Anyone get one of these new bigger army cases GW is making, or at least get to check out the innards?

I have a tank-heavy IG army I'm putting together and I'm gonna need a good case for it.. I have an army transport and it's been good for my nids and fantasy stuff, but I kinda like the hard plastic for safety and stuff.. I tried using a rifle case before but since it's egg carton style foam it's really just good for figures, but I need something good for tanks as tall as russes or as long as a rhino with a FW dozer blade

It's $30 more than a new army transport.. but if I can fit the whole army in there (2 russes, 1 basilisk, 2 hellhounds, 1 chimera, 1 rhino and 60+ men with 4-6 heavy weapons, so far) I may go for it... but I don't wanna buy it and take it home only to find out i shoulda just gotten a new army transport instead...

My flgs has a few of those new cases, and from what I can guess based on their size, your army wouldn't fit in just one, mostly due to the fact that you have 7 vehicles. Then again I don't own one and I haven't tried to cram an army into one, so I could be wrong.

The infantry are no problem, and you should be able to get six tanks in there if you rip out all the foam and use it in L-shaped 'bumpers'.  The Basilisk might be the odd one out as it is #7 and (from what I remember) a bit too tall with the gun shield.

Yeah I got a better look at the cases today.. i'd need one whole case just for my tanks I like the army I'm making but I don't wanna blow $180 just to carry it around...

I think I'm gonna just stick with army transport, that side by side motor pool one should work good
