I give you two options. One wait until the whole book is done and
avquire one of the actual printed books I wish to do. OR I can print you
one when its complete. :-)

The army cards will be full color with unit picture. They all be redone
at the end of the books work.

As for deployment in a hidden fashion. I was thinking along the lines
of what warzone did. I full color representation of the unit being
deployed in a hidden fashion, one detachment at a time or one model in
case of a titan or similar unit.

Yes, but not until its all done and it may be relatively more costly
that regular books since the printing run will be small. But all that
infomation I will lay out when the time comes.
