No not for HH I don’t think.
There won’t be another 40k, as it’d be too similar (maybe in years)

But AoS could, and I’d be surprised if didn’t, come after. But I would think not till this one finishes.
Makes sense to start with 40k the big hitter.
If two ran at same time then people might not buy both. But finish one, start another then sure why not.

Thing is, it would be all the same subscriber deals, and paint in issues etc. so who would need all that twice.

Another 40k one that was say, Orks vs Eldar would be different enough I would think - all different models, paint schemes and even rules to some extent. At some point soon subscribing from issue one will stop being an option at which point launching another similar series becomes viable. Because you're selling to two different audiences.

Collectors of the first set wouldn't be the target audience (in the same way people already playing 40K are not the target audience for Conquest).

AoS is the obvious next step - it's almost easier as it has that progressive play mechanic already built in to the rules.

But there's other options. There might be a desire to experiment with say, a Kill Team partwork at a lower price point (£4.99) with a mix of models, cards, paints and scenery.

Or even Lord of the Rings?

Worth noting GW recruited a while ago for a partworks division, which suggests more than just one concurrent project. Although with the series wrapping up I can easily see the next partwork being a complete Horus Heresy novel set.

I'm not subscribing but am picking up a significant number of the issues (and multiples of some)

and i'd do so again depending on what forces are on offer for either AoS or 40K although it would have to be once this one has finished or i'd be having to pick and choose on or the other most weeks

Any other subscriptions would be based on what figures they were doing.

Any pairing of other 40k forces, i would be subed,

AoS i don't really know the forces, but I'm already using oldhammer freemen as PDF. I'm sure i could use most combinations for something.

LotR seems to be less heroic scale, so doesn't fit so well. I'd probably pass on that, or just order the figures i want.

I'd love to see a kill team one though. Build multiple teams , covering each race or chapter.

I can't see the games having enough products to do them.

What could work though is the Citadel/GW collectors series. 40+ years of figures available, some virtually unknown in the wild.

AoS will (if) be Stormcast and Nighthaunt.
Much like this one, it is based on the starter set and the ETB kits.

I doubt we would see another 40k one just as it’s done, and Eldar & Orks to me (or any other faction in fact) seems unlikely as again, they don’t have those cheap throwaway (in GW eyes) sprues such as the above ones.

LoTR coming back round after AoS I could see. It was their first after all See how the GW/Hachette mix take it on..


Deano, what makes you think subscribing will become unavailable soon? I wouldn’t imagine that would happen till near the end of the year (maybe at the three month left point or so?)
The novel series is complete by June, but you can still sub from the beginning at the moment.

Just as a note, the warhammer tv video for 19-20 went up and it’s the last one, apparently. It’s likely it was only ever planned for the first twenty issues, though it’s also possible the Hachette/GW partnership isn’t working out as well as planned.

That's absolute nonsense, people have more than 20 issues. And the video means nothing

They meant the video was the last one...

Anyone else not had their January subscription yet?

Just logged into my account on their website and there's been no update to my account since 14 Dec 18, although it is still showing as active

Mine shows the same however Customer Services has informed me that my latest sub delivery was dispatched on 21 Jan. Allow 7 - 14 days for delivery.

Mine was last charged on 16th January and I've had nothing since early December.

Appeared on my sub for 19th Jan, so I guess on the way.
Though weirdly there are the 4 slots there for each issue like they normally have each time, but they are blank of detail aside from £7.99 for each..

Same here. No activity logged since 14th Dec. I expect it is on the way though. I wouldn’t take the subscription details page as gospel.

I rarely remember to log in and check there, but so far I’ve had no issues and it’s always turned up roughly same time.

Forbidden Planet have restocked issue 19 (Lord Felthius + tainted cohort) if anyone missed out.

Though it isn't showing yet, i expect my latest payment to have been taken yesterday. I have checked when each payment goes out and it's always the last Friday of the month. About 14 days later, it turns up on the doorstep. I expect if others checked their dates against a calendar, they'd see a pattern to the dates too.

I have my order in with forbidden planet for #19, 24, 25, 27, 28. Just hope the hull is all in #27, I've ordered 2 copies.

Have you done preorders from them before?
Do they wait and ship once the last ones out (so when 28 comes, you’ll get all of that?)

Actual arrival dates I can’t really remember, pretty sure it’ll be around now ish.

I read on the official FB page that transfer decals will not be provided. Can you buy these separate?

Edit - and does anyone know which delivery the art book comes with?

Do you mean Forbidden Planet for the pre-orders? If so, they send them as they come in stock.

Hachette are defo behind this month.

2000AD is late, and Conquest has only just been billed.

Ok. Seems odd.
You’d think that they’d send all as one.
Presumably the postage would be better for them then.

It’s £2 for one and £3 for two issues. So if they post two preorders separate then that’s costing th more

First time trying them, i have had an email on Wed saying they have dispatched #19 though. I'm expecting to receive them individually .

On the payments taken, forget the first one, that is connected to sign up, the next is 28 days later, which seems to set the pattern. I would say yours is last day (or last working day?) of a month. I expect it will show up a few days after it's gone through giving 31st Jan as payment date. With the Xmas break seeming to have screwed other deliveries from them up, they could prove me wrong, and change it

2nd Nov isn’t my first, it’s just as far back as my banking app went without logging into the site..

End of August was first, but yeah it’s always been pretty much last day of month, with delivery around the same time (I think).



Well that bodes well for when I do individual issues, just waiting for the next batch (30 onwards) of issues to appear on preorder..

Just logged onto their site, which now states they took payment on 21 Jan 19. Something my bank hasn't picked up on yet...

Lets hope everything turns up this week.

The dates on their site aren’t the same as the dates it will show on your bank.
That’s their processing date.
Each month mine has some out end of month, After when the website shows

I subscribed on the 18th from Issue #1. Can anyone give me an idea as to how long I might have to wait for the first few issues to be delivered?

Within 4 weeks. It has varied for people starting late how soon the first comes..

And you will possibly get issues 1-2 or 1-3, followed by 3-6 or 4-6.
Thus getting you into sync for further months, as they flow 7-10 and every 4 onwards..

It's around 14 days after the payment is taken. My first payment was taken about a week after subscribing. I'd be expecting your delivery first week of Feb. Saying that, i expected my payment to come out Friday 25th, but not showing yet....

I subbed on the first, my account now says sent on 18th, nothing received yet

Any news anywhere of a release schedule for other countries? Not even a whisper of this in Aus yet :(

Unprecedented demand in the UK tied in with the Spanish launch means there has been no opportunity to build up stock for further international releases?

Others threads indicate GW is maxed out meeting the ongoing regular releases.
