My Mrs went all over town this morning but no sign of the Conquest mag anywhere...that sucks.

Yeah I've been 4 places today looking and there is no luck for me, everywhere is either sold out or don't stock it.

A local GW store manager made the, obvious but I still missed it, point that if you and a friend split it between two with one taking Marines and the other Deathguard, you are spending around £16 a month for a fair chunk of stuff by the end of it.
Most folks playing 40k will probably average a £16/month spend so this isn't bad at all. I'll see about getting the first couple of issues available in stores for Kill Team and conversions etc., but a subscription isn't for me.

The new Underworlds stuff is looking very nice. The Nighthaunt in particular are pretty characterful and will 'flesh' out my AoS army nicely.

It's also worth noting that after around 5-6 issues it will be subscription only. So you won't be able to just walk into a shop and buy the ones you want. Which is standard for Partworks and the like I believe.

Also, for those that are looking in the obvious places, the co-op's in my area have stocked them too. So whilst ASDA sold out quite quickly there were a number in my local co-op.

None in my Co-op, local Newsagent or Tescos. :(
Might have to go on a little hunt soon... I can't help thinking the evil eBay barons might snatch them all and make a profit on flogging them!

I hadn't spotted that it'd be going subscription only.

My Co-Op doesn't stock it but the wife FB'd the local GW and they are putting a couple of copies aside for me to collect tomorrow.  8)

I picked up two in my local Co-Op this morning.
Like someone else said they were mis-priced at £5.99m but the staff happily changed to the correct £1.99.
Next issue will be £4.99 and then subsequent ones £5.99

I was going to grab a couple of issue 2 if they'd stayed at £1.99 but as I don't play Nurgle £4.99 makes it unlikely.

Not a GW fan and not a sci-fi gamer but I have bought this to give it a try. Looks a decent enough magazine and minis and paint!! :)

Well, the reveals from Nova have certainly piqued my interest - I'll be swerving the Pro game, but Warhammer Quest 40K sounds like it'll be fantastic and seems like Slaanesh may be getting some love soon - just in time to coincide with the Slaaneshi themed Inquisitor campaign I'm planning. Those, plus the Kill Team Rogue Trader pretty much puts paid to any chance of me saving any money this year, at this rate my 5 month old daughter will have more in her account than I so soon  lol

Slaaneshian stuff is meant for 2019 i heard. But as its my favourite power i wonder whet will we see.

Quest stuff is buy for sure. Especially that it will have few characters (incl Rogue trader) and 3 new Chaos marines ! Not Nurgle bastards but plain undivided guys!

Saw them in Dublin Easons and WH Smith just the last week. Didn't check price.

I restrained myself when I saw it by chance in Smiths the other day - and only bought one. The three Intercessors will form part of a Kill Team with some marines I found in a box the other day.

Subsequent issues will be £7.99.  ;)

It seems that the magazine is also being sold in Europe after all. A group of 40k fans in Spain bought it:
