Creating Paper Miniatures for Tabletop Games

Also known as cardboard or paper minis, these are the very cheap alternative to buying handfuls of paintable pewter (or originally lead) or even plastic molded or hand-sculpted figures for gaming. Most minis stand roughly an inch in height, and are set onto a flat base, either round, rectagle, square or even hex shaped, to keep them upright. Games Workshop, Reaper and Ral Partha are among the more traditional names for true packaged gaming miniatures, but today we'll be looking at the little brother of these fine figures.




Printable or "print mini" paper minis are usually printed onto a piece of paper or sometimes thin cardstock that can be fed into a typical ink or laser jet printer - many paper mini users print onto paper first to make sure a mini looks good without having to waste more expensive cardstock, and then cut out and glue or otherwise affix the paper mini to the cardstock, which also adds extra strength, combining the cardstock and the paper.
