Epicarmycard question

[sidewinder]

Does anyone know how to make those cards for ACTA? I'd like to make some myself since the site hasnt been updated in a while.

This is just a guess since I haven't seen Chern on these forums for quite a while...

I would imagine that they are created in Word and converted to PDF using something like PrimoPDF.

 

[sidewinder]

If thats the case then I would need the original word document inorder to make new ones.

 

[Burger]

Shouldn't be too hard to re-create... just a few tables inside tables... oh and the font is called "Serpentine-Bold-Bold", you can download it here.

 

[sidewinder]

How do you do the boxes?

 

[Burger]

You could do it with autoshapes, or just a table with alternating transparent tops and bottoms.

If you like my pattern of the cards like this http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/p...6&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= send PM with mailadress and I sent back one card every P.-Level and Fightercard in power poit.
You may all datas easy update to your ships.
To print them go to handletter - 2 each side.

Actually I used MS Excel 2002 (text boxes are easier to align in this, than in word), converted using Adobe Acrobat Pro, and added writable text boxes in adobe professional, including missile and torpedo option dopdown menus.

I have a template I created in microsoft publisher which mimicks epic army cards format almost 100%. If anyone is interested I can have them hosted somewhere?

I went on a mad spree and made sheets for almost all the ships in ACTA. Printed them off and then laminated them. Then, using non-permanent pens we write and mark our damage on and then just wash it all off when we are finished.

 

[sidewinder]

Yeah, that what I wanted to do eventually. They are small enough to laminate without too much trouble.

For anyone who may be interested, but specifically for Orphanmaker, here is a link to all the Dilgar Fleet cards that I made. For the record, they where based on the format that the guy from EpicArmycards came up with.

Let me know if people can download them ok.

I have other shipcards if people are interested, including ancients and pnp variants.

 

[sidewinder]

Hey Chern, you wouldnt happen to have a template you'd be willing to share?

 

[Taran]

Waaaa! Abbai aren't done and I was about to start an Abbai fleet...

Yes, as the other guy said...
Got a template?
(course, I'd rather use your stuff. It's so pretty...)
