I'm considering trying my hand at making some cheap papercraft minis for some wargaming in a computer game based world (specifically, Dominions 4). I've got loads and loads of sprites from the game (who cares about lowres when a lowres aboleth looks as great as this?), but am wondering about the feasability of printing and using these as wargaming minis. I have access to a printer that can print decently thick paper, but not cardboard.
Specifically, I was wondering about using some "2.5d" effect through making the minis either in three parallel layers (so there's a right, a left and a middle) or at a different angle (like this, but more primitive).
Any suggestions?
