the Out Of Stock option on the side menu and they may still have all the issue covers listed. The majority of paints were named on the covers.

Concentrate on the artwork covers but some don't state on the cover what paints were received.

The five most recent from 64 onward are:

Astrogranite (second pot)
White Scar
Cadian Fleshtone
Nurgle's Rot
Nihilakh Oxide.


Actually, it's raining and I'm bored so additional to the ones above:

31. Celestra Grey
36: Recess Shading, no colour listed.
37: Plasma effects so I'm assuming that was Thousand Sons Blue and Temple Guard Blue
40. Layer Paints ( Calgar Blue?)

Over to others but I'm sure these were part of the collection:

Necron Compound.
Stormhost Silver
Wild Rider Red
Nurgling Green
Ogryn Camo
Corax White?
Reikland Fleshshade

My next delivery comes with #49 which has Ogryn Camo, Dawnstone and Calgar blue. Dunno about Nurgling Green though.

When competed all of Conquest magazine is like...

So far I'm at:




and




Now, I have purchased multiple copies of some issues and there are extras such as Space Marine Heroes Series 3 and the Plague Daemons. Additionally, I have to gather together the Primaris painted up as UMs and I haven't even touched the terrain yet but, two armies for a significant savings on even discounted retail has left me a happy camper.

Whoa. Is that started with Conquest or you already collect plague before Conquest?

I was think about buying blight terminator and Morty.

The majority is through my Conquest sub and buying extra issues from Forbidden Planet.

The Plague Daemons are from the Start Collecting box.

Is there anywhere I can find a full list of the paints that come throughout the subscription? I'm currently about half way through.

Just trying to figure out what paints I should buy and what ones I can hold off on.

this is what I've got written down for the last half of the run (it may have had minor changes in what came in what issue but is probably about right for the colours)

40. paint: , cadian fleshtone & mephiston red
44. paint: thousand sons blue & necron compund
49. paint: black, ustabti bone & calgar blue
52. paint: astrogranite

Yeah, but we don't get the chunky machinery part. So it's not actually the full kit like everyone was hoping.

I'm fairly certain that anyone that bought all issues got the whole thing, as far as I remember the one in Knight Renegade was 4 sprues, which is what the full sub provides.

Errr....I've got issue 79 unopened in front of me. It has one sprue in it. Everyone says 80 will have two sprues. The full kit is four sprues.

Not to mention all the stock photos of issue 79 and 80 conveniently show a photo of the kit assembled without the chunky boiler style sprue. So it looks like it isn't included.

I'll be very happy to be wrong (I bought 8), but we shall see.

I've had both 79 & 80 and you don't get the boiler sprue in either,



this one was in WH: Conquest but came a long time back (issue 55?) as it's sitting part build on my table at the moment,

Hmm see that's interesting.
My #36 came with Steel Legion Drab, Macragge Blue and Anthonian Camoshade.
#40 had Liberator Gold, Wildrider Red and Stormhost silver
#44 had a Leadbelcher refill and Necron Compound
and it says #49 will come with Ogryn camo, Dawnstone and Calgar Blue.

Are Hatchette known for making regional changes to their partworks?

they certainly changed some paints around compared to the first complete lists published so it wouldn't surprise me if they vary things a bit regionally (perhaps based on what GW can supply in sufficient quantities)

it's also possible my list at least is base on the earlier incorrect one (although I thought i'd changed it to fit with what actually arrived)

but overall you should end up with the same paints otherwise the painting guides wouldn't work properly

Oh true. I didn't even give that any consideration.

As regards the boiler sprue, if you look back at the whole collection photo, there is only one boiler present.

In this case, the boiler was delivered earlier in then partworks collection.

As far as I am aware, the cover of issues 79 and 80 has always specified magnavent walkways and never featured the boiler/ alchomite pipes.

My list also may be based on the old list.
But again, I have got big crossed off parts earlier on where it was all incorrect or changed..

My delivery of 75 - 78 arrived today, along with Blade Oath.

Blade Oath is a funny format, it's bigger than a typical black library hardback, but not quite a codex. Like maybe 2/3rds Codex size? It's a weird book to read on the tube.

The additional height makes it quite short in page length, one hundred and thirty pages or so, and there are a few colour pages in the middle.

It is the same format as the Warhammer 40k Legends books, also by Hachette.

To save me going through pages and pages looking for my answer, can anyone tell me which issues Premium set #3 comes with? thanks

Mine came with 47-50

Thanks, a couple of months away for me then as i only just got my #39-42 parcel last week, which also had the codex book with it

My Silver Templar box arrived today with issues 71-74. Going to now check the thread so I can compare contents. I feel something is missing.

Should be a Lieutenant and five multi part Intercessors along with a transfer sheet and 13 paints.

What Lt. do you get with it?

I believe it is this one.

That's the badger.

Hachette have put the art book and silver templars book along with a few other odd issues I've not seen for a while, probably clearing out their leftovers

so if you want any of them get them now

Echoing what others have said, quite impressed with the preventation of the Silver Templars box.
