Apocalypse Scratchbuilding: A Cautionary Tale

Scratchbuild for Apocalypse can be a lot of fun, and with all the great units mentioned in the Apoc books, there is no shortage of ideas. However, scratchbuilding apocalypse models has an unspoken dark side: storage. Our loyal readers may remember the Capitol Imperialis I build last year. It's an amazing model and everyone at the FLGS loves it, but its really really big. For a while, we were able to keep it at the game store, but they were cleaning house last week and decided it took up too much room and it had to go (not that I blame them, it took an entire shelf in the terrain storage room). So the beast has to come home.

I imagine this is not an uncommon problem among Apoc builders. So, as a public service, BoLS has decided to provide several unique storage ideas to help you integrate your new Apocalypse model into your home.

Who could argue with a nice centerpiece to have dinner around?
It can also be used as a handsome coffee table.

What pooch wouldn't want the Imperium's finest as a dog carrier?

And if all else fails, it makes a handy magazine rack.

You could either spend hundreds of dollars at the fine furniture store, or save that money and build a furniture hutch that doubles as an imperitor titan. It's a win-win situation (and I'm sure your significant other would agree)
