recommendations for a good bits box


chapter master 454

Recommended Posts

I’ve used screw boxes in the past. However that didn’t scale for me. Now I used plastic sandwich bags based on the bit type - for example, space marine arms, tau plasma rifles, chaos shoulder pads etc. these bags then get placed in a faction box for easy identification.

 

This approach let’s me then pitch the sprues and save space.

main use is currently got some wraithguard/blades who I am magnetising and so need a decent box that could keep parts separate and organised so i can chose which arms I need and when (fully magnetising so arms, guns, swords and axes). It is also nice to get recommendations for decent bits boxes in general as I do have a lot of spare bits currently lying around from my marines as well. More of a fan of hard boxes rather soft though.

I use a simple plastic divided box that you can pick up at most craft stores.  I actually got mine from the Container Store.  Has extra dividers so I can customize size of the spaces.

 

Great idea. I have the same kind of containers. They are fantastic for categorizing and storing bits. They store and travel well too:thumbsup:

I always use this range (there are various sizes).

They are a bit more expensive than a tray with dividers or a tacklebox but being able to lift a section out as a tub makes it so much easier to work with your bits and go through bits of a type. You can also pour out a section in order to sort through it which is basically impossible with a divided tray or tacklebox. You also don't have the problem of bits migrating between sections that the other types have either.

 

Worth every penny, you won't look back.
