If hachette delivers to some country doesn't mean they will deliver it to other.

And bookshops selling in German isn't much help for people living in Finland. Going to German is more expensive than the GW models would be straight from GW...

And so far haven't found any EU based store that sells magazines internationally either.

edit: oh and shipping fees are least issues from forbidden planets now. They have flat out stopped selling internationally.

here you needed to order Conquest from Germany anyway so I don't expect it to be much different now
and regarding savings, there were only some issues really worth it while a full sub to the get everything only if there were 2 people starting from scratch

I'm in for the Premium.

I couldn't back Premium, £160 is a lot and frankly +£8 per payment is a lot. I can stomach a monthly hit of £36 and backed on that basis, £44 however takes it over the line IMHO. There will also be hidden costs, books etc as with Conquest, but by and large I didn't mind what I got for those.

Premium is better than for Conquest where you got cardboard boxes and card tokens and paid through the nose for them. At face value the add ons look OK, they are a better price than GW retail, similar to internet retail prices, but for £160 at the same rates you could get models you want from factions you want, rather than what you get here.
I will eat my words if the square graphics are actually stand ins for Codexes but I really doubt there are. I frankly expected Death Guard and Space Marines codexes to be two of the add ons for Conquest. But6 it was not to be.

I'm more for the building and painting than gaming and as I have none of the add ons as an army and I'm mortgage free, I'm fortunate enough to be in a good position. Once I'm done, they'll likely end up on eBay. Apart from the Orks. Being Praetorian mad, I'm fixated on kitting then out with either Victoria Lamb or Curious Constructs Ogre pith helmets for a Blood Axe Kill Team.

As for the hidden costs from Conquest, I took those on but there was ample opportunity to opt out if a buyer didn't want them.

Personally, I was quite happy with the final Painting Silver Templars add on. So much so that I picked up a second set when Hachette added them to the website for general purchase.

I certainly didn't Premium for Conquest.

I didn't think of and therefore missed getting a second Painting Silver Templars box on the website. Damn. That was good value for the paints and bonus proper kit intercessors.

It was only up for a couple of weeks before Conquest was taken off the website.

I did revive the Conquest thread from the depths to announce it. I'm sure the gougers are now listing their purchases on eBay for £100+ right now.

I don't see the Judiciar, Blade Guard Ancient or push-fit Eradicators anywhere in that full pic.

Its time I kept an eye out for the Age of Sigmar painting pizza box and what it contains. I haven't bought into that campaign, bar a single copy of issue one. I have enough undead minis for my Vampire Counts and dont need anything else.

A little bit painful being stung for £125 to get super exclusive plastic sisters - now £36 on cherry-picked issues.

Anyone else having trouble with the subscription number? I subscribed, and got sent an email confirming my subscription, but it didn't have the 13 digit number I need to register my account.

I contacted support through the system on the website, and they replied today... But I need to login to the account I don't have to see the reply...

Subscription number usually comes a little later from experience.

I always said they were going to end up in a Start Collecting/other beginner program in the future and here we are.

Yeah, I really want more poses for my Bloody Rose, kitbashing and converting differing load outs will give the illusion of variety.
My retributors need some more variance.

Have done the same with all of my variants of Tactics(intercessors/hellblasters)and want to work on more Phobos.

What really kills this is the poverty of poses for sisters superior. You get one pose in the Battle sisters box, for all battle sisters including Dominion and Celestian squads. Its a good pose, but when spammed really grates. You can get a second pose from the Retributor boxset, which should be swapped in for some variety for the Battle sisters. Now we see how much difference an additional pose makes, between three poses and helm backpack and wargear options you get just enough variety to matter. Could still be better but its passable.

If you havent subscribed really make sure you dont miss this issue when it drops.

I'm considering having my buddy in jolly old englund pick a couple up fore when they release....or GW could just allow others to enjoy!

Well the sister starter set was still nice discount. And came with nice cover. If you are looking at discounts never buy anything straight away.

Sorry if I've missed it but I can't see when this starts either on here or on the hachette site?

If Imperium is like Conquest and Mortal Realms, it may not be starting yet.

There may be a limited store release in a small area and those of us who have subscribed will receive an email stating that the part works will be starting later and thanking us for taking part in the trial run.


At present, Imperium is not listed on the main Hachette site and Forbidden Planet do not have any issues listed on advance order.

Slightly related, I just saw that Mortal Realms was now available to order in France... I had missed that. I went for Premium this time.

Thanks, when you say trial run, you get the first few issues then? or are they just gauging interest?
I might sign up just for the first couple of issues anyway

Trials are usually 4 issues, and if you then subscribe fully you get them again for free.

I’ve just had my confirmation email in, which says which issues of the magazines will include the ‘premium’ extras (the chaos, tau etc).
It will be issued 15, 33, 51 and 69.

