Not sure where you can get it unfortunately (hope someone here knows). But - be warned it may not be copyright free as far as US Games is concerned. I think there are whole threads about this. If you can't find them I can try to dig out my links to sites that give detailed information on what people think is the actual copyright position (it isn't that clear in fact).

As far as I can tell, there is no problem if you are just making something for your own use, but please check the legal position before beginning a deck for sale based on "copyright free" RWS images - it would be horrible to do work and then run into trouble.

Anyway - I think other people here can also advise

The following web page gives a pretty thorough run down on the copyright situation:

P.S. The website also includes black and white images of the whole RWS deck.

I've had no problems thus far but in light of new information am rethinking offering the RWS on a t-shirt.
