A Permanent Record

Every unique card in the Warhammer 40K CCG is now available in high resolution!

When I first started Pandora Prime Recon, my goal was to create a historical record for the Warhammer 40K CCG: to show people what the game was like and to safeguard this small piece of history in trading card games and the Warhammer 40K universe.

Last year, I was approached by YouTuber and content creator Zarthbenn to help with his project of creating a high-res image database of the entire 40K CCG. Zarthbenn has worked on similar projects with other out-of-print card games such as the World of Warcraft (WOW) TCG and Quest for the Holy Grail CCG. Kudos to him for his tireless efforts in immortalizing so many other card games!

I worked to provide roughly 80% of the card scans for the Warhammer 40K CCG, using my own collection. Although it was a decent amount of work, Zarthbenn did far more work in managing the project and processing every single image. 

I’m happy to write that the project is now complete: every unique card in the 40K CCG is available in high resolution on Zarthbenn’s website. Zarthbenn has also created a Tabletop Simulator mod for people who want to play the game online.

With the completion of this project, the Warhammer 40K CCG will be preserved in perpetuity. We have lost a lot of valuable information to the mists of time, but the game itself will be complete and available for anyone who wants to play and learn more about it.

Thank you to Zarthbenn for running this project and to mephias for helping finish the card database. Additional links below:
