Black Knight Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Near the end of the subscription if you were waiting for Hachette to restock, when they ran out of magazines due to the huge demand, the restock was mostly in grey, I think it comes down to whatever GW has in stock. The coloured plastic was an experiment to get non collectors to take the plunge if they thought they could play the games without the time commitment of painting. Maybe they gave up on it or in the current situation they just can't get the colour addative? Elzender 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Do you mean loging into the site with it? Or are you waiting for the email with it? Â I can't even log into the site and haven't been able to get past the initial page even when I get in, for the last few months. They updated about 4 months ago and it hasn't worked properly since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noserenda Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The plastic colour is just a dye, any quality difference is entirely in your own head, or possibly a wildly unlikely series of duff casts? Karhedron, Brother Captain Arkley and Sword Brother Adelard 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpoon Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Anyone having issues registering their subscription number? Yep. Same issue.  They also imported my old address for the delivery address for the sub (even though I entered my new one when I placed my order). Looks like Hachette's high quality systems have thoroughly improved! /s  Edit: Managed to log into my account via my phone this morning. It was showing my new subscription in there but when I click on it, it shows no further information. Edited March 5, 2021 by MrSpoon Brother Captain Arkley 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Oh and commiseration to anyone that have to build those Flayed ones, thats another level above my Rustalkers there in terms of thin and pointy. Don't worry, I think we still hold that award due to Sterylizors. I'm dreading painting those fragile little beasties. Black Knight 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Subbed to this. The first delivery at least is great value, might even stay for the second if it has the captain. Can't say after that though. £9 a week could be better spent on other hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone willing to ship me the issue with the captain when it drops? you might be able to order internationally from Forbidden Planet if they end up stocking it.   That's definitely a "wait and see situation" - Although Forbidden Planet are almost certain to stock it, they are also one of a large number of UK retailers who have stopped shipping abroad since Brexit.

Black Knight Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) I was just looking at the sprues to try to see which ones might be split into seperate issues, thought I would leave my musings here.  Space Marines  Primaris Firestrike Servo-turret(Small Sprue x2)  Two small sprues that could be split but I do not see it being in multiple issues. Source: Games Workshop  Primaris Invader ATV(Medium Sprue x2)  Two medium sprues that could be split but I do not see it being in multiple issues. There is a small chance but there is so much in the collection I cannot see these taking two issues, although in Conquest the bikes were split. Source: Games Workshop  Primaris Lieutenant from Indomitus(Small Sprue)  In issue one. Source: Games Workshop  Primaris Librarian in Phobos Armour(Small Sprue)  Single issue for sure. Source: Games Workshop  Marneus Calgar with Victrix Honour Guard(Small Sprue x2)  Could be split but I don't think it will. Source: Games Workshop  Primaris Assault Intercessors(Medium Sprue x2)  I am assuming these will be the ones from Indomitus, it would be nice to have the full kit but I really don't think it will be(Please give a shout if you know differently). With two of the same sprue, expect these to be over two issues. Source: Goonhammer.com  Primaris Assault Intercessors from Paint Set(Medium Sprue)  Single issue item, usually a filler between some big releases. Source: Games Workshop  Outriders(Medium Sprue + Small Sprue)  They could snap off the thrid biker and have two in one issue and a the final one in a later issue. Source: Games Workshop  Subscription exclusinve Primaris Captain(Small Sprue?)  So far they have always stuck this model on the 5th issue. Something to get you to subscribe to a second delivery.  Start Collecting! Vanguard Space Marines(Large Sprue + Medium x2)  There is a high likelyhood that all three of these sprues will have their own issue.  The large sprue holds the Lt., Eliminator Sgt., Suppressor Sgt., Infiltrator Sgt., Helix Adept, Infiltrator x2.  The two medium sprues both hold Infiltrator x3, Suppressor, Eliminator. Source: Games Workshop  Roboute Guilliman(Small Sprue x3)  This model will probably be the last issue/two issue finale to send off the subscription? Source: Games Workshop  Easy to Build Primaris Aggressors()  These were one issue in Conquest. The tactical rocks are there in the picture, so it looks like it is the return of the EtoB.

