Yeah, they now are, but back when the magazine was released you could still buy them. There was no point in buying them because the second issue was just 6€ while the later issues with the very same plague marines in them were more expensive.

Dark Sphere has them in (all issues 1-80) with a slightly larger discount than forbidden planet.
but with much higher postage costs which makes each issue cost more than it would retail for in a local newsagent.

Decided to cancel my subscription to this. Whilst I may paint the necrons, they were never the real reason to purchase, and I've built up my marines quite quickly to the point it would just be giving me duplications of what I already have now, and they aren't the sort of models I'd like to paint more of either.
Think I'm going to just pick up random issues here and there instead, such as the aggressors etc.

My recommendation would be to bulk order the random issues you want as they are listed on Forbidden Planet.
I did that throughout my sub to Conquest and was never disappointed.
The Hachette website could be a but hit and miss with attempting to order. Often issues would show as sold out the moment they were listed.
I never tried to order Conquest issues from Dark Sphere so cannot comment on them as an option.

Is this usual for this kind of sub?
I'd have thought subscribers would get them the same time or earlier than the shops?
With the Conquest run, I usually got each package of four issues at about the same time the latest issue in each package went on sale. I imagine this will be the same.

Also, if you’re gonna cancel.
Do it after your first delivery, foolish to cancel before.
£2.99 for issue 1, issue 2 free, worth having.

A quick update for those who may have wanted the Primaris Captain.
Forbidden Planet no longer have issue 5 listed.
Dark Sphere may be the only option available for the present.
That said, the Lt Calsius issue did become available on several occasions during the Conquest run.

Post by: Overread
Most likely. As noted with the past magazines, popular issues were reprinted and it might also be that some stock gets shifted around or held back etc.... So there's every chances that they will come back into stock at a latter stage.
Also for the unique character GW knows its going to be a hot target for resellers

I’m really unsure if I’m carrying this on at all..
Lost the excitement for sure (and my Necrons being full almost, and old style models, and having Indomitus already once, and not having really done much model wise lately anyway, and having too much stuff. On and on..).
However, I’ll probably get the second delivery, even if I end up not wanting it, as they take ages to cancel, so maybe I’ll stick the exclusive up for anyone who missed out. I don’t even remember what he looks like, so unless he’s so good it draws me back in to painting Primaris..

Got the first issue in WHSmith this morning, but when i went in both the local GW and Tesco, it seemed like the magazine wasn't quite the same? WHsmith had the backing as a full A3 piece of card with the magazine and miniatures stuck on it separately, while GW and Tesco had a version with A4 backing where the magazine and miniatures were packed together instead. Seemed a bit strange.

That has happened for Mortal Realms as well. Smiths tend to get the larger versions but other stores get the smaller.

Yeah, I think they offer two versions of the cardback for retailers depending on their shelfspace. Smiths generally have a bit more room for a huge eye catching piece of cardboard, whereas supermarkets have smaller rather fixed layouts.

Picked up a copy for a look, was tempted to subscribe as I have been collecting Necrons recently, but think I'd end up with lots of un-needed duplicates for the Necrons (and quite a few duplicate Imperial models as well).
IIRC my local Tesco seemed to get copies of Mortal Realms in through quite a lot of the run, so hoping this is the same to make it easy to pick up occasional issues.

I guess as it’s characters this time.
Maybe those two go for a lot. But I can’t imagine more than a couple of quid, as Indomitus was everywhere.

Not just Indomitus, they are in the Recruit edition for £32.50 rrp, and you get 10 Necron Warriors, 3 Scarabs and 5 Assault Intercessors bundled in with that lot. So hopefully that stops any wholesale scalping of the issue.

I don't think there's any discernible difference between the lieutenant and a bladeguard vet, even the helmet stripe is just painted on. Strictly speaking you'd only need to swap his neo-Volkite pistol for a heavy bolt pistol as the power sword is on his hip. In reality you might want to shave off the power sword and give him a sword in his hand so he reads as bladeguard better on the TT.

Its really just the Iron Halo thats different, the LT's is slightly larger than the Bladeguard ones, otherwise they are virtually identical.

