Both the bolter arms and the shotgun arms of the Palanites fit the shock carbine perfectly. I’ve done it, I’ll try and get pics for you.

Just noticed newsagents have the first issue of the Age of Sigmar partworks magazine for £2.99, you get 13 miniatures (3 Sigmar warriors, and 10 wraiths/ghosts) and 6 dice. Not bad for £2.99 at all.

Space Marine Heroes series 2 is also out (the Terminator collection) though that's £7.99 for one random miniature. If you want a squad of five, its cheaper to just buy the regular squad set.

Wow that AoS part works sounds like good value...I might keep an eye out for it. Didn't know they were going to do one.

Just shows how ridiculously overpriced GW miniatures are normally if they can give you all that for less than 3 quid.

The second issue is £5.99 and has the banshee ghost women on it and a pot of paint, then its £7.99 an issue after that.

Any supermarkets selling this?

Probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a while, it’s that cheap to entice people into collecting the magazine

Standard partworld magazine MO, and has been since the 80's, first issue is dirt cheap with loads of freebies, then gets more expensive with less stuff with each subsequent issue.

I'm sure they're not losing pounds per issue by selling at that price though.

Not particularly accurate if you look at the Conquest magazines.

What they do is make it a far better idea of subscribing. So splitting a dreadnought over two issues for example. £25 rrp. You pay £15.98. Which is still better than most discounters can offer you and you get two mags in addition.

Now, you may not give much value to the mags. But then that's because you are not really the target audience. The target audience is youngters and people new to the hobby who are given a nice bite-size way of getting into 40k.

It just so happens to be a good way of getting a discount off stuff you may or may not want.

I cancelled my subscription as I'm not playing much 40k anymore and wanted to spend my hobby budget elsewhere. But for each monthly cost, I more than got the values worth. Later issues included the likes of the easy build Lord Felthius and his tainted cohort, which are £25 normally, with one issue.

Anyone know if there is an easy way to get this overseas?

We seem to get them sporadically in Oz,I’ll keep an eye out if you like?

[mcfonz]

I don't believe it is on general release in the UK yet.

As with Conquest, they seem to do a targeted release in certain localities and via some stores then a general released based on the success that had.

I'll keep my eyes open here as well then.

I found it in the local Co-Op
