Paper Soldiers

This thread at RPG.net on cheap alternatives to minis points to this great collection of paper miniatures. They're historical, not fantastical, so no dragons or orcs. But you do get a wide array of soldiers from many different time periods, ships, siege engines, and bits that you can use in the art program of your choice to mix-and-match.

The quality can be a bit hit-or-miss, but you can't argue with the price! And the pics themselves can certainly be lifted for use as online minis with systems like OpenRPG.
