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

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

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

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

Got a little question here...

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

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

Or have I mis-read that leaked list?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

they won't believe a word of it of course

EXCLUSIVE REVEAL

Are you ready to explore the background of the daring and deadly Silver Templar?

This exclusive book will take an in-depth look at the heroes, battles, rituals and traditions of this new Space Marine Chapter and it is all yours, this May, dispatched alongside issues 39-42!

Watch out for more details with the dispatch before.

https://www.facebook.com/warhammer40000conquest/videos/242799233325866/

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

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

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

Interestingly Forbidden Planet has discounted issue 9, in case anyone wants any more ETB Poxwalkers

Slightly surprised they didn't have a custom chapter from the get go, one specifically designed to work with a limited number of paints that are also useful on the DG, a silver based scheme seems ideal for that.

makes the Conquest! stuff slightly different from the rest of the game and they can finish off with custom chapter tactics etc for them and maybe a custom decal sheet.

seems a bit odd to have smurfs lead but then have this secondary lot as a focus in the magazine

It'll be because there will be very little artwork and painted Miniatures for this new chapter, using existing chapters means a host of GW licensed artwork and imagery ready to be copy pasted into each issue. For Deathguard the main art for them is green armour, so I suspect the idea behind continuing that is recognition.

P,us they already used green and blue plastics for ETB kits. Wouldn't be surprised if Dark Imperium eventually becomes coloured plastic.

For those who are interested, Forbidden Planet have just updated their Conquest pages to include the covers for issues up to No 37.

These covers clash with the list published on page 45 of this thread, excerpt below:

27. Chaos rhino, part 1
28. Chaos rhino, part 2
29. primaris, captain, intercessor sergeant, inceptor sergeant & hellblaster sergeant
30. Ryza Ruins #1

31. Primaris apothecary
32. plasma conduits
33. bloat drone, lord of contagion & 4x plague marines
34. paint: gehenna’s gold & dawnstone

35. primaris chaplin
36. paint: leadbelcher, deathguard green, macragge blue
37. Ryza Ruins #2
38. plague surgeon & gaming mat


According to Forbidden Planet's published covers, issue 31 is Celestra Grey, with number 32 being the Apothecary. The Chaplain remains issue 35 as it appears the Gehenna's Gold and Dawnstone issue has been removed or moved later in the schedule.

Additionally, issue 33 from the list (now 34) is Plaguecasters and Blightbringers rather than the predicted Bloat Drone, Lord and Plague Marines.

Not important in the grand scheme of things unless you ordered blind from the Forbidden Planet site and have now had to cancel issue 31 and put a new order in for issue 32...like me...

I really think I'll be cancelling my sub.

Monthly model drops are nice, but I'm not, in the end, drawn to either army.

Cancelled order.
I wanted an issue of 33, but not those character models.
38 currently on order, but may be cancelled when covers come down the line..

Interesting that they’ve “changed” the order.
Or it was always this, and prior info was wrong (everything will be posted saying changed everywhere, but who knows..)

So it looks like this now:

31. Primaris apothecary - PAINT
32. plasma conduits - APOTHECARY
33. bloat drone, lord of contagion & 4x plague marines - PLASMA CONDUITS
34. paint: gehenna’s gold & dawnstone - PLAGUECASTER SPRUE FROM DI
35. primaris chaplin - SAME
36. paint: leadbelcher, deathguard green, macragge blue - POSSIBLY SHADE PAINT
37. Ryza Ruins #2 - SAME

All bets are off for issues after that too..

interesting the lists from that Spanish place are wrong, though a few of the paints they note vary between Spanish and British editions.

doesn't matter massively but its interesting the order is being shaken up (or the Spanish website has the order wrong)

Then again, the translated list could be correct for the Spanish version.

Or they just got given a big list and collated wrong, or thought that was the order so posted it. Or something like that.
I doubt it’s changed as it was probably made well in advance.
So must be something somewhere along the line (and Hachette have never switched up issues for barious language prints before).

Or GW has found it cant supply the sprues for X in time but can supply Y (depending on the demands on different sizes of casting machines) etc so they're having to shuffle stuff a bit?

I guess it depends how much this was prepared in advance.
Is it all made and they are just releasing.
Or are they writing as they go.

I’d imagine, particularly looking at their partworks in general that it’s all created first, so they know what happens when etc.
as it’s building on next paint added, to all models received so far, and all that kind of thing..

Has anyone else not had their February subscription money taken yet (before I start wasting time chasing Hachette)?

Nope nothing for Feb yet on my account.

Bit early to start chasing though I’d say.
I’ll check mine now though to see

Nope nothing yet.

This is free brush delivery for those who started out.
So that’s something good to come..

Also I suppose that could be the delay for some reason too..

Nothing on my account yet (I was 21st last month and 14th in December). The payments seem to take a few days to appear and then back date themselves in the transaction log so I suspect I have been charged but it hasn’t filtered through yet.

Yeah that’s definitely the case.
One month I remember looking on there on the 25th for nothing, then on the 26th it said all those issues with 19/21st on there
