I cancelled my sub today. dont need issues with pots of wash or any more of the regular troops/vehicles etc. Just going to keep an eye out for any decent character issues and buy them individually. got a pre order in for issue 8 for the librarian.

The only doubles left to come are the Reivers now.
But yeah if you have stuff already it’s only semi worth it

We are getting two lots of 5 cultists further down the line, although they could potentially be combined onto a single issue.

I'd expect that they'll give us the contents of Know No Fear soon - those models are all over eBay so not especially high value, but very useful for new players to build the armies up to a decent size and start playing ~1000pts games.

They can save the rest of the Dark Imperium sprues for later down the line.

Ah I was thinking 10 cultists from the Dark Vengeance which are all different, but you may be right yeah..

I think yeah it will soon be the Know No Fear and DI stuff, whether it’s the ones from one first then other or mixing up, seen as much crosses over anyway.
Then ETB remaining bits..

Then all those high cost characters and vehicles all a bit later.

The Dark Vengence cultists are mixed in with other chaos and space marine parts on the spru which is why they only released the 5 model kit for general release so I can’t see them redoing the spru at this time for conquest.

Do we know for certain that the Blight Hauler is in issue 10?

I only ask as I get specific issues ordered into my local newsagents and I need 3 of the things!

They could use that very sprue.

I don't game so have no need for big units. I'm just looking for nice sculpts to convert/paint.

It has Death Wing Terminators, Raven wing bike squad, hellbrute and choasen chaos marines that were not shown as part of the Conquest contents and would be very unlikely to be as they don’t fit the theme.

Each issue is based around what’s in it, so a mix wouldn’t work, but also there’s lots irrelevant on that sprue from the Conquest contents.

Aeneades, yeah I forgot that sprue is a mix one. Are the cultists the same in the 5 box? If not, then I don’t have them so that’s great.

On that note, the Dark Imperium stuff would need to be recut too wouldn’t it?

Fair enough, that was my intention for the Primaris too..
But now..

Unfortunately the 5 man cultist box is 5 of the models from Dark Vengence sprue.

Yeah, I bought some PW from someone way back, and got the 20 from DI and 6 ETB. Then I was getting four more so looked through them all as to which would be easy to convert as I dislike doubles, I had a list of what to do to most and how easy it would be somewhere. The doctor coat guy was most difficult I believe..

And no btw,
But also no actual confirmation of it going over.
(Though it is, as they’ve started putting the prices on, but they haven’t announced it that I’ve seen anyway)

Ok thanks, guess we'll have to wait a bit longer (if it ever does come over here)

Have to figure out conversions for these too now :(

We know Blight Hauler and poxwalkers are in issues 9 and 10 (from the conquest tutorial video) but won't know which order till the back of next weeks issue which will show which one is in issue 9.

Guys I need a bit of advice

I know there has been 5 or 6 issues of Coquest out already. I got issue 2 and 4 from the local GW store but I was not aware that if you subscribe and get them delivered regularly you get quite a bit of freebies like tools and paints.

Question is - if I subscribe now, will I start getting issues from number 1 and so on and at the same time I'll be getting all the free stuff as advertised? Or will they start sending me the magazines from the current, newest magazine?

I live in UK so hope any other UK players might help me out here

Just passed issue 6 in a shop... is it really just the same models as issue 2?

Yup. Next issue is, I think, the Librarian. Or the washes. One of the two!

Where can I find what is in the issues from 5 onward including paints etc? The official website just lists first 4

There isn't a full list but info will put up here as folk get it, they tend to talk about whats coming next in the conquest videos on facebook/youtube

5 was the LE Primeris Lieutenant
6 another set of the 3 easy build Plague Marines
7 2 big pots of wash (agrax and nuln oil)
8 Primeris Librarian

these are set as we've seen the printed stuff/back of the previous issue

9 another set of the 6 easy build pox walkers
10 Myphitic Blighthauler

These two are probably in this order but as they've only been mentioned there's a chance they could be the other way round

Looking on the subscription page it looks like you start with issue 1, my guess is you'd get delivery 1 (1&2) delivery 2 (3,4,5 & 6) at once then kick into the standard schedule from issue 7 onwards of 4 mags a month in a single package

https://hachettepartworks.com/hachettesubscriptions/SecureFormWithSummary/07411#_ga=2.229382878.359126651.1539540343-980124998.1528632009&_gac=1.153299212.1539540343.EAIaIQobChMIm4iL2MKG3gIVRrTtCh00vA2uEAAYASAAEgJwM_D_BwE

but to be sure I think your best bet is to contact them either by phone or email

https://www.warhammer40000conquest.com/contact/

Thanks for the info. I'll get in touch with the and clarify what options do I have

