I decided to go for issue 1 and 5. Nothing too inspiring about the rest and I'm not planning another Sigmar army any time soon, so they'll be painting projects.

This is true.
Any GW character for that price is good value really.
But I dunno, I guess it’s just not selling itself to me enough to pull the trigger.
I also don’t want to start the magazine run, as I did the last three for the start bits anyway.

Not sure when this changed, but the premiums seem significantly better now

They do indeed. Effectively £40 a pop so…

Krondys for less than 50%
Gordrakk a little bit less than 50%

And I can’t be bothered to check the others.

I really hope this comes to the US.

The content has changed from the original photo - there is less terrain now, not sure about the rest.

I think they’ve just spaced it out better?

No, they've swapped out one of the duplicated scatter terrain from from Underworlds for a second statue and five more vindicators.

Definitely 1 domicile shell (was 3 now 2), 1 statue added and the 2nd Beastgrave terrain set removed.

Just noticed they are charging €1 postage per issue for Ireland, think I’ll stick to just picking up the issues I want from Easons.

i could lol, some decent savings and im pretty tempted to go premium.

Krondys £95 save £55
Gordrakk £75 saves £35
Troggoth set £78.50 saves £38.50
Grundstok set £80.50 saves £40.50

Some one else is free to work out the percentages!

Not sure if it was there before, but one of the Kruleboyz special ed models is the seventh free gift. Boy with the vulture.

It's a change. The seventh free gift was originally the Citadel Paint holder hexagon thingy.

I'm not in the market as a non-AOS collector/ player but Hachette do seem willing to look at, reassess and play around with the Premium side.

Imperium vs Conquest Premium is a good example. Not that I wouldn't have considered the Conquest boards and cards if they were a cheaper voluntary add on but they certainly didn't shout £160 worth of 'Premium' especially as I don't think they were detailed beforehand.

Can you start with a premium subscription and then drop down to a normal subscription later? I certainly wouldn't mind a Krondys but I'm not keen on the other three..

You can yeah. It's in their FAQ's.

You can also not start your subscription until issue 5 and still get premium. Might be worth picking up the other issues from the shop (if you want them). Or at least the first three as you need to start with issue 4 if you want the free gifts.
Although subscribing seems to get you issue 2 for free so you save the £8 there...

I'm going to do the usual subscribe for £3, get issue 1 & 2 + glue, clippers and then cancel.

It's a nice little bundle of minis to enjoy, small warband of orcs with a leader, useful for all sorts of games.

Issue 6 & 7 are up on forbidden planet. Not sure what's in them, but they're up.

6 is 10 Hobgrotz Slittaz
7 is Corax White and Catachan Flesh

Forbidden Planet have changed the release date of issue 1 to 22nd February.

That's odd. It's definitely out now. Maybe it's to post issues 1+2 together?

I have noticed copies in my local WHSmith and Tesco (Warwickshire) so first issue would seem to be fairly widely available - I bought one for head swaps with 40K figures.

I've seen at least four TV adverts for it tonight, so looks like they are pushing it heavily.

Me too! HOpe there's still one on a shop shelf nearby come Saturday.

Looks like the seventh free gift has been changed to Stormcast Xandria Azurebolt miniature.

According to the link it's still the gutrippa boss. Xandria was the special edition model last time.

I wish this was available In the USA.....

Has a calculation of value / price been done for the whole run, including premium? I'm thinking I may want to just sub to this. For the 40k magazines, which is my preferred universe as far as minis go, I've been buying select issues, but having to keep up with what looks best value has become very tedious over the years, I'm thinking just a full subscription might be the way to go in future.

Considering there's a near year difference from when Imperium started in the UK to when it started in the US, we might still get it.

Fauxhammer did a calculation of the magazine only miniatures last year but there's been a price increase since then and another coming soon so it represents better value if anything. Someone up above has given the values for the premium issues.

I'm like you in thinking that the stress of ordering individual issues through Forbidden Planet isn't worth it, especially with them only putting up a few issues at a time and also selling out quickly.

However, I'm also not completely taken with AoS being a grumpy old man who can't work out why they didn't just keep the Old World as it was. I'm going to pick up the first three issues individually and then make a decision as I think I can still subscribe from issue 4 and get all the goodies.
