Before posting links and some pictures I write one my own little personal consideration. ( Ah! excuse me for my bad english guys )
There are plenty of fantasy paper miniatures, There are a little less sci-fi figures and even less minor genres' figures ( steampunk, noir, WWW ... ) ... but there is still a huge lack of historical paper minis, imho.
So I occasionally give a look in the other half of the (internet) world. On our Russian ( and and not only Russians )friends' sites and forums.
I had already opened another topic about "Papercraft - Paper Soldiers" ( google translate ). But now I like to open a new topic to attract attention on Fergus' ancient warriors paper minis.
All users on Papercraft ( Her Majesty, Colonel, Green, and many others ) are great artists and guys. To draw historical paper figures require more attention. Do not just have a good hand for drawing. But you also need to be accurate in historical details. Must do a lot of information and images' research, and of course know the story.
Fergus' paper figures don't have back art. Too bad. But it is an author's choice and I fully respect this choice when the designs are so beautiful and the sets are free. Of course I expect full front and back art when the sets are commercial and and they are priced. But this is only a my personal opinion, at the end.
In "The era of swords" Papercraft forum's section ( google ) some topics are by Fergus.
2 The ancient Etruscan warriors - Earliest Etruscan warriors (author Fergus) ( translate.google.it/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&prev=_t&hl=it&ie=UTF-8&u=http://papercraft.mybb.ru/&act=url ). As a bonus in this topic there is also a good WW2 german paper minis'set, with front and back. Here.
3 Paper Soldiers: Antiquity - Paper Soldiers: Antiquity (by Fergus) ( google ). In this topic there are all finished ancient sets by Fergus. Trojans, Greeks, Seleucid army, Spartans, Romans ( 700 BC ), Etruscan warriors.
The ancient Etruscan warriors (development kit) Fergus ( translate ). With a lot of historical and graphics research.
5 Ancient Roman soldiers - Earliest Roman warriors (author Fergus) ( google ). idem ( historical research ) as above.
6 Ancient Roman soldiers (development kit) by Fergus ( translate ). Idem again.
8 Spartans - The Spartans (set of miniatures by Fergus) ( google ). Paper minis and research.
Seleucid army - Seleucid army (set of miniatures by Fergus) ( translate ). Paper minis.
Helen of Troy - Helen of Troy ( a game by Fergus ) ( google )- A board game with paper minis.
It's all. Ciao.
