Fauxhammer now has a list of the first 20 magazines contents.

Termies and Termagants are both split in two parts, sadly

All that really grabs me is the Librarian for space hulk shenanigans.

If the bikes weren't so awful maybe a chaplain on a bike. Thought the Nid models would be a bit more fun? I admit I have been out of loop for a while. Anyway roll on vehicles that can be used for necromunda!

I might grab a couple of biker chaplains, but double issue termagants/terminators kind of ruins the bargain for me. Sure, it's still 1/3 off discount price, and 1/2 off RRP - but that only matters when I plan to buy the thing anyway. £30 to £20 is okay - but if I was never going to spend that money originally? It just isn't enough to suck the cash out my wallet.

At £10 though, I'd buy like 8. Because it would be such a good deal, I'd practically have to! In case I ever want them. I did that with stuff like the Necron Flayed Ones in the last round of magazines.

Online or in the shop?

Any idea how the Terminator sprues are likely to be divvied up between issues? Will the sarge/assault cannon one go first or second?

Online

Edit: they didn't last long

In the shop they have a full restock of issues 1-6. I bought two more Issue 1's as presents, issue 5 for me and issue 6 for BFG conversions.

Forbidden Planet usually keep the first couple of issues in stores for basically the entire run, to entice new customers.

So apparently a Spanish website, Goblintrader, has leaked the entire run of the rest of the magazine: https://www.goblintrader.es/es/27813100-Combat-Patrol?fbclid=IwY2xjawGa2rBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHalgQO-ZTsbqE84DRQ_jBWIb3zoDPNtURujraol7q3tU0wfgyCHKo9XKRw_aem_PUtwJFHyJUL7sROgJKFcWw

This is from the Combat Patrol Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/share/1EtQXByF8E/ )

I have compiled a list using this new information, but bear in mind it's only rumour at this point until Hachette makes it official.

Confirmed issues

Tyranids vs Space Marines



Unconfirmed issues

Eldar/Aeldari vs Chaos Space Marines



Orls vs Squats/Leagues of Votann




Genestealer Cults vs Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum



World Eaters




Subscriber free gifts

At some point I'm sure they'll get more stock and I'll get the order I placed.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be more pt1/pt2 splits of kits rather than having the whole kit on one magazine as previously?

I was thinking just that too... I recently seen a gaunt issue with just a few gaunts and thought this is really poor value.

I think they've shifted to be much more targeted as a hobby book to get people in rather than the first seasons of this magazin which were very much super-discounts which attracted a lot of regular customers to flock to them and soak up all the stock.


Basically instead of being so good that your regular customers buy everything; they want this to be something that reaches more new people. Where its more about collecting the magazine and building up and getting into the game than it is about being a supercheap source of models.


If anything being a little more expensive to turn away already committed fans isn't a bad thing if they can then clean up sales with new customers. Plus any over-stock at the end can be discounted to sell out fast so there shouldn't be anything left over.

The mega-value comes from the character issues, probably because they can't feasibly spread them over multiple issues. From what I've seen, the troops end up about 30% cheaper than GW retail, which is quite close to the realm of discounter retailers.

Hmm... re-reading my post, not quite sure what point I'm trying to make, but oh well

The Atalan Jackals are one issue? Aw yeah...

I was probably going to skip this one too like I did with Stormbringer, but hmm. It's a bit tempting.

Yeah I'm definitely in for a few issues of them. Plans to turn them into rough riders for my Steel Legion.

Its also a super cheap way of bulking out your Ork or Imperial Guard forces with a Boyz and a Guard squad coming in single issues each. Chaos Terminators are a single issue too. That'll be worth grabbing two or three.
gak, even loyalist terminators are a bargain at two issues a squad. I'd be able to get 15 terminators for a only a few dollars more then I could get a single squad of 5.

It'll just be the Leviathan Terminators rather than the proper kit though

Oh good call. I hadn't considered that. Still not a bad deal if you just want the basic loadout though.

So looking down that list...

So for me maybe
12. Terminators x5 pt1
13. Terminators x5 pt2
20. Chaplain on bike
40. Chaos Terminators x5

If its the new one definitively
61. Magus

Then yep
59. Boomdakka Snazzwagon
66. Aberrants x5
75. Field Ordnance Battery x2 pt1
76. Field Ordnance Battery x2 pt2
77. Heavy Weapons Squad x3

Then several
71. Cadian Command Squad x5
78. Atalan Jackals x5
69. Goliath Rockgrinder pt1
70. Goliath Rockgrinder pt2

The old Magus is not on a separate sprue, it's bundled with the Patriarch. So it will definitely be the new one.

I was hoping to get some of the Leagues of Votann miniatures. Very disapointing that it appears its only the Kahl and Hearthguard that are worth it.

I'm tempted by the Farseer, Wraithlord and Wraithguard ones, as thats quite the cost drop!

Farseer issue is up for preorder on issue 21 from Forbidden Planet.

Apparently issue 26 is the wraithlord and 39 is the wraith guard.

Wraith lord magazine is available on forbiddenplanet for £9.99! Grabbed a few myself

Wraithguard one might tickle my pickle. Could do with the Close Combat variants.

Next batch of subscriber issues will come with a extra issue that costs £9.99 unless you opt out by contacting them here https://hachettepartworks.com/contact by telling them you don't want it.

This is a character pack issue that comes with Chief Librarian Tigurius and plastic glue, saving around £18 if you collect Ultramarines, I think he looks a little tricky to convert to other chapters and certainly a challenge for my Space Wolves. I'll get him anyway, I can never have too many toys.

It's not know at this point if the next special issue will be a character if even a model, I was expecting a binder, not that I'm disappointed.

I threw my letter out, so here's a picture via B&C thanks to Fluxeor

Just had to contact Hachette. End of November I got issues 7-10, end of December 15-18, no sign of 11-14. It's bad enough they delayed our issues at the start due to lack of stock, but getting out of sync as a result is quite annoying.

I need to bother them too. I’m two issues behind release on my 2000ad collection, after Royal Mail lost a delivery.

What I didn’t keep track of, is whether I paid for those. Because whilst not the first time Royal Mail screwed up? Hachette has sent out replacement copies. On that one occasion, they were sent out the following month, instead of the latest issues.

Don’t mind being out of sync a bit like that, but I want to make sure I’ve not paid for something I’ve not received, Spesh if it means I might end up paying more when the collection ends.

some of those seem too good to be true. Wraithlord as one issue, 5 chaos terminators, given we currently have things being split between multiple issues.
If they are right I'll be after a couple of issues of each.

Forbidden Planet is now taking pre orders for the early Chaos Marine bits.

Issue 31 is the Dark Apostle for £10. Infantry starts at issue 33.

The Wraithlord deal disappeared pretty quickly, but the Wraith guard are yet to come.

I just hope I notice in time for Issue 33 on. I keep missing the issues I'm interested by a few days, and finding the scalpers have swiped everything.
