Here at Zhu Industries, we've been been busy developing a range of 2d print-and-play, flat-packed, digit fantasy paper miniatures. So far we have released two sets into the wild,
The Gnorf Wardens of Legend and
The Haemogoblin Könkerors.
The first set The Gnorf Wardens of Legend contains seven paper figures and a sheet containing 3 pieces of scatter terrain.
Gnörves are the weird crusty folk that can be found skulking in hedgerows and generally minding their own business. A cantankerous and curmudgeonly sort, as likely to be grumbling amongst themselves as performing their solemn duties as caretakers and tenders of the the Edgelands, the borders between the cultivated places and the Great Wilds of the world.

Although Vlätkrig is very much grounded in a personal take on the traditional fantasy genre, and old school gaming, the models are heavily influenced by the card figures in Warhammer 2nd Edition designed by John Blanche and the various thematic Citadel Box sets (such as the Night Elf Patrol, or Dwarfs Kings Court, for example). I hope the figures are as much use as 'counts-as' models for other tabletop fantasy worlds, as they are a doorway into the strange world of Vlätkrig.
There are several more sets at various stages of development, including the
Haemogoblin Konkerors which have already been published and I'll do a similar blog-post on those in a while, some Koblings (kind of suburban lesser night goblins), and a modular Ziggurat which may be
Planström instructions, or new designs. When all those elements are done and dusted it will be enough to play Rick Priestley's Ziggurat of Doom scenario for Warhammer 1st Edition. Beyond that goal, plans for Vlätkrig include adding background narratives, scenarios, and some skirmish rules to the current sets. Preparatory sketches are already underway on some unusual undead types, some and the invocation of mysterious Ætheladaru.
