Used to be able to pick up dozens of paper armies for free. That was 10-15 years ago. Just use your printer. I doubt you can find those anymore. The ones shown here do look better quality.

Thanks. I know of quite a few other sources for printable figures/terrain (World Works, Fat Dragon, One Monk, etc.), but I hadn't heard of this place.

If you print them use the thickest paper you can find. They have 40 ib at Amazon.

I'd actually recommend printing on cardstock. It's still cheap, it'll work in pretty much any printer, and it's more durable than regular papers. The generic stuff I use is 110lb.

I wasn't sure if cardstock could be used in my printer.

These WoFun paper figures on plexiglass seem to have really taken off. They seem to be adding eras all the time.
