Storing and Transporting Your Terrain

Hey, want to know another reason why CD-based terrain is such a great idea? It's easy to store and protect. How's that, you ask? Simple. Just go to ebay and search for empty CD cake boxes. You'll find them for pretty cheap. Not quite as cheap as you'd get from the manufacturer, but you won't have to order 10,000 of them (trust me, I looked into it). Since most of us don't have batcaves under our houses where we can store 10,000 of something, ebay is the best source of deals.


A few seconds work with a hacksaw to remove the spindle, and presto. Instant protective case for your terrain rounds. With pieces like the Sniperwrecks, where the center hole isn't covered over, you can leave a bit of the spindle sticking up to keep the terrain round really stable. The cake boxes come in four sizes: 10, 25, 50 and 100 CD boxes. The 50 boxes will serve you best, but the 10's and 25's are useful for small, flat terrain and the 100's are great for pieces with trees. Toss a handful of packing peanuts in before you put the terrain in and you can keep fragile pieces from wobbling around.
