OK, when it I read 'Stormbringer Magazine' I was thinking someone was doing a Moorcock deal.

Disappointed now.

Anyone spotting the Exclusive model?

There’s usually one, but I’m finding it well hard to tell what’s what!

I can't see one either the survey references the Xandria Azurebolt (Knights-Incantor) miniature so either that's just a carryover or they might reuse her?

Possibly. But I hope not!

Possibly the Exclusive Model.

Good catch that's not a current Praetor mini

Thanks to a chap in the Loot Group!

Well while interesting seeing none have come here so far doubt this is either

That's definitely not an existing Praetor. I've got six of them in front of me rigth now

Hoping for US release and interested to see the full contents of the Premium upgrades

Premium looks very dubious value, with £10 Yndrasta and Boss on Gnashtooth coming in at about £40 each. Obviously it says there will be extras, but they'd need to be huge

I think those models in Issue 1 did not come in Dominion, did they? That makes that issue a pretty nice pick-up. If this comes to the USA I may actually get it, based on how much of this repeats the Dominion box.

The Killaboss with Stab Grot and Knight Arcanum are from the Dominion/Extremis/Starter box sets. This will be the first time they are available outside those boxes. Both have 2 builds - even if it's just a weapon/head swap. Worth picking up if even just for conversions - use the Killaboss legs with the spare Snatchaboss torso from the Sludgeraker. Or get loads of Stab Grots for Warcry!

I was the same :(

Am I right in saying that you can cancel anytime, so I could sign up for the subscription, get my fee magazine and modelling set, then cancel without actually ever paying anything? Or would I need to at least buy the first set of 4 to get the free stuff?

They're sent out with the first four issues IIRC, so you'd need to pay for those at least.

I'll consider it if it comes to the USA, but with local shop still selling Dominions for $125, It's hard to justify the "Value" of this collection.

I know in the OP is says the Stormdrake will be in 2 magazines, so only £18, but I reckon it'd be 3 actually, with one extra for the bases and flying struts. Still, £27 would be outstanding, I'd be all over that like a fat lad on chips

Yeah, that's what I put it in the survey, that Dominion was so abundant that it's hard for them to justify the price of some of these things given the easily available price of Dominon figues. (I bought 4 lots of the Stormcast half in the past week off ebay for about £100 total, good luck convincing me Yndrasta's sprue is worth £40 on it's own)

Still, some magazines will be great and hopefully not impossible to get hold of. Bastian Carthelos for £9? Yes please, a bunch of Vigilors at £18 for 10? Go on then. 5 Vindictors for £9? No ta.

Sorry that was just my speculation based on the 2 sprues = 2 magazines but I forgot about the bases and Mortal Realms #78 was just 2 bases (if you have spare 105 ovals then it's not an issue anyway)

Yndrasta and the boss are each part of a larger sprue. The Yndrasta one also includes 3 annihilators and the banner bearer. The Kruleboyz one includes 3 boltboys and their banner bearer.

Few people do. The Premium needs be comparable to what WH Imperium offers. A single centerpiece model and three figure bodyguard unit ain't it. Even if a 32 page bonus magazine comes with it.

https://www.warhammer40000imperium.com/
If you look at the WH Imperium Premium subscription, there are Orks, which for discussions' sake we can take as about equal to Kruleboys. Not being familiar with the Orks line, I count it as:
1 larger Character model
11 standard ork-sized model (or ten trooper orks & Unit leader + ork character model)
10 Grots and 1 ork grot herder.

So 23 figures plus three paints.

A Kruleboy premium kit ought to have about the same, or drop the paints and give more models. Are there any Kruleboy character models that are normally exclusive to the starter boxes like the Lord Imperatant and Knight Arcanum are for the SCE? Those would do.

The Tyranids premium has:
1 Broodlord
8 Genestealers
12 Termagants
21 figures, and no paints.

So a Thunderstrike SCE premium kit might be Yndrasta, 3 Annihilators, Knight Vexillor with Banner of Apotheosis plus five more SCE. Having received my own copy of Yndrasta this weekend, she seems about twice the size of the Broodlord, even if it due mainly to her "tactical ruin". So I assume Hatchette will think "bigger, more impressive model means fewer minis overall, but same in terms of value." That's just my guessing, of course.

Ill be certainly picking this up, from subscribing to the Imperium Premium for the Same Price, the premium for Storm bringer isn't justified when you weigh that even with the premiums of both Mortal Realms and Imperium. i cant justify a extra model which i already have, and a extra magazine :/

Does anyone have any news yet on whereabouts in the UK the trial will be running?

What's the Underworlds terrain set doing in there lol

Depending on how the spruces are split between issues there’s some bargains to be had here, as long as you can find a reliable source of individual issues.

This looks outstanding. Will be all over this.

All the Underworlds warbands had AOS rules as far as I am aware. Not sure if the terrain had rules, but sure would help new players out having terrain options.

Wonder if those Warhammer + exclusive models will ever show up in one of these partworks.

The first delivery is issues 1 and 2, so you have to pay £2.99 but then you get the first two magazines and the modelling set. Good bargain!

Local stores are useless around here so no point ordering there.

I assume the destruction minis ( not the kruleboy) are part of the premium offer and not the regular magazine right?

Sure the Destruction boys are part of the regular magazine.

the big group picture has previously only shown the stuff in the normal magazine

the premium add ons get their own images

Nice! Thats so much goodness there! Squig herds im looking at you!

Squig herds, loon boss, fungus goblin man, lots of good scenery, orruk megaboss, dragons, chariots, krule boy monsters, so much good stuff that I'll be getting from this : )

Looks like the trial runs in Essex

Very happy I held out buying any dragons.

