So just for clarification. The marine heroes are getting a world-wide release, the conquest partworks isn't?

That Middle Earth partwork from '02 was my initial steps into this hobby. It was great value for money and was great in general for a newbie. I'd be interested in picking up this one too just for the hell of it if it were available.

At the moment, no.

But, Hachette have previously made stuff available in U.K., EU and Australia/New Zealand.

Oz and NZ got the Dredd Megacollection, albeit a few months after the U.K. and EU. (Five, to be more precise)

Not sure what the criteria is for such a release, but at least it seems possible.

Pleased I signed up for this early as I received an email saying my first 3 issues would be free for being a supporter. I’ve ordered a couple of extra first issues as well because who can’t use marines, black paint and an extra brush, eh?

However, I’m a bit puzzled what will be included in future issues. I have presumed it will be models each time but they will rapidly run out of easy build ones. Aggressors? A redemptor split over multiple issues? A blight hauler? Then what? Do you think they have more easy build models in the works? Will they start putting bits of terrain on the cover instead?

Will the serialized 40k thing be UK only or will it include the USA?

When it was first trialled it was listed as UK only. Not sure if that has changed. Would be nice if it did and would help them spread the cost of developing new easy build models.

I think we'll see some new models. The preview for the unreleased Issue 5 had a Primaries Ultramarine Lieutenant an (as yet) unreleased model.

Oooooh. I hope they don’t go too far down the Ultramarine route. Generic marines are probably a bit more flexible.

It will almost certainly be UK only. Heck, Hatchette doesn't even have an American arm IIRC.

Has anyone heard anything about this launching? I thought it might have been available by now?

Rumours seem to point to September.

If it is a 1st September release I expect those us who signed up for this should get a mail in a week or two telling us it's happening.

Forbidden planet.com has about 12 issues listed starting September 1st , though if you subscribed I don't see any delivery until October as the shipments are in 4 issue groups according to the Hachette website

Order systems have issue one logged as September 1st.

Will there be any way to order individual issues of this online without having to deal with sclaperscum on ebay? I've no interest in subscribing for a bunch of models I won't use and what you assume will be sub-WD beginner level painting tips, but if they're going to put out unique new models through this it'll be annoying if there's no legit way to get hold of them.

The Dredd, 2000AD and Black Library collections are available individually, sometimes at a sale price! Check the Hachette website to see if magazine partworks are available as individual back issues.

I've just ordered some extra issues from Forbidden Planet. They might deliver to Europe, otherwise myself or one of the other Brits could potentially organise something if they come out with something killer.

Ah so even several issues in if there’s a good issue with a model and a paint I want, then Forbidden Planet I can just grab it as it’s out?
I was worrying it’d be a subscribe if you want stuff and no longer in shops after 4 or 5, like a lot of partworks.

Have FP always done that?

GW Stores are pimping it on their FB pages as of now.

If like others you’re mainly interested in the Exclusives, rather than the whole set, you’ll want the link just above to see what’s coming ‘next issue’, and then Hachette’s main website to order singles and/or back issues.

Freshly received from Hachette:


Dear Warhammer 40,000: Conquest subscriber,

We are delighted to let you know that on the 29th of August Warhammer 40,000: Conquest will be launching nationally!

As a valued test subscriber, we will be re-activating your subscription from issue 1 and will be sending you the first 3 issues free of charge. This means that you don't need to subscribe again once the new website is live.

Waiting for details of if they have a premium subscription, and if so, what benefits this has (they mentioned possibilities of terrain or exclusive models in the questionnaire).

Yep, just received that as well. Looks like it is finally happening.

Got the e-mail as well, not sure if I'm going to stick with it long term (as I already have two ongoing partwork subs and there are another couple of them probably starting soon that also look interesting), but figure I'll at least get the 3 free issues and see what the mag is like before deciding. At least this is one where even if you cancel part way through the stuff you get is still useful, unlike the ones where you build something over so many issues.

Will be interested to see if the paints are still the full paint pots or whether that was just for the trial run to avoid the need to have to make up special batches of paint in a different pot, as that definitely helps towards the value.

I got my mail as well. I won't be pleased if the paints end up as the 3ml mini pots after signing up with them advertising full sized pots.

I assume they'll start to re-advertise the product. If things have changed from the trial run, we'll see it then. Enough time to cancel if we're not happy.

Got my Email saying I'll have 3 free issues starting 29th. I'm unreasonably pleased by this good news, i don't often get free stuff (that I actually want) I can't wait!

Official (re)Announcement:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/08/20/7th-aug-coming-soon-warhammer-40000-conquest/

Yeah happy with the free issues, and the ability to seemingly buy single issues down the road if I cancel (depends what further issues have - no need for Primaris, I do have Deathguard but the models so far are repeats for me. Will take them anyway though ☺️).

I'm a bit surprised that the 'launch' is at such short notice (only 9 days) since that doesn't seem to give retailers much notice to put in orders

Unless I guess the 'launch' is actually the pre-order date and the first issue being delivered is a month later

Same here, put a real smile on my miserable face. It's all about the little victories

This has been on the pre-order system available for retailers for 3-4 weeks now, this is just the announcement to the consumers that it will be available.

" Over the course of the series, subscribers will receive all of the models, tools, paints and paintbrushes you require to create two sizeable armies – Space Marines and Death Guard – that are ready to take to the battlefields of the 41st Millennium. "

Looks like there will only be SM and DG models, too bad I don't collect those :(