Bladeguard Vet Sergeant can swap out his heavy BP for a neo-volkite or plasma pistol, so you’re all good if you’re using the Lt. as a BGV Sgt. Looking at the sprue for the Lt, the sheathed sword on his hip comes as a separate piece, so, for a standard BGV trooper, it should be easy enough to clip off the sword hilt to make an empty sheath, and swap the NV pistol for a relic blade or whatever power sword you have handy. Great idea, btw, I’m picking up three of these to add to my indomitus BG Vets. Now I’m thinking how to convert the spare Royal Wardens into some of the Necron named characters who are still in finecast…

Thank you all for that.
I am happy with that, as it means my Indomitus Bladeguard (and Indomitus LT I guess) plus a box of regular Bladeguard combined with a couple of these Loss Leader LTs should get me 9-10 Bladeguard depending on the amount of arm options in the box.

Predictably, #5 seems to be scarce.
I'm in Dublin, so for anyone else - Easons next to Trinity are sold out, Eason on O Connell claimed theirs was delayed (they're the head branch so that's not really possible if the other one got it). Some of the street vendors told me they were simply left short in their regular deliveries, so they don't really expect to get it.
Any suggestions for any other brick and mortar newsagents that would stock it in Dublin?

There's a Costcutter in Smithfield Street, Lisburn called Sweeney's that gets it every Wednesday. It's a pity all the Easons in N. Ireland closed, such a great place to buy magazines.

He has a helmet on his belt, so it would be weird if he was also wearing a helmet. I ended up using the bare head from the Bladeguard captain from Indomitus, because I preferred the hardened veteran look to the more "angelic" look of the stock head. I had a look at the "champion" head from that model and it would seem to work quite well too, but I couldn't be bother to remove and resculpt the helmet on the belt.

The most annoying part is that whenever some Primaris character has a helmet that could actually look a bit diffrent or unique, they mold the bloody thing to his belt or hand in such a way that he can't actually hold it. They did that with Kavaan Shrike and his Beakie, or Lazarus and his winged helmet.

For me that's actually worse because it means if you want to stick a helmeted head on them you have to cut off the other one and remodel below it

Interestingly they also report that the destroyer has been removed from the listing. That "might" mean many things, but as one of the older legacy models in plastic it could mean that GW are semi-close to updating it and are thus winding down production and focus on it in a bit to release a new version. Of course that could be a year or more away

Yeah, the Destroyer was removed from the online version of the contents. Doesn’t seem to be anything extra added to make up for the reduced content unless it’s another paint issue.

Well, I’ve ordered ahead (or “blind”) from FP for the Mortal Realms stuff I was interested in, and all the Imperium stuff so far, as soon as it was announced on fauxhammer, and it’s never let me down yet. Bear in mind, when you pre-order from FP with a credit card, they don’t charge your card until the order is picked, and you are free to cancel, without cost, until that happens. So, you can pre-order now on FP (I just ordered 4 copies of #15 for a full 20-model squad of Flayed Ones), but you won’t be charged until the issue is picked for posting. Plenty of time for confirmation by Hachette/ FP until release date (08.12.21 for #15), and if the preview on fauxhammer turns out to be wrong, that’s your window to cancel. Just FYI, but for me, it’s a no-brainer for the units you’re interested in.

It's down to you but that is the intention.
I find it easier to wait until the end as you will get 4 binders worth of magazines and you will end up having to move parts across several times. Instead, I just add the in tact magazine to the binder for the time being.

Well as its pre-orders I assume the initial 1500 has just been added too rather than sold and removed; since its all a pre-order number. So just a straight 3500. That said its no shock; its basically £8 for a £32 kit of 5 models which come in units of 5-20 and are basically infantry for close combat so taking bigger units is highly advantageous.

21 & 22 - 10 Skitari between them. I guess its a saving of a couple of quid getting them for £18 (vs a 20% discount seller), but if you're an existing ad mech player you've probably got enough, and if you're a new one you're probably better putting the money towards the combat patrol.

