Here's the nitty gritty costs of this system. Of course, you could leave out the extras to save even more money! NIGHT LORDS ($136 before taxes) 100 infantry and 24 vehicles (With room for more) 4x Small Boxes = $34 4x Med Boxes = $56 8x Metal Sheets = $16 2x Carrying Straps = $30 THOUSAND SONS ($26 before taxes) Magnus, Daemon Prince, Rhino, Helbrute, 37 Infantry 1x Small Box = $8 1x Large Box = $14 2x Metal Sheets = $4 Chaos Knights ($40 before taxes) 6 Questoris, 6 War Dogs (With room for more) 2x X-Large Boxes = $32 4x Metal Sheets = $8 Adhesive = $8 (Was enough for ALL my boxes)
@@Adventurerblitz I use neodymium ones for everything. You could buy a bulk amount from Cobalt Keep for a reasonable price or if the model is sturdy enough Harbor Freight has some magnets I like for $3. They're just stupid strong so don't use them on fiddly models like nighthaunt
Don't worry UK bro's. Really useful boxes are made in the UK so they're a lot cheaper for us. You can find them £4-5 for an 4 Litre and £6 for a 9 litre.
Found some on Lowes website for $1.38. Unfortunately it's not available in my store but it is available to be shipped to my local store in just a few days.
Occasionally I notice that people come in and buy all of them for construction, they should restock them soon! I ran into this problem for a week and then boom everyone had them
So I did a youtube deep dive a few months back and I hit all the same notes you did. Thanks for revisiting this topic and making an updated video about it.
One thing I'm noticing about those knock off boxes is that the handles don't protrude up over the lid as much as the RUBs do, so there's less chance of accidentally unlatching it.
The number of times I've dumped my RUB full of dice and cards and measuring tape and other stuff due to the latch hitting something wrong is maddening.
side note if, you're a weirdo like me and bought an empty bag during Battlefoam's Adepticon sale with your taxes and said "oh I'll DIY myself a system for the inside later on" the Medium case fits perfectly inside of the 352 bag lol best of both worlds now!
You can also buy "Ferrous sheets" - currently I can see a pack if ten A4 Size for £15 - that's 10 x "Letter paper size" for you US folks. (i.e. they fit snugly in a RUB). Think of this as basically a rubber sheet infused with iron, so it is not magnetic itself, but will allow magnets to stick. They also come with sticky backing, so you just peel that off and stick it in. I've used this across my several armies and RUBs. They work great.
AND IN MY TIME OF NEED YOU DELIVER! I was literally *just* lamenting the pricing of getting RUBs, and here you are offering the perfect solution! Thank you so much LD&D!
I prefer their Top Notch stackable bins, the clasps and box are a lot sturdier, especially the lid. they come in a couple of different sizes, so be aware of that if you want to stack them. the 21x15 can perfectly hold 2 of the cardboard trays that come in larger GW sets side-by-side. the top part (which you can buy individual bins of the same size) have adjustable dividers. I cut up and folded some graph paper (easy to cut and trim to size with lines already there) so that the spindly bits of my admech wouldnt get caught on the divider grooves, and they slide less on the paper since i dont use magnets.
To save even more money you can use the metal popcorn tins that everyone gifts at Christmas instead of shingles. I cut the bottom off and it rolls out flat giving you several feet of metal.
I use neodymium ones for everything. You could buy a bulk amount from Cobalt Keep for a reasonable price or if the model is sturdy enough Harbor Freight has some magnets I like for $3. They're just stupid strong so don't use them on fiddly models like nighthaunt
I found double sided gorilla tape is better than any sort of liquid glue/caulk. For me whenever the bin would concave slightly the metal would pop out due to the glue not moving with the bend.
Oooohhh, the straps are neat to learn about. Pretty much do the same thing with my RUBs and the steel flashing. However, instead of gluing the sheet, I just blue tacked it inside in case I ever wanna use the sheet for a different bin or use the box for something else. Glue for the sheet on the lid still makes sense however.
Changing my shopping list for when I get paid to be these instead of more RUBs. Brillaint. I love that they're all the same foot print, whereas the 9L is slightly larger than the 4L for RUBs. I also appreciate the box straps reco. I've been meaning to look for something like that for months and never got around to it!
Awesome videos, Its funny when I looked up your alt to Really Useful boxes is just as cheep as the really useful boxes here in Scotland, there is a store called B&M where you can get the really useful boxes for 4L £5 9L £8 ect.. but thanks you have shown me how to transport with the straps, My Nids and Guard are now going to be a lot more safer.
Thanks for beeing in my recommended. This was exactly what i needed (some adjustments had been made becasue i liive in the NL) but i speded about 10 euro total to get everything (excluding magnets) many thanks. my models and logistics smile everytime i see the box wiith the orginised units
Curious how you are magnetizing your vehicles. Just drilling and adding magnets directly into the bottom of the tank treads or is there something else going on there? Thanks for the video.
@@thejdi try searching "BMW R1200GS, R1250GS, Adv, R1250, R1250" its a black bag with a zip on the front, they have several models, you want the 28L one, 35 x 26.5 x 31cm. Its about 12 quid
FYI why they are still on sale, JoAnn's business has filled for bankruptcy and is going out of business here in the US! So grab those bins while you can!!!!
CH11 is just a debt reorganization. While you might lose a local store here or there, but they aren't going out of business. Personally, I spent the extra for the RUB's. You can get 4 packs of the 2 most common sizes from staples for a pretty reasonable price if you don't mind solid black. The flashing I get fits great with no modifications needed. I also feel like I'll always be able to get the RUB's when I want more. The superstackers seem like something that could go away at any point.
This is awesome! I use the knock boxes from Sam's but they only have small and large, super stoked to find where to get mediums with the bonus organizer. I use flexible magnetized sheets from Total Element, which are very cheap but dont have as strong as a bond to magnets as the galvanized steel, so definitely going to try that too. Glad to have found your channel!

Right on the money. I drilled out 4 holes on the bottom of each vehicle tread and super glued them in.

Good recommendation. I was already getting those stacker boxes at Sam's club for a decent price for the large and small. Haven't seen the medium tho.

For even more use, you can glue the metal sheets to the sides!
Yes, steel flashing is the answer. You can also buy a roll if you re willing to cut them. Be sure to wear gloves if you do!
does the blue tray from the medium size bin also fit inside the large size bin?
yes, it does!
Didn't even cross my mind to try, good catch!
I like to pick up 5mm sheets of EVA foam from the hobby store for $1.99 each. Then I use a hot glue gun to make grids.

Pretty cool. I buy similar cases from michaels but don't magnetize anything. I also only play at home so they don't get moved around much.
