one more thing, they are looking great, reckon there is another symbol to track critical hits for applicable units? (mostly big war engines like battle titans and gargants)

Well you could just put a mark in the headline for the crit. There is no fixe dvalue for number of crits and I am too lazy to calculate the maximum numbers for each WE

Thanks! I have finished the ground units for the Space Marine forces and noticed a small error in the Tournament Pack. The Reavers Carapace Mount is listed as Fwa but should be listed as FxF. I will update with pictures when I have finished the Marines completely :)

I have finished the Space Marine units. Next up will be Imperial Navy.
Please note: I have removed all images as I want my own units as pictures for them. The files are smaller this way, too.

I messed up sizes, these are in fact too small. I redesigned them to fit magic the gathering cards for those who want to glue em on top or sleeve them.

I also tried my best to adjust the working file to make it more user friendly, but Visio is a pretty uncommon, if open format. Even different versions of Visio aint compatible.
So, I will have to replace all PNG files with SVG files so that the SVG export of the whole file works. You still have to install the font, though. Apparently PDF export is a pain as it only allows up to 300dpi (I guess, there is no value you could type) and I would prefer 600dpi. So SVG, but that is no container format and all PNG look either like rubbish (Libre Office) or are lost completely (Inkscape).

Will take a while though :(
Anyone with scripting skillz for a web based generator of these cards would be ace!
So far its bloody handcraft

I have finished reworking the cards. I still have failed to create a database source <-> card client connection as Office tools are not really suited for this kind of work. Anyone who wants to create a more suitable data format, eg. a tex file or a css file, feel free to use my work as a basis. It is released as Creative Commons anyway.
The reworked files are available via Google Drive:

For a screenshot of the current design, see the first post of this thread.

Here is a screenshot of the difference between PNG and SVG, btw:

Left: SVG
Right: PNG

Dave gets the TP stats from miniwars JSON. I imagine the layout could be done with a JavaScript library but I would imagine writing the SVG layout bit would be a bit time consuming. In theory it could be a webapp though.

Well, the SVG coordinates are already there. It is definitely possible to parse a blank card and add the different values at certain points. Feel free to modify to your hearts content.

Almost done with Tau 3rd expanse, will send it to you Largo_W when done, so that you can add them to the main document.