Anyone here having trouble with paying for their subscription? Particularly in Ireland?
I’m having consistent problems with paying - tried three different credit cards, three different browsers, and two different devices - it keeps telling me there’s an issue with my card number.
Rang them up after it happened the first time and they told me that Irish cards aren’t working for transactions over a certain amount so managed to pay over the phone by breaking it into two smaller transactions. Then that didn’t work last month, only one would go through and my bank can’t find a problem on the card. Signed up for Revolut and paid off the remainder and now Revolut isn’t working this month.
Been met with a shrug from their customer service, they have a PayPal logo on the site but apparently that can only be used on new subscriptions? Makes no sense to me. I can’t see how it could be a problem on my end anymore but not seeing how I really sustain this now.

I've had the message.
Unlike some, I've never had an issue with Hachette Customer Service and my Conquest sub went without a hitch.
I am slightly vexed and miffed with this though. As a subscriber who has made a commitment for the whole collection, the idea of having to accept delays when single issues are available from other stockists is annoying.
Then again, I'm part of the problem as I double dip choice issues from Forbidden Planet.
I still think subscribers should be first in the queue.

This is likely part of the big Brexit problem, along with other global electric and gas price issues. The shipping stuff is already affecting their new releases and pushed back the Dragons for AoS and codexes.
One other thing to note is that it'll cost a lot more to be printing the magazine along with getting the plastics prepared. The industry I work in is gonna have to start charging much more for our services because the price of plastics is skyrocketing, which sucks. Due to the price of electricity. Hoping that doesn't translate to the magazine or further GW stuff.

Yeah Hachette's customer service is poor and slow, but not actively hostile. They often need chasing, they get things wrong, their systems are all kind of broken (I've been chased for payment of an order that they didn't even send out yet due to delays).
But they're not doing it to con people, it's not a "oh no, you can't cancel now, so you have to give us another month's money" - you can always send stuff back to a freepost address for a full refund. Although you might be waiting months for it.
Their systems are bad, but not in than purposely-built-as-annoying-to-get-more-money way.

They are worth it if you want them.
Which is really what a lot of this comes down too. Eg I didn't subscribe to Imperium because the Imperial stuff isn't what I want and the Sisters of Battle/Ad Mech which would interest me the most is only a token offering compared to the Marine Core. Meanwhile on the Necron front there's stuff I really want (eg flayed ones) and stuff I really don't need more of at this time (eg warriors). So it was better for me to snipe the issues I wanted from stores like Forbidden Planet and Dark Sphere.
However if you want it all or you can easily sell/trade off what you don't then by all means 100% go for it. Every issue and premium content is with a saving over retail. So if you want it all or envision wanting it all its great. If you don't want it and can't see yourself easily passing it on (trading/selling) then I'd not go for it

They refused to give me my money back until I put them on 24 hours notice that I was finished playing around and heading to small claims court and was going to actively bill them for every hour wasted chasing them.
And even then, they dispatched a cheque, just to take the piss. Their customer service is a joke.

They refused to give me my money back until I put them on 24 hours notice that I was finished playing around and heading to small claims court and was going to actively bill them for every hour wasted chasing them.
And even then, they dispatched a cheque, just to take the piss. Their customer service is a joke.
I had a similar, but nowhere near as bad experience with them. Ordered stuff from their website, didn't arrive, when I got in touch with them I was told that it wasn't available and that they would be refunding me by cheque. Why can't they refund me back onto my card? Why did I have to get in touch with them in the first place?
I will never, ever deal with them directly again.

You both got your money back though. That's my point, it's very poor customer service, it takes ages, you get stuff like refunds via cheque - but you will eventually either get your stuff or get your money back. They're not trying to scam you, they're just gak.

Would they have refunded me if I hadn't had contacted them after x weeks of no items? Would they have refunded Ketara if they hadn't threatened to escalate the issue? We have no way of knowing, but it's clear that it's not a good look.
Issueing refunds in the form of a cheque in 2021 is basically saying "here's an irritating hoop to jump through to get your refund, we hope you forget to do it or can't be bothered" IMHO.
Agreed they are not outright scammers, but really, that's a very, very low bar to judge them.

