The Conquest magazine is not a GW product. It's by Hachette. There was a testrun of the translated magazine for a short time in Germany. They sold the first issue in a few magazine shops in southern Germany and allowed people to order subscriptions (company in charge was Internationale Presse (Ip)). But before anything was delivered they sent out letters to subscribers that this was a test, it would be ended and no magazines would be sent. They let it open if there is going to be anything in the near future. Now the german website is gone. No idea what they are planning. I guess there wont be anything anytime soon. The english magazine can be bought in Germany though, there are some online sites offering this service, it costs a bit more because of the shipping.

A bit of info from back then when it was announced

Thanks, very informative. That sounds like rather shady business, I'd probably be very frustrated if I ordered a sub only to be told that it was actually just a test run after already having received the first couple of issues.

It's standard practice for partworks, I've done loads of trials (knowing they were trials) so I could see what the mag\parts were like, if you subscribe you may or may not get the magazines (think it depends on stock) but you wont be charged and sometimes get a special offer when the full run starts.

Bit more annoying if you buy it from a shop, but real-world trials are done in limited areas and you generally get an option to get a refund or free issues when the full run starts.

I've read around in the German forums a bit and apparently the subscribers were totally unaware that it was just a test trial and were only told so after already getting hyped for receiving the full sub.
Personally, I'd feel frustrated too.
