Plastic People - Our cases will be very unique because we are maximizing storage capacity. These new cases will fit more models and have more space. They may seem big to some people, so you'll have to wait and see if they are for you. What we know is that they are very well built and will change the way people transport their minis.

Platuan4th - The standard trays you are looking for are the Scout Bike Trays. These hold assault marines perfectly since they are taller and deeper then standard troop trays.

Looks like I'll be holding off till then! I can't wait to see the quality of this bag. By the sounds of you will be able to have room for 2 armies in a single bag! I don't care about size as if I'm going to look like a nerd carrying my models might as well go all out! Better then carrying a cardboard box like I'm doing right now :(. Though question...this may be a bit early for you to answer this. With these bags will there be preset foam sizes already in it. Or will we be able to select the foam we want to go with it. Or is it going to be an empty bag? Again not sure if you can answer this just yet.

The 2 new bags will be sold in 3 different ways.

1st. Empty Bag. This will be the cheapest price point and will get you the new bag empty ready to fill with your own foam and models.

2nd. Pre Filled Bag. This will get you a pre filled bag with foam picked by us to suite a specific army. So your order would look like this. I'll take one large bag with the Space Marine foam kit. The kit will have enough foam to fill the bag and will include the most popular combinations for that army. A kit for each army will be available.

3rd. Filled Bag With Your Custom Cuts. This will be the most expensive of the 3 choices but it gives you limitless possibilities for customization. You pick the foam size, tray style, design layout, and all custom text and logos. Sky is the limit here.


Keep in mind that the BIG BAG will hold 1520 models, and the small bag will hold 432 models.

Stay tuned.

can you show a big pic?

Of course not. They're posting teasers to draw you in

For the Eldar Tank Sabol sized tray.. is there space (height space) for turrets and bases?

Might it be possible to put 2 Falcons, with their detachable turrets, into one tray?

The Eldar tray is designed to fit the tanks and turrets without bases. We did this because not everyone models them with bases attached.

As for the other question about full size pictures of the two bags, the answer is not yet. We are going to start our contest on Friday For Name Our Bags. We need to discuss this with Yakface and see how Dakka can get involved.

Once we have names for the two bags, and picked our winners we will show full pictures of both bags will foam inserts. That should be in the next 6 weeks. Pre orders will be made available 30 days before the April launch.

Romeo

Any ideas on the prices of them yet, or is that going to be under wraps for a while?

I would also like to second the question of "will I be able to fit sabol foam into these bags?" because i would love to be able to fit my entire army into 1 bag (as opposed to the 2 and a half that i need now... Stupid tanks!).

also, would i be able to fit seraphim into the scout biker tray? that would be great.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, we do have pricing, but will not publish that information until March 1 when pre orders will be made available to the public.

Yes, you will be able to use your current foam from Sabol and GW since our bag dimentions are larger then both of the other foam tray types.

Yes, you will be able to fit your entire army in one bag. You'll actually be able to fit 3 armies of 1750 points without any problems.

Yes, seraphims and jump troops of any type will fit in the scout bike trays.

Romeo

I (at least hope) that you are right. It takes me a little more than 1 Sabol Transport to bring my 2k army anwhere (and only 2 of the trays are infantry).

it would be really great!

a PS to all, I am planning on purchasing a bunch of trays, I will post pics and let you guys know what I think of them.

Is it possible to show us a pic of the ultramarines tray you have in your custom foam section?

It looks pretty tricked out from what little I can see of it in the pic but would like a complete view of the tray.

Fitting Seraphims and jumptroopers is easy. When will we see a tray I can get 30+ Hormagaunts or a couple dozen Tyranid Warriors in?

W/ your 40 troop tray, is it possible to have 1 from each row cut to the heavy weapon size? With the idea of being able to fit a typical las/plas 10 man SM squad per row?

SPARKEYG wrote:W/ your 40 troop tray, is it possible to have 1 from each row cut to the heavy weapon size? With the idea of being able to fit a typical las/plas 10 man SM squad per row?

Or maybe a Sister of Battle squad with Imagifer?

Hellfury - We are adding new pictures to the gallery this weekend. That should get people some new items to look over.

Sparkeyg - Yes, you can trick out or change any tray to fit your specific army needs. Just give us a call and we can discuss all the options available to you.

porkuslime - Yes, the sisters are easily done.

Mattlov - Yes, we will be adding the rest of the Tyranid liine tonight. Stay tuned.

Romeo

Hey all,

just letting people know that i placed a massive order a couple of days ago with Romeo and the gang. I will post pics of the crazy custom trays that i got made for me (repentia and penitent engines are shaped REALLY weird!) and let you know what i think.

Later
BLARGAG!!!

I thought you guys would get a kick out of this. Before anyone says it, ya I'm being a tool. LOL

Heh nice, only thing missing is a scrolling text of special offers, a dumb broad asking you about how great your product is and snippets of black and white footage of people trying to transport their mini's with the old standard foam trays.

Steal of the century!

looking hot Sgt Diablo! very happy for you the buisness is picking up too! grats!

yeah,
That's awesome... and sadly for the most part true!
I Hope your company does well, it's definently raising the standard.
I'll be checking out the 50 man trays for my armies.
How much is postage to the UK?

Panic...

We ship worldwide guys, so let us know your location, and we'll get the foam there.

Our price for international shipping is $15.00 for the first tray, and $2.00 for each additional tray after. This makes if really cheap if you buy a whole bunch at one time.

Hope you guys got a kick out of the video. It was done all in fun, but some of that stuff is totally true. When you watch it, notice my dog in the background trying to steal my 15 minutes of fame.

Silly dog, should of started her own foam company. LOL

Romeo

Really cool stuff. I agree with you on pick-n-pluck. I bought a Sabol case and was really disappointed with it. Sadly my country strictly enforces a 37% import tax, which puts Battlefoam above what I'm willing to spend.

I hope someone in the EU picks up your idea.

Nice vid man, the stuff looks great, got off to a rocky start there in the beginnning I am glad that has pasts for ya and rather quickly. Pretty sure you should be hearing from me soon, as it would be so nice to carry my Ork army in the smaller case when I go to game, in stead of the massive GW I am now using, good stuff!

something I havent seen asked yet.

your text you can print onto the foam, can it be done on the short side edge of the foam(instead of top)?

I ask because right now I have trays for 6 different armies that are stacked up on the closet shelf, with another army in the actual case. If you could print the tray name on the side, when i would know what models are in what tray without pulling them all down. I tried painting the tray names with white paint and quickly remembered i write horrible.

Hi guy, sorry for the security errors on our pages. We are moving our site to a new server and it is causing some issues with the Securtiy Cert. It should be fixed in the next few hours.

As for the side loading tray, we are working on a new idea. Its not perfected yet, so as of now you can only apply text and images on the top of the foam. Soon we will have side text areas that will allow people that side load trays to read what is inside. Coming soon, so keep an eye out.

Romeo

I actually just manually removed the 's' from the https and it worked fine for me (ordered a tray Sunday night).

It was wonky, though.

kudos and keep up the good work!
BLARGAG!!!

I heard you on 40K radio and D6, I want a shammy with my order! hahah.

Looks good brother, say hi to Kyle Kinghorn for me, he is a great guy and an old gaming buddy of mine.

I am going to be getting a baneblade foam set, that sounds ace.

I talked with Romeo over the phone, he hooked me up with some custom trays for my FW Vulture gunships, cant wait to see them!!!
