40 CARROTHow do you make printable Warhammer 40K data cards?
40 Carrot generates printable data cards straight from your army: import a list (CSV, pasted text, or a datasheet photo) or build units from the ~2,000-profile database, open the data card generator, and print. Cards are laid out on print-ready sheets with page breaks handled automatically — no design software, no spreadsheet wrangling.
How do you print data cards from an army list?
The generator works from the same army data the tabletop uses, so there's no separate card-building step. First, get your army into 40 Carrot — the army importer accepts CSV rosters, pasted list text, or datasheet photos, and the manual builder covers anything custom. Then open the printable data cards feature, select the units you want, and print from the browser. The print layout uses dedicated sheet styling: each card sheet breaks cleanly onto its own page, and on-screen chrome is stripped from the printout. Because the cards are generated from live unit data, editing a profile updates the card — reprint and you're current. That's the entire pipeline: import, select, print.
What's on each card?
Each card is a table-side reference for one unit, built from the profile you imported or entered: the stat line, weapon profiles, and the details you added in the builder. The goal is a card you can glance at mid-game instead of flipping through an app or a rulebook — the same information the virtual tabletop shows for the unit, in a printable form for your physical games.
Can you make cards for any faction or custom unit?
Yes. The built-in database ships roughly 2,000 unit profiles to start from, and the manual unit builder accepts anything you can stat out — homebrew units, conversions, or profiles the database doesn't carry. Whatever the source, the card generator treats it the same way, so a kitbashed custom character prints just as cleanly as a database unit.
