That guy has a lot of beautiful designs. His beastmen look like they would be perfect for Mordheim Cult of the Possessed beastmen.

I made a couple of these in normal paper with spray adhesive and they look great but seem fragile. Mainly, when I pick them up it feels like I might accidentally squish them.
What is the most cost effective way to make more durable ones? I got some photo paper and a few other choices of glue lying around I could try. I also have 110lb cardstock but that seems to thick.

I haven't tried photo paper. Cardstock seems a bit heavy. I haven't done these yet, but on another one of his creatures, heavy copy paper seemed a bit thin, so I just glued the paper to another page of the same thickness and it came out well. I'm not sure if the added strength was more from the added paper, or from the glue layer, but it worked well.

I use matt photo paper for everything excet buildings and vehicles, easy to fold like paper and a little tougher. Gloss photo is even tougher, but I don't like the shine. To make them more durable, a spray with acrylic varnish is excellent, gives the minis a 'plastic' feel. I use the one from games workshop, it's expensive, but lasts for ages. But any acrylic varnish is great. As for glue.....UHU gluestick for laminating e.g. sticking the front and back together and tacky PVA for everything else, you don't realise how good this stuff is until you try it. Looks just like normal white glue but dries much faster and has a lot less water in it. Ednic is a design genius
