Warcry Warband Storage

thingiverse

I designed each logo by rendering either a web image or a photo image to create various fraction icons. Then using Inkscape, I created the black & white image, and from there, I added the image as an SVG in Fusion 360. This made scaling very difficult, which is why the Untamed Beasts Icon appears a bit small. A much simpler approach I discovered after completing this project was to include the Runesmark font created by Jeffery at "waywalkerstudios.com". This font includes all the fraction icons, plus the weapons for the first release of Warcry. Using this font would have greatly simplified the entire process. I recently added a modified card tray insert called "WarBandCardInsertV2.stl", as the original version was a bit too tight on the storage box. I made the insert slightly smaller and deeper to better fit the box. This design initially aimed to store warband faction card decks for Warcry, but later expanded to include a custom box to hold the figures. The card storage has two indents to store fighter cards, and a larger indent to store custom attribute cards, with two finger holes in the base for easy removal of cards. The lid features an insert slightly larger than a 4 x 6 label, allowing for a custom label to be applied. I chose this approach since Games Workshop recently updated attributes in its latest FAQ. The lid also has a slot that runs the width, enabling the insertion of warband attribute cards. The box base is a bit tall for current models but can hold all models in a current warband. The base includes an insert slightly larger than 4 x 6 to accommodate a self-adhesive magnetic sheet. My intent was to glue magnets to the base of figures to prevent them from moving inside the box. I plan to add an insert that will keep models in position, along with the magnetic base. I'll also post pictures of the finished assemblies. For additional stability, I recommend using 4x6 Flexible Magnetic Adhesive Sheets available on Amazon. You can also find 4x6 mailing labels for your printer at the same website. Since starting this project, I've discovered that using a piece of steel sheet has better holding ability than flexible magnet sheets (requiring fewer magnets in the base of models). The new case features a hollowed-out bottom, which should reduce print time and save on plastic.
