It's now available from the Hachette site for general purchase.

Anyone hear anything further about this?

Done a bit of digging looks like it might be getting its trial launch next month. Look at newsstand.co.uk

"Dispatched worldwide"? Can this be true???

Looks like they do, from what's on the site,

looks to be £8.85 inc p&p to the America for this issue

52 issues a year? I’m guessing that’s a standard holding text rather than the actual output. Was Conquest that frequent?

Yes, but they only sold it by weekly allotments for the first handful of issues. After that they ship in 4 magazine blocks for subscribers.

If I can get it here in the states I'd be very, very tempted. Its an easy way to build up my nephews Star Dragons(and for me to Cherrypick, any units before he gets them).

If they include Sororitas, it's an auto subscribe

If its Necrons + other then I might cherry pick issues from Forbidden Planet for my Necron force

If its Necrons + Sisters of Battle I'll have to renounce my "no new army for 2021" resolution.

No it was weekly for the whole run for everyone except subscribers.

Any store who stocked them, and customers in other places who got them ordered in, everything came weekly.
I often wandered into Smiths for an extra issue.


But yeah point being, it’s a £32 (well now £36) drop each month.

The link, she is borken :(

Interestingly it’s now “not found”
But when you search it’s there for 10/3, clicking on it is again not found.

Also as an aside. If you aren’t doing the whole run.
It’s better to subscribe through Hachette, It’ll end up being the first 2/3 issues free (all 4 in Conquest, but I think only 3 for MR).
Coupled with the free gifts, it can be pretty good.
MR I did the first 10 issues and got two sets of gifts.
Conquest I did up to about 20-24 (and then just bought the remaining 9 issues I needed for DG), and got all the gifts for it.

Now, this is the first one I probably won’t do, despite being a Necron and Marine player (which it 90% will be..?).
I don’t need any more stuff for them, maybe a few Primaris, but not the Indomitus or ETB stuff which it’d probably start with..

Though again, conversely if the Premium side of things is good like MR was (four extra starter factions basically), that was cool and enticing, though I didn’t do it, and you’d need to do the whole run anyway..

Search Warhammer. But don’t click Warhammer Imperium when it drops down.
Loads search results and is there..

Not bad.
And only £4.89 for UK posted.
This being a £2.99 issue, I guess that’s their postage costs, £1.90?

Seems it’s sold out? Have put in an email update request

No chance is it sold out, not due to launch until 10/03/2021, I'd assume this is a page created in advance that has no stock allocation attached to it yet so is auto showing as sold out.

I've also put the email request in, so we should get an alert when it is finally allocated stock.

Sold out flag appears to be showing if they have stock in the warehouse or not. It let me place an order for the first issue yesterday even though it said it was sold out.

I managed to snag an order of it yesterday.

Looks like hachette registered the domain warhammer40000imperium.com in September last year it's definitely happening just a question of when.

I placed an order for the first issue earlier, I think that "sold out" just means that it is a pre-order product that they don't yet have stock for. At least, I hope that it means that

Really looking forward to this, can't wait for the reveal of the contents. I'm really hoping that they include models from every Imperium range as it would be nice to get a wide variety of stuff. I'm also hoping that they don't include much Necron stuff if any, they are one of the only 40k races that I don't have much time for.

Edit: I sure am hoping for a lot

You guys ordering through that link you mean?

I’ll preorder during the trial period via Hachette. As they then reward that once your sub starts.

Also, people need to bear in mind that this only appears to be the trial run, so it will be a maximum of 4 issues and likely limited quantities (even subscribing directly through Hachette doesn't guarantee you'll get anything), it will also only be generally available in shops in some limited area of the country.

Yeah I wouldn't rush to order on a pre-view page that isn't quite ready yet as there's every chance its just a placer and might get pulled and orders not honoured or processed or such.

I'm sure when it comes there will be announcements.

Why not both?

I'm not too concerned, I paid with Paypal so I have nothing to lose.

It's odd that the page has been taken down. Hopefully we'll have more info soon!

Not abnormal. Companies often make store pages before they are required and generally speaking if the page isn't looked for people won't find it. When it got spotted and people started making orders they clearly didn't want it used yet so they've set it to hidden. That way when it is needed its all ready to go at their end and they can control when its used by marketing etc...

I was under the impression that no one during the trial got any from Hachette, and just the local newsagents in Yorkshire or wherever it was.
They just collated the numbers of how many subscribed to be interested

That's what happened when I subscribed for Conquest and Mortal Realms.

No issues, no charge and an email thanking me for signing up and with the promise of free issues if I did the same for the actual release.

Personally, I'm interested to see if the Premium is more like Mortal Realms than it was for Conquest.

Yeah, I've subscribed to various trial runs in the past, it seems like pot luck as to whether you receive anything or not, didn't with Conquest, but I have received the issues for other trial runs before.

Usually you aren't charged for them so maybe it's because the other ones have been parts of larger models, which are pretty much useless without the rest of the issues, whereas getting 4 issues worth of GW models for free makes it worth trying to sign up for a bunch of free models, so they're maybe trying to avoid that.

Other trial runs sure.
But specifically Hachette? Or specifically their Ganes Workshop ones?
I think they only do the localized trial.
I haven’t heard of a single person, in any of the Conquest groups, who got them direct during the trial.

A premium in this would 100% be more akin to MR. It’s just not 100% that they’ll do premium this time of course.
It was one of the biggest feedback points that Conquest had premium not being worth it.
Then that came out. They wouldn’t go back to the older type, most likely drop it all together if they didn’t want to do that premium style again rather than do cardboard and such.

I subbed, got the first 3 or 4 issues for free, to my house (from Hachette I presume, since they're the ones I gave my credit card detrails to), got the proceeding issues too, had to resubmit payment details for a DD set up but that's all that was required.

Free issues actually during the trial?
Or you mean post trial you got the sub with the free issues?

It seemed the free starter issues were for people who’d signed up showing interest.

If not, then that’s new info for me as I’ve not seen anyone with that scenario.