Really good looking mix of order and destruction minis, could be a great intro to the hobby for some people.

Already have a 3k plus painted Kruleboyz army so will probably not subscribe, but will definitely be all over Forbidden Planet for select Gloomspite/non Dominion Stormcast issues.

It is a much better way to get more people into the game with the different mix of factions in this series.
I wonder if Essex is the only area doing the test run.
Looked in two shop's here in the North-East but no luck.

Every other one so far has been in the same place I thought. And nowhere near Essex..?

I really, don't need a 3rd Knight-Arcanum..but £2.99 is too good to pass up, especially for the boss as well. Don't see myself subscribing, but certainly picking up issues along the way.

It would be nice if this made Dominion go down to its half price point again everywhere.
I’d like another copy and missed out on the whole £60 ish point.

Providing variety from what was in Mortal Realms for people subscribing to both?

The other thing to consider is what experienced players/ Warhammer old hands consider an Underworld product may have its own bespoke rules to include it Warhammer Stormbringer.

Stormbringer, Mortal Realms, Conquest and Imperium are all self contained games systems that do not require a subscriber to buy any other GW rulebook or Codex to use.



For those worried about the lack of detail for the Premium side, as this is likely a trial run, no-one will receive any product if they sign up now. Hopefully, the full premium details will be published before the main release. Final content of the Premium sub may only be decided on based on response to the trial run.

Never played AoS but those dragons for £18 as a painting project are an absolute steal. The tree chap and some of the mounted models would also be good for £9/£18. Mortal Realms didn't really draw me in but this may give me a reason to get into AoS which ultimately is the aim. Looking forward to the national role out.

I've seen some people online say the premium model is only worth £10, however the sprue is sold on GW for £68 and it doesn't look splitable from the other models. Am I missing something £40 for a £68 sprue seems decent enough.

You could get that same sprues in the Dominion starter set along with all of the other miniatures for around £30 more compared to the set listed at £68.

You know, if the prices were not insane for the 40k version currently available in the US, I would be happy to see this come across the pond. Not so sure at the rates hachette is selling imperium for here.

Especially since i would assumably be paying for several issues upfront, with a shipping cost each damn time (I would not be against this if it was a nominal flat rate, but knowing commercial shipping rates they are charging an exhorbitant amount for shipments.

The person I saw who posted a copy said North Essex.

Eh, I've slapped a subscription down anyhow.

Just a normal sub mind you. Not that fussed about premium as the first 2 sets are basically Yndrasta and her sprue (eh) and a Gnashtoof Killaboss and his sprue (boltboyz and murk banner iirc). None of which are that important to me.

So for the price it's at, I'll not say no. That is a very respectable lot of things and my kruleboyz will appreciate reinforcements. The rest is sell fodder or painting project really.

Bear in mind, as this is just a trial, you may well not receive anything at this point. Though think you will then start the subscription when the magazine goes live (I'm guessing shortly after Imperium finishes, so a year or so's time), though you may get some free issues.

I think it was a free mug for signing up early to Imperium rather than an extra free issue. Although this time they already have included a mug in the free gifts.

Anyone know what shops usually actually stock these in the UK? Not a massive in person shopper these days so I'm well out of the loop! Wh smiths? Do they still exist?

W H Smiths almost certainly, the larger newsagent chains and some supermarkets in my experience, but this is only a trial run, so only available in a small part of the country, possibly Essex, but don't know if that's actually been confirmed.

Cheers, I was more thinking for when it actually comes out the best way to hoover up an ungodly amount of cheap squigs. So things like GT News might have it? Otherwise I am looking at going all the way into town, which if you've been to Sheffield city centre lately you'll know, is not that appealing. (unless spice zombies and people eyeing you up to see if you are worth mugging is your idea of a good time!)

They sound like a good bet, however, a lot of places only get the first few issues in, then unless you ask them to specifically order the magazine for you they stop stocking it. So no good if you want to pick up the odd issue here and there. I believe Forbidden Planet tend to stock the mags for mail order, so they might be a good bet.

Depends on how good is your local newsagent... My experience is they get first numbers then they drop and just get random numbers inconsistently and in very small quantities. You ask if they can order they say yes and then screw up every month making it so frustrating you give up. Im going to pick some issues online only ( will try forbidden planet)

I can't say I've ever seen any of the Warhammer or 40k magazines in my local 3 or 4 newsagents, but you don't really know if that's because they never had them or they sold them (I've not exactly been avidly looking for them either). I'll try and at least check around when they release these properly and at least see which are stocking at all.

Online does feel inevitable though, although that does have the concerns of things selling out with every decent issue being swallowed up by scalpers.

Thanks that explains it, I take it £10 comes from taking the cost of Dominion and dividing by the number of sprues?

It's a tricky one when it comes to value. If you were able to get Dominion then it's worth a tenner but anyone late to the party will have to pay the current RRP of £68. Though I am guessing the Dominion price is keeping second hand prices down. Looking at the models included on the sprue based on GWs normal pricing £40 doesn't seem like a bad deal if you did miss out on Dominion.

Looking at the models included on the sprue based on GWs normal pricing £40 doesn't seem like a bad deal if you did miss out on Dominion.

The £10 comes from the fact that Dominion was massively overstocked, so there was a massive price crash on it and a ton of extra models available at next to no price. Yndrasta is a fantastic model, pretty large and cool, but you could go on ebay right now and buy it new on sprue for about £10. In time, the price might start to go up once the thousands of extra kits work their way out of circulation, but we're still a pretty long way away from that I reckon.

At that price it's a tempting buy for a conversion into a 40K Sisters project! Thanks for the clarification. Yeah based on that, it's hard to see the value. Wonder how the Premium models are decided, it's likely Hachette are unaware of the overall market for each sprue. It could be a case of GW trying to get rid of the stock they can't shift at £68.

