Another set with great weapon variety. OneMonk does an outstanding job of creating cool figure types, great action poses and great texture/color. This set is great for SciFi and post-apocalyptic gaming!

An extremely useful set of paper miniatures in any fantasy setting.

You get three files with essentially the same images. The main file is one page of twelve full-color, nicely shaded goblins with an enormous variety of different weapons and defenses. There's even a shaman or witch doctor included for use as a leader figure or to add some magical oomph in an RPG. There is enough variety for players to be able to say "I'm shooting at the (whatever) one" and be easily understood.

The secondary file contains the same images without color. If goblins in your campaign world are a different color, or you have two groups of goblins going up against each other, I guess you can use these for kitbashing.

The third file is a .GIF of the same uncolored images (the other files are .PDFs). I had some BIG trouble here -- when I edited this file to customize the images, the resolution wasn't just a little bit lower; it looked a LOT lower, to the point of starting to pixelize. In the end I just called up the .PDF and screencapped it to make my own editable file. Results were perfect.

The last file contains matching slot-bases for these figures. One Monk has either the best or the second-best paper miniature bases I've seen, depending on your point of view. It's a toss-up. WorldWorks bases can slide miniatures in and out easier, but come in a LOT less variety and cost money. One Monk bases work best when you glue the figure in, I've found, but you can get any kind of floor (not just dirt, cobblestone and wood, but multiple choices of indoor and high-tech flooring) and, best of all, One Monk bases are FREE on their website.

Essentially, for the price of one "unit" of goblins, you're getting goblin swordsmen, goblin axemen, goblin spearmen, goblin club-fighters, goblin archers AND a goblin mage. Arrange the appropriate miniatures on the page in the configuration that matches your unit, and there you go. This means all your goblin needs are met in a single package (or at least a sizable percentage of them), and you can draw freely from these troops to design your dream unit.

It might have been nicer if the big section of instructions in the middle was on a separate page, allowing them to provide three rows of four miniatures instead of two rows of six. That would make the page less cramped, and thus make it MUCH easier to cut and paste the figures around to produce the unit you want.

Wow! These trolls are awesome! Need a few good-old-fashioned beasties for your warband or to terrorize your RPG players with? Then these are for you! You get six trolls, both colored and black & white, plus fold-up bases. The only downside? They come with cave floor style bases... I wish they were "grass" style instead. Nevertheless, these trolls are a great value.

These models are a great and inexpensive substitute for plastic or metal minis, especially if you don't have the time to paint or the cash to throw down. For $3.95 you get ten Terran marines (nine plus a leader) in heavy armor with tri-guns and cool fold-up bases to mount them on. The art is good, the figures build easily, and you end up with a pretty nice looking squad. As an added extra, you can download several round and square fold-up bases in different terrain schemes from http://www.onemonk.com/. Don't like the color scheme? Uncolored versions of these troops are supplied in the download for you to trick out as you see fit. Pros: Nice art, easy to build, free bases. Cons: I want more already!

Excellent product. Liked that there were multiple versions of the Slashers. Good detail. Easy follow instructions. Good product line.

A very nice set of figures at a decent price. These Stalkers come in three color schemes and multiple poses. Get the free accessory pack and you can create dozens of completely different (and weird) alien critters to terrorize your enemies with. These critters are three-part models, and I won't lie to you: they are fiddly parts to cut out. However, take your time and the end result is well worth it. Pros: Nice art, three color schemes, free accessory pack. Cons: Fussy cutting. Final verdict: You like aliens? You'll like this set.

A great set of cardstock minis and a whole lot more impressive and dynamic-looking than traditional "tent" style ones. Constructing them is pretty easy: score, fold, glue, cut out. The cutting stage can be a little fussy, but if you take your time you'll find it goes fairly quickly. The bases fold up pretty fast and I was surprised at how sturdy they were. I glued my figures into the bases for a sturdier final model.

The art is a bit cartoonish, and this will certainly turn some people off. Frankly, I like it as it sets these figures apart from a lot of what's out there. The figures are outlined in a heavy black border which serves to give them definition. I recommend using a black felt marker to "edge" the model and cover up the white edges that result from the cutting stage, which really gives you a nice finished model.

Pros: Fairly quick to assemble and they look great. Fold-up slotted bases are a great touch.

Cons: Might be a little cartoonish for some people. Cutting them out can be fussy. $3.95 for 8 figures is a little steep.

Final Verdict: If you like cardstock minis and are looking for something a little different, this set might be right up your alley.

These figures are pretty cool. They look great and are easy to put together. True, these aliens are obviously inspired by Warhammer 40K's Tyranids, but that helps to make them a fast and cheap alternative to metal or plastic miniatures.
