    i did the math for EURO€ for those interested. these calculations are only about the models vs subscriptions, other things like paints or shipping were not included in these calculations. if you bought every unit in the standard subscription from gw it would cost 1609€. 20% cheaper from retailers would be 321,80€ off for a final of 1287,20€. the magazine at 15€ each and 90 issues costs 1350€. with premium you get models in worth of 471,25€ which at 20% is 94,25€ off for a total of 377€. the whole standard+premium models would cost 2080,25€ where 20% is 416,05€ off for a total of 1664,20€. the premium subscription costs 17,50€ each for 1575€. my conclusion if 20% cheaper is available, then only buy this if you want to 'collect' the combat patrol magazine as a whole. if any part of the whole is not appealing to you, it would be better to buy the things discounted elsewhere. if you can only get 10% or less, it might be worth it if you can split the costs with someone else. PS also be aware that in the subscription fine print are extra binders that come at an additional cost. you have to manually opt out after making your subscription if you dont want those, as you automatically opt in on registration of your subscription. also be aware that the last 40k magazine had raised its price by 1€ for each of the last 30 or so issues. meaning the cost of 1575€ might go up depending on binders, price hikes, shipping costs, etc.. . . . additional math/stats for those interested: standard 1350€ divided by 9 factions means 150€ per faction. the standard factions gw cost is 181,25€ - aeldari 181,25€ - chaos space marines 171,00€ - astra militarum (imperial guard) 181,25€ - genestealer cults 174,00€ - space marines 164,00€ - tyranids 197,50€ - world eaters 181,25€ - leagues of votan 177,50€ - orks premium 1575€ divided by 9 factions means 175€ per faction. the premium factions gw cost is 232,50€ - aeldari 248,75€ - chaos space marines * 253,50€ - astra militarum (imperial guard) 236,25€ - genestealer cults 239,00€ - space marines 215,25€ - tyranids 265,00€ - world eaters * 228,75€ - leagues of votan 228,75€ - orks * you need to subtract one 67,50€ daemon prince as you only get one for csm and eaters to share.

    I'm not subscribing this time, pretty fed up with so many copies of the same free gifts each partwork subscription, and the premium issues in Stormbringer were a tad meeh in their model choices. I will however be getting the partwork from my local newsagents instead, and just reuse older Conquest or Imperium Binders with a bit of home improvised artwork ontop of the covers and spine.

    • @PlasticKrakenWargaming

      Hey, yeah the extra gifts do seem quite predictable now and things people who pick up each sub already has enough of. The exclusive models have definitely gone down hill - they used to be decent. I think I'd most love them to do something totally different for the next one like do one around the Middle-earth game and do something new with the free gifts etc and do something special for the exclusives. I don't think there's much chance of that happening... a man can dream though!

    The new Sanguinary Guard aren't more detailed though. They have realistic "tru scale" proportions and that's literally it. Everything else is a step down. Each torso and leg pair is bespoke and unique in the original kit - the Primaris Sanguinary Guard are literally copy and pasted CAD-by-intern jobs. There is no detailing or character to them. The original Sanguinary Guard were individual characters in their own right. The helmets which PREDATE the Stormcast are references to Mordred in the movie "Excalibur". What's crazy with the Sanguinor model is that the new plastic version has far LESS unique details due to laziness.

Im also planning on doing some green stuff sculpting. I also just find it odd how inconsistent the sanguinius death masks are between these guys and dante and the old ones.
