Awesome card design

This is the latest draft, it's been added to the OP as well.

Basically updated all the original elements and added in a couple more.  I'd say we're just about there now.

You can find the full version here: http://bit.ly/JgGKbA

 When you do make these, could you please make a separate card for the Bot hunters/ Tank Killers with change in weapon lines, instead of an upgrade +3pts option.

Rock On! Looks great, text is fine for me.

 Looks great! Thanks for the hard work. 

 By Jove, I think he's got it!  To the Production Cave Batman!

 i would use * instead of S for spray weapons otherwise perfect.

Interesting idea.  I guess my only concern is that in future releases they might have other funky effects that also use a symbol, so if I use a letter, it will always be clear (hopefully), what it stands for.

When I started to fill out The Hammers unit I found a few more things that needed tweaking, and also discovered that because of the graphic not having a plain white background, I needed to move the AP somewhere else.  That upper space seems perfect.

So, in the OP is now Version 1.0 of the layout. And the first official unit card: The Hammers. If anyone can see any issues with the rules or can suggest a more succint description, let me know. Keep in mind, I want to include ALL rules details, but I want to do it in the shortest amount of words, while remaining clear to a new player.

More units coming soon. Once I know for sure that this format suits several units types, I'll put the PSD online. No point in doing it now and have several of you put work into filling in unit information, just to have me change the format on you again.

LOVE it! Can't wait to get a set and use them to crush . . . I mean to unify the Earth! :)

Which faction are you playing these days?  Zombie Axis? :)

I also added the little blue medal to show which model is the Leader in the unit.  Forgot to mention that.

Think I'm just gonna scrap work on my own cards and go for these when released. Beautiful work, Rodney.

Only (stupidly minor) quibble at this point is the placement of the Dust Warfare logo. For some reason, the fact that it's neither centered on the card or the piece of paper it's stamped onto is distracting me every time. On cards with many rules it'll be a complete non-issue, but on this one it's bugging me. Again, it's a stupidly minor quibble and I tend to take full advantage of the cards regardless. May even grab the PSD when available and stick photos of my own painted units (when finished) on the cards.

If you need any help propagating the book to the cards let me know. I'm pretty handy with the Photoshops.

These look Amazing!  One little point… Hammers are 28 AP

Thank you for these cards!

I know what you mean :)  I had the logo in the center for awhile as well, but as I thought it could make the text a little harder to read, I decided to move it to the section of the paper with the least amount of text, even when the card is full.

I guess practical concerns won out :)  Thanks for the comments though and I'll be looking for your help with the Photoshops soon!
