My son bought 13 of the things.

 :o

I'm actually quite looking forward to the next few issues, and will be interested to see what else the mags come packaged with over the weeks. Can see myself having a few impulse purchases, although the inevitable "build a Chaos Defiler in 24 parts" and "its not a ruler, its a bolter shaped tactical range-finder, honest!" may get a pass...

It won't be in the shops after a few issues.  None of these part-works ever are.

Yeah I picked up 3 of them, and then had an argument with the CO-OP staff who tried to charge me £5.99 each

Was going to buy 5 or 10 issues on the Partworks website but it's only for UK customers ...

Anybody willing to help out a poor European mainlander?   ???   :D Please send a pm

So it looks like it's only the first two issues that are reduced in price now, but the website now shows the full collection available.

Depending how they portion them out there could still be some good deals on offer.

UK and Ireland only t start, but likely to be rolled out elsewhere if they're successful - GW have strongly hinted that they're waiting to see how it's received before going international, which is fair enough.

It looks like everything up to now is from the various starter kit boxes. Cant imagine them including tanks an stuff, though you might get one of them Nurgle bloat fly engine thingies

This is what they're promising on one of the bits of paper that comes with the thing.

Re the Conquest partwork...

So anything that comes on more than one sprue is going to be split across multiple issues, you reckon? Take the grav-tank for example - probably what, three issues at eight quid a time? That's £24, less than half the price of buying one from your local GW shop...  :?

This is slowly becoming more tempting, even though there is no need or justification for me buying it...

I wonder if they will end up putting a small piece of the tanks in each issue plus a few miniatures. That way you have to buy many issues to get the complete kit.

Given that the subscription model is to send out four issues together once a month, it would be very easy for them to split a tank over several issues and it still arrive in one go.
