Antares – Action Cards

I have totally been busy painting and stuff. I just haven’t been posting about it, at all. I’ve been working on my Blood Bowl display board, and it’s coming along pretty nicely although I think my reds and greens are pretty brutal looking. You’ll see later, I’m sure.

This post is about some cool cards I made.

About a week ago, Warlord games via the community Facebook group announced they had printed a bunch of action cards for a local UK tournament and that they would be selling extras on the website at 9am. UK time. That’s like 2am PST. I’d claim to be annoyed, but this is public. (…the game has fans outside of the UK, right?). Rather than trying to wake myself at 2am to buy something silly online, I made my own. 

There are other action cards and play-aids available that others have made, but none of them made me want to go out and get them printed at a professional shop. The cards are useful, because you tend to forget items like this in your army, those that don’t have a physical presence. So, like Blood Bowl, you make cards and make them visible! I like my accessories, and I like them pretty looking.

I made 17 card decks, containing 3 Block!, 3 Extra Shot, 1 Superior Shard, 3 Well Prepared, 3 Get Up!, 3 Pull Yourself Together and 1 Marksman. The front is a free border, and the back is an image of the Horsehead Nebula (found on Google Image Search, Labelled for Reuse).  They should be suitable for printing, as they are 3.5″ by 2.5″ with a 0.24″ bleed (for PrinterStudio, usually it would be 0.25″ bleed) at 300 DPI.

Here’s what the cards look like (but don’t use this image to print from!)

Feel free to print them and use however you desire. Let me know if you do print them out, and where you are in the world!
