Anybody find a clever and cheap way to carry and store there damage deck? I don’t have a 3D printer and I don’t want to spend the price of a model on a solution.
Damage Deck Storage Solutions
Make a box out of cardboard or cardstock, I am sure you easily google a printable template.
I just bought an acrylic off Etsy (~$3)
Edited by AT LeaderMy printer won’t take card stock. Looking for something that has been repurposed, but looks like it was made for holding a damage deck.
For my travel deck, I use one of the plastic bags from an expansion. Nothing fancy just functional.
The ziploc bag that it came in has worked for me for 4 or 5 years or however long the game has been out. Works great for all three damage decks I own too.
Jewelry boxes available at most craft stores. 2x3 inches I believe is a perfect fit. Have never put my damage decks in anything else.
also a 2 pack is like 2 bucks.
Edited by LordFajubiOne thing you could do is get Sleeves like this: https://www.chaoscards.co.uk/accessories-c1/board-game-sleeves-c155/arcane-tinmen-board-game-sleeves-non-glare-mini-for-cards-41x63mm-p154598 as they come in a small cardboard box the right size to fit 50 sleeved cards.
I made a tuckbox from Sir Willi's site and I like it a lot.
I used cardstock, but it may work just as well with some other heavyweight paper.

...one of the plastic bags the cards in the expansion pack come in?
You can always make one yourself, akin to the tuckboxes, since your home printer won't handle the heavier stock. Use an old manila file folder, birthday cards from Grandma or similar. It's not that big a pain in the keester as one might think.
I use a bag from an expansion to keep the deck in for storage, but for gameplay I made a few damage deck holders out of Lego's ... if I could get a pic up here I would
I use a rubber band.
Small ziploc, or in play a $5 Highbridge Brewing damage deck tray.

I bought a full set from Highbridge, trays, templates, and deck holder and it was worth every penny. Highest recommendation. Check them out on etsy.

I second this. If your printer won’t handle cardstock, just head over to Alphagraphics or any local print store and have them print it out on cardstock for you. Should only cost you about a buck.
I had a printer that couldn't take card stock for a while. I just printed on regular paper and glued it to a cardboard box (specifically for breakfast cereal). I think I used a glue stick as regular glue can soak the paper too much. Then, I cut out the design for Sir Willis' tuck box. Glue it like normal.

That's some next level Macgyver style **** there, Chadders.

When you don't have squat to spend on a solution, you can come up with a lot of different solutions! I'm a cheap #%#$% and I have years of "affordable" Warhammer Fantasy Battle projects under my belt to help me along.
Well @s1ickrick , my daughter pulled a free design off the Internet and had this one made on a 3D printer at her university, which the use of by students is uber cheap.....it's simply fantastic. @heychadwick , I used a free FFG bag like @Stoneface and @FTS Gecko for well over a year, haha.....

This wins you the Recycle and Reuse of the Year award my friend.
Oh, yeah, the manila folders. I think I used that more as my old office had a ton of them. Birthday cards from Grandma take the cake, though (birthday cake, of course).

I have a problem with 3D printed stuff as I live in the South where it gets hot. I have to store my stuff in my trunk on game days. I had some 3D printed ship holders that melted around my minis. I had to use a drehmel to get my Firespray out. I only nicked it a little.

I've found these boxes - either for ships or cards to be pretty good. The old Epson R800 or HP laserwriter takes 300gm cardstock ok and that's thick enough.
One thing I've found is that the heat in the laserwriter that ' cures ' the toner, causes the card to shrink a bit, so I always oversize the copy by 104-107%...or the boxes can be a bit tight.

Around here they have a law against leaving miniatures in a hot transport; if your caught, you can be carted off to the prison moon Oovo IV, which consequently Firespray 31 attack craft were designed to patrol and protect.
