    Frostgrave Combat Cards


    I wish realize this project since a long time... I always wanted to create my own Citadel Combat Cards, the only problem is that I‘m never found a dood application to concretize this project.
    I don’t know if you have already played to Frostgrave? But it’s  frequent to look for the skills of the monsters in the rules book , the Monsters cards are a practical solution to save time during a game.

    If we disregard the painting of the miniatures, the shooting of the miniatures and the editing of cards … The most complicated thing in this project it’s to find the good Fonts. Fortunately, our dear Zhu had the good idea to share its knowledge in Font researche in a discussion on the Oldhammer Forum (Link)
    If you read this article you will understand that it’s question about the Fonts at the top of cards: Friz Quadrata Bold and Helvetica. If you want to try to reproduce these cards, I advise you to parametrize these Fonts in size 44 then to reduce their width to 55 %. So you will obtain a rather close result from  the original Combat Cards.
    Concerning the Font of the skills (titles and values), I did not find them. I managed to reconstitute them with the original Font. A little complicated but it is possible!

      1. Thank you Stuart, I think this project is in mind of many Old School painters/collectors.

    9. Salut Dread, en fait j'utilise Gimp. C'est du photoshop version fr et gratuit me semble t il. J'ai numérisé les quelques cartes originales et après c'est du travail classique de retouche :)

    13. I know it has been a while, but can you explain the symbols and the numeric value on bottom right on the cards? Thanks for the superb job!

      1. Thank you Pedro, the value at the bottom right is the Xp you won when you slain the monsters.
        Symbols are reminders of specials capacities from the bestiary

    14. DR WALE I want to appreciate you for all the good things you did for my family. My parents have been having issues settling themselves, but nothing seems to be working for them. they separated and that gave us the children's some much harder time. We want to see our both parents back together, so we had to contact DR WALE because DR WALE was the man that helped my sister to settle in her marriage when she had an issue with her husband. So, we contacted DR WALE to see if he can bring our parents together. When we reached out to him, He asked us how long our parents have been separated. We told him for SIX years. He said that isn't a problem. After everything was done. We discovered that it was our mother's best friend that did everything to see that our parents weren't together. But all thanks to DR WALE our parents are finally back together. We are united as one big family now. If your parents are divorce and you want them back together DR WALE is the best man to contact. You can contact DR WALE Via WhatsApp OR Viber: +2347054019402 OR Email: drwalespellhome@gmail.com