What bothers me is that it seems that there are the same units included in different issues and some issues just include paints. I thought that all issues will include different minis and a paint as well. Seems that GW is not that generous after all

there is some duplication but not a huge amount, what you'll eventually have is shown above (you should be able to see what they are with a bit of squinting)

on and this chap breaks down a rough estimate of the savings

https://vincentknotley.wordpress.com/2018/08/22/warhammer-40000-conquests-rumoured-value/

for the minis alone he says

For the grand total here, based on the estimates I’ve shown above, Warhammer 40,000: Conquest in miniatures alone is worth £876. That… that’s a lot of money. A lot of saving too! If you take on the premium subscription you save £131 and if you go for the basic subscription you save a whopping £251!

so if you want both armies and the terrain it's smart buy, with the paints, brushes, dice and card mats adding value to an extent (if you need/want them), the premium subscription doesn't seem worth the extra spend if you've got any gaming experience (especially as we don't know all of whats in it)

If you compare the price of the entire magazine range with the cost of buying them from GW, and to a lesser extent online retailers, you are getting a hefty discount. It's only a real bargain though if you are interested in having everything shown on the poster above.

I know I'd rather pay £7.99 than £22.50 for a Primaris Librarian for example.

As issues 1 - 4 were in the shops, I believe you may be able to start your sub from issue 5 onwards. When you subscribe with Hachette, you will be able to choose your starting issue from the drop down menus.

As for repeat minis, there are alternate colour schemes (initially for Death Guard) listed in the magazines or try some arm swaps. I've been buying bits from eBay so I have some Reivers with bolt carbines and alternate arms on the Intercessors.

I would probably have gone for the premium option if they had said what was actually in it, not bothered about "mystery boxes" you pay for up front

And exactly that is why I am still hesitating.
As the other guys mentioned and pointed it is a great saving, you get a lot of extras and freebies, BUT....do I really want to get random minis from an army which does not interest me or is just boring (Primaris Marines). I do like Death Guard and was thinking of collecting them, even for a small force battles or such, but paying for something which would be totally of no use for me......

Be aware if you subscribe of the small print which is in the letter they mail you.

They mail out binders at intervals, at extra cost , and there will be 'special issues' with no specified price in addition to regular issues, so the cost saving may not be accurate.

Yes you can return unwanted mailings, but this was enough for me to decide I really cannot be bothered as the company does not have a great reputation dealing with returns and billing.

Stuff I don't want is going back, this is on DD not a credit card so push comes to shove I control it, not them

I'm pretty sure when push comes to shove on a credit card you still control it too. Even if there are "misunderstandings" from their billing department, you can complain to Visa (or more likely the bank that's issuing your Visa) that you're being defrauded. I had to resort to this with a small company once. I had my money back in less than 24hrs. It might be a lot more difficult if you're disputing a charge with a big guy like Amazon or someone like that. Hachette, IDK, logically it should be easy, but in practice might be a bit of a bitc*.

A few pages back some people were saying that this is long term value only, not short term. I'm of the opposite view. I don't really want most of the stuff on offer, a few DG minis is ok, but if you don't specifically want Marines + DG, and you aren't planning to re-sell your unwanted stuff, I think there's little value overall, and personally I'm dropping out after the Librarian (as an early sub I got 4 free issues, so unsubbing at issue 7 gives me a lot more value than seeing this thing out until the end).

Id say that’s precisely why they said it’s long term value, as you’d get two armies over the course of it etc etc.
But only good value IF you want it, there is if course no value if you’re buying things you don’t want (I also think resale at that point won’t be a viable option, as saturation may make a lot of the stuff in this worth less than £8.. except characters and clam shells and big stuff and such.

Bear in mind if you unsubscribe when you receive 7-10, their clause of 28 day cancelling may mean you’d be on track for receiving 11-14 too..
(Though perhaps that’s when the control of your DD comes in and prevents it, I’m not sure what Hachette are like in this regard).

When I have cancelled with them before via webform it has always been processed with 24 hours.

I'd say the subscription is of absolutely no use to you.

Keep an eye on this thread, see what is coming in the next couple of issues and if you're interested in any, hop to the Hachette or Forbidden Planet websites and order individual issues.

I picked up an extra Lt Calsius via Forbidden Planet.

Yep fair point. The only value is in the plastic, and only then if you want all the plastic (I don't. I'll use some of the paint, but even then, I'm still getting dupes of stuff that I already have, for the most part). The "Magazine" such as it is is of very limited value to anyone. Even total beginners can get a lot more, for free, just by logging onto Dakka or a similar site. I didn't know that they planned to send out binders, at additional expense to me, to store this almost valueless pile of cardboard. "Here, buy some boxes, to store stuff you don't need or want" . Thanks for letting me know about the cancellation period. Looks like I'll have to get onto them sooner rather than later (And definitely before they send me any binders
