Warhammer Combat Patrol Subscription FAQs

All information subject to change.

What is Warhammer 40,000: Combat Patrol?
Warhammer 40,000: Combat Patrol is a brand new tabletop wargaming collection officially licensed by Games Workshop. The collection is your gateway into the 41st Millennium, where humanity battles for survival against aliens, traitors and other terrible foes. You'll collect, build and paint armies of incredible miniatures to fight brutal battles on the war-torn planets of the Imperium of Mankind.

When will the collection be available?
Subscriptions from issue 01 will be available on our website as soon as an Australian release date is announced. At this stage we expect that to be in 2025 or early 2026.

Can I subscribe to the whole 90 issue collection?

Yes you can, but you must sign up before the release of issue 09.

All subscriptions that start before the release of issue 09 will be actioned as subscriptions wishing to start from issue 01.

Subscriptions that start from issue 01 after the release of issue 04 will be charged for the first batch (issues 1-4) immediately, and then the second batch (issues 5-8) the following day.

If you miss an issue as a result of not starting your subscription early enough, older issues will be available to order separately on the website (so don't panic!)

How much does each issue cost?
Issue 01 comes at the special price of $5.99*
Issue 02 comes at the special price of $13.99*
Issue 03 onwards is priced at $19.99*

All prices indicate until an Australian release date is announced.

How can I find out about stock delivery updates?
After launch, you can check out the stock updates on the stock updates screen. We update this as often as we can with due dates for stock as soon as we have confirmed details from our suppliers.

How much is each subscription payment?
The first subscription payment covering issues 1-4 is $59.95 (+P&P)
All subsequent payments will be $79.95 (+P&P) every four weeks.

After my first payment, when is the next payment due?
Each payment is aligned with the publication date of the first issue of the next batch. Subscriptions that start from issue 01 after the release of issue 04 will be charged for the first batch (issues 1-4) immediately, and then the second batch (issues 5-8) the following day.

How much is postage and packing (P&P)?
This subscription offer is available in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong. Each batch of four issues (every four weeks) is $15 Australia-wide, with postage to other locations based on up to date freight costs.

What are the subscription's benefits?
When you subscribe to our exclusive subscription offer you will receive:

Priority allocation to ensure you never miss an issue

A permanent 10% off all paints, paint brushes and hobby tools from Games Workshop and Army Painter while your subscription is live

Entry to a prize draw to win a $500 website spending frenzy if you subscribe and pay for the full 1-90 magazine collection.

We are creating our own exclusive subscription offer as the Hachette exclusive 'premium' subscription is not available in Australasia. Our offer is not affiliated with Hachette or Games Workshop.

When will deliveries and payments take place?
Payments and deliveries will take place each four weeks around the release date of the first issue in the following batch of four magazines (here's an example):

Batch contents	Payment made
Issues 1 - 4	immediately upon subscribing
Issues 5 - 8	Release date of issue 5
Issues 9-12	Release date of issue 9

If you sign up mid-way through a four week period (for example, at issue 10), your subscription will start immediately with a payment for the next four weekly batch (in this example it would be for issue 13-16). Payments will then be set to occur every four weeks thereafter until the end of the collection, or you suspend/cancel your subscription.

All consignments of four issues will be dispatched ASAP after the release of the last issue in that batch (i.e., the first batch of issues 1-4 will be sent as soon as issue 4 is released, the next batch containing issues 5-8 as soon as issue 8 is released and so on).

After your first payment (which is processed immediately upon signing up for the subscription) your four-weekly payment dates will be automatically changed to align with the release date of the first issue of the next batch. For example, if you sign up from the start (for issues 1-4, your next payment will be set for the publication date of issue 5.

Can I suspend/cancel my subscription?
Yes, you can suspend/cancel your subscription. Please email us at enquiries@waterfrontnews.com.au or call us on 03 6424 9100. Cancellations will take effect from the end of the batch of four issues you have paid for.

If you suspend, and then reactivate your subscription at a later date, it will reactivate payments immediately for a batch of four issues, which will start in accordance with the schedule shown above with the release date of the first issue of the next batch of four issues.

Are the magazine binders part of the subscription?
Unfortunately, Hachette UK has not released the binders for sale in Australasia at this stage. Should binders become available, those with subscriptions will receive priority access to order them.

How will the prize draw to win a $500 website spending frenzy work?
Customers that maintain an uninterrupted, live subscription throughout the entire run of 1-90 magazines will be entered into a draw (to be drawn on a date to be determined).

The winner will receive an e-giftcard to the value of $500 to be used for any item on the website (subject to any terms and conditions detailed on the website). This e-giftcard is non-transferrable and no cash equivalent will be issued.