My point about Hachette giving me everything I paid them for was that there's no strong reason to suspect they'll renege on any orders they take for this product in the EU, in response to this comment
Don't know if they'll carry the entire range, or if this pre-order will even be fulfilled, but might be our only way, as far as I know, to get the mag and minis in Benelux.

Can't say I've had great experiences with the few occasions I've had to contact their customer service either. From slow and unhelpful, to my items not arriving and telling me they never existed in the first place despite placing the order. Not to mention the few times I've had packages turn up at old addresses only for them to tell me "that's your problem".
My delivery arrived today, reckon I'll be unsubbing soon based on the reveals of skitarii broken into multiple issues.

Dark sphere didn't receive the number they expected, so have cancelled some flayed one orders too.
Imperium Magazine Issue 15 : The UK distributor informed us this afternoon that they will not be receiving the number of copies they were expecting for this issue therefore (despite the fact that they had confirmed multiple times the volume we will be receiving) we will only in fact be receiving about a fifth of the expected number.
Unfortunately this means that we will not be able to fulfil your preorder and this item will have to be refunded.

Eh they get nothing out of taking orders they can't fullfill and then having to do refunds; that basically costs them money for no gain. It is more likely that distributors are messing with them though where the buck stops is hard to say - the distributor could equally be being messed with by the supplier. As a customer its really hard to know where the buck stops and hwo made the mistake(s)

Shouldn't lose them money as long as they held onto it for more than a month, they'd get a little bit of interest - but I can easily see that Hatchette has messed them around a bit. I don't think there has been a unit sprue as wildly good value before in Conquest.
Do these issues ever come back into stock, or is it just the unsold magazines that return to their online store?

Card transactions cost money, so taking your money the card processing company gets a cut, then refunding your money they get another cut. Refunding card purchases sucks for companies

WH Smiths (although some will have dropped it by now) my local carries it but usually only has 2 or 3 on the shelves
Forbidden planet (if you've got one nearby) will have it in too (they usually have more in than preorders but if hachette is cutting the number supplied that may not be the case for the flayed one issue)

Post by: Overread
We also don't know why the supplier cut Dark Sphere - it might be that somewhere along the line X amount was ordered and it was never produced or its been delayed and only a partial order has gone through. Or it sold out and the distributor/their supplier re-arranged order volumes for higher priority customers.
As for reprinting I've heard its happened before, however that was in part on issues with limited edition models. Flayed ones, whilst at an amazing discount, are a common sold model that you can buy right now. So there's every chance it might not get a reprint. Or it might get little reprints now and then not a bulk order.

I didn't have the email from Darksphere, but after checking my outstanding orders on the Darksphere site it shows the same message. I guess they just haven't got round to emailing me yet?
I wonder if GW realised that the second hand market would be flooded with low priced Flayed ones so decided to reduce the numbers of copies available to non-subscribers?
I bought a couple of copies from Forbidden Planet before I placed my Darksphere orders so fingers crossed that they arrive, I'll be pretty disappointed if I miss out completely.
77922
Post by: Overread
GW will have decided how many were going to be made total months ago - along with Hatchetworks. That way they could produce, import and produce all ready for the release.
It's more likely that either importing delays have cut the total number in the short/long term or that stock is being moved around last moment. Heck it might be someone at the Distributor put the wrong number in a slot; let Dark Sphere over-order and now is getting raked over the coals for making a mistake that didn't get picked up on until they were putting boxes into the post (which considering the issue comes out on the 10th is likely just what's happening with stock for the magazine right now) Automatically Appended Next Post: Some talk in the facebook groups suggest that Forbidden Planet and other stores are having issues too. So this looks like a supply issue directly from Hachettworks/ GW is the root cause. So it sounds like they wanted to ship that many, then couldn't and then didn't tell stores until the last moment (which based on the customer feedback noted earlier seems on-par for Hachettworks )
The sliver lining might mean that those issues will come at a future date or it might be production couldn't get them done and they are dropped or they'll drip feed out into the market (ergo you might get a few here and there).

Hmmm, I had two orders (ordered 3 issues, then another 4 when they bumped their stock numbers).

