cards.privateerpress.com has all (?) cards now. Should be the source of truth for model rules going forward.
How y'all going to use it? Cut 'em out to put in sleeves, or print out sheets for your lists and just write directly on them?

I'm going to largely ignore it and use war room.

Card quality never bothered me.

I'm going to write a script to turn all the upside down pieces the right way up and make my own mini War Room that doesn't suck and has a reasonable price.

I'll print some stuff for demo games. Handing new players war room is a bit much for them and me.

I've gotten used to solely relying on war room this edition but I will definitely print out cards if I demo games and I will probably print out cards if I am learning a new caster or other model with more complex rules.

I just plan to print out PDFs of my specific army at the time and put them in a protective sleeve for the game I am playing. No need to lug around tons of cards anymore.
Incidentally, they mention anything about War Room still charging for cards while they are now free online? Why would anyone pay for War Room when they can just download the cards free?

War room isn't ever going to be free. They have spent a lot of money getting it up and running. With the exception of online games it does work great by the way. It is still the best way to check out cards and build lists. It calculates points for you and manages theme benefits. You can track your collection. Look up rules in a searchable form. The Card Database does none of that. It does one thing. Give you PDFs of the cards you want. I bought the ultimate pack day 1 and have not regretted it at all. I spend most of my time on the shitter looking up stats or building lists. You *could*, in a round about way do that with the card database but it would not have nearly the polish. I love War room but I also do really like you idea of printing the cards for your tourney lists. Much easier to hand a sheet of cards over to your opponent than your tablet/phone etc. |

Card database keeps crashing out on my tablet after about a minute or two.

Ill never play khador but its nice to see the faction cards and know what their stuff does so I am not super surprised on the table. I do agree that war room is a great way to build lists and have all your cards together. I have been using for a while now. I don't plan on printing the cards out, just downloading them and having them to browse every once ina while in case I get bored  |

I was looking but I did not see Gatormen in theme cards only out of theme. Anyone know if that card is somewhere?
*I have war room and love it, but you always should have a back up.

Does anyone else read the thread title in Emperor Palpatine's voice? Just me?
Yeah, I'm 100% over to War Room at this point, I feel like that's what they really want in the end anyway.