Don't be daft. They won't wait for one to finish before starting the other. Imperium was coming out while Mortal Realms was in its last third. Mortal Realms was coming out while Conquest was the same.

It's a patter than has happened twice before. It's not going to suddenly change like that.

This will have been decided before Dominion was even released most likely.

Around issue 60 in previous times if I had to guess / use my vague memory.

Aiming to try and go halfies with a Kruleboyz mate. If that falls through, hopefully Forbidden Planet sell it, just like they have done with all previous iterations. Best place to pick up random issues.

Nice one - now subscribed with kruleboyz mate.

I'm seeing the price at $13.99 per issue in the US.. is that the "insane" prices you mean, or is there some scalpers charging an arm and a leg?

Wow. For some reason the US subscribers get charged P & P plus the US FAQ states the binders have to be bought.

Makes me glad that Hachette UK absorb that cost.

Makes me glad that Hachette UK absorb that cost.

The US Post Office is flat f*cking broke, and as a result they keep raising prices every year. It has gotten to the point that at work we check and see if UPS or FedEx can get the package there cheaper...and usually they can now. I still find Imperium worth it, especially the Necron issues. And I can always use more paint...

Happy with that sad state of affairs but, on the subject of binders, I'm not sure why the UK FAQs state this:

Are there any binders or extras with the subscription?
If you subscribe from Issues 01, 02, 03 or 04, you will receive your FREE binder with dividers in your 3rd delivery. If you subscribe from Issue 05, 06 or 07, you will receive your first binder with dividers with issue 7 at the price of £8.99 (€10.99).

Subsequent binders (without dividers) will be sent to all subscribers with Issues 23, 43 and 63 at the price of £8.99 (€10.99).

As a subscriber, you will also automatically receive special issues as they become available (items and prices vary).

You will be automatically opted in to receive binders and special issues throughout your collection, though you may opt out of receiving these by contacting our Customer Service Team.

The US site has this:

Do I have to get the binders?
3 months ago
Yes, the binders are an integral part of the collection. The magazines are only loosely bound and designed to pull apart so that you can file the various sections of the magazine in the correct sequence. For example all the painting instructions will be filed together, as will the instruction guides. This allows for easier reference of the material as your collection grows.

So this being the trial I didn’t think I’d see it down here.
However a newsagents one Ipswich did have a load.
So I grabbed two (and for some reason he put them through at £2.29 each, so even better!

Anyone heard anything more recently?

No its been pretty much radio silence for now.

If it follows previous releases it should be in the next few months. Hopefully we'll hear more soon.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of a delay while they figure out what the fallout of the collapse of Eaglemoss means for them

(they actually felt the need to post on facebook, and i think twitter that hattchette wasn't part of or associated with Eaglemoss, and that subscribers magazines weren't in jeopardy)

Here you go:
https://gamefound.com/projects/archon-studio/united-kingdom-dungeons--lasers-third-edition/products/details/13754

In addition to archon studio.

Nolzurs dragons are decent for the price, mostly. 'Young dragons' are big enough for most gaming purposes, of late D&D has been supersizing their giants and dragons. Nolzur's do a lot of flying poses also.

Reaper can be excellent for dragons but you need to pick them carefully.

My trouble with most GW dragons are molded on faction insignia, the notable exception being the black dragon. The two flying dragons here are nicely posed, but they are covered in faction armour, you only want them if you want the army and if you want the army there you go. But if you are not into Sigmarines then you can find far better dragon options elsewhere.

Issue 1 scheduled for release 31.08.22. So it begins.

No idea. Fauxhammer, the chap who gives a lot of very accurate and very useful info on these mags and who watches here as well, is being very cagey about it on fb. He definitely knows something about it that he can't share. From what he's saying, it doesn't sound positive.

Apologies. Meant to quote the above in my previous comment.

Wouldn't surprise me with their production and logistics issues if it got delayed. That's a lot of plastic they need to produce for the magazine.

Fingers crossed it's just delays.

Rumour websites are rumour websites.
It’s all clicks.
I see no reason this won’t run just like the other three successful runs.

From whenever it starts, they’ve had varied starts post trial period. So this just may be a bit longer.
Unless not enough of the trial copies/initial subscriptions sold to warrant bothering.
But personally I don’t see that being the case.

It's either been canned which is possible as it didn't seem to generate the buzz the first three mags did. Or they have delayed it.

It's possible that it is simply delays in logistics but with the sprues manufactured by Nottingham and the paper mags printed in Europe the supply chain isn't as stretched as GW's normal reliance on paper products from China. I could see it simply being fatigue, they have been putting out these mags with a ~£40 per month commitment since August 2018. They might simply be waiting for Imperium to wrap up rather then dilute the market with two mags at once

They’ve never waited on the others to worry about diluting.

But has it been delayed?
We are just still waiting on it’s first issue date to come, I’m not seeing why this is a “delay”?

NM

Valrak has said that a HH magazine may be on the way. If it’s being seriously considered then they may be wanting to run that before Stormbringer to get more people onboard the new version.

Danny76 wrote:

If this is coming out at the end of the month as suggested then the overlap with Imperium is significant. You are looking at Imperium being on about issue 54 of 80, that's 26 issues of overlap. You end up asking people to spend £80 a month for 5 months which, in the current climate of cutting luxury spending by most people, may just not be sustainable. If I remember rightly the other mags only had an overlap of a month or so which is much more palatable. Plus they may simply be seeing burnout which makes dilution a bigger issue then with previous mags.

