Hachette Partworks - Combat Patrol Summary Thread

[Karhedron]

Just called FP in central London and they said they had just sold out. 

 

Not been in in person to check though.

If you do go, there seemed to be 2-3 stacks in the new magazines area as you first come down stairs plus at least one stack in the overflow area with the sale items (near the graphic novels)
I didnt actually notice in the normal location for the partworks stuff if there were any there

Well I am royally bummed... Saw Issue 39 go up on BuyMags, but decided to try my local newsagent first to avoid shipping costs. 

They had none, so went back to BuyMags, and the page is down, guessing they've sold out. Then I found out that my local Newsagent has been flogging it's stock on eBay for £24.99 an issue which is why they had none in store!

Not at all happy.

In Forbidden planet shaftsbury now, 6 issues of #39 left on the shelf, bottom right of picture

 

Good hunting!

 

(Edit - to add, I didnt buy these myself, I already have enough for myself and I dont have the time or inclination to be a scalper)

Is there a way to keep track of issues becoming available on Forbidden Planet? There are a few coming up that I'm after (mainly the Leagues of Votann) but I have no idea how to actually know when they're available. Is there a specific day of the week for new ones? Do they only add 1 new issue at a time or do they do several at once? Or is there a way to actually be notified? I hope there's a better way than just having to check basically every day every few hours or so and hoping it's there and in-stock

 

All guesswork, pretty much. They seem to add them in batches of 4-8 issues. The last batch (issues 41-44) was added around 10th May, so approx 1 calendar month before the first of those issues goes out for general sale.  On that basis I'll speculate the next 4 issues would go up next weekend, but honestly checking the FP site regularly is the only way to catch them when they get added.

Well thankfully after the debacle with my local Newsagent, it turns out Forbidden Planet Southampton was rather well stocked and I was able to secure the kits I wanted.

I was very pleased to see that they had stickers on most issues stating purchase limits. For example Issue 39 had stickers "Strictly limited to 1 per customer" which meant they had a good amount of stock even several days after release (although it did mean having to make multiple visits and with family members to get the 3 copies I wanted )

Thankfully, with Issue 39 now done, I don't have to worry about finding any of them anymore!

BuyMagsDirect have #39 & #40 available to order, just FYI

Any ideas what’s coming next? Fauxhammer seem silent on the matter compared to their usual plethora of advance knowledge.

ORKKSSSSSS!!!!!

erm,.. sorry!

 

I will probably be getting, it stock allows,...
1 warboss

2x boys

1x deffkopats

2x deff dreads

 

.....This may end up with more Boyz, I only have about 150 at the moment so clearly need more!

....and more deff dreads... how many is too many of any kind of dread

I might get another boomdakka snazzwagon too - I really cant say/write that with out doing a James Workshop 'mmmm, boomdakka snazzwagon....'

I really want a decent sized dread mob, not to play necessarily, just because... I've kind of always wanted a Mek lead/themed ork army 

 

40-43 issue covers are showing on the hachette site confirming the list above for those issues

Paint issue is Calgar Blue and Coelia greeshade for those that want to know.

Fauxhammer's site seems to have gone silent on everything for a while now. Not sure if something's going on there. The leaks above have been bang on to date so seem pretty reliable to predict what's next.

The first post in the thread was updated with the full list of issues based on the leak from GoblinTrader.es which @TheArtilleryman referenced above.

 

So far (issues 21-40), that leak has proven to be exactly correct, so we can safely assume that the rest is correct too.

My latest subscription bundle arrived today so I can confirm that:

40 = 5 chaos terminators

41 = 1 ork warboss in mega-armour

42 = coelia greenshade and calgar blue

43 = 10 ork Boyz

44 = administratum grey, astrogranite and a texture spreader 

[TheArtilleryman]

Managed to snag the Wraithguard issue from Morrison’s first thing this morning, on top of the 2 copies I ordered from Newsstand, so that’s the 3 squads I need(want)ed for my army plan.

 

I’ve got the terminators on order for my son for next week. Luckily, there are no other issues I want in the series, or I’d be in massive trouble on the backlog (not that I’m not already of course …)

Issue #39 just went live on Travelling Man.

[TheVoidDragon]

Found issue 39 in a Local Post Office newsagents yesterday, wasn't one I was initially planning on getting and no idea what I'll do with them yet but it was too good a find not to buy.

[lhg033]

No 39 or 40 in Forbidden Planet London today at lunch

I did see a couple of terminator issues yesterday here but didnt get a chance to post then forgot
