People reported that they got issue n°1 in France, but it doesn't seems to be available everywhere yet.

It may well be the same 4 week trial we got in the UK (that was a small region of the country only in stores) and they're apparently having in Spain at the moment,

the full on launch was about 6 months later for us

For those of us who foolishly weren't paying attention (or in my case misread the letter) what's the correct way of cancelling future artbooks?

This is the only art book. The other three specials are apparently hardcover rule book, marine codex and death guard codex.

You can email customer services to ask to be removed from specials and that should be fine but you won’t havs the chance to opt in if you decide that you do want it. The usual process is they send you a letter in the preceding shipment advising what the special will be and giving you the opportunity to opt out.

Anyone know when the next binders are due to be sent out?

No idea, but I am expecting a letter telling me how much they will cost at least a month in advance.

We don’t know that you can’t opt back in if you for now opt out of all.

And the assumed others are technically just wishlisting about being Codex and such. We’ve had nothing from any source yet confirming or alluding.
Though I’m in that camp that I think it will be. Just there’s nothing to suggest it, could be anything.

I am pretty sure they cost £8, so the cost of a magazine.

Was the first binder an opt-out, or was it just included?

Freebie for subscribers, ala the painting handle and stuff.

I have read somewhere they are £8 or £9, can’t remember where, it was somewhere in the faqs I think?

edit - I may be mistaken in assuming there'd be more than one.

Someone in one of the Facebook groups emailed and I’m sure they’d said around now, that was a while back. And we’ve still not heard.
Letter next month I suppose..

Aye, IIRC £8 in the FAQ's.

My first delivery of 2019 arrived yesterday. Good ol Hachette lol

Oh dear social media aren't pleased with the dread being split between two issues

(not helped by hatchet not being clear on it either especially if your a 1st time 40Ker)

Are people annoyed because they wanted £8 dreads though?

That, and some of the promo material showed the full kit (with the missile pod on top).

Ah fair enough. I was gonna say if people were just kicking off because a Partworks is doing what a Partworks does, then they missed the point.

There's a 240-issue partwork starting now that gives you a 1250mm 1:200 scale kit of the Bismark. Funnily enough, all the promo material shows that full kit too.

What's sort of interesting is that's £9 an issue, more than even Conquest, suggesting that a future part-work could have a more expensive price (which would possibly mean more options in what they can include).

Huh= Getting off topic but what sort of deluxe kit that is? Googlign 1:200 bismarc got lots of kits in amazon for about 200-300 euro's so this over 2000£ seems rather expensive. What's so special in that kit to be worth THAT much money?

Suddenly GW games seems cheap

No, the full £40 kit (with the plasma incinerator option & Icarus rocket pod) rather than the £25 Easy To Build version.

Has anyone seen the first Redmeptor issue in the wild at retail yet?

My local WHSmith had 4-5 copies of the preceding issue with Battlefield Accessories on Tue 12/3/19, then nothing at all on Wed 13/3/19. Surely soon?

My work and home Smiths had no issues of the Battlefield Accessoriss (I tried to grab an extra copy with no luck). My work Smiths had one copy of the Redempter 1st part yesterday (They usually display at this branch from Monday but I wasn’t displayed until Wednesday this time).

Should have been this Wed,

but all my locals were sold out by the time I got there after work, which was a first other than the Lord Felthius issue which seemed not to have been sent out in the expected quantities,

so either really popular (not a surprise especially if many thought they'd be getting the full kit), or another insufficient copies problem

There were three copies on my local Asda (Coventry) yesterday.

Forbidden Planet have dispatched mine

It's actually only 140 issues so just over £1200. Still a rip off though, but then that's never (until now) been the point of these partworks. They provide you hobby stuff over time to put together weekly/monthly and spread the cost, but being good value has never been a selling point. The 40K one is weird in that respect. Though many would argue that's only because GW stuff is massively overpriced already.

The Bismark kit comes complete with motorised turrets and other rotating parts and lighting, I think; it's not just a plastic kit.
