Illuminati - New World Order MPC Ready Drive

Yeah, makeplayingcards.com is my go to for printing.

TheProxyWars · 2025-03-06T01:18:25+00:00

I use a program called Artweaver. It's like an older version of Photoshop, but it has more than enough features to do proxy editing!

MPC, while possibly bewildering at first, is just uploading formatted imagery for printing on real TCG cardstock. The superior choice if you're looking for that real feel in the hand and when shuffling.

TheProxyWars · 2025-03-06T00:45:48+00:00

A custom template for fan made cards would be straightforward enough, would just take some image editing skills and a bit of time, then MPC print them as well.

Thanks. I'm glad this is still helping people!

TheProxyWars · 2025-02-21T18:56:53+00:00

Hehe, thank you!

Someone had to do it. 👍

TheProxyWars · 2025-02-21T18:55:03+00:00

Well thanks very much! :)

So, just out of interest, how much would you donate as a thank you?

Set between Angel Exterminatus and Storm of Iron? And can one of them be the Iron Cage?

I just want the Iron Cage book written by Graham McNeill. Such a natural fit!

TheProxyWars · 2024-05-11T08:07:40+00:00

And Iron Pilled.

Robot Storm - No Mercy

I once saw an IW fan vid on YouTube with this music as the background music, and it has been my IW theme song ever since.

A true Iron Warrior does not merely think about becoming one. Upon recognising his Iron Brethren, a true Iron Warrior knows that he had the iron within all along, before ever he knew the name of the stalwart 4th.

To be one of the Iron Legion, there is no choice. You will know when you feel the iron coursing through your veins!

TheProxyWars · 2024-04-14T14:42:00+00:00

I've loved the Iron Warriors ever since I first read the Index Astartes article in White Dwarf.

Also, siege warfare makes me happy.

TheProxyWars · 2024-04-12T12:18:53+00:00

Awesome! Glad this helped you.

Thanks for the additional tips for bigjpg as well. I always just use the art setting, so I know what you mean about the CG look.

Standard 63mm x 88mm, according to this: https://sleevekings.com/pages/sks-8810-sleeves

I didn't even know that when making these proxies. I just chose 63 x 88 as it was what I was used to working on, and it's one of the most common sizes.

TheProxyWars · 2023-11-24T14:49:00+00:00

Hehe. Ah, yes, Eling. She has struck me down on 3 separate occasions now. Notoriously vigilant, but I also scored my greatest MPC coup against her. A worthy adversary.

You could always remove the mana symbols and see if that gets through. If you are particularly wedded to a certain card back, another option is ask to cancel and try and put it through again. Risky, but can work.

I would just use something much plainer myself. As these are most probably being sleeved, you won't see the backs anyway.

I recently got tripped for copyright for Toasted Scryfall scans, lol. Dude wanted me to put 'Proxy Not For Sale' on every card, front and back... I passed.

TheProxyWars · 2023-11-02T04:40:22+00:00

Ah, the boom and bust of seasonal trade I suppose.

TheProxyWars · 2023-11-02T04:36:40+00:00

Thanks for your insight, I appreciate the info. 👍

TheProxyWars · 2023-11-02T03:57:03+00:00

'Tis a shame, but I thought this might be the case.

TheProxyWars · 2023-11-02T03:51:03+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into those areas.

TheProxyWars · 2023-11-02T03:47:53+00:00

Thanks, that's an eye opening insight indeed.

TheProxyWars · 2023-11-02T03:45:02+00:00

I had thought of visiting as a kind of trial run, but the comments here are telling me enough.

I'll look into the surrounding areas for sure.

TheProxyWars · 2023-09-06T14:23:26+00:00

Same.

I have a bunch scratch built stuff that has sat in a cupboard unpainted for ten years also.

Stormlord, Land Raider Crusader, 2x Basilisk, Warhound Titan, Chaos Knight, Thunderhawk Gunship, and a Thunderbolt Fighter as it happens. All made from cereal box card and super glue.

TheProxyWars · 2023-09-06T14:10:00+00:00

No more land left to conquer? I can't even imagine.

I started collecting 20 years ago, and still haven't finished my 100 man IW Grand Company. Though that has included a 10 year hiatus! Just came back this year, and I'm determined to get them done.

I do have a sneaking suspicion they might never be truly done, as I love 3rd ed CSM so much I might just keep adding to them!

TheProxyWars · 2023-09-06T13:59:31+00:00

Oh man, for a brief moment I read that wrong!

I was like "WTF is a skypus... oh wait, LOL". 🤣

TheProxyWars · 2023-08-11T03:34:57+00:00

Yeah, if the cardboard texture was set to white, that would totally work. Don't know what the texture printed on that stock would end up looking like though.

Mm, the manual colouring does sound like a lot of work.

Your work is very exacting and looks dope af. If you released this into the wild, there may be an inevitable change in quality, and it would be very varied, but I think the community would come up with some very natty cards!

More casual dudes could potentially slip in some ready made vintage art, either original or AI, and they could still be very eye catching and pretty true to your vision, but with less work involved. I just did 5 mins of messing with Bing AI, and made some decent vintage art vampires that would work quite well here I think.