Premium is a good deal for Mortal Realms. You get about double what you pay in.

https://www.fauxhammer.com/featured/mortal-realms-magazine-contents-list-issues-1-80/

So, you’ll be paying £160 across the series and the value of the models is £307.50 So you’re actually saving £147.50.

They have it better on the continent where it’s only 1.50€ extra per issue! But it is about time people outside of the UK got some decent discount on Games Workshop products

Now I dont know the Euro prices and if the discounts hold, so you should check that for yourself. Contents will be similar though.

Well of course not. It's modern GW. Kitbashing ist verboten!!!

If this follows the Conquest and Mortal Realms? Germany, Spain and Australia will get this in turn. Everyone else? Tough luck, Buster.

It's not a stretch for one of the US partwork companies to sublicence this in the US from Hachette and GW. Due to its popularity it might be a good idea for one to do so. US customers might want to chance it and write to them.

I can’t remember where I saw it, nor can I really confirm I didn’t imagine it (been having vivid dreams recently), but I do recall a Trial Confirmation type email, shared by someone State side.

It was this very thread! Though sourced from Reddit, so maybe salt at the ready?

Yeah I remember that picture coming up.
To me it didn’t look real. Though I can’t fathom why someone would go to all that trouble typing up and printing it off.

But all correspondence from Hachette I’ve received didn’t look like that and was much better formatting etc.
and just the random line of US at the bottom seems suspect like they were making a point.
But who knows.

The trial happens in stores with actual issues.
And all the signing up gauges the interest (without these people receiving anything).
Then when it goes live, you receive the mentioned free issues.
Though I believe for MR it was only 1-3 that were free.

Its really hard to find any information that there was a 4 issue trial run of Conquest in America last year during June/July, but I'll post what little I've found though since some people might be interested.

Here's a few Reddit posts from people who found them in stores, 2nd guy was the one who posted that letter and the 3rd guy filled it out and sent it back and received the 40k art book as a free gift.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/h7745z/warhammer_40k_conquest_in_the_us/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/kc0t3u/found_this_in_my_us_copy_of_warhammer_conquest/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/ldfcfx/warhammer_conquest_magazine_gift_finally_arrived/

The price sticker on the first Reddit post lead me to Graham Crackers Comics who are a chain store with 12 locations in the USA. They made a Facebook post for all 4 issues and mention that they're available to buy at their mid-west locations.

Don't know if the link works (feth i hate Facebook.) but if you search for graham crackers comics warhammer conquest you can easily find rest of the pictures.
https://www.facebook.com/search/photos/?q=graham%20crackers%20comics%20warhammer%20conquest




Interestingly in their Facebook images of the magazine there are some noticeable differences compared to the UK version.

There's no price printed in the top right corner of the magazine, i think they started doing this with the later non-english versions of Conquest.

There's an extra yellow bar along the top and it looks like the books might be 1-2 cm taller.

There's no holes punched into the books so they can't fit in binders.

The first issue of conquest came attached to cardboard with the book and models on different sides whilst in this one they're both in the same bag.

The plastic bags are also different from the ones I've got with Conquest and Mortal Realms.

The fact that a real store was selling them makes me think it was legit trial run. The address that's on the letter also leads to a house in Illinois that's registered to a small 2 man company called Titan Publishing, they we're probably contracted by Hatchette and that would explain the sloppiness of the form letter.

Yeah that all makes sense.
Interesting at the difference of magazine with no hole punch etc.
I don’t think the magazine is taller, if you take away the yellow bar then to me it looks more squat than usual.

I will note, that not all issues had the cardboard. Only the initial newsagent run. So subs didn’t get that.
Though that doesn’t help with these being in store.

The rest of the differences I think is easily answered by your research.
Different company producing them.
Maybe this Titan were just sent all the files and did printing themselves, thus the differences.

North America failed to join the rest of the world and doesn't use standard A4 paper - which I believe is the format Conquest was printed on.

Actually it is, yeah, they use Letter and Legal, which are slightly smaller, and then slightly larger than A4, respectively.

Yes. A4 paper is extremely hard to find in North America. And there's no such thing as lever-arch files here. People use D-ring folders (three hole, and different spacing to international three-hole punch) for card collections and even the very best run a small risk of pinching the bottom page under the rings - something that's not even possible with a lever-arch.

The standard paper size here is "Letter": 8-1/2 by 11. That's inches - and it's not even exactly that size. The other common paper size in copiers is "Legal" - 8.5 x17. One major disadvantage compared to A4 and A3 pages is that you can't resize documents with a copier/printer without leaving a lot of white space (or black space if you like wasting toner).

Well I just signed up for standard version of this - its the final straw has made me succumb to collecting an Ultramarines, all Primaris army.

If your going loyalist go the full hog and get the most loyaly loyalists you can get!
