I really wouldn't mind most of those books! Be it on the web or via CD or DVD disc, I would love a copy of them! Some of those would be hard to come by!
Cheers
Chris

Update:
Got another mail today. The resolution should only be 72 dpi. Can you resize the PDFs without having to re-scan everything Primarch? Unfortunately there's no update on exactly what they want.
...perhaps we could make a vote here for what articles people want to see?
Cheers!

I can't do it....
Files get compressed from 115 MB for Armies of the Imperium to 30MB at 72 DPI, B&W.
Not that these CDs were ever at my house - figmant of my imagination 
Don't wanna sound heretical in any way shape or form by doesn't Jervis just link to the NetEPIC files? They are pretty close and small downloads....

I think the main thing of interest is some of the old pics from old WD articles, battlereports, scenarios, painting guides and stuff.
The big problem is really that these are all full scans ie. one giant image on each page. If the images are cut out and pasted into a new document and the text rewritten/extracted (using a program that can do that) the files will become much smaller. OTOH a full army book is much larger than your normal WD article so perhaps the size is usable for those as is? (i hope that made any sense... not sure I understand what I just wrote myself  )
Cheers!

Hi!
I have no problem rescanning the everything in 72 dpi, but I do need to WHAT does he want.
If you can get a straight answer from Jervis I can oblige.
On a side note is there any way of re-sizing the files?

*** Does anyone know the exact contents of the current Eldar warhost boxed set? ***
I know it has 2 sprues of guardians and aspect warriors, but I don't know which aspect warriors or how many of each. I've held off on getting any Eldar infantry since the release of E40k, because the last thing I need are more guardians. I already have enough for almost 4 complete warhosts, per SM/TL TO&E. Also, are they the same minis as before?
I'm ashamed to say that one of the things that I never got around to buying before they were discontinued way back when was a bunch of aspect warriors. Every time I see the old Eldar warhost on ebay, I get outbid. So, I've resigned myself to resorting to getting the new ones. ?
Any help is greatly appreciated! ?

I haven't got the new spure but AFAIK it is a re tooled E40k version with the Harlequins replaced with more Scouts.
I THINK one box should contain the following stands:
2 Dark Reapers
2 Scorpions
2 Banshees
2 Hawks
2 Warpspiders
2 or 3 Wraithguard
a couple of Exarchs and Warlocks
4-6 stands of jetbikes (depending on how you base them)
4 stands of Scouts
A whole bunch of Guardians
FireDragons and Dire Avangers are bought as metal models with 4 stands of each type + 2 of each typpe exarch to a blister.
Buying 2 boxes of infantry + the blister would give you one formation of each type aspect Warrior according to SM2/NetEpic rules.
...At least I think so.... 
Cheers!
