Would love to see a video on how you make your paper minis. Mine don't fold up as neat

I truly need a video on how you make your minis and bases 😂❤

I love my plastic crack, and my 3D printers love to go “brrrr”, but you do make a great argument for paper minis and terrain…

Easily portable minis and terrain showcase, actionable advises. Great video!

For me personally, I LOVE paper minis. I’m about playing a ton of factions and I don’t have the space to buy a lot of different models. So paper minis work for me. Saves space, inexpensive, and I can play whatever factions I want. Thank you for the video! Your minis look outstanding

Highly inspired by this video, has brought back the love of TT war games Thank you.

This is a great idea! I'd love to know what paper stock and cutters you use.

This is a great idea! Time to put together a budget I think this would be really useful to just sorta whip out at a family or friend gathering and ask if anyone wants to play a quick game if there's time. I can already see this seeing some use with my younger family members and college friends

Dude, you have to check out Peter's Paperboys!

This video is a vibe. wonderful production. I'm loving seeing the wargame crowd supporting more paper minis as a way of making it easier to get closer to the hobby.

When making a new army paper minis are great to try out. Looking for an easy way of making some bases that are a bit more sturdy then folding them though, as i often end up goving them away so others can tey the army out.

Mf terrain be looking 12x better than my grey plastic collection. And he's spittin facts.

Love the video thanks for posting!

wonderful informative video!

Great work promoting paper mini's. Resin/plastic mini's are ridiculously expensive these days. Convincing younger players that they are good enough to use instead of the "real thing" though is a different matter!

Great job with the impressive paper minis!

Nice music but it's more suited to a high-end wine bar experience. Clever idea though. thanks for the vid.

Pretty cool table.

Great Video! Crooked Staff Terrain and Paper Forge are also making great 2D products.

I use paper minis for DnD as well. Great for traveling.

Honestly I feel you would be a cool guy to play a session with :-)

2:00 if you ever come to Houston, do NOT leave a backpack in a locked car unless you want to lose both the pack and the windows.

The hottest thing about paper minis is that they can have two prints for each side. Since I play more strategy games than rpgs I had to learn to differentiate all my minions by their backside 😅

When you revealed the secret of your table I was actually shocked. Grade A stuff!

looks very nice. Pls make a video how u build this

Cool video!

Thank for the video! I'll have to check out Dave Graffam, cause that terrain looks awesome Can you share a bit of the process you used to make it? I love the idea of having a binder of terrain but I'm not quite putting together all the dots on how to make the terrain flatten out like that

Love the idea of bringing paper standees into wargaming. Your minis look professional and beautiful, nice work. I also made my own with FDM printing and label paper cutted with a hobby plotter. 20 minis in one hand. Can't beat the space efficiency and sometimes they have better contrast than a painted mini. Also love that you went papercraft style with the terrain. Terrain is such an important feature for wargames, because they give game design tactics. Also wondered why the tt wargame community looked down on papercraft for terrain and found it to be stuck up. Paper standees and terrain give young people an ally more active and creative and create their own things. Which teaches creativity and taking things in you own hand. You are not just a mindless consumer. Also: it shows that you don't need to be fully rigged with expensive and sophisticated materials to play the game. The fun is in the foreground. Honestly I think wargamer are such a cool crowd, but they some times seem elitist, because of the amount of work and money that go into playing games, when you hear people saying "I don't play with players with unpainted minis or proxies". Wargaming tradition used to be very different than that. So you could say "what stops people from simply playing with papercrafts?", but it dismisses the perception of people on how to play the game "the right way", increasing entry barrier. So I really like the example you are setting.

Salutations-great job! Firstly, while you are not the first person to use paper miniatures it’s always good to see the ingenuity of individuals to make the hobby more accessible to the masses. Secondly, while to date I have never personally used OPR(have nothing against it), do they offer something akin to Legion Imperialis? If they do how do you generate 15mm paper minis for that game(or any similar game) that can be useable on the table-do you print them out on a heavy card stock for stability? Thirdly, the walls you have travel on one axis. How do you handle 2-sided walls or 2 to 3 story walls(I don’t know if OPR has rules for that)?Lastly, are those Gibsons🎸 in the background-cannot see because of the bokeh😀. Thx!

Given the difficulty in fidning X-wing minis now, this might be a great way to fill out and use all those card bases i got from teh conversion kits.

Hey man. Just found your channel tonight and subbed. I like it. Good content well presented. I gotta ask.... what is that guitar behind your left shoulder in this vid? It's beautiful.

Love making paper minis. My 3D printer can't handle printing minis. Paperforge is great.

Paper/Card doll minis is definitely a way to go with minimal hobby behind it, but I dunno. I still like actual minis and all that. Even for demo games.

Papercraft minis are a great way to get started, especially for new players. The portability you've got here is intriguing though. What do you do to the buildings so they survive repeated folding and unfolding?

Thanks for the video. I'm new to all gaming.

Yes someone else expressing the vitues of 2D printing! Which what no one takes about is how cheap and fast it is to have littlerly thusends of 25mm minis! Like I can fit a good hundred or so on a page and have an ecotank printer so I pay $35 for 4 bottles of ink and even with my old inkjet being $100 it was faster so more cost efftive because time... Not that a single sheet costs all that much time mind you and alternivly you could just write the name of the unit on note paper and use them which has to be the cheapest way to wargame beyond theater of the mind.

Thanks for the video. I have not seen many paper minis. But one time I did, the paper mini's were cut and stood in a unique way. It is hard to describe since I don't know what that style is called. Bear with me. Imagine one mini. The mini is made of 2 cutouts. One cutout has a cut from the middle-top, down to the center. The other cutout has a cut from the middle-bottom, up to the center. The two cutouts slide into each other from their cuts. It looks appealing to see the paper cutout from any position on the table and it stood upright reliably. If you know of this paper mini version, what is your opinion on them?

i need new printer, what would you reccomend that doesnt break budget?

The question is not why should you, but why should you not. One look at my home, and it is clear I CAN afford models. But, I sure ain't in a hurry to become a cash slave to GW. Nor Hasbro either. Paper minis are fun, and the weight is nice and storage simple. I have gone from 35th scale to 48th scale to 72nd scale in the search for how to collect more and not need a larger home. I've even considered GHQ and 285th scale. So, yeah, it should be no surprise I have a growing collection of paper wargaming. For someone to scorn my paper for a wargame, would be to laugh at them and tell them, fine, play with yourself.

You said in the video that you took your setup to the beach. Surely paper minis and scenery would blow over in the wind if you play outdoors?

no shade at the amazing terrain and minis that folks and companies craft, but its paper dolls for me, cheap, iterative, and kindling when you tire of it. Hadn't found onepagerule yet though, a great resource! cheers mate.

I love paper minis too but I'd scrap the idea of using them to play in a park. It's true they are cheap and quick to make but you don't want to be replacing them after every session. Wind is the bane of my existence.

Why Not? Because i will lose every „pile“ of shame competition…

Hear me out... use your imagination. Free your mind. Free yourself from miniatures.

This whole comment section, and the channel its attatched to seems to be doing more to destroy wargaming than making it accessible for everyone. If you print your models(paper or otherwise) and then dowload the rules you are essentially stealing from the creators. Heavy dislike.