Post by: Overread
It might be that right now they aren't even sure how they are getting orders out the door for what they do have. They might not even know the full number or they want to wait and count and see exactly what they do get rather than fully commit and then find out that the numbers were wrong a second time.

Post by: deano2099
They were never going to print 1000s of extra copies of a certain issue just because GW fans wanted cheap Flayed Ones. Doesn't help Hachette as their business is getting people to subscribe to the partwork. Doesn't help GW as it devalues their product. Sure, they'll adjust the total numbers of copies they print up and down a bit for the more popular issues so if people want to pick up the odd extra copy to bulk out a force they can.
We've got some good deals through that in the past, but the minute someone starts trying to do it on scale (like a games shop ordering 5000 copies) it's just not going to happen. I imagine there were no limits on order numbers from Hachette or the Distributor, but that's because they're used to newsagents ordering fewer than ten copies. They never dreamed anyone would order 5000 because that's completely unprecedented.

Sometimes when people get a small amount of models for a faction, they tend to then buy more for that faction. Like when a relative accidentally buys you Orks instead of Space Marines and you start an Ork army off the back of it. The idea is to hook people in, it's why there are the Premium sets that give you like 4 other armies on top of the 4 from the regular run. If you have Space Marines, SoB, Admech, Necrons, CSM, T'au, Orks and Tyranids, then that might get some of your friends into playing 40k as well. That's roughly how I did it, got Black Reach + some extra Marines and loaned out the Orks + extras to friends to try out the game before they bought their own armies.

Yes, "accidental" model purchases often lead to the starting of new armies.
I mean, I bought a big pile of second hand Orks on eBay back in 6th edition, and in there was also a Start Collecting Necrons box and now I also have a big Necron army...

Oh yeah it's atrocious. I've heard many horror stories, people having to wait literally a year to get a missed delivery actually sent through. They're terrible. Look at the Facebook groups you'll see 100s of complaints. But one thing I find notable is I've not seen a single case of someone saying "I never did get my stuff or my money back" - other companies will do that. Literally gamble that you won't take them to court or hide behind T& Cs if you do. Hachette don't. They're gak but if you pester them enough or wait long enough, you'll get your stuff. Or worst case a cheque for your money back. It's not good, but it makes me comfortable with dealing with them because I know they might take effort, but they'll never do a runner with my cash.
(And their screw-ups often work as much for customer benefit as detriment - in Conquest I had a magazine with a mis-printed page, sent a photo and asked for a replacement and they sent me an entire new pack, complete with mini. And for Mortal Realms, lots of us just got a extra delivery of 4 additional magazines and minis for no reason whatsoever. And Hachette were never "oh, you need to send us those back or pay for them" or anything. Just "oops, here's the magazines we should have sent, keep the others")

My take on it, as it was for Conquest, is that Imperium is not Warhammer 40000.
Imperium is a self contained product that would allow a subscriber to own a gaming system that will never go out of date or be replaced by a new Edition.
Yes it uses core 40K rules and Conquest started bringing in points so the models could be used in 40K but with the scenarios provided in the magazine, a subscriber may never have every model on the table at the same time.
That's why the sides don't have to be 'equal' in a Warhammer 40000 game way.
For experienced players, individual issues are useful for cheap units to add to existing armies but they are not necessarily the main target base.

I assumed that as they had something like 3K on show for being ordered, that they were likely going through a massive backlog of orders to issue refunds as chances are, being a game store, they likely are not setup for big back-end refund provision. So a few days after the issue went out is when I'm planning on contacting them if they've not processed a refund. I think I used Paypals pay in three option so its not a massive hit all in one.

I requested mine. However that was because I was raising a support ticket to confirm the position of two orders. Both included copies of the issue along with other items and the initial email only mentioned the magazine issues for one of the orders. They processed my request for a refund the same day as I raised the ticket and posted the other bits out, so I can't imagine you'll have any problems if you raise a ticket on their site.

In my experience, if they take the money then you're normally sorted. They only really take the money when they've processed your order prior to sending. Automatically Appended Next Post: Literally just been notified that I've been charged as well. Nice one. Hopefully, all goes well, I'm soon to be a proud owner of 20 of the cute little homicidal chaps.