It's all rumour on rumour so it could all end up to be rubbish, I can just see how this might be an issue if it ends up coming true.

Another trial run? Maybe they weren't convinced by the first one.

Imperium had a trial run too. It's just the way Hachette do things.

Stormbringer has already had a trial run. This is a second one listed as “retest”.

 lare2 wrote:

A lot of early Stormbringer stuff is just the Dominion contents right? Them already being very cheap to find due to the abundance of the boxset and would-be scalpers having bought too much means the sales might've flagged compared to the last one. Plus Kruelboys don't seem nearly as popular as Nighthaunt were.

Looks like they're testing whether a smaller A4 format is going to sell better or worse than their normal launch format on a bit of card you could roof a house with (and that shops hate as they don't have space to put it out)

They did have the A4 format at launch in supermarkets for Imperium (I picked up a few of those issue 1s along with my larger Smiths copy), not sure about the next two as I didn’t pick up additional copies of those.

I didn’t know who had quoted end of August as a date.

But how many issues were the overlap from Conquest to Mortal Realms, and Mortal Realms to Imperium?

Was quite a bit for sure.



What is Valrak basing this Horus Heresy Magazine “rumour” on? His usual plucked from thing air magic or has anything been posted anywhere that we can all see?

It’s like me saying there will possibly be an Old World magainze.
I mean sure, there could be. But, just an idea.

Until GW does something to improve the Kruelboys on the table, the aftermarket will remain oversaturated with Dominion models that nobody wants. It doesn't really make sense for anybody to pay a monthly subscription when they can get the entire Dominion box for like $90?

They need to stay away from the Dominion sprues if they want this to be successful.

Yep, pretty much all but confirmed that this will be another test - FFS. I might be pessimistic but I'm thinking we'll never see a full release.

So this isn't actually releasing tommorow after all? Only in certain areas?

who knows, i'm on the hachette email list so should have heard something if it is meant to appear tomorrow,

but i wouldn't trust that so i'll try and pop into WH Smiths and ask

I do wonder if Kruleboyz might be part of the issue. They don't seem to have made the splash the Nighthaunt did and I don't think can be easily offloaded. One of the issues with this format is to get the value you have to want everything or be able to offload what you don't want. The saving may not be there for many (particularly with belts being tightened) if they just want the Stormcasts and some of the terrain and can't afford to be left with files of unneeded sprues.

GW has hired some new people for 'Part-Works' so they are likely keen to keep the ball rolling, hence the retest to assure a unconvinced Hachette?

There has been some discussion on the Facebook group that the contents has changed but so far no definitive list as to what.

The website's up and running again.

Ohh Xandria's there as a free gift this time. Neat, i wanted another one of her.

The problem with premium (for existing players, it's still neat for the actual target audience) is the first two deliveries are £66 for two of the big sprues from Dominion when it's been possible to pick up a Dominion box for that much, a quick search and you can still get it for £80 now.

At least they've resisted going up to £9.99 an issue.

Trial area is Blackpool if you're in the NW UK.

Is this definitely just a trial in certain areas only? The site says it actually releases today but i'm not sure if that's wrong, phoned 3 WHSmiths near me and they don't have it.

Doh - premium was auto selected when i tried to subscribe - feel I am conditioned to assume the worst now - lol

Ok now this is interesting, it contains almost everything I like about AoS.
Sadly Hachette canada is run like a recycle scam for the unsold EU stuff (and also they sell stuff 4 years later, onces all the paper is basically outdated.

I'm still subbed to Conquest and may get that one after that.

Conquest? Damn..
So is Mortal Realms running about 20-30 issues behind it?

So you’ll have Imperium still before this too..

I've subbed. Under £3 for some models and the modelling stuff is pretty decent. If nothing else I can either use the parts for conversions or give the models to my son when he's old enough. Probably cancel after the first or second payment.

yeah second payment shoots up in price. Best to cherry pick issues after that really.

Premiums are super stingy this time around, no?

According to Fauxhammer they're using wording like '+ more' after telling us what we get. It's vague and probably means they're not gonna be worth anywhere near as much as the previous premium upgrades. I certainly wouldn't get it based on what we have currently been shown.

They have the full premium content on the website now and “+more” has been removed. It’s really lacking compared to previous collections.

Except Conquest. It’s better than how that started.

I still think you get some kind of value from the Premiums. They’re just not as instantly impressive as the three preceding ones

Well. Maybe excluding the first 40K one.

Not that the individual products in the Conquest Premium were bad. I have one or two of the fold out mats from sellers on and they are nice, just not worth the extra payout.

I am happy with my Imperium extras so far. The Tau one will go well with the Pathfinders from the Chelnath box.

The irony is I've actually used the boxes and boards from Conquest premium while the Mortal Realms sprues are in the pile of shame. Which is in my Conquest boxes.

Not in the slightest. I'm gonna be all over the SCE side of this. Held off buying a few things like dragons, specifically, waiting and hoping for this release.

I just want another megaboss (already got two) though I will ofc be buying plenty more stuff from this magazine.

Have we got the contents picture. I can’t really remember what was coming, or what bits I might be wanting.

I’m hearing dragon and thinking yes.
But for no reason other then would be cool to have and paint.

Ok page one yeah.
Warboss is cool, nothing else that side.
Presumably those dragon rider things will be one per issue.
Some of that terrain may be nice.
And did I see that slamming down SCE character who had a novel release in there?

So the dragon issues are likely going to be as popular as those Necron Flayed Ones issues - ergo sold out in seconds once we know which issues they are in. Heck I'm tempted just to grab those ones off Forbidden Planet if I can.

Yeah I don’t need any Stormcast, but if I can pick a load of them up cheap, that could be a cool way to get a good bunch of Stormcast going with the old magazine stuff and Dominion etc..

