I have a couple cases I stuff my miniatures in. One is for my troops the other is for my armor.

Now thats flash.... Looks professional

If you did that yourself then Two thumbs up

Those are cool! Did you have a stencil from somewhere?

That's pretty awesome. Did you print it out and make a stencil?

Wow, they are really nice. I keep wanting to paint my cases but ive promised myself im not going to do anything else until i fully paint my orks, the waaaagh! has been grey for long enough!

I am a graphic designer with access to a vinyl cutter, CAD software, and more paint than anyone should ever dream of, wide format printing and the like...

What I did was digitize the Aquila in my software as well as the AM symbol, I then cut it on adhesive backed vinyl and applied it to my case. I then masked the areas around the case and spraypainted the logo in gold and silver for the AM respectively, Then I airbrushed in the white highlight, and just spattered the AM with silver and black. I removed the vinyl and touched it up with a brush where needed and vo'ila. Everything is pretty easy when you have the tools. Thanks for the kind words though!

I made a stecil for my DElves case....

at the time I thought it was pretty good...

Thanks alot..


Just kidding, looks awesome dude!!

what cases are those, and what foam do you use?

Outstanding!

Believe it or not I got the cases WITH foam at our local Harbor Freight (Warehouse discount hardware store). I paid 12.99 USD each for them and they came with the cube cut changeable foam. Screaming Deal! They only had one on display I asked if they had more and she had one more in back so I grabbed that one too.

A lot cheaper and a lot better than retail!

Do you know the brand and case name? I'd be interested in seeing if I can find them around me or online.

omg looks awsome

Sharp cases!

They look WAY better than the GW cheap plastic ones.

Platuan4th, just goto harborfrieght.com and see if you can find those. Or find a store close to you and call to see if they have any.

I never thought of going there tho, that place is GREAT for cheap stuff

I would totally pay for a Word Bearers carrying case in the same style.

Very nice work, man.

Someone should host a carrying case conversion contest.

I would like to see someone Nurglefied one.

Linkage!!
That might be what you guys are looking for.

You're making me think that I need me some stencils.

These are a lot more expensive online then what I paid, but they are half-price compared to the CW plastic one.

There is no brand name they are made in China and then warehouse stores buy them and brand them as their own.

Can you post some inside pics of it? how many units can it hold?

I have two of the exact same case. They easily hold 2000 points of mechanised Tau with plenty of extra room for dice, books, and templates. I think I paid $19.99 each for 'em.

In the one case I have 25 tactical, 5 Devastators, 5 sniper scouts, 5 assault termies, 1 space marine captain, 1 Terminator Chaplain

The other holds 3 dreadnoughts, 2 landspeeders, 2 razorback/rhinos, 2 Drop Pods I figured it to be approximately 2500 points together, oh I also ahve a 5 termie squad in the vehicle case too.

This one is a bit larger and has foam inserts

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=39196

That link was already posted just a few before yours.

Actually that is the case I have. i removed the carboard/foam inserts and the tool pocket card. There is some egg crate foam on the top you can use. I just put my codex books on it and it holds it down so none of the figures come out.

Looks really good.
A shame I will never have miniature cases like that , Becouse I'l never be needing them.

thats a really good idea. not sure if I would go that route, but you sir, have done an excellent job of making that case your own.

snazzy cases man!

Thanks!
