Admit it. No one likes to look at a custom armylist and have units stats look like this;
WS:5
BS:4
S:3
T:3
W:3
I:5
A:2
Ld:9
Sv: 3+
So, that's why we have tables. Tables can make units stats, and even weapons, look professional and look alot like GW's official codices.
First up to bat, we have 40k unit tables. They look like this
Name | Ws | Bs | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Sv | Pts |
Generic Trained Solider | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 7 | - | x |
[table]

[td]7[/td]

[/tr][/table]
Simply replace the stats on the second row with the unit your creating stats. If you want to add another row of stats, for a sergeant for example, add the code below just before where it says [/table]
[tr]
[td][b]Generic Sergeant[/b][/td]
[td]3[/td]
[td]3[/td]
[td]3[/td]
[td]3[/td]

On to....WHFB units! Now, I know this is a Warhammer 40k site, but we do have a good number of fantasy players on the site, myself included.
Fantasy units are very similar to 40k units, only they have a Movement value, while lacking a Sv value. So we just need to adjust the tables a little. Follow the code below and all you need to do is replace the stat values. They look like this-
| M | Ws | Bs | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Pts |
Generic Human | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 7 | x |
Generic Sergeant | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 7 | x |
I added an additional staline, just to show you how it looks.

Like 40k units, if you want to add a sergeant, or an additional stat line, simply add the following code before [/table]
[tr]
[td][i]Generic Human[/i][/td]
[td][i]4[/i][/td]
[td][i]3[/i][/td]
[td][i]3[/i][/td]
[td][i]3[/i][/td]
[td][i]3[/i][/td]
[td][i]1[/i][/td]
[td][i]3[/i][/td]
[td][i]1[/i][/td]
[td][i]7[/i][/td]
[td][i]x[/i][/td]
[/tr]
As we all know, vehicles play an important role in the 40k universe. So, here's a table for them. Like other tables, you can ad an alternative statline by adding the second set of coding before [/table]. Here's a sample
Name | Type | Front | Rear | Side | BS |
Generic Vehicle | Tank | 10 | 10 | 10 | 3 |
[table][tr]
[td][b]Name[/b][/td]
[td][b]Type[/b][/td]
[td][b]Front[/b][/td]
[td][b]Rear[/b][/td]
[td][b]Side[/b][/td]
[td][b]BS[/b][/td]
[td][b]Pts[/b][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Generic Vehicle[/td]
[td]Tank[/td]
[td]10[/td]
[td]10[/td]
[td]10[/td]
[td]3[/td]

[td]Tank[/td]
[td]10[/td]
[td]10[/td]
[td]10[/td]
[td]3[/td]
[td]X[/td]
[/tr]
For walkers, like dreadnaughts and warwalkers, use the following statline-
Name | Type | Front | Rear | Side | WS | BS | S | I | A | Pts |
Generic Walker | Walker | 10 | 10 | 10 | 4 | 4 | 6 | 4 | 2 | X |
[table][tr]

[td][b]WS[/b][/td]
[td][b]BS[/b][/td]
[td][b]S[/b][/td]

[td]4[/td]
[td]2[/td]
[td]X[/td]
[/tr]
Finally, weapons. No army wants to go into battle unequipped. So here's the weapon table-
Name | Rng | S | AP | Type | Special Rules |
Generic Weaponry | 24” | 3 | - | Rapid Fire | - |
Like unit entries, you can add additional rows, by adding the second code before [/table].