So yesterday I got those free models that Hachette mentioned a few months ago for people who had re-subscribed to Stormbringer; it's only that bloody golden Sequitor sprue again

I also got these, just in an envelope on their own with a note saying the magazine should be arriving with it. Has anyone else had anything actually arrive?

Sorry misread and corrected the trial dates are still in the issue listings

fairly underwhelmed tho i guess i might get the shamen/grotpot issue

Gonna have to get two or three of that Praetor. She's a really nice one.

Maybe the limited model, and the Truthseekers. I always like the Underworlds minis.
Will get the Orc ones when they are in an issue too assuming they come.

The face on that Praetor if a bit of an oof. Might make a nice conversion base for an Inquisitor though.

That reminds me. Was rooting around in my Boudoir the other day, and found Issue 5 of Conquest.

Will put it up in the Loot Group.

Does anybody know if Forbidden Planet (or any other website) will be selling individual issues?

I've got no interest in subscribing to the whole thing but I'm sure there will be a few issues that I'd like to pick up for the models.

Yes they should do, as well as Hatchettes own site. However expect any popular issues (the dragons) to be near instant sell outs (get scalped to death)

Hatchettes own site is a nightmare to order single issues from, so I'm glad that Forbidden Planet will be doing it as usual. I'd quite like a couple of the KruleBoyz issues.

I thought that they would be already on FP at this point? I guess not.

Aren't we close to the release date?

WHSmiths is also a source of these individually if you have one locally. I've heard reports of Tesco's and Asda doing them as well but it seems very regional.

Yes, i often see the paint and less popular ones on the shelf, but you have to be there early for the popular issues.

Not all of them keep them on,

there's usually a point where drop them (i've been told its when they can no longer return the unsold issues to the publisher for free), they're more likely to keep them on if they see healthy sales

so do talk to the staff if your going to depend on getting issues

Despite the Fauxhammer post it looks like this hasn't actually formally launched yet. Hachette's own site doesn't have anything up yet and the magazine's site (warhammerstormbringer.com) is still only accepting email addresses which will let you know when it launches. It may be that nothing will actually go live until February 15th itself.

It's worth noting that FP has been fairly slow to update with the latest issues of Imperium... whether this a Hachette or FP issue remains to be seen.

February 15th. I already mentioned it up above.

Forbidden planet has put issues 1-4 up for preorder. It's happening.

Woo! got my cheap Gutrippaz!

I know they are already faily cheap on ebay, but this is an absolute bargain.

Hachette still not taking subscriptions though.... I've added the first three issues to my Forbidden Planet order for now. If it's like Imperium I should be able to sub from issue 4 without losing out I think?

When do we think FP will put issue 5 up? I am not onboard for this until I've painted some of the last three partworks, but I'd quite like the exclusive model.

Super, thanks. Grabbed one of them.

I don’t know whether to grab issue 5.
To make it more worth while you need to end up ordering extra issues.
Otherwise it’s £11 for one issue.
But then I have he hassle of selling off the spare issues.

To be fair £11 for a limited edition GW mini is excellent value, comparatively speaking

I decided to go for issue 1 and 5. Nothing too inspiring about the rest and I'm not planning another Sigmar army any time soon, so they'll be painting projects.

This is true.
Any GW character for that price is good value really.
But I dunno, I guess it’s just not selling itself to me enough to pull the trigger.
I also don’t want to start the magazine run, as I did the last three for the start bits anyway.

Not sure when this changed, but the premiums seem significantly better now

They do indeed. Effectively £40 a pop so…

Krondys for less than 50%
Gordrakk a little bit less than 50%

And I can’t be bothered to check the others.

I really hope this comes to the US.

The sub page is live

https://www.warhammerstormbringer.com/

The content has changed from the original photo - there is less terrain now, not sure about the rest.

I think they’ve just spaced it out better?

No, they've swapped out one of the duplicated scatter terrain from from Underworlds for a second statue and five more vindicators.

Definitely 1 domicile shell (was 3 now 2), 1 statue added and the 2nd Beastgrave terrain set removed.

Just noticed they are charging €1 postage per issue for Ireland, think I’ll stick to just picking up the issues I want from Easons.

i could lol, some decent savings and im pretty tempted to go premium.

Krondys £95 save £55
Gordrakk £75 saves £35
Troggoth set £78.50 saves £38.50
Grundstok set £80.50 saves £40.50

Some one else is free to work out the percentages!

Not sure if it was there before, but one of the Kruleboyz special ed models is the seventh free gift. Boy with the vulture.

It's a change. The seventh free gift was originally the Citadel Paint holder hexagon thingy.

I'm not in the market as a non-AOS collector/ player but Hachette do seem willing to look at, reassess and play around with the Premium side.

Imperium vs Conquest Premium is a good example. Not that I wouldn't have considered the Conquest boards and cards if they were a cheaper voluntary add on but they certainly didn't shout £160 worth of 'Premium' especially as I don't think they were detailed beforehand.

Can you start with a premium subscription and then drop down to a normal subscription later? I certainly wouldn't mind a Krondys but I'm not keen on the other three..

You can yeah. It's in their FAQ's.

You can also not start your subscription until issue 5 and still get premium. Might be worth picking up the other issues from the shop (if you want them). Or at least the first three as you need to start with issue 4 if you want the free gifts.
Although subscribing seems to get you issue 2 for free so you save the £8 there...

I'm going to do the usual subscribe for £3, get issue 1 & 2 + glue, clippers and then cancel.

It's a nice little bundle of minis to enjoy, small warband of orcs with a leader, useful for all sorts of games.

