So then. I'm still trying to finish up that second magazine - it's nearly done and we're nearly there! - and I'm still working on getting that Tournament update to the website (I've just got to work some magic on that web-friend of mine!) - but I'm slightly sidetracked by a potentially useful project. As the Holocron went down, I snuck in and copied all the card scans, getting in just in time. I started trying to get my head around what was the best use of them and considered my Kindle. The Kindle has been an extremely wonderful addition to my life... we take long walks together, picnics, even go to the movies together... and I have filled it with 300 Star Wars Books and .pdfs of just about every SWM-related thing I can find. I then thought how good it would be to have all the cards in point order on my Kindle (1 per page) so I could see them and refer to them. "Oh - I want to make a Sith Squad...", refer the Sith .pdf on my Kindle... "What can I bring in wi' Lobot?", refer the Fringe .pdf on my Kindle... So, now I offer that same goodness up to you. If it is useful, then all goods. I'm not quite finished yet - I've done the 5 smallest factions and I spent a day (yes, a freakin' day) making the Fringe one - so the big 4 are still to come. But, by gum, I'll post when it's done. http://save11.fusion.net.nz/[Factions]%20Yuuzhan%20Vong.pdfhttp://save11.fusion.net.nz/[Factions]%20Sith.pdfhttp://save11.fusion.net.nz/[Factions]%20Old%20Republic.pdfhttp://save11.fusion.net.nz/[Factions]%20New%20Republic.pdfhttp://save11.fusion.net.nz/[Factions]%20Mandalorian.pdfhttp://save11.fusion.net.nz/[Factions]%20Fringe.pdfhttp://save11.fusion.net.nz/[Factions]%20Rebel.pdf http://save11.fusion.net.nz/[Factions]%20Imperial.pdf http://save11.fusion.net.nz/[Factions]%20Separatist.pdf http://save11.fusion.net.nz/[Factions]%20Republic.pdf *newest!*

I completely agree with the comment about the Kindle. I've loaded mine up with all the pdf files I could fine related to minis. It's a great resource and I appreciate you taking the time to put all cards together and arrange everything by faction.
btw, the Sith link is broken.

I played with the link and found that there was no space between "[Faction]" and "Sith" in the file name. Link fixed.  And thanks Kez, very cool.

If I print it should it be the size of a normal card?

This is worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi Order.
Also, I am pretty sure if you print they will be huge. I will devise an incredibly complicated way to print them normal-size, then right before I go to post it someone will post a way that takes 1/100th of the time. Off to it, I am!

My version of Acrobat, at least, has a "print multiple pages per sheet" option, so you can print, say, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 2 x4 (landscape)... Whatever size works best. I didn't try it, but I think 2 x 2 would look good. 3 x 3 might be too small.

By the way, thanks, kez! (And especially thanks for making sure all the Affinity pieces are in).

OK, to print Regular size (I have windows and MS word):
1. Click and drag over the card image you want.
2. Press Ctrl+C
3. Paste into word.
4. Rt click on image and pick "Size and position"
5. Set it to 3.5" high by 2.5" wide (the standard size for trading cards since 1957)
Just in case anyone was having trouble.

Kezz, just a heads up, in the Vong file the slayer is repeated. I think you meant to have the first one as the fanatic since he's missing and the slayer is in his spot.

I also use kindle, for the Vsets, Thanks now I have WOTC cards for the factions you listed.  Question How did you get that many SW books on your kindle. I can't find that many to download, for mine. Most of the older books are not available. Did you scan the pages and make your own? or is there a site with the on? At the moment I have 10 books which I brought from Amazon. I know Amazon has more and will get them sooner or later, but books like the Thrawn trilogy are not there to get.

Um... my brother just "had" them. I didn't ask as many questions as I perhaps should have... they're all in .txt format.
Thanks for the Vong Slayer heads up. Will correct in due time!

Yo. Update time! Rebel and Imperial done (with the exception of the Starter Set, Rebels and Imperials Set, Attack on Endor cards and the AT-AT - I'm working on those) and I've fixed up Mandalore the First's card and changed the Vong Slayer. Coolio!
