I have a Sabol case for my marines, and up until recently had made a wooden box with metal bottom for my Sisters. They all had magnetic bases, and I had made the case big enough that the Exorcists and Penitents can fit without an issue.
However, after a while carrying around a large wooden box filled with lead, I deced to get a second Sabol Motor Pool for the girls. Still happy with those, though I am not certain the MP is sufficient.

Anyone have any experience with the Battalion or whatnot (the big wheeled ones)? I am not certain I want to invest in the "Lexus of army transports" without some feed back. That's a lot of tiny metal women I would be giving up for that baby.

Studder actually has one, wheeled it to Games Day last year. Haven't seen it since ...

I have 3 of the sabol army transports.. one original flavor, one motor pool and one of the massive divisional suitcase ones. I have yet to take the big one anywhere but i got that because it came with tons of trays and also because I need to pack up and transport my stuff as I'm in the process of moving. I can fit my full 2000 pt guard army with 7 tanks in the motor pool case, the regular kind could fit a higher point cost army like marines. The big one is made really well, haven't had any problems with it. I will probaby take it to the next club day when I have a few different games scheduled so I'll be able to fit at least 2 full armies in it..

Also I got in the habit of buying empty foam trays when I build a new unit or tank or whatever, so that everything can have it's own tray. So instead of sitting my models on a shelf to get full of dust, I keep them in the trays all the time. Makes it easy when I'm going out for a game, I just pack up whatever bag with whatever trays I need.

It does make an already expensive hobby even more expensive, but for the amt of money and time I invest in building and painting the stuff, I don't mind spending the extra cash to keep it safe.

I seem to recall early on after it first came out hearing about problems with it tipping over. I don't know how reliable/current that is- maybe they changed the deisgn, maybe you just have to be careful about putting heavier models in the lower trays, or maybe it was just a couple of anecdotes that don't represent the majority experience- but I thought I'd bring it up and see if anyone who owns one can address that specific topic...