Issue 6 & 7 are up on forbidden planet. Not sure what's in them, but they're up.

6 is 10 Hobgrotz Slittaz
7 is Corax White and Catachan Flesh

Forbidden Planet have changed the release date of issue 1 to 22nd February.

That's odd. It's definitely out now. Maybe it's to post issues 1+2 together?

I have noticed copies in my local WHSmith and Tesco (Warwickshire) so first issue would seem to be fairly widely available - I bought one for head swaps with 40K figures.

I've seen at least four TV adverts for it tonight, so looks like they are pushing it heavily.

Looks like the seventh free gift has been changed to Stormcast Xandria Azurebolt miniature.

According to the link it's still the gutrippa boss. Xandria was the special edition model last time.

I wish this was available In the USA.....

Has a calculation of value / price been done for the whole run, including premium? I'm thinking I may want to just sub to this. For the 40k magazines, which is my preferred universe as far as minis go, I've been buying select issues, but having to keep up with what looks best value has become very tedious over the years, I'm thinking just a full subscription might be the way to go in future.

Considering there's a near year difference from when Imperium started in the UK to when it started in the US, we might still get it.

Fauxhammer did a calculation of the magazine only miniatures last year but there's been a price increase since then and another coming soon so it represents better value if anything. Someone up above has given the values for the premium issues.

I'm like you in thinking that the stress of ordering individual issues through Forbidden Planet isn't worth it, especially with them only putting up a few issues at a time and also selling out quickly.

However, I'm also not completely taken with AoS being a grumpy old man who can't work out why they didn't just keep the Old World as it was. I'm going to pick up the first three issues individually and then make a decision as I think I can still subscribe from issue 4 and get all the goodies.

So we're up to issue ten.

https://forbiddenplanet.com/catalog/?q=warhammer%20stormbringer&page=1

Anyone seen if Faux has the next set of contents at all?

I definitely want to be jumping in on some random issues of this mag at some point.

You won't lose out if you order every issue blind as soon as Forbidden Planet list it and then selectively cancel orders as Fauxhammer details the contents.



Plus, if anyone is interested how about a 1.2m tall Alien counts as Tyranid Bio Titan model from Hachette.

https://alien.hachettepartworks.com/

Only 13 deliveries at £94.99 each!

With a 17cm tall Alien, counts as a Tyranid Knight sized Tyrant as a free gift....

Does issue two really give out 10 goblins for less than a tenner? Damn, hope it comes to Aus, would be useful to grab a few issues as WFB hobgoblins or something!

Yes, that was pretty nice - five kitbashed into Aberrants, and the others soon to be painted non-green for D&D!

I was pretty sure I was subscribed to this - they sent me the free stormcast sprue for signing up to the trial run - but i've yet to receive anything. Anyone else in the same boat?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh, never mind, I'm thick - they're clearly going to send me 4 issues at a time and we've only got to issue 3.

Actually I'm in the same boat. If I log in to the Hachette site it says there was a delivery for the first two issues but I haven't had anything. I'm going to have to contact them tomorrow and find out what's going on lol

I didnt sign up on previous trail run, but i have subbed now and they send the 1st 2 issues out and then its 4 issues at a time from then onwards, i received my 1st 2 issues early last week.

Not received anything other than an email with my receipt for payment last week

Waiting on this on to get going properly, full run contents list would be nice but I think we only get that nice ever before.
But even just ten up at a time would be good then we could advance order on FP as we go.

I can’t see how Hachette releasing ten issues worth helps anyone but Forbidden Planet though ? Hachette’s main objective is to get subscribers , and to sell direct. If it’s a good issue they’ll sell all their direct copies regardless, with the now larger price difference I suspect they may limit the “good” issues more this time around outside of subscriptions.

Obviously I’d like to know in advance what is coming , just can’t see it happening.

Just a reminder that issue 5 with the Praetor-Prime is out today.

Cheers for this - I'm gonna drop them an email.

I subbed from when trial was announced and still haven’t received any issues. Looks like they sent 1-6 out together for me yesterday. They can be a bit hit and miss about how they organise the deliveries.

My issue 5 Praetor Prime arrived this morning from FP.

Waiting for my 2 to arrive from FP. Noticed issues 11 and 12 are up on FP too. So it's up in the air as to what those are.

No kidding! They apparantly sent me issues 1 and 2 on Feb 17th (which I don't have) and then issues 3 - 6 on March 17th (which I also don't have, but this could also still be in the post). I contacted their customer support a little while ago about the missing issues 1 and 2 and I see they sent them "again" on March 14th - and I also don't have those.

I was going to subscribe to Premium to get the dragon but it seems like not only have I missed the boat on that, I might also have dodged a bullet and saved myself some money on issues that would never actually get to me

I have asked twice to upgrade to premium and ignored both times.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Hachette have finally come back to me and confirmed that as they have taken over a month to process my upgrade to premium it is no longer possible, so I need to cancel my subscription and take out a new subscription at an earlier issue number, so paying for a further 2 issues I already own.

The option to cancel a subscription on the website is also not working so I need to try and get through to a call centre if I want to do this.

 Inquisitor Gideon wrote:

Presumably not till a lot later in the run..

My sub issues #3-6 arrived yesterday, i wasnt expecting 4 paints in #4 back of #6 shows 2x paint in future issues

Wrong thread, sorry.

Has anyone else not received anything? I've been charged the initial price and a second full month's price and have yet to receive anything..

My original subscription had two deliveries apparently sent and received neither. I cancelled this one to upgrade to premium and they are not responding to my queries about the missing deliveries.

My second premium subscription I received my delivery within 2 days. The postage date of this delivery was three days after the second delivery of my first subscription so both my first two have either gone missing or were never sent.

