Subject: Infinity Custom Unit Cards from Natakue's Corner! Again! :)
OK here we go,again! Natakue's corner is now releasing it's new unit cards! After testing and throwing ideas around this is what we came up with.
(picture of just one card)
These cards are very printer friendly and are spot on if you ask me. It took some time for me to get it right and to be honest I went through two other versions before I got these but, they are here. These cards are 100% free and can be downloaded right now at my new Infinity Card site. Right now all I have is one unit from each army minus Mercs and Tohaa and I plan to release one unit from each army at least once a month for sure but, I hope to do more if time permits.
Each unit will be released with cards for units with miniatures and once a new figures come out then more cards will be added for that unit. Meaning that if there is no miniature for that unit with that configuration then there will be no card till one is made. Each unit will be released on one or more sheets that contain up to 6 cards per sheet that can be cut out and used. I recommend that these cards be printed out on 110lbs card stock and printed at a kinkos or laser printer for best results. Now these cards can be printed on normal paper and an inkjet printer since they are printer friendly but they will not look the best. Just being honest here... Also I recommend that the cards be placed in some sort of protector like a baseball card protector. This will help make the card last longer.
As for the sheets, on the site you can download the sheets you want or download them all as I release them in one big .zip file.
You can follow the site, my blog, or my YouTube channel for more info on these cards as i release them.
Very, very cool... i could quibble about the text justification in the weapon stats making the columns not line up... but really, it's just too cool to care about that
So many games, so little time.
So many models, even less time.
Screw it, Netflix and chill.

Yeah that bugged me to...and I went back to see what I could do. In the next batch that will be resolved and I'm learning more about Photoshop. Thanks for the comment!
OK well it's time for release #2! On this release I changed the way the weapons were displayed a little via the feedback I was given on the first release. This I hope will ease all the confusion with ranges. I will go back and update the others later.
Units in this batch are: Garuda Tacbot
1er Regiment de Para-Commando
Iskaller
Ghulam
Securitate
Karmau
Zhanshi
Next batch I'm thinking about doing some T.A.G.s what do you think?
It's great that you are tying pictures of the models to the rules - I think that is one of the biggest problems sometimes, knowing which models are actually which

Thanks! That is one of the main things that I wanted to do.
Not sure if I should do this. I now have had two requests to release the master template for the cards so other can work on them. Any thoughts on this?
I'm just not sure. My time is limited and yes I know that it will take a long time to get them all done but I do not want any one on the net to take credit for what I have done but, that has not stopped the users from asking. I understand that in order to get this done I will need help but who out there will help? There is no money involved in this and it will help the gamer's out by having them so should I be worried? These are the questions I'm asking my self when it comes to the cards. Do you have any ideas?
The problem is that unless they are comprehensive (as in, I can have at least half of my squad covered by them) then it is hard to justify using them. Having a snazzy card for only one of my models, unless it is a TAG or other special, isn't much use when I have eight other models not covered by it. I mean, I want to have a consistent scheme that I follow, rather than two different methods. So I'd recommend trying to get a small team on board, and perhaps trying to do it with factional releases - each month pick a faction and release a bunch of cards for them. Does that make sense?

That makes perfect sense and I would love to do that. I just don't know of any one that would be willing to help. If you know of any one let me know please and I will see what I can come up with.
Charles Rampant wrote: How does the process work? It sounds like you do complicated stuff with photoshop, which might rule a lot of chaps out.
Most of the work has already been done. I have a master template that all I do is input the data, change the unit picture and add weapons. The hard part is the Unit picture and the weapons. Since I changed up how I display the weapons I have to make a template for all the weapons and I have not had the time to get them all 100% done so I have been doing them as I go. But I could modify the whole template so that it would not be a huge problem with the weapons.
Well maybe one way to do it then is have one or more people input the stats and select the weapon for each card, send it to you, and then you double check everything and add the unit picture. That way each card should be correct, and you can production line them. I wouldn't mind helping out, provided that it didn't take too much time out and didn't require specialist software.

I use Photoshop because that's what I know but I think there is other software out there that will work. Send me a PM and we can talk more about it.
Ok an update one the cards. I found one person that will help and hes going to start off working on PanO and do the whole army. Still looking for more to help out with other armies so we can get these cards out as fast as we can. I'm going to be focusing on Nomads so we need other to focus on the other armies. I will provide the template and all you will have to do is add the data. If your interested please let me know.
These are awesome and as a newbie to Infinity I greatly appreciate them.

Definitely want to show my support for this, excellent idea! Can't wait for my troops to show up as I will be printing these off for sure (as will my friends no doubt)

I made some templates in CS6. They took some time but they make it easy to create the cards. The main problem is getting all the weapons on the template...I still do not have them all.
I have no experience with Adobe but if I were to get a copy could you maybe send the templates to get started? Like I said I'm new to the game with my Wife and would benefit greatly from these.

I'd be happy to chip in - I play Combined Army, so how about I take care of them?
...of course I'm being nakedly self-serving... whats your point?
GREAT! Send me a PM and we can work together!

OK I know its been a wile since I released a new set of cards. I promise that they are coming but it have been real busy for me the last few weeks. But it has got me to thinking. I have enlisted two guys that are helping create the cards for PanO and CA but what if I made a super template that would allow you to make your own card when you wanted it. Would you go for that?
