The Warhammer 40k Imperium Magazine Collection release date has been revealed, and it’s not too far away at all!
The exclusive info is coming from Faux Hammer, who compiled everything about the release. If you’re unfamiliar with the subscription, you get a handful of minis and other accessories along with each magazine.
The models are all for Space Marines and Necrons but aren’t a bad value for the number of minis you get. On top of the minis, you can get paint, dice, a game mat, a brush, a ruler, free gifts, and of course the accompanying magazine with each issue.
One big thing to note here though, this is the UK release date, the US date still looks to be early 2022.
Let’s first look at what you can get then jump into when you can get it.
What You Can Score
Each issue of Warhammer 40,000: Imperium comes with a selection of miniatures, paints, brushes, vehicles, or scenery PLUS an exclusive magazine to build your own Warhammer 40,000 army!
As you can see, you get some interesting stuff with every issue, but if you don’t play Space Marines or Necrons, it’s not really for you yet. Each issue of the magazine will focus on the minis inside with datasheets, lore, building guides, paint guides, and some tips on how to actually play with the minis in a battle.
While you won’t be able to build a full army around what’s inside (well not until you grab a bunch of the issues), it’s a very cool little service and it’s always fun to get stuff in the mail! On top of what you get in every issue, if you subscribe you will also receive one free gift with every issue.
The gifts are almost as cool as the issues. The modeling kit and paint handle are honestly pretty sweet and are worth about $30-$35 on their own. On top of that, you get three brushes and a binder/dividers to keep all your issues organized. Nothing too crazy but for the price, it’s actually a fairly decent value for everything you get. Again, if you want to subscribe, for US readers, you can here when it is open again.
Differences for UK Release
According to Fauxhammer, this was in a trial run last month in the UK and now seems to have moved into the full access portion of retail across the globe.
In the UK the full set of 80 issues costs a whopping 160£, but there is a full breakdown on what comes in the series, and some advice on how to get even better value as well:

The TLDR version is that you can save 40% – 50% on the models you get in the premium kits. there are some potential things you can do to nab this a bit cheaper than the £160 cost across 80 issues. but you do this at your own risk (I wouldn’t) details in the article.
So back in England, the first two issues cost 8.99£ each which is amazing compared with the two-issue cost here of $16.90. but it is unclear if all 80 issues will be $8.99 each as issues 3 and 4 costs about $12 respectively.
Warhammer 40k Imperium Collection Release Date Leaked!
So, the big question, when will you be able to get your hobby hands on it?
Magazine issue 1 will be released in the UK on August 25th, 2021. So only about another couple of months. Issue 1 will be out for about 2 weeks before the second installment is released. After that, the issues will come out weekly. So, they say there will be 80 issues, meaning if they don’t speed up it will take more than a year and a half to grab everything.
This is great news for UK readers, but if you want everything inside elsewhere in the world you still have a little longer to wait.