Good luck trying to get a refund or replacement dudes.

I'd never deal directly with Hatchette again, their customer service is very poor, IMHO.

On another note, issues 11-16 are up on FP. No idea what they are yet however. Also of note issue 5 has gone, so popular/scalped to hell.

I emailed hachette to say I'd not had any deliveries yet, they replied within 48hrs to confirm my address, apologize and say they were sending out replacements. Assuming those replacements materialize, all good with me.

I emailed their customer service yesterday. Not received anything yet but I'll give it a couple of days.

I received my "replacement" issues 1 and 2 (from March 14th) on March 23rd but no sign of issues 3 - 6 which were allegedly sent three days later on March 17th.

Customer service insisted it has nothing to do with the two 'old' subscriptions (#005 and #006) that are on my account from when I tried to subscribe during the previous two trials, neither of which I can cancel.. and that everything is fine with my current, active subscription (#008). Yet the only delivery I have received (from March 14th) appears under a fourth subscriber number (#009), and not the active one.

Clearly something is pretty borked and I'm getting the feeling that I will have to contact customer service each time I want to recieve a delivery.

To be fair, issue 5 was up for quite a while, so while it will no doubt be one of the more popular issues, I don't think that it's fair to say that it was scalped.

I'm more surprised that issue two is still available. Just goes to show that Stormbringer is nowhere near as popular as Imperium, but I guess we already knew that.

I think that's more to do with the amount of issue 2 contents already on the secondary market.

No doubt that plays a big part, but the price is significantly better than on ebay, even.

Even for those who don't like Kruleboyz, with a bit of imagination and headswaps they can go a long way: Gnolls, Beastmen, and a whole host of Chaos types.

People see common Kruleboyz, I see very cheap conversion potential

I find their customer service slow and unresponsive (although in starting this subscription, they got back to me pretty quick) BUT in my experience they always sort you out in the end. The fact that I've had issues not turn up or address changes not processed in all three of the prior series isn't a positive sign, but every time I got in touch and they sent me out replacements. With one issue of Conquest there was a misprinted page in the magazine (it had got folded up in the printer so was unreadable) - I sent a photo and they sent me a full replacement. Not just the magazine but the mini as well.

They're not fun to deal with but I've never heard any instances of people either not eventually getting their stuff or their money back, which is my (admittedly low) bar for customer service.

Once you do get through to them, Hachette CS in my experience have been pretty good in getting you sorted out with missing issues and sprues. It's just a lot of waiting.

Quite telling the Mortal Realms mag didn't do well as the Stormcast Xandria Azurbolt exclusive mini is a free mini in this run of magazines.

That can be in no way the reason Xandria is in this.
They will have had to have made more for this run, not just had what was left.

But yeah their customer service is great when I get through to it. They’ve sent me replacement boxes of all four issues before and all sorts.

Actually issue 2 is sold out on the hatchette site. Just seems like FP has whatever is left. So apparently people are clearing it out.

"Actually"?

It wasn't sold out yesterday, when I wrote that. Maybe I initiated a surge in sales

They got back to me today. Confirmed my address and said they're sending them so, we'll see I guess.

What was the last issue and the next few upcoming?

Issue 10 is the most currently known, which is Xandire's Truthseekers. 11-16 are up on FP, but the contents aren't known yet.

FP says both 8 and 9 are out tomorrow, is that correct?

Did anyone else get an email from Hachette on the 6th stating there had been a problem with the shipment of issues and that they would be sending them out again?

My delivery of issues 3 - 6 from March 17th had not yet arrived, and I see there was a new shipment of issues 1 - 6 on April 7th (the day after the email) which also hasn't arrived yet. They really seem to be struggling with this..

I haven’t received either of the two shipments on my first subscription (which I had to cancel as missed opportunity to upgrade to premium as they didn’t process my request), had no messages about them reshipping and they are ignoring my customer service messages.

I got my first delivery, issues 1 to 6, on thursday the 13th if that helps anybody

Looking at the Forbidden Planet website it appears that issue 13 has sold out. Do we even know the contents yet?

Issues 11, 12, & 14-18 are all still available (no cover images yet)

Not for certain, no. 11 is confirmed to be killbow. Rumor that accurately predicted 11 says Chariot for 12 and paint for 13.

Paint would be odd to be sold out. Unless it's agrax earthsade

Where are you getting the info from? I can't see it on Fauxhammer

A random yahoo who claims to have got the information from Hachette. Take with large quantities of salt. Fauxhammer is being uncharacteristically quiet when it comes to Stormbringer.

At some point during Imperium Fauxhammer basically got brought into the GW/Hachette system formally. This allowed them to get official news on upcoming releases; but also means that they can't post rumour/leak information much earlier. So chances are whilst they are the most organised resource and the most popular, there might well be others who were leaking to Faux who are now just leaking to anyone to pick up the info.

Ha ha! My exact dilemma. I've one already and had 3 preordered... still debating whether or not to cancel. Do I really need 4??

Got 7-10 from the subscription today.

Vaguely interesting is Xandire's Truthseekers, the Underworlds warband, are in grey plastic rather than the blue they are in if you get either of the boxes they originally came in.

In case anyone was still buying into the "they're using up old stock" concept.

Surely that just means they have made big pile of grey sprues to sit on warehouse until they can "use up old stock to clear warehouse" ;-)

Just had my third delivery arrive today but still no sign of my second delivery. Guess it's time to get hold of CS and hope they can send out a replacement.

Issues 15-18 contents up on Fauxhammer.

https://www.fauxhammer.com/partworks-magazines/warhammer-stormbringer-magazine-issues-15-18-contents-confirmed/

Feeling a bit of a let down after 11-14 (not that I've received mine yet) but would be hard to keep up that standard.

