A few more i thought looked good

laugh at them.

still a better option than paying the prices gw charges NZ.
eg:
indexes are 15sterling which is 30ish NZD
but nz gets a buttfuck to the order of indexes being $50

so papercraft, while tacky, is fine in my book, as are 3rd party models - so long as some degree of wysiwyg applies

cuuuuuute

I think they are great for superheavies and large units, which are actually more fragile as heavy plastic.

Smaller units makes me wonder why you dont just print a photo and attach it to a base via popsicle stick.

Found a pdf for a caestus assault ram. What would the time investment for something like this be?

I just realized I could just upload the pdf.

First off you might need better paper than regular printer paper. A friend of mine tried using papercraft IG tanks and the printer paper just didn't seem to fold well enough. If I remember right, it took hours for the guy to build a single tank, so longer than you might think.

If playing against them, I wouldn't mind unless the player is trying to show off or brag about them since it's all someone else's work. Good size appropriate proxies to test builds though

wait this is paper ??

'lo there, fags

>>53665329
at this point why not buy some plasticard

>>53665649
>paper
Get some card stock between 80 and 100 weight for best use. Quality differs between brands.

Also yeah, they are great for testing builds or units out as proxies without looking too out of place or for a larger apocalypse game for super heavies as most people don't own three baneblades.

>>53665713
Plasticard gets pretty expensive for a large model like that if you go 100%. Most papercrafters use it for framing and other parts that need to be more ridged though. Also popsicle sticks work well for support.

>>53665675
Yeah if you look close you can see the creases and folds.

>>53665345
10/10 would field smurfs

Get me some bdsm elf papercraft!~

Now I wanna try these so bad.

Any more of these things? Preferably Forge World stuff?

kek

>>53665509
this shit looks hard af

>>53665189
I did it for years to try out armies or expand them for apocalypse games. You want card stock (110 pound) and edit the PDFs to at least fill in the colors you want

>>53665189
How do you store them to prevent any crush or damage?

They look more delicate than glass

I once made a paper Leman Russ tank. It looked ok.

Arguably tangential but, does anyone have top down flat miniatures of warhammer fantasy/generic fantasy that don't look like they were made in MS Paint?

>mfw you bring this to a GW

It's great for getting started playing with friends and for testing factions. I got into the game with a papercraft chimera, paper leman russ, and paper infantry.

>>53668498
Make them using decent card stock and glue and they'll last for years

>>53666088
We used to have a general for this on /po/ but that was many years ago. I have a good bit of ig stuff saved on an external hard drive

>>53665189
It is more difficult than buying other people's models off ebay.

But probably worth it

I used to . It just feels like too much effort now.

That dreadnought looks fuckin' incredible.

>they try and copyright paper to sue you

>>53665189
If someone popped one of these in front of me to play with, I'd want to know how to make one. A lot more cost effective to make three crisis suits from paper than spend 80 on three suits..

I'd play them, but im an ork player with many parts of his army from the dollar store, or just made out of random trash.

>>53665189
I'd play them over unpainted minis
