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

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


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Interestingly the dates say the 14th. Not sure how that compares to others. But that should mean arrival any day now.
Conquest was always about 14 days after

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

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

something I'll be trying to opt out of, assuming I can firstly get through to the flipping call centre and secondly get a line good enough to understand them.

can try to find out where my missing binder got to at the same time

CUSTOMER SERVICE UPDATE

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

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

For shop customers, we hope to get your orders out sooner but cannot guarantee that these will arrive in the specified time frame.

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

Issue 75 is the first of the repulsor tank issues

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My delivery, as expected, is also way overdue.

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

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

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

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

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

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

No reply either.

The latest delivery arrived today.

Nice presentation of the Silver Templars add on.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


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

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

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

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

What are the paints in the set?

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