    I was reading your article about organizing minis and tiles. Here's how I do it.

    I too use wallmart bins to store my minis and tiles, but with some differences. I use a lot of ziplock bags (big and small). I keep like sized and themed tiles in bags so they aren't loose then I store them to the drawers.

    With minis I do the same thing. Orcs go in one bag, goblins another, demons another etc... then they go in drawers. This makes them easy to find. To track them in combat I tend to put coloured stickers on them, but I write numbers on my stickers. So if I have 6 orc terrorblades, I'll put 6 yellow stickers on them and number them 1 through 6. When I run a combat I'll write the numbers 1-6 with the hp beside each number. This makes it easy for me to track hp without getting confused.
