Livingregret -
Actually I have a quick question, you can PM the answer if you'd like, but I noticed in your gallery a customer tray foam that holds(i believe) 16 IG heavy weapon squads...how much would that tray cost?


The item you are looking for is on our products page. It is the 16 Heavy Weapon Team foam tray. It can hold 16 heavy weapon teams by using the small foam space that comes with the tray. 8 fit on the bottom, then you add the spacer, and last is your next 8 heavy weapon teams. One of these trays costs $18.00

Considering that you can not get round foam from pick and pluck, this is by far the best solution for Sentinels, Heavy Weapons, and similar based items.

We also are adding a 24 Heavy Weapon Team Foam Tray that fits GW cases later this evening. That will also retail for $18.00.

Sgt. Diablo. Thanks for pointing that out. Note that I dont mean to knock a product of a person that actually posts and reads here, thats just too personal and I hate it when people do it, I was just saying. It looks like a great and well made product, I just didnt understand the logic of the names being there.

Hope you do well with them!

For me its important to have the names... not only for the extreme cool factor but because when you have several custom cutted foams with random shappes you will need to name them in order to quickly identify wich models go there... For example 150 tyranids converted and each couple broods with diferent customized foams... see the mess if they dont have names?

Sgt Diablo thanks for clearing all out so quickly I will be looking forward the bug foams

Yo Diablo: I'm guessing if you were emailed a template, you could work from that? I'm interested as to how many well-formed Grav-Tank partitions could be made into one sheet, with seperate space for turrets. I'm hoping four, because I intend to carry at least seven.

Hi Artick_Firangi. Yes, we can work from emails, faxes, or scans. We just need to get as close of a rendition of the actual model as possible. Grav-Tank trays for Tau and Eldar skimmers are going to be posted in the next few days. Feel free to email over any items you may need us to look at. Also check the site for new foam coming up.

We can also do a custom quote for you if you email over everything you need done along with the size case your using it in.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thought you guys may want to see these. We can cut out Club Logos into Toppers. Toppers is what we call the thin pieces of foam you use to protect your models from the tray that stacks on top.

Anyway, we can cut any logo or design into the topper to help promote your gaming league, store, or club. Just an FYI.

Thanks

Hey Diablo,

Do you guys have the tray that holds the SoB excorcists up for sale as a regular item? and if so how much is it?

also, is it possible to fit 4 of them in 1 Sabol sized tray? (cuz if you can i will buy it like right now, cuz I'm tired of the organs falling off and whatnot).

Thanks a lot (and i plan on purchasing a couple of trays in the not too distant future as well)

Hi Blargag - Yes, we have the excorcists as a regular item, we just have not listed it yet. We are trying our best to upload as many different options as possible. If you want to order the Excorcist foam tray, just call us. I can get you a price within minutes. Also, yes you can fit 4 excorcists in one sabol tray. The customer that is pictured in our gallery wanted just 2. Hope to hear from you soon.

Malfred - Yes, we can do the Dakka Dakka logo as long as Yakface oks it. We already have the logo, so let us know if you would like to order it. Let me know.

Thanks for checking this out, and keep a look out for a bunch of foam going up tomorrow. We are hoping to get all our Nidz, Tau, and Necron trays up.

Do toppers come with each tray, or each order, or what? I've been unable to find toppers on the website.

One free topper comes with every $50.00 you spend on our site. You can buy toppers in singles, packs of 3 or 5, but those have not been added yet. They will be going up in the next couple of days.

The only way to order toppers at this time is to call it in. We can add custom text or logos on all toppers.

1 Topper for GW or Sabol sized cases. $2.00
3 Toppers for GW or Sabol sized cases. $5.00
5 Toppers for GW or Sabol sized cases. $7.00

Custom text or logos add .50 per topper.

Hope this helps.

Romeo

Hey Diablo,

Will that 72 troop tray be for the GW size case? If you could fit even close to that many minis into a sabol sized tray, you would be my hero!

The 72 troop tray is actually a sneak peek of our upcoming bags. We have to bags coming launching at Adepticon in April. We will release one large bag, and one smaller bag. Both bags will utilize our new sized foam as pictured in the 72 sneak peek.

The large bag will have the ability to hold 1520 standard troops.
The smaller bag will have the ability to hold 432 standard troops.

We have tested the larger bag, and we were able to fit 6 Baneblades without any problems.

We have worked very hard in developing these two cases, so we hope everyone enjoys them.

Thanks

Romeo

Just a suggestion, but you should break down the lists into their individual armies. It would just make it so much easier to find exaclty what you need. since a lot of these are custom cut for units from certain armies.

I must say I'm very impressed with this company. The sheer amount of items they are adding to their site is awesome. And they support is very quick. I sent in an e-mail inquiring about some all destroyer foam and within 2 hours roughly I already had a new e-mail in my inbox letting me know they are creating a destroyer + heavy destroyer foam which is perfect. I must say outstanding work! Looking forward to getting in my troop foam I order a few days ago and then placing an order for destroyer foam!

The 72 Troop Foam trays are made to fit the 2 new bags we are launching at Adepticon in April. We will have preorder information up on our site in the next few weeks. Launch date is set for April 10th. We will start advanced orders on March 1st. You will be able to pick up your bags early if you come to Adepticon. We will have a both at the show.

Hey Romeo, I listened to 40kRadio the other day and heard the interview. I have to admit, listening to you talk about foam for five hours was a bit boring ("FoamyK Radio, All FoamyK All the Time"), but it was good stuff.

On top of that, during the summer, I travel on my bike, so I only have space to carry one case. If I can fit twice the number of models (or even 1.5 times the number of models) into my case, I have a lot more options. For me, the extra few bucks is worth it for this reason.


That is an excellent point, and something I completely failed to realize at first. It isn't just that it's pre-cut, but you can get foam cut in a way that saves space and allows you to store more models than GW or Sabol. The price is kinda daunting, but I'm being tempted more and more to get my own trays and see if I can't fit my entire Tau army in a Motor Pool case (as of now I have to carry around a smaller Platoon as well). When I get some more cash I'll definitely start looking into it.

And the fact that you can get graphics and stuff printed on it is just cool. If I'm not mistaken they do that for free, right?

Hey, just noticed trays for Tau tanks!

Sidstyler - Hey, glad to hear your a 40k guy. The D6 did an even longer pod cast last week with me. Let me tell you, I've heard them both and I'm sick of hearing myself.

As for your question, yes the custom text and logos is all part of the overall foam price. That is kinda the reason for the higher prices.

We could of easily pushed out a bunch of pre cut foam trays and we would of saved hours on the machine programming text and images. The thing is that we wanted people to really have something cool to ship their minis around.

Give me a call or drop me an email when your ready to do something for your Tau army. We'll work out a nice deal to help you out.

Romeo

@Sgt Diablo: With either of those bags coming out. Will they fit the other foam trays firmly you are producing(in particular the GW foam trays). I ask because I hate the GW plastic cases but I ordered the GW foam trays since you get more bang for your buck with those. If not, I'm torn between holding out till april for trays that will fit your bags or buying trays now to transport my army.

Which of the non-custom trays would be best fit for non-converted Marine Assault Marines? I wanna know how many trays I'd need to fit my whole DA company...
