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

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.

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.

11 is confirmed as people are posting the back cover of today's issue, advertising the next couple weeks.

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.

Confirmed

Gonna be cancelling my preorder of 13.

Awesome.

I'd much rather pay £8.99 for the man-skewer boltboyz rather than the borderline offensive price that GW is charging.

Bugger. Now the question is do i get three more chariots?

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
