Room and Board

The trouble with inviting several hundred goblins into your home is finding the room to put them up. Really how do you accommodate such a vast quantity of green skins? Ok so to begin with you can shove them in a box and hide them under your bed but at best this is just a temporary measure.

It is a natural first instinct to want to show off all your beautifully painted new friends and so it begins. The Goblins fill up one shelf, then another and another. With the green skins breeding faster than rabbits you soon run out of shelf space. Somehow, despite all this procreative activity, the little gits gather dust as if it were orc teef! You invest in feather dusters and air dusters but all to no avail; the dust still gathers. With the box under the bed calling to you once again as the best solution you frantically cast about for a better home for your little fellers.

Perhaps you are smiling to yourself in smug affluence secure in the knowledge that your guys are snuggly tucked up in a sturdy G.W. case. There can be little doubt that G.W. cases are the best home for your guys but, my, they are expensive. As your collection creeps beyond the 1000 figure landmark you realise just how much storing your models is going to cost.

I bit the bullet, something had to be done, more to the point something had to be bought. I think I was rather fortunate to discover the KR Multicase, or rather several of them. They are well made of heavy duty card with foam inserts capable of holding 200 guys. Amazon will charge you £22.50 (+4.48 pp) for this little beauty. As they stand they are no good for cavalry or standard bearers but they could be modified. As a cheap and cheerful solution to mass figure storage I heartily recommend them.