Oh i don't know, everything looks good there barring the paint issue.

Will be quite happy to pick up the UW warband I think. Stormbringer definitely isn't doing it for me like Mortal Realms or the 40k ones, but there are still some nice self contained projects to be had.

It's pretty disjointed. Weirdly I'm enjoying putting the issues into the little binder as much as anything, it's like doing a sticker album. The painting and modelling bits go straight in the bin but the fluff bits are alright and the tables for naming the characters, achievements to track etc are quite amusing

Yeah, nothing I really need this month. It's when the newer Stormcast kits hit that there will tend to be bunfights I think.

Apparently the goblintrader.es site has leaked the full list, iirc this was pretty correct last time this happened

I would guess the empty issues are paint or terrain

Stormdrake guard over 5 issues .at be a bit of a stretch though

Theres' no way that's right for the stormdrake guard. it's only a two sprue box.

I can see them stretching it to 4 issues (one issue for each flying base), but yeah, can't see how they can turn it into 5 issues.

No, not a chance. The bases aren't that big and neither is the flying stand.

 Inquisitor Gideon wrote:

One of the issues of Conquest/Imperium (I forget which one) contained a base for the Repulsor.

So with that precedent being set, I'd say yes, there is a chance

Looking at the contents of stormbringer again, that list is also missing swampboss skumdrekk, which is a 3 sprue kit, it could be possible that 76, 77 & 78 is that and the dragons are the final 2 issues, 1 full dragon per issue maybe ?

Sounds correct to me!

The spanish blog ¡Cargad! (Charge!) did a post with an image of each issue according to the leak and links to each unit in the GW webstore that I found quite useful as a reference, and may be useful too to others.

That's extremely helpful, thank you for the link!

Fauxhammer must be having an existential crisis right now, there are no more reasons for anybody to visit their website.

It must be torment for them - on the one hand they got official info direct from the source; on the other they are now no longer the leading news source because they can't post leaks.

You win some and you lose some, but I'm sure they'll be ok as they've got lots of other news/video content out there

Great link, definitely going to help getting the pennies in order at the right time. I didn't expect so many Goblins in the run, the characters, hoppers and UW warband are worth it.

I'm enjoying the fact I can get those UW bands for cheap too! There's 6 for the run by the looks!

Man, I really really hope this comes Stateside.

For your perusal

Hachette at present have issues 19 & 20 up on their site, contents match the above list

Hah, as did I - I recall there was a WD article about converting the squigs and handler into a mini-mangler - but they all have so much potential for fun little mods.

I just received my 5th delivery. It came with the Krondys premium kit, which I can't wait to build and paint.

But did anyone else get a letter with it with info about an extra Ogor Tyrant character pack? I've read and re-read a lot about the magazine and the subscription and what it'd include but did't see any mention of a Tyrant.

It'll be £9.99 for that extra issue. I'm new to the buying, building & collecting aspect of Warhammer so I just wanted to hear everyone else's thoughts to see if it's worth it or best to just give it a miss (You can get it for around £17 in some places but it does mention that it's a limited edition character pack too. So I'm not sure if it'll be an exclusive version like the Praetor Prime was or just a regular Tyrant.)

Hachette have done this before in Imperium offering Greyfax in the same way. The model is not limited other than coming with a magazine and a much cheaper price. It was towards the end in Imperium so this is much earlier. They also use this opt out system for other goodies like art books and I think there was a paint set in Conquest. I've seen it questioned if this style of opt out is legal (I don't know either way) but it seems shaky enough that if you phone Hachette and question it they seem to hand out refunds.

I see! It's just that from the wording it's easy to assume it's a limited-edition or exclusive model. haha
But yeah, I've seen people talk about how the add-ons feel a bit dodgy but Hatchette are upfront about what you're getting (for the most part) and how to cancel that or get refunds if you didn't cancel.

I'm new to collecting, building & painting (but have always loved WF/W40k from reading, watching videos, playing games) and that's what I'm focusing on for now so I might just get the big guy to add to the collection.
I'd love to play one day but sadly I have no friends and no places to play it near me. But future-proofing the collection in case the opportunity arises one day. A tenner for a big hero unit doesn't seem too bad!

PS: I'm actually excited to see what other add-ons they'll be offering in the future that haven't been mentioned yet. I saw that one of the previous subscriptions had a book trilogy. But random models seems more exciting.

Forbidden Planet are a bit cheeky, they just charged me for nxt weeks mag and are sending it out with this weeks mag, I wouldnt mind but its put me overdrawn by nearly £15, it inc the big orders postage charge too.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Also Forbidden Planet has more issues listed, its up to #31 or 32 now

Far as I'm aware the magazines are released in blocks of 4 every month for subscribers if I'm right. So FP just got a bunch of stock all at once and are sending it out all in one go

I used to batch receive issues of Imperium from Forbidden Planet especially if they were sequential issues and had been ordered at the same time.

In reality, if one orders enough different issues, some are free P&P because at one stage postage was capped at £5.50 even if the issues were spread over seven weeks as an example.

Yes you are correct they got a batch early, I emailed their CS team yesterday and got a reply not long ago. Aye subscribers get them delivered in batches of 4, i think it was last weekend or early this week that i received my sub copies #15-18.

Thanks, i will bare that in mind as im ordering extra issues of all the Krule Boyz and a few of the Stormcast issues to go along with my sub.

Postage is still capped but its now £5.95 and ive normally got 4 or 5 issues in my order.

Still nothing on those dragon rider guys yet?

According to the post above, they won't be (unsurprisingly) until the very last.

I've combined all the info in posts and links and tidied up names and formatting a bit.