Black Knight Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) ADEPTUS MECHANICUS  Kataphron Breachers(Medium Sprue x3)  Admech are a new army but alot of sets are split into three seperate sprues. I want these to all be in one issue but I see it being 2 + 1. There is hope. Source: Games Workshop  Skitarii Rangers(Medium Sprue x3)  Again three seperate sprues but I believe these have to be in a single issue. You cannot split them into 2x5. Source: Games Workshop  Tech-Priest Enginseer(Small Sprue)  Source: Games Workshop  Tech-Priest Dominus(Small Sprue x2)  Two sprues but this should be a single issue. Source: Games Workshop  Sisters of Battle  All the models for this army are from the Army Set so there will prbably be alot of mixing and matching in the issues. There are four sprues, one large, two medium and a small for the Canoness.  Canoness comes on her own small sprue.  There is a large sprue that holds the Penitent Engine, Seraphim Superior, Arco-Flagellant, Repentia Superior, Repentia x2 and Battle Sister x4.  Two medium sprues both hold Saphim x2, Battle Sister x2, Arco-flagellant and a Repentia.  Source: Games Workshop Edited March 6, 2021 by Black_Knight Viridia and Karhedron 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Shepherd Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I can see some of the splits being based on value not sprue size, characters as you said are the obvious ones  Bobby G will be over 2 or 3 issues I reckon, and Calgar could be a separate issue to his bodyguards  The issues with one large Sisters sprue will be good value firestorm40k 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halandaar Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I really want full Kataphrons for 8.99 Me too!

waaaaghlord Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The issue with how they split things is less about value and more about logistics. The Kataphron are organised as three smaller frames to fit in a smaller box, but it's a single tool that produces one large sprue. For a boxed GW release that gets snapped into three and popped into the box. The logistics of splitting a frame and making sure the exact same sections are bundled with the correct magazines, magnified if there's going to be any lag between production on ones coming with parts of that full frame? Storing parts of a kit for months waiting for that next magazine to be printed? The Kataphron will be on a single mag. The Outriders will be on a single mag. Hachette have never split anything that comes as a single piece out of the tool between multiple issues as far as I'm aware, can't see them starting now Karhedron and Dark Shepherd 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJP Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) I definitely think it's unlikely they will split the Outriders either. The small secondary sprue includes a bunch of parts for the 2 bikes on the bigger sprue, so splitting them would lead to a bunch of incomplete models.Got to agree with the comments by waaaaghlord on this.I reckon one of the easiest ways to start working out some of the splits is to start figuring out the terrain. Once we knock those out of the running, we can figure out how many issues are left, which will give a better idea on splits, especially when we take into account the inevitable paint only issues.From a quick glance at the terrain, I think we can safely guess3 x Armoured Containers = 3 Issues2 x Haemotrope Reactors = 2 IssuesThe ruins are these kits:Â https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Battlezone-Manufactorum-Sub-cloister-and-Storage-Fane-2020 and those are big sprues, so that's going to be 4 issues in total. (2 sets of 2 sprues each) The pipe sets appear to be the same ones from Conquest so that's going to be another 2 issues for those (2 sets as there are two of the "console"/battery thingies on show)That's a total of 11 issues of scenery.

Jings Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I think you guys are crazy for thinking Skitarii, Kataphrons etc. Will be one issue releases. The Easy Build mobopose stuff sure, but AFAIK Conquest never released a MPPK that RRPs at over £20 in a single issue and I can't see them doing it here. Best case here is to keeping an eye out for the two sprue issues and going for that one imo.  Some serious good value regardless tho. You can get a solid 1K list of sisters from that set + doubles Edited March 7, 2021 by Jings painting.for.my.sanity and Halandaar 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