I suspect those made on the first day the preview went live are fine; it was the additional orders made after that date that appear to be in question.

I got the 'we're not going to fulfill your order' email, but had to contact them to get a PayPal refund.
Went to check after reading this and they hadn’t refunded me yet either. I’ve raised a support ticket now. More disappointing service from them.

Sadly not the case for me - got my refund today. I'm not surprised, I suspect they had to see how the dust would settle and how much actual stock they got and process it before they could issue refunds. They likely might not have had a firm understanding how many sets they were getting in the end (and even if they got a number they might have wanted to wait to get stock in hand to confirm - wouldn't be the first time a supply said you'll get X makes a mistake and then says you'll get Y only to then deliver Z amount of product on the day).
You know now Imperium is going to the USA I wonder if their back-end warehouse they used just had 1 value for the global total of issue 15, so the stock earmarked (but not yet marked down) for the USA got added to the inventory for the UK/EU region.

Received my DarkSphere order today, got 3 issues which will take me up to one full unit. Given how hard this one has been to get, I'll call that a win.

Spyders!!
That's one issue I hope stays in stock for a while so I can get some. Both to flesh out the army, but also for some conversions they are a great conversion base model. I've ideas to use them for ghost arks
I love how he keeps saying "don't go buying multiple copies" on almost every single one now after the description of the contents.

As a new Necron player whop hasn’t played a game yet, any recommendations if it’s worth grabbing a copy of two of either the immortals or Spyders?

I love how they're like "Now don't go buying up cheap Dominus'!" as if we're not inundated with tons of the bloody things because GW hands out that model like candy in every Ad Mech bundle/box.

It’s probably going to sell out relatively quickly as it’s such good value. You might as well order from forbidden planet now rather than take a chance later, as they won’t charge you until it ships.

4 issues of the Immortals is a good idea: it builds Immortals or Deathmarks. The Spiders are good as well, probably 2-3 copies.

Yeah I recalled FB's policy to charge on the ship day not the pre-order day and - did cave and got some issues. 6 on order - ideally that gives me 3 to field on their own and 3 to convert with ghost arks

The Omnissiah's Talon has the Manipulus. He's the new candy.
Leaving all the spare Dominus models to be palmed off on Hachette.

That Fauxhammer chap sure seems like a salty fellow...not sure why people are blaming him when obvious issues fail to be made in their tens of thousands though.

Post by: Overread
Maybe he missed his order for Flayed Ones!!
That said its bizzar sometimes the blame people will throw around. It might well be some blame him for reporting on the issue's contents and thus the stock running out or such - so they blame him.
It could also be that he's been trying to get a relationship with Hatchettworks and GW for reporting on these and they might have been annoyed that things went wrong and somehow blamed him (again the news went out early and then the orders went wrong) even though the blame for this lies somewhere in the distribution chain between stores and the manufacturer.

He may well be getting push back about whether he'll keep getting the info in advance so he can publish these articles,
I could see GW (maybe hachette) being annoyed that certain issues are being massivly overordered which would be much harder to do if we only found out about the contents from the previous batch of 4 issues
so it could be he's playing the 'i'm being responsible' card to argue for keeping being given the info well in advance

Post by: Overread
Honestly if anything getting over-ordering info early is better than late. It gives them time to react. The ball drop was allowing stores to way over-order on stock that likely has a fixed finite amount. That issue was going to sell like mad no matter what and GW knew it. Yes if we didn't know till launch day chances are we might have avoided the over-ordering as the stock would already have gone out; but there would still have been the huge backlash. Asides if it wasn't him someone else would leak the info.
This has just shown a weakness in the ordering system for the companies involved to fix and hopefully means that future popular issues will be safe.

He explained why they don't produce more of obvious ones. Go and read article.
It's not intended for certain magazines be produced more. If it was there would be 2 options. Either magazine price goes up whole range or cost of those specific magazines go up so saving is more like 25-30% top.
This isn't meant for veterans to spam cheaply and gw won't produce enough for that without asking from hachette more than it can pay profitably for 9 pound magazine.

