Warhammer 40,000: Imperium is a new way to learn about the worlds of Warhammer 40,000. The heart of the Warhammer 40,000 hobby is collecting, assembling and painting stunning miniatures before taking them to battle on the tabletop. Every issue of Imperium includes amazing models, brushes or paints, with helpful guides on how to use them.

 

In glorious celebration of the now announced new Warhammer 40k Partworks. Please see the previous thread to see the previous partworks released by Hachette. The subscription will be 80 issues in length and include a ton of models(Primaris, Sisters of Battle, Adeptus Mechanicus and Necrons), paints and hobby supplies.

Usually they will allow you to buy specific issues from the publisher. You have to pay postage for these single deliveries but you will be saving on issues that you do not want. Postage currently is £1.99, with a faster next day option for £4.99.  If you pay over £25 and £50 respectively, postage is free but currently the chance of you getting multiple issues before they sell out is very low.

 

There is also an online/physical shop called Forbidden Planet that sells them individually. Currently they have not updated their site to include the new issues. Also please be aware that they currently do not post to Europe due to the clusterhttp://bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/emoticons/censored.gif that is The UK and Europe customs relationship.

 

Forbiddenplanet.com

 

Also ask your local Paper Merchant, I am currently getting extras from mine by simply asking for it. Service may vary but there are plenty of good Merchants out there that will order them in for you at no extra cost for delivery.

 

Darksphere, a FLGS that is based in London also has a website to order to anywhere in the UK, is also selling single issues.

 

Goblin Trader, a Spanish based FLGS? Is selling issues at 9.99Euros.

 

buymagsdirect.co.im, late to the party(Just found at the end of the subscription) but they seem to be worth a try.

[Axineton]

Great stuff BK I’ll be watching this thread closely like the conquest thread. 

[Black Knight]

Issue 4 now has a price and a blank page.

[Black Knight]

A wild landing page has been spotted, but its blank so far, or maybe its an assassin.

[Black Knight]

Thanks to Axineton we may now have a release date, although the pricing seems abit wierd.

 

[Halandaar]

Thanks to Axineton we may now have a release date, although the pricing seems abit wierd.

 

In a roundabout sort of way, this confirms the pricing at £2.99 for issue one. The price is like that because newsstand.co.uk charges £1.90 for delivery; see this listing for White Dwarf (which we know has a cover price of £5.99) priced at £7.89 "including p&p"

[Black Knight]

If they are adding their magazine to the sellers systems, it can't be long now for an announcement. Sky Potato may have also found a hint at the Premium being a thing again.

 

 

 

Sky Potato on the rumor thead: Just had to email Hachette customer services about some missing issues of Conquest I ordered a few weeks ago. One of the drop down boxes for the customer services email was to select your collection. There were two options for Warhammer: Imperium and Warhammer: Imperium Premium

[Dark Shepherd]

Would they do a premium option for a localised trial run? Did they do that before?

[Hfran Morkai]

*Desire to know more intensifies*

[Halandaar]

Would they do a premium option for a localised trial run? Did they do that before?

Premium is only an option if you subscribe direct with Hachette, and even if you do that as soon as it's announced you don't actually get charged or receive any product until the full launch anyway. The trial run doesn't interact with premium in any way because it's non-direct.

[MrSpoon]

I've done some digging into the source code for the website. You can see that the first issue is 2.99, then 5.99, followed by 8.99 for 3 and 4. 

 

The collection is called "Warhammer 40,000: Imperium Premium" and the magazine is called "Warhammer 40,000: Imperium  Issue X"

 

For those interested to see the details just follow blank links link at the top (https://hachettepartworks.com/en-en/warhammer-40000-imperium/l1tgy001/) and then view the source code.  You can just increment the number to see the various pages. When you get to number 5 though it falls over and takes you to a generic Hachette page. 

 

EDIT: Added a screen grab

 

Edited February 9, 2021 by MrSpoon

[Dark Shepherd]

Excellent work

[Grotsmasha]

So potentially, a permanent, Annually reoccurring subscription focused on alternate Factions. Like Imperium this year, Xenos, or Chaos next? I'm in.

[MrSpoon]

It appears the price of the first issues has increased to 4.99 (Screen cap from the code on the Hachette website)

 

 

 

Checked no.2,3 and 4 too. 

2 - £7.99

3,4 - £10.99

 

 

Edit 2: The title of the collection has changed from Warhammer 40,000: Imperium Premium to just Warhammer 40,000: Imperium

Well that's... interesting. Especially in the context that while that looks like a hefty increase versus Conquest and Mortal Realms, it's only a modest increase on the price of Legends (which was the collection of hardback Black Library books).

 

If this turned out to not be models at all, but a new book collection with stuff focused on the newer narrative (i.e. the Dark Imperium), that would help explain the name and the pricing, and also feel completely reasonable and feasible, if also disappointing (personally).

Hmm, that price does seem to tally with the price of the Warhammer 40k Legends book part works. The name 'Imperium' did suggest to me that this partwork could be focused on the setting rather than miniatures per se. I'd rather have the cheap miniatures if I'm honest :lol:

 

Unless... They've changed the prices in the code to keep snoopers like us from getting closer to the truth??? Hmmm... :D

Are there enough books focused on Dark Imperium for a collection?

 

Last book collection was 80 parts I think

I'm not sure I think there will be a book release, it just looks like a price increase to the sub and a tweak to their naming convention.

It feels like a big increase though, if it is a similar product to Conquest and Mortal Realms. The previously obtained price of £8.99 an issue was already more than both of those, but at least felt reasonable given that Conquest came out 3 years ago at this point.

 

£10.99 an issue would be nearly 40% more and IMO crossing the psychological threshold of £10 per week would make it a much harder sell for what you would assume is the target audience. That price simply makes more sense in the context of a collection of books, given that they were already £9.99 an issue (albeit every 2 weeks) the last time they ran one.

That's fair, I just wanted to point out though that it wasn't my assumption that it was potentially a book sub rather than model one. 

 

Edit: There is always the chance that this is the pricing for the premium version, although I do understand that this would be slightly contradictory given they have removed the premium element of the subscription naming convention.

That could be €15 an issue which would feel rough

Maybe theres slightly more per issue so they make more money but we feel like we're getting more eg €15 an issue but you get a €30 character or equivalent

 

Perceived value (of magazine price increase) could come from price increases in general eg an Impulsor in 2 later issues

It is working fine for me.
