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

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

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

Just looking at how mine matches up to yours..

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

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



very happy to be corrected by someone who can actually count

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

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

Biggest question for me personally..

Does that chaos rhino get:

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

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

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

But not more Macragge Blue :(


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

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

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

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

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

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

pity the CoD buildings are no more really

I love the nurgling wearing the champions helmet. Great touch

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

Lol it's great.

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

Got my 11-14 delivery today.

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

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

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

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

And that’s the model reasoning unfortunately.

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

Cleaned up list with prices.

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

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

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

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

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


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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He did put £11.88..

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

So more accurately.

(£95-£35) / 8 = sprue cost.


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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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