HI I hope this is in the correct section .
Would it be possible to create downloadable pdfs with printable models in them ? I was talking to a friend the other day about trying out some war-gaming and he was asking if there were any printable paper models . I didn't know of any available for fantasy gaming , but there are a few available for 40k , which for him worked as we were looking at giving kill team a try .
I got to thinking it would be nice if there were printable paper models available . for an example of what i am talking about take a look in the home brew section under Amazons , they have some Amazon archers available .
I understand this would be alot of work , but it would offer serious benefits .
primarily it would reduce the cost of entry into the hobby to $0 . this would be fantastic for getting new people into the hobby , and it would allow existing players to try out other armies they may not have the models for . On the same line it would allow existing players to try out units before committing $$ to them .
I can see some people objecting , and not wanting to play against a paper army , but I think eventually people who play will want real models , and will make the shift to real models . The paper models would act as a bridge for them getting into the hobby . Personally i do not care I am just happy to have someone to play against . I have several friends that are interested but they are just not willing to invest the $$ upfront into the game .
The idea is not with out precedent , there were official paper models for 40k back in the day , I have several old white dwarf mags that have paper punch out units in them .
Pathfinder has started to release sets of paper models printed on thick card stock which contain all the monsters in their monster manuals .
Has the idea been floated before ?
