Dreamblade Repainted

Hundvig Fezian is not a real big fan of pre-painted minis, and he positively despises randomly-packed "collectable" ones - so why is he writing this article?

Not your minis, not the rulebooks, but the stuff – templates, markers, special dice, cards?

In a dollar store bought pencil box. Seems to fit the bill nicely and I always know where everything is.

Well, except my dice. I keep them loose in a false book box on the shelf so no one screws with them when I'm not using them.

Lobbed in with the terrain usually.

PygmaelionAgain19 Jul 2012 11:05 a.m. PST

For a while, I kept the following together in a ziploc (tm) freezer bag:
-5th edition starter set mini rulebook
-templates (blast, lgblast, flamer)
-2x red fabric measuring tapes
-20x small d6, 3x scatter dice.
-whatever most current army list I was using. (Thanks, BattleScribe!)

and that bag would go into whatever I was using to transport my figures at the time.

Mick A19 Jul 2012 11:30 a.m. PST

Box file for all templates etc to do with any game and a sectioned carry case for dice…

A wooden box in the den near where we game. It holds dice, rulers, templates, crump markers, "smoke of victory", etc.

Henrix19 Jul 2012 11:48 a.m. PST

In the drawer where I keep all my other measuring devices.

Delthos19 Jul 2012 11:51 a.m. PST

Some just is sat in a pile on a shelf, some is in boxes, some is in backpack pockets, some is in Army Transport pockets, and probably some other various places.

In the storage cabinet for my terrain/other measuring devices/unpainted minis

15mm and 28mm Fanatik19 Jul 2012 12:17 p.m. PST

In a GW metal 'ammo box' that came with a special edition of 40K I bought years ago.

Garand19 Jul 2012 12:21 p.m. PST

I have a gaming bag (repurposed laptop bag/mapcase that says "The Hobbit" on it…) that I keep all that stuff in. In one pocket goes the dicebag, mini stapler, erasers, and such, another pocket has the tape measure, I have 1 mechanical pencil, 1 gelpen (which I prefer for RPG character sheets), and 1 regular pen, and in a pocket in the flap that goes over it all I keep the templates. In the main part of the bag goes the gaming books (which I switch out depending on what game I play). This way I won't forget anything too important. There is even a mesh pocket for water bottles too!

At the GW store, where it belongs…..

JimSelzer19 Jul 2012 4:26 p.m. PST

IN THE CLOSET so not to offend my straight(historical) gaming friends

Mithmee19 Jul 2012 8:31 p.m. PST

In the same cases that have the mini's.

Twilight Samurai19 Jul 2012 8:38 p.m. PST

In orbit, ever vigilant.

vtsaogames20 Jul 2012 5:28 a.m. PST

My what?

Dasher20 Jul 2012 10:05 a.m. PST

In the dustiest corner of my basement storage. I use many 40K figures, but I would not play the rules if you paid me.

richarDISNEY20 Jul 2012 10:11 a.m. PST

Packed in my case with the minis…
beer

Farstar20 Jul 2012 3:45 p.m. PST

I would not play the rules if you paid me.

I wouldn't go *that* far, but I would ask for the cash up front.

If the rumors this week are true, I won't be buying the starter box this time around, so the older edition "stuff" will stay in the basement with no one new to talk to.

chromedog21 Jul 2012 4:33 a.m. PST

In a box in the cupboard with the rest of the 40k stuff.
Haven't played a game in 6 months or so – and won't be playing 6th ed at all. Although there aren't any "special" dice – they're just 6 siders, common-as-muck. I don't truck with special magic symbol dice.

The marines and eldar WILL get repurposed for Tomorrow's War, though. The Grey knights will sit proudly on their shelf hidden behind opaque doors (I started playing them with codex:Daemonhunters because they were cool models, then they redid them and everyone else and their dog was playing them. So I put them aside.
