Hachette Partworks - Combat Patrol Summary Thread

[Halandaar]

Hi folks, in the spirit of Black Knight's old Conquest and Imperium threads, thought I'd set up one for the current Combat Patrol collection for ease of referencing, as the information in the News & Rumours thread is spread over a lot of pages. I can't promise it'll be up to the standard of previous efforts, but it will hopefully be of some use to you. 

 

I'm just going to throw down the contents that we know so far, and will update the thread as we go to add stuff like the value calculations and whatnot. Please feel free to comment any requested additions to this post and I'll do my best to include them.

 

Below is the list of all issues of Combat Patrol, including their UK release date and the contents of the magazine, along with the savings each issue offers.

 

++DISCLAIMER++ Any saving shown is based on the cost of the magazine (which, aside from issues 01 and 02, is £9.99) and the RRP of like-for-like products available on the Warhammer webstore. If it's not possible to buy the exact variant of the model directly from the webstore, this is noted in the savings calculation. Where kits are spread over multiple issues, I'll give a single saving calculation for the entire kit based on you buying every issue required to assemble the full kit. It is very plausible that better savings are available by buying kits outright from third-party retailers that offer discounts, especially the Space Marine and Tyranid models which are available in bundle sets.

Issues without confirmed contents in the spoiler below:

The rumoured contents of these issues come from the Spanish webstore GoblinTrader.es - while I personally think the order here is surprising (and the kit splits are a bit odd in places), the contents of the first 40K partwork (Conquest) was also leaked by a Spanish site and was broadly correct, so this may well end up being mostly true as well.

They've normally skipped the one between christmas and new year. no idea what'll happen this year mind with it being both those days, but i would think 19 and 20 will be at least a week later than the date there

I'm inclined to agree, which is why I've not bothered projecting the dates further ahead than batch six!

[RWJP]

For anyone using Buymagsdirect.co.im to order individual issues, have you had your Issue 5 shipped? I ordered Issue 5 on 24th September, had the order confirmation and then heard nothing since.

I've left it a few days after the release date of Issue 5 to allow for them to process everything and I will be contacting them on Monday to chase up, but just wanted to see if I was alone in this or if anyone else has experienced similar? In the past I've had excellent experiences with them so it's a surprise to not hear from them like this.

[Halandaar]

Issues 11-14 (which includes the two Terminator Squad issues) are now available to pre-order on Forbidden Planet.

[Domhnall]

I've compiled what information we have into a spreadsheet to be read in addition to Halandaar's first post.

This is incorporating the leaked* information from Goblintrader as discussed in the main thread for the rest of the run.

I have kept the dates as a weekly release, but this is speculation and may need to be updated if they change so please don't base anything on this other than for information. If anything such as dates or contents are updated, I will update accordingly. 

 

* - I cannot comment on how accurate this information is or not, but it's here as an outline.

I'm thinking Issue 72 and 73 will be 10 Shock Troops each for a total of 20 as show in the picture attached. If this is the case and our info is accurate then they'll be massive value for money!

This is one of the many things in this "leak" that has me feeling doubtful about it's veracity. Termagants are available widely and cheaply thanks to their presence in all the different starter sets, and yet they've still been split over a total of four issues to minimise savings. I appreciate there are only so many issues here and there is a lot to squeeze in, but the idea that a full kit of Cadians will be available for a tenner per squad seems too good to be true, especially when similar 2-sprue, 10-model infantry kits (GSC Neophytes, WE Jakhals) are being slated as being split over two issues, but you'll then get something like the Juggerlord/Lord Invocatus being two issues (compare with Bike Chaplain which is one issue). Cthonian Berserks (3x 0.5 sprues) is two issues, but Einhyr Hearthgard (2x 1.0 sprues) is only one? 

 

And if you were designing this, would you really put Berserkers in four consecutive issues? The whole thing feels off with how Hachette have done it before and I would not be surprised one bit if this turns out to be a guess by the store to generate preorders. Hachette and GW want people engaged in this for as long as possible, and releasing all the kits for a faction in a single 10-issue chunk reduces the chances people stick around vs spreading the factions out two at a time across 20~ issues.
