I've just gone for the standard subscription, don't fancy those extra bits with the premium.

I'll be keeping the primaris/marines and the terrain, but selling the Death Guard parts on to a chap in my local gaming group. Still, decent value with paint and extra bits!

I am impressed by the complete collection, I already have a sizeable Death Guard collection but will gladly add bits from the Vanilla marines to my Deathwatch and make a home brew chapter for the bits that do not fit in.

£32 odd a month is a reasonable investment for a bit of hobby joy every month.

Reckon we’ll see an AoS version in about a years time.

May be an affordable way to get a Black Coach!

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


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

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.

Hmm, I was in WH Smiths at the weekend and they didn't have it on their system, and i'd expect them too, especially as the did get it during the trial (for stores in the trial location)

I work at smiths. Its on the system as "warhammer 40000 partwork" and the trial run was on under "warhammer 40000 partwork test". Ask them to do a product search for warhammer and it'll come up.

Thanks for that I'll poke them tomorrow and see if they can find it with the extra info

I was thinking they’d probably do AoS later down the line, maybe come back with another Middle Earth as that’s being relaunched as a game too..

It is good to see that full picture, to know where we are heading as before it was so unclear it could have been anything.

I think you can split that picture into 80 pretty much.
Though people need to bear in mind not every issue has miniatures (perhaps for subscribers that’s because 2-4 issues would creat one kit - but then how would they do it for those who buy single issues..)
They said themselves ‘with most issues having new miniatures’

The deluxe version, really would depend on what’s in those other boxes, as the first doesn’t install excitement. As long as the ‘big picture’ is what we get in the standard, not deluxe, then I’m fine.

I agree the paints will probably fall off down the line, which is a shame, as that’s adding good value.
Perhaps halfway another pot of certain colours, as well as all stuff not needed yet but down the line. (Oh and technicals..)

I guess I’ll run my subscription down till at least the 7th delivery to see all the free gifts come, as why not. Though that’s still £184 Of magazines by then, so why not go the whole way once I’m that invested..

I’ve got the first ones free like the others here, so to me that’s looking at your first delivery being 1-4, 4 ETB’s, brush, dice, 6 paints, AND the modelling kit (it said included in first delivery..)

I also grabbed some more of issue 1 for the extra paints, and I suppose models, from the newsstand website. £7 for 3x issue 1 wasn’t bad.

Anyone notice that the FAQ states when the new 'exclusive' miniature is released? Issue 5

"Is any of the content in this collection new?

Games Workshop have created a brand-new Space Marine army for this collection. The Silver Templars will have their own unique colour schemes, armour markings and history which will be developed and expanded with each new issue. There is also an exclusive new miniature included with Issue 05."

Yeah there’s a picture of him on here somewhere, those that got the trial had a picture at the back of issue 4.
He’s probably in that tiny scale whole army view somewhere - quality isn’t great to look though.


Also to add to what I was saying before, those of us getting free issues are really only saving £6 when subscribing, as issues 1 & 2 were £6, issue 3 was free in delivery two (3-6 for £24).
Still it’s good to get something!

Yeah there’s the fella.

I wonder what he'll go for on eBay etc

£7.99 through the Loot Group

Stocks allowing, natch,

Ooh, I like him. Nifty. Wonder if the Silver Templars will match the Silver Skills or Doom Eagles for ease of painting.

I just don’t know what to do with several of the models I don’t want, just use to paint up for fun (like I need off topic things to paint from my armies).
Plague marines I’m all set for my DG, now once we get to some of the stuff in that picture, then we will be fine..

Primaris I have none, but this is in effect a 5th 40k army for me if so..
My study is already full and I’m not sure my wife will let me spill out of there with models..

Oh the dilemma of wanting to collect things..

GW sent out a newsletter with details of Conquest, they do accidentally refer to it as a new monthly magazine though.

In the email title we can forgive them as it says delivered monthly, but then yeah I read the email itself and yeah they do

For those subscribing online, the first parcel will only contain 2 issues and the modelling kit. Subsequent deliveries will contain 4 issues.

Spoiler:

Yeah, I'd happily buy the unique Lieutenant and maybe the Primaris Chaplain & Apothecary at 8 quid each, but those issues are likely to vanish rapidly especially if the places doing singles don't limit purchases per-customer(and in a way that can't be easily circumvented, like payment method and address, rather than just per-transaction) once the scalperscum get wind of this. Hopefully I remember to keep checking and get one ordered in time.

Forbidden Planet have pre orders for the first 12 issues now. Do they ship to Europe? If not, I'm sure someone could stick an order in for you and forward it. I'll do it myself if you're stuck, although I'm still pretty new here so understand if you want a more established member to grab it for you.

The gifts for subscribers have changed on the website:

http://www.warhammer40000conquest.com/

Instead of a folders for the first delivery you get a modelling set (glue and clippers). That seems like a much better incentive.

The mug and art book have disappeared and a brush set has been added. Seems better overall although the poster is a bit naff.

Surprised there is no primer involved. Are they proposing people pant straight onto the plastic?

The previous easy build revell 40k kits did indeed suggest you paint into bare plastic, the idea was to use the paint for colour details, like black bolters etc Fact they've used coloured plastic suggests that's the case this time. Even so if the big picture is accurate I think this is an ambitious product and the fact they've got even one exclusive suggests they think it's going to sell.

As a heads up, I got the promised e-mail for trial run subscribers today about updating payment information, but was unable to link my subscription to my online account. I phoned customer services and they said that this wouldn't actually be possible until the 29th when the magazine goes on sale.

So figured this might save some of you a few minutes and a phone call (unless customer services were incorrect).

Ah thanks for that. I was having the same issue and sent them an email.

Annoyingly I got that email after having opened out another subscription. Obviously I only want the one, are they now going to try and send me two? I am very confused.

Thanks for the heads up on forbidden planet- i just preordered a couple of the first few issues and the Lieutenant issue.

Looks like a really good spread of models, will definitely dip in now an then for an issue.

Forbidden planet have just posted my copies of the first issue.

Oooh mine too

Cheers Tavis, was literally about to ring and thought I would just check here first to see what people were saying.
I hope that doesn’t mean we get ours late though? Shouldn’t as our first delivery is free anyway..

You will only pay once unless you link your original one to a set of bank details.
But the one you are paying for will be standard not with the first one free (that’s for existing subscribers, which you are now not).
I would ring and explain/cancel the new one you just took out.

Did you not get the email last week saying you’d get free bits for being loyal, and that an email (this one) will follow with how to set up payment details again?
2 emails total, to get all the info we needed to resub.

I'm of two minds about this!

On the one hand it gives some paints and tools and guides and might mean that I finally get some actual painting done on models that I don't actually "need/want" for my armies (thus mistakes are not an issue).

On the other its still a decent chunk of money each month and I don't "need" the stuff as such.

It is a really neat idea and I hope it works well! That it basically gives you two full armies and a table full of terrain after around 2 years for a fairly steep discount on the normal purchase price is a great thing


Another part of me is kind of wondering if they'll do a sigmar version
