Figure Storage Chests

Like most wargamers, over the years I have struggled with the issue of figure storage. We invest a great deal of time and money buying, preparing, painting and basing miniatures so need to store them in the best way possible taking in to account some of the following factors:

Space – Most of us, even if we have a dedicated wargames room have a finite amount of space to store figures and other gaming accessories.

Protection – We want to protect our figures from damage and dust.

Portability – We need to protect wargames figures from where they are stored to our wargames table, or take them with us to a friends house or the local wargames club.

Flexibility – Many collections include single based figures and figures in different scales.

I’ve spent a long time thinking about this and have come up with a storage system that I’m using for my own collection of single based 20mm & 28mm miniatures and smaller scale (6mm / 10mm & 15mm figures.

Sally 4th Warchests - Wargames Figure Storage

The Warchest has been designed as a mix and match system, so that you buy just what you need for your personal needs. The system is made up of boxes, lids and inlays. Size 245mm x 183mm

Boxes – The boxes are designed with a lip to make them easy to lift and can be used as a stand alone system or fit into IKEA wooden drawers. Boxes are available in 3 heights.

1. 35mm high. Great for 6mm Figures and 10mm/15mm/20mm Infantry.

2. 52.5mm high Great for 10mm/15mm Cavalry

3 70 mm high Great for 28mm Figures

4 100mm high Great for 28mm Lance Armed Cavalry & Pikemen

5 120mm high Great for 28mm Pikemen with long pikes held upright

Lids – These have been designed with a deep lip above and below to  facilitate safe and efficient stacking and so that the lid can be used as a mini tray to carry figures to the games table and put casualties on during the game. There is a standard lid available plus a clear Perspex lid that allows you to view what is inside the chest without opening it up.

Inlays – Available in 2mm & 3mm MDF. Glue them to bottom of the box to protect miniatures from movement related damage.
