Does anyone know of anywhere on the web that I could find a good picture of
a planet, suitible for printing out on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper?
Something like the one that apparently came in the Battlefleet Gothic box? I
have a few domes prepared for scratchbuilding worlds, but it would be a lot
easier to store and transport something flat.

If all else fails, I can cobble something together, but I am utterly incable
of creating something that would look even vaguely three
dimensional -- depth and shading are just a little bit beyond my meagre
skills.

Beautiful! Thank you! Following some links on the page, I eventually found the
following as well:

Only two planets on the page at a time, but they look great.

There isn't a link on my website yet, but I just put one up at:

http://members.toast.net/chanfaunce/planet1.jpg

It's meant to print out to 4" square at 300 dpi, but can be easily scaled up
or
down as needed. I hope to put up a gas giant and cratered-surface one
soon, but I'm trying to do these as procedural shaders instead of just texture
mapping them.

If anyone on the list can use the Ray Dream shaders, feel free to contact me
off-list.
