Well I have a 3 issue sub. to Fanatic Mag (converted Epic Mag sub.) and I'm not sure when I'll see that here in the US ?  ???  But as soon as I get the word, I'll call G/W US and start ordering E:A ... May ... June ... ?  ???

Hi!

I wonder what the real release US date will be, trolls sometimes give conflicting dates.

I would like to add more to this bemoaning of epic coverage and publicising but i fear there is nothing more to add.

I believe a subscription to this new fanatic mag may be in order to satisfy my epic BFG and Mordheim needs. When will i be able to subscribe from and how much will it set me back (we poor students are very pound consious, you know what they say every pound saved is.......well about a half a pint contribution in a reasonbly priced licensed establishement to the purschase of an alcaholic beverage which one has the desire to consume..... at least i think it goes something like that)

Hmmm, I wonder what the price of a script would be here in the US?  My better half is already somewhat irritated that I subscribe to 3 computer games mags already, plus Car&Driver.  Have to find a justification here...think brain think!

my 2cents,

Ermm... tanks crush cars. Epic has tanks. Fanatic mag has Epic articles. You must keep up with the latest crushing hammering smashing technology.

Good? I'd tell myself that.

Looks like the Valkyrie\vulture packaging changed, Jervis posted this yesterday in response to a question about the  box contents listed in WD:

This is a typo. Valkyries come in a blister pack of two models, while Vultures come in a *different* blister pack of their own that contains four models. This means that you need two packs of Valk's to have enough to carry a formation, but unfortunately we couldn't fit four Valk's into a blister pack

Thats odd....the models look about the same to me.  If you could get 4 Vultures in a blister, why not 4 Valkyries? :{

In reply to my own question above:

http://forums.specialist-games.com/epic40k....ID=1812

Insanity!  $70+ US for a twelve month subscription!  Maybe when it is released in the US, the price will come down, but it couldnt come down much.  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:

I can't see the $70 quote anywhere, must be going blind. I did see the ?36 price tag in the UK, is that what you're basing your figure on? As a UK based customer, I don't have much problem with that if its a full colour WD sized mag as I've heard.

Hi!

At current exchange rates it places the subscription cost at around 65 dollars.

I know of no other magazine outside of medical journals that would warrant such a high price.

But then again, holograms.... }:)

ah but other magazines are subsidised by taking advertising....

GW only take advertising from themselves which doesn't actually help with the costs issue....


Actually I have no idea why White Dwarf has "adverts" in it, I would prefer more editorial content, rather than lots of "adverts".