Dark Sphere have decided to stop stocking Imperium as of issue 18, so looks like it’s back to just Forbidden Planet in the UK.

Post by: Overread
They probably got burned hard on refund fees, esp when it wasn't their fault and its likely shaken their trust in the magazine firm to not do the same trick again in the future.
FP has a policy of only charging pre-orders when they get the stock in so they like as not didn't suffer as badly because no money had yet changed hands. Which is honestly a really handy pre-order system.

Post by: Undead_Love-Machine
I hope that people don’t blame Darksphere for the stock issue, they were clearly misinformed by their supplier. They must have had a hell of a lot of refunds to sort out, many of which would have been partial refunds and altered orders rather than straight refunds, it would have been a not insignificant task to sort it all out. I’m not surprised they decided to stop stocking it.

Meanwhile, I got a replacement sprue of Warriors through for the one that got doubled up in issues 9 and 10. Unfortunatrly, it was the same one again.
Ah well, at least I technically now have 10 Warriors and 3 Scarab swarms, (well, 12 and six, actually) so ... I'm OK?

Issues 23 (spiders) and 25 (immortals) are already sold out on forbidden planet. Guess it’s a made dash around local shops on release day if I want to grab those units at a bargain price.

Post by: AndrewGPaul
With issues 9 and 10, you would get 10 warriors and 3scarab swarms. Even if Hachette send out the wrong sprue again as a replacement, you’ll get 12 warriors and 4 Scarab swarms, so you’ll come out ahead no matter what happens.

For those awaiting their chance to subscribe and wondering if Premium is worth it, I've received my first Premium set. This one is Chaos Marines.
Now, long time players may find nothing new here but then, Imperium isn't necessarily geared for us. I don't have Chaos Marines and am always happy to have something different to build and paint. J may go for Word Bearers.
url=https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/1128619-.html]  [/url]
The set comes with an Imperium style booklet containing background, building instructions, a paint guide and points values along with a Noctilith Crown cut out for the game scenario.
url=https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/1128622-.html]  [/url]
The delivery also includes a letter detailing the first opt out purchase, an art book similar to the one that came with Conquest.
I'm always happy with an art book and this one should collect Marines, Sisters, Necron and Skitarii examples.

I was considering Tome Keepers for these Marines after doing Silver Templars for Conquest but have decided on Howling Griffons.

Collect Masses of Models as Warhammer 40,000: Imperium Releases Outside the UK - WarCom
Last year, Warhammer 40,000: Imperium launched in the UK, a magazine series crammed with models, paints, tools, and more for the budding hobbyist. The series was such a hit that it couldn’t be kept to just one region, and now it’s ready to launch in Spain, Germany, and the United States.
Imperium is a perfect starting point for newcomers to the hobby, featuring guides and tutorials aimed at getting you acquainted with everything Warhammer has to offer, while building up two seriously impressive armies as you go.
Space Marines lead a charge of the Imperium’s finest*, including Adeptus Mechanicus and Adepta Sororitas forces, against a host of ancient Necrons across 80 feature-stuffed issues.
By the time you’re done you’ll have a massive army to battle it out over some incredible boards and scenery. You’ll also have a fantastic collection of paints and tools, and you’ll have learned all the skills and techniques you need to build and paint even the most advanced Warhammer models.
The first four issues of Warhammer 40,000: Imperium are available in Spain and Germany this week from Hachette and your local Warhammer stores, with the collection launching in the United States from the 26th of January.
The magazine will be stocked in newsagents and specialist stockists, while the first four issues will also be available from Games Workshop stores. You can also ensure you never miss an issue with a subscription,, which you can take out directly with Hachette.
You can even expand your collection further with a premium subscription, adding four additional forces from Chaos Space Marines, Tyranids, T’au Empire, and Orks to experience a wider spectrum of what Warhammer 40,000 has to offer.
Head to your local Warhammer store to pick up the first four issues this month, or get every issue delivered directly to your door by subscribing now.
* Including the Primarch Roboute Guilliman himself, no less.
