It looks like they've decided to do the magazine thing after all - http://www.warhammer40000conquest.com/

First issue £1.99, no idea about outside UK, but they are quoting a euro price

There are standard and premium subscriptions,  £7.99 and £9.49 respectively

[Skyven]

Euro price is for Ireland.

Am I missing something or does it not actually say when it's coming out?

The email I got:

Dear Warhammer 40,000: Conquest subscriber,

We are delighted to let you know that on the 29th of August Warhammer 40,000: Conquest will be launching nationally!

As a valued test subscriber, we will be re-activating your subscription from issue 1 and will be sending you the first 3 issues free of charge. This means that you don't need to subscribe again once the new website is live.

For security reasons we could not hold onto your payment details from the test, so you will need to re-enter them. Please look out for an email in the next week detailing how to do this.

If you have any questions about this process or any other part of your subscription, please contact us on Facebook from tomorrow or call us on UK 0333 300 1045 or ROI 0333 300 1046. (Lines are open Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm. Local rates apply from a landline).

We'd like to thank you again for supporting Warhammer 40,000: Conquest, and we hope you enjoy your collection!

The free items have changed since the test as well - which is worth noting I guess. Hopefully that helps? Although I'm not convinced launch means hits the shelves, but we'll see I guess.

Urm … I'm not saying that's a scam email, but it's worded very like a scam email might be worded.

Might be worth just double-checking it.

I will more than likely pick up the cheap first issues and give the minis to my kids to paint.

The two Nurgle issues (2 & 4) combined may well build a cheap Kill Team so I might grab those for me.

[zemjw]

From the FAQ it looks like they're planning 80 issues. At £7.99 an issue (ignoring the first few cheap ones), that adds up to just under £640.

Probably reasonable value given what they're supplying, but still a heck of a lot of cash, and very much in their control as to what you get each issue.

3 Plague Marines and six poxwalkers will leave you about 30 points short of a full 100 point Kill Team.

I bought the box set of all those minis with First Strike. I might get the second book to get some more Plague Marines and do some conversion work on them. when do they come out.

Ahh thanks dude. I got my copy of the rules yesterday but I'm not gunna look at it till I finish the minis I'm painting...takes a quick peek...

In that case a 2nd copy of one of those issues should fill use the rest of the points.

Another copy of the issue with three Plague Marines will give you the points you need, but they're easy build figures that only go together one way.  You will have  no flexibility whatsoever in how they look or what they're equipped with.

Two of the figures will be Plague Champions and there's only one of them in the Death Guard Kill Team list. 

To get a viable force with some flexibility you'd really need to buy a £30 box of Plague Marines or hit Ebay.

It's not.

The Lord of The Rings - The Battle of Pelennor Fields starter set pre-order has just been launched along with the rebranded classic plastic minatures. Looks like there are again 24 miniatures in a box for £25.00 (£20.00 at discounters), that's some good news as I quite like the perry brothers sculpted range and game which started my miniature wargame hobby way back.

[Elbows]

I was actually casually considering the new LOTR...but the combined rulebook/army book combo is $120...far too much for my "kinda sorta" interest level.

[beefcake]

 Sigh... If only it was $120 for me
