paper as in like pieces of paper printed and held up by clips? those are just paper or cardstock with clips beneath them, usually printed with some type of digital art (get permission from the artist if youre going to use the paper minis in any way other than private play) unless you mean like origami minis which sounds impractical
Are you saying you're currently using paper figurines as a cheap and quick fix, but you are looking for good options for actual miniatures (if so, preferably in Europe since it looks like you live in Belgium)? Or are you looking for resources to improve your paper army with better looking but still paper standees?

Want to start playing but don't have anyone to play with? You can try these options: [link].
That said, if you're in Europe shipping is often a killer when you order direct from US-based companies, so you may want to check online stores from the UK (until Brexit is done, unless a trade agreement gets made after all), Germany or France - like elementgames.co.uk or miniature-heroes.co.uk. The Netherlands has one or two as well if I recall, don't know about Belgian ones. Simplest is probably checking amazon (try them all - .co.uk, .de, .fr, .nl): you'll find a lot of Reaper and other models on there.
Local stores that sell minis are rare these days, but you might find one near you. Hard for them to compete with online stores in terms of price and range, but I do like to support local businesses that are still trying to promote the hobby. Take a look around, can't hurt to try. You probably will still be able to find a Warhammer brand store - often absolutely beautiful minis, but bloody expensive.
Alternatively, customize-your-own-mini operations like Hero Forge usually offer buying the .stl file instead of your physical mini. If you have (access to) a 3D printer you can use, that's a relatively cheap option to get a mini you can create yourself from a wide range of options (no shipping/handling/customs cost, but there is still the cost of the printer and filament).
it depends on what you are looking for. i have a mixture of 3d printed minis (i bought from etsy), some wizkids minis (i bought from amazon, but can be picked up from various places) and some minis from games workshop/warhammer (depending on if the shop has rebranded yet). all of these have been player characters, but i have some skeleton's from Warhammer fantasy they would work as enemies as i think there was 10 in the box
How was your experience with buying off of Etsy? I am looking for some larger more set piece / boss type minis, like giants for example, I've seen some awesome looking ones on Etsy but I don't know anyone whos bought minis off etsy before.
I bought some totrle minis, and it was an alright experance, took some shopping around sellers to find a price I was willing to pay and a while for it to arrive. I am in the UK and the sellers that had what I was looking for were USA based, so the mini might have been decently priced but the shipping was a killer. An example of this was, I was also looking for a fire genasi, that I didn't get, as the mini was about $5 but shipping was going to be $42.
I bought them around new year and have since found some UK based sellers that sell similar minis, not the same but ones that fit the same theme, and they are about the same for the mini but obviously cheaper on the shipping.
Their last KS was pretty good as well and can be picked up as an add on for this one. Great value for the amount of miniatures you get. Might be worth watching for future projects also.

Hi,
I'm quite new to DND 5E and currently I am helping myself to printed paper figurines.
Is it possible to help me out with some good links towards great online shops, 3D prints, DIY pages, ... to help me out?
many thanks!

Good question :)
I am actually looking for good, decent miniatures (so not expanding my paper army)
Thanks for the help.
I'll link to a short list from Geek and Sundry first: https://geekandsundry.com/where-to-get-the-perfect-rpg-mini/. Reaper really has a massive catalog.
