flyinghippo Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Ever since I've first shown my army list made in photoshop people have been asking how I made it and if I could make one for them. So I decided to start this topic. Black Templars http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/7900/bttemplatejpgsmall4za.jpg Daemon Hunters http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/8867/dhtemplatejpgsmall7vr.jpg Iron Warriors http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9995/iwtemplatejpgsmall8of.jpg **pic fixed** Witch Hunters http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/2678/whtemplatejpgsmall4ze.jpg I plan to also make a template for all the major chaptors (UM, DA, SW, BA and BT) and for most of the legions (TS, WE, DG, EC and BL and maybe some of the other ones) So heres how you can put your list onto these templates... 1: Adobe Photoshop If you have photoshop, just make a new text box on both the very top (where the colour image is) and type out your army list name (ie. Iron Warriors, 4th Grand Co. , 1000 pt). Than make another textbox in the blank part and type your list out there. fairly straight forward. 2. Microsoft Word You can also use Microsoft Word (other word processors would probably work too). Change the borders to 1/2" then insert the image. Change the text wrapping (it looks like a little dog with lines going through it) and change it to "behind text". Next, insert a text box, then right click on the edge and then select "format text box". Then change the fill colour to "no colour" and the line colour to "no line". For the text I used the font: Extemplary, which can be found here And also if anyone else with photoshop would like to help me make some more templates for verious armies give me a PM or email EDIT: fixed IW template, was too big.

flyinghippo Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 I've done a couple so they only take me a couple minutes each. Most of the work is in finding the images themself and if I have to modify the symbol in the top left (ie the WH one was actually taken from the griffon games transfer sheet which I modifyed to make it look like marble or something. Space Wolves http://img307.imageshack.us/img307/5813/swtemplatejpgsmall4nv.jpg Dark Angels http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/3793/datemplatejpgsmall5ci.jpg Just noticed I forgot to colour the DA top image and de-colour the bottom...

Rymeer Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I'd like to request a list page for my DIY chapter, the Crusading Lions. Perhaps, for the artwork, you might look to the first few pages of B&W artwork in the BBB. There is a very nice lion statue attacking some alien creature, in the upper right hand corner of the two page piece. In the lower left corner it reads (in white lettering): The Armies of the Imperium. Just asking, Rymeer Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84742-army-list-templates/#findComment-979592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyinghippo Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Who's next? EDIT: too slow... @Rymeer: send me the artwork (my email's in my sig) and I'll do it for you. I need 3 pieces for each army list; 1 for the top, an army badge and another for the bottom-right corner.

Brother Gothard Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 What about a nice, generic, non-denominational Space Marines army list sheet? Something with no UM stuff, or w/e for all of the Index Chapters without the creative skill to create their own artwork? ^_^ If it please you, Mr. Hippo, sir.

Brother-Librarian Swintha Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Could we post some of our lists here that we made from the templates on this thread? You know to kinda advertise the nice ness of them? ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84742-army-list-templates/#findComment-979609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-][-Danek-][- Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 It'd be much appreciated if you made a Night Lords one. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84742-army-list-templates/#findComment-979645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Collector Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 That's awesome!! Can you make one for Grandfather Nurgle as well with a nice slimy Death Guard theme?

rat of vengence Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 May the Emperor bless your wings and your great wallowing body, o Flying Hippo. :blush: Truely impressive. I second the request for a generic one, or even a template we could play with ourselves? I do not know how these are done, but keen to find out! Failing that, I might create some artwork for my chapter if you are still taking offers... :) RoV Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84742-army-list-templates/#findComment-979818 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyne Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Very, very nice! This will make your list that much cooler when attending to tournaments... people will fear my list before they even read it! Anyway, It'd be cool to have a thread like this 'stickied' with just the images for all chapters that you do, so it doesn't get lost in the warp or something... Ps: thanks for the Inquisitorial ones, I'm off putting them to good use...
