Here's the nitty gritty costs of this system. Of course, you could leave out the extras to save even more money! NIGHT LORDS ($136 before taxes) 100 infantry and 24 vehicles (With room for more) 4x Small Boxes = $34 4x Med Boxes = $56 8x Metal Sheets = $16 2x Carrying Straps = $30 THOUSAND SONS ($26 before taxes) Magnus, Daemon Prince, Rhino, Helbrute, 37 Infantry 1x Small Box = $8 1x Large Box = $14 2x Metal Sheets = $4 Chaos Knights ($40 before taxes) 6 Questoris, 6 War Dogs (With room for more) 2x X-Large Boxes = $32 4x Metal Sheets = $8 Adhesive = $8 (Was enough for ALL my boxes)

What magnets do you use on the models?

@lovedeathdice Ай бұрын

@@Adventurerblitz I use neodymium ones for everything. You could buy a bulk amount from Cobalt Keep for a reasonable price or if the model is sturdy enough Harbor Freight has some magnets I like for $3. They're just stupid strong so don't use them on fiddly models like nighthaunt

This is awesome! I use the knock boxes from Sam's but they only have small and large, super stoked to find where to get mediums with the bonus organizer. I use flexible magnetized sheets from Total Element, which are very cheap but dont have as strong as a bond to magnets as the galvanized steel, so definitely going to try that too. Glad to have found your channel!

Thanks for beeing in my recommended. This was exactly what i needed (some adjustments had been made becasue i liive in the NL) but i speded about 10 euro total to get everything (excluding magnets) many thanks. my models and logistics smile everytime i see the box wiith the orginised units

Don't worry UK bro's. Really useful boxes are made in the UK so they're a lot cheaper for us. You can find them £4-5 for an 4 Litre and £6 for a 9 litre.

I found double sided gorilla tape is better than any sort of liquid glue/caulk. For me whenever the bin would concave slightly the metal would pop out due to the glue not moving with the bend.

You should try riveting a hole in each corner and using a hand riveter. That way you don’t have to mess with gluing the steel sheets down.

You can also buy "Ferrous sheets" - currently I can see a pack if ten A4 Size for £15 - that's 10 x "Letter paper size" for you US folks. (i.e. they fit snugly in a RUB). Think of this as basically a rubber sheet infused with iron, so it is not magnetic itself, but will allow magnets to stick. They also come with sticky backing, so you just peel that off and stick it in. I've used this across my several armies and RUBs. They work great.

Good recommendation. I was already getting those stacker boxes at Sam's club for a decent price for the large and small. Haven't seen the medium tho.

Curious how you are magnetizing your vehicles. Just drilling and adding magnets directly into the bottom of the tank treads or is there something else going on there? Thanks for the video.

Right on the money. I drilled out 4 holes on the bottom of each vehicle tread and super glued them in.

One thing I'm noticing about those knock off boxes is that the handles don't protrude up over the lid as much as the RUBs do, so there's less chance of accidentally unlatching it.

I prefer their Top Notch stackable bins, the clasps and box are a lot sturdier, especially the lid. they come in a couple of different sizes, so be aware of that if you want to stack them. the 21x15 can perfectly hold 2 of the cardboard trays that come in larger GW sets side-by-side. the top part (which you can buy individual bins of the same size) have adjustable dividers. I cut up and folded some graph paper (easy to cut and trim to size with lines already there) so that the spindly bits of my admech wouldnt get caught on the divider grooves, and they slide less on the paper since i dont use magnets.

@ReallybigGoblin Ай бұрын

Oooohhh, the straps are neat to learn about. Pretty much do the same thing with my RUBs and the steel flashing. However, instead of gluing the sheet, I just blue tacked it inside in case I ever wanna use the sheet for a different bin or use the box for something else. Glue for the sheet on the lid still makes sense however.

@gloomforged Ай бұрын

CH11 is just a debt reorganization. While you might lose a local store here or there, but they aren't going out of business. Personally, I spent the extra for the RUB's. You can get 4 packs of the 2 most common sizes from staples for a pretty reasonable price if you don't mind solid black. The flashing I get fits great with no modifications needed. I also feel like I'll always be able to get the RUB's when I want more. The superstackers seem like something that could go away at any point.

It's definitely worth the pain. Also, a lot of people will tell you to just paint the whole model as whatever trim color you want, and then fill in the rest with blue. Personally I have an easier time with doing the trim last since it's a raised detail.
