Set 1 Storage

[TheAmishStig]

We've been dabbling here and there in various threads now, so I figure it' time to put it all in one place.

I'm going to use this thread to drop information about what from Set 1 will fit in the various storage totes/etc. What I have access to primarily is the Husky boxes [7", 9", 11", 14"; if I get them, also the 22" Cantilever], so if someone with Plano boxes, Army transport foams, Chessex minis boxes, etc would be kind enough to chime in, the idea is to get a comprehensive list of what plays nice when it comes to storing your Ogre Minis.


Husky 9" Small Parts Organizer:
Price: $3
Brick and Mortar Availability: Home Depot
Mk.III: No
Mk.V: No
Conventional Units: Only if Stacked
The Verdict: I wouldn't use it for painted figures, because there's not enough room to fit a whole set in a "single layer" configuration. Unpainted, or if you're OK putting painted figures on top of one another, these will hold everything from Set 1 except the Ogres themselves.

Cell Size (single layer):
INF: 3 per Cell
GEV: 4-5 per Cell*
HVY: 3 per Cell
HWZ: 1 per Cell
MSL: 2 per Cell
CP: 1 per Cell

* 4 per cell in an IIII configuration, 5 per cell in an =III setup, but it's tight.

Other available packing options (1 cell each):
HWZ (gun in normal orientation) + GEV
HWZ (gun in reverse orientation) + HVY
CP + GEV
INF will fit in the 'open space' of a HWZ base if given a little overhang space.

In addition, the non-standard cells will hold 5 HVYs between the clasps, and 2 HVY + 2 GEV on the 'end' nonstandard cells.

Husky 14" Small Parts Organizer:
Price: $5
Brick and Mortar Availability: Home Depot
Mk.III: On its side
Mk.V: No
Conventional Units: Two Sets, single layer
The Verdict: The "half pipe" cell layout...curved transitions between permanent walls and the bottom, meant to make it easier to get the last washer/etc...is something I find to be a minor annoyance. It means lots of room for figures to slide around in transport. But if you're like me and want your figures in a single layer, these are about as perfect as they come. Two full sets, not counting Ogres, will fit in each one...leaving plenty of room to expand to either Set 2 or to double up on Set 1s. Unpainted / multiple layer, you'll get 2-3 times that in one.
