Recovering from Easter's chocolate induced diabetic coma, I happened on this little idea - Lindt chocolate boxes for storing 10mm figures.
The low metal tins are a perfect hight for 10mm figures. The box is big enough to fit at least a brigade. The magnetic bases stick nicely to the metal box, not too strong, but enough to reduce movement inside. They stack well as a bonus, making it easy to organise the armies. Disadvantage is you can't see what is inside.
It may be considered psychological warfare if I turn up to a game with boxes of chocolates only to reveal my armies within.
Now all I have to do is eat 30 more boxes of these to fit all the figures in! Another long term project.
