Mcthew Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I guess then, a subscription from Forbidden Planet is the best option? (Although that nerfs a premium subscription, I very much doubt Hachette would deliver on one, anyway). Having trawled the internet on the subject, it beggars belief that GW would use Hachette Partworks as the vehicle to manage this product. Beggars belief that a major publishing company like Hachette would still continue with Partworks too, as it must damage their brand. The problems with Partworks go back to at least 2008, with some of their other titles. I've seen articles from places such as Mumsnet who mention their awful customer service (and quite frankly, bordering-on-criminal practices around subscriptions). Wouldn't touch Partworks with a 10 metre sky pike, really. Edited January 6, 2020 by Mcthew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Klatz Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Yeah, there's several missteps they need to fix with this for the wider fandom. The Mortal Realms should accessible for all. Also, saw this post on a savings deal for issues 1-11 for people interested: Edited January 7, 2020 by Baron Klatz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprues&Brews Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Breakdown on Sprues and Brews of how much money you save with the Premium Sub and the goodies you get with that!

Bayul Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Wow, there's a lot of actually good content about the magazine on Hatchetts Youtube channel: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Klatz Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Seeing a lot of hype for this on forums and reddit, be it for just the amazing deals or great jumping in point it offers to hobbyists. Really hoping this convinces Hatchett to expand availability to other countries because that's the only thing really holding this back.

Chikrit Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yesterday I got the first package of my premium subscription (in Spain). Perfectly packaged. Sprues are well protected (same plastic cover as number 1) and the brush (issue 2) has a cap, tho it looks a bit crappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccentricCircle Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I picked up issue one to get the cheap Chainrasps. The Contents look good, standard GW small white dice, and the same type of ruler as you get in boxed sets. Most importantly lots of models for the low starting price. I've not read the magazine itself yet, but the contents look interesting if not realmshattering. I can't justify getting an actual subscription, since my Nighthaunt are pretty much complete as of christmas, but I might try to pick up an issue or two that has interesting stuff in it.

RuneBrush Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Just to say that I received my first bundle of 4 magazines this morning as have a few other people. I have also heard that for people who signed up last year on the "test" run, if they didn't complete the new payment form have been sent the bundle along with a bill.

Baron Klatz Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 At least they got their contents with it. I would've expected the magazines to be withheld a bit longer for the lack of payment. Congrats on getting yours though, how are you liking them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(just to compare the pace) Here in Spain we have received issues 1, 2, and 3 in january, 4 and 5 in february and is spected that, from now on, they come in packs of four, delivering on the middle of the month. That would mean issues 6 to 9 in march (15 minis and 3 paints) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcthew Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Our local WH Smith's are still stocking these so lucky enough to cherry pick issues. Don't expect this to continue so will limit purchases to must need/bargains. (Picked up 2 chaos spawn for £10 plus p&p via Warhammer Conquest. So bargains are to be had if you look closely enough - I've got my eye on the Lord Ordinator)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest and say I've not really sat down and looked through them! The next bundle should come with a binder so I'm currently thinking that I may wait for that before I have a proper binge on the content! Model wise, what's really nice is that with the exception of the first week, the models are arriving cast in traditional grey plastic, which is a lot nicer to deal with than the coloured ones. 19 hours ago, Chikrit said: Which issues?

Black_Templar_Lad Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Finally received my issues, although the postman rammed the package through the letter box and so the models are strained. Don't really pay for that. Ain't opened them yet as I want to make a complaint first but hopefully it hasn't deformed them enough beyond use, there just appears to be physical strain on some limbs, parts i.e. the plastic appears white. Bit guttered like, are there any fixes for deformed/strained plastic? Doubt Hatchette would send replacements. 😕 Edited March 2, 2020 by Black_Templar_Lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Klatz Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Oh geez, that's awful. I guess if Hatchette don't do anything after a request you could try GW's customer service itself. They might be able to help if it's not too separate a branch from theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Templar_Lad Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Aye cheers matey I'll give them a shout if I can't get anything resolved from the post office, had a few bad deliveries from our posty now. Just glad nothing is actually broken or bent too out of shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikrit Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 My package for march just arrived here in Spain. 3 issues, numbers 6, 7 and 8, bringing the Thorns of the briar queen, the Celestar ballista and some paints. Also they have sent the first special gift, consisting in tweezers, glue and mold line remover. Strange, I expected 4 issues.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - will update here when we get the next bundle (not for another few weeks). It may be that they're trying to bring them back into the 4 issues per bundle (so your next one will be 9 ~ 12). Who knows - the communication aspect of the subscription hasn't been great! Interesting that you got tweezers as in my first bundle it was side snips, glue and a baby mold line remover (which is brilliant and lives on my keyring) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From now on, we'll get 4 issues per package. And the tool, yup, definitely are side snips. I missed the name. I'm not profficient on english tool names apart from the usual ones 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Templar_Lad Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 An update on my damaged parcel I'm sure no one wants to know hahaha, but I called RoyalMail who informed me I had to contact Hachette themselves. Hachette responded within a few days and have sent out 4 replacement copies. They didn't ask for any pics, just wanted to mention some positive support from them, i know there's a lot of negative feedback with their customer service. Nice to know it has been resolved. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why it's great to hear that along with the general news they've been stepping up their game for their customers. The Mortal Realms deserves the best as does it's heroes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
