Leaving a second positive review now my magazine subscription is coming to an end.

Very happy with Hachette.
I've very much enjoyed their Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol magazine and all it's miniatures.

The magazine was well planned out with each magazine comprising of categories for you separate and consolodate in the binders they give you.
Which I much very prefer over having a simple stack of magazines.

The support team have always been prompt and very helpful in their responses.
Any issues, while rare, were sorted out quickly and smoothly.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll do next when they pick up 40k again, presumably later in 11th edition.

Thank you Mario, Sam, Hollie, Milly and Brook for all the help you've given me over the last two years of my subscription.

What an amazing company

What an amazing company. The contents of the Winnie the pooh embroidery are beautiful, everything you need to get started is in the pack. With excellent descriptions of how to start all in lovely colours. Hints and pictures to do the stitches. I wish I had found this a while ago.
I contacted the company to ask it would be possible for my kit to come 7 days after I subscribed. Which is a bit cheeky as but i wanted it for my holiday. Lo and behold it came the day before I went. I have nothing but praise for this company.

A great way to learn how to get into 40K

I really do love the magazines and it has been just what I needed for starting into the hobby and not knowing how to paint. Only reason it’s not a 5 star rating is because we don’t get the same perks as the UK, which they got exclusive figures and we did not.

A change of courier made better delivery

I reached out to Kiera and Ben in Customer Service at Hachette Partworks about the problem with my delivery experience. They responded and asked for photographic evidence which I shared. They seemed to appreciate my reaching out and telling them what was wrong and decided to send the special extra again that got damaged with a different courier. This arrived, a day later than anticipated because I wasn’t at home for the delivery. Although they asked when would be suitable to redeliver when I’m there, they decided to deliver sooner when I wasn’t there and left in a safe place. It did feel very contradictory of the courier but I think they possibly were just checking they were delivering to the correct address and not wanting to leave it at the wrong address. They maybe don’t have the facility or ability to ask the question they want to that isn’t contradictory so while the delivery experience wasn’t perfect it was a lot better than the first time and that is appreciated. Also thank you to Royal Mail for that.

Walt Disney mini book issues

I made a mistake when I ordered Disney mini books and was sent two sets as I did not want them I contacted customer services and spoke to a very helpful advisor Ben who cancelled the duplicate order and could return the unwanted issues and have a refund for them I did this and within two weeks it was all sorted with the refund was really very easy to do and Ben was polite and helpful I think he is a credit to his company and would buy in future

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbeatable savings for Warhammer fans

I’ve been a subscriber to Hachette Partworks for their model building and Warhammer Combat Patrol magazines, and the experience has been fantastic. 
If you are into tabletop gaming or modeling, these subscriptions are an absolute game-changer for budgeting the hobby. The Warhammer Combat Patrol run is easily one of the most cost-effective ways to collect, build up multiple factions, and get paints/tools at a massive discount compared to retail prices. The step-by-step breakdown in each issue makes the building and rules super digestible. 
Deliveries are consistent and everything arrives well-packaged. It spreads the cost of the hobby out perfectly while keeping a steady stream of new projects coming to my desk. Highly recommend their partworks to any hobbyist, whether you're a veteran collector or just starting out!

Not good value …

A little disappointed that the dalek parts have been broken up into little pieces so hatchette can make more money. Wait for a month and get two pieces of plastic and a spring in each package and the buyer is charged a large amount. When you consider there will be over 100 packages this tends to be very expensive and not good value

Great value and wonderful customer service.

Having both ordered individual items and signed up for the combat patrol monthly sets, I will say either option is well worth it. The one time I did have a slight issue of an order taking a long time to ship, they quickly corrected it. The customer service has been top notch in all the communications I've had with them.
