While I didn't do any painting today, what I did do was get sent four 9 litre capacity Really Useful Boxes, 400 5x2mm magnets, and five sheets of Warmag A4 sticky-backed ferrous material. Then I spent a good few hours supergluing 398 magnets to my Night Goblin and Skaven armies, and putting them in their new homes:
 |
| Top - 2,000 point Skaven army; middle and bottom - 2,000 point Night Goblin army |
 |
| The Skaven army fits in nicely, but there's not any room for expansion really |
This method is great - secure, easily stored, protected from dust, simple to carry around. The main downsides are that it takes a lot of time to add magnets to a given army, and that it takes at least two magnets for a metal miniature to hold them securely enough that, when turned upside down, they don't fall off. I ended up putting ten on the all-metal Snotling Pump Wagon, and four on the resin Giant. Some of the metals got three magnets if I felt they were heavier than usual.
So now I guess I need to buy some more of everything, especially magnets, as I have an empty 9l box sitting there waiting for toy soldiers...
