About the Project
Welcome to The Belons Fantasy box Storage is always an issue for me. But there are always new games being released thati fancy giving a go. I have always enjoyed seeing fantasy armys in big hordes on the table top. Over the years i have had numerous warhammer armies but have always struggled to find space for them so have had to part with them, only to build another army later. It was early one sunday whielst watching the weekender when Ben and Gerry opened my eyes to the wonders that are 10mm miniatures. I always thought that anything smaller than 15mm would lack detail but i was very wrong the pendraken minis are full of character. Then the idea poped into my head and kept buzzing around, that i could find a way to store everything i needed to play including a gaming mat in a single box About the same size as a standard army case. After looking around on the internet i found a cool community of players playing minihammer which is not only smaller models but the table is halved as well perfect for my small flat. You can even get a mini hammer ruler that is marked so that each inch is only half an inch so no measurment conversions are needed mid game. I thought it would be a cool idea to magnatise all the models so i can adapt the baseing to use them in the systems that i have fancied having a go at. I would like them to be useable in Warhammer(minihammer), saga age of magic, warmaster and tiny kings of war. Maybe even revisit moredheim in a smaller scale. Now i just have to wait for the models to arrive.

The monster box
I needed another taller box as i did not realise how tall the 10mm monsters would be, they would have to ho on there sides in the draws which coukd end up chipping the paint.
this box has magnetic sheet stuck to the base to hold the monsters in place.
i also lined the inside with stick on felt to try to prevent chipping if they do slide around.
Tiny giant ?
Still waiting for the bases to arrive, so i thought i would paint the warmaster giant.
This is a realy cool model, he has a great gormless expression on his face and his belt is stuffed with enemys fir him to munch on after the battle also the base is like a little diorama of a crushed waggon and a little human quaking in fear.
Tiny goblin wolf chariots
Thought i would have a go at painting tiny goblins first.
The old warmaster models are amazing with as much detail as there larger counterparts.
i found contrast paints very useful for the wooden chariots and the black robes on the goblins.
I think all units in a fantasy army should have a flag so i built banner poles out of matchsticks and greenstuff.
then glued tinfoil to paper and folded it over the pole gluing it to the other side this gave me banners that i can bend into shape.
im pretty pleased with the snow base.
its a mix of bicarb and pva with a dash of water. I mixed it till it was a thick paste then slapped it on with a cocktail stick.
its a cheap way to make snow that looks pretty cool.

Minis incoming
Bam ?
Tiny dudes are arriving in the post thick and fast.
you can get loads of minis for small ammounts of dosh in 10mm
The humans are mainly pendraken with some old warmaster minis mixed in.
The orcs and goblins are from kallistra and magister militum also with some warmaster bits mixed in.
im still waiting for the bases to arrive then i can start sticking them down and splashing on some paint.
Cheap winter table
Found this cool table cloth in the local B&M store for £4.
its ment to be a marble effect but i think it makes a pretty cool winter mat.
this will also let me try out snow baseing which is something i have always struggled with. Im going to give bicarb and pva glue a go on my bases.
the table cover is perfect as it will fold up and fit in the fantasy box nicely.
Inside the fantasy box
The box has loads of space inside to hold a small set of draws to keep the armys in. It also has room for another box to hold the scenery in when i make it.
the draws have been lined with magnetic sheet to hold the minis in place when they are being stored. Also the draws are lined with sticky back felt to provide some protection if the minis slide about a bit.
