My only gripe about it is the lack of a shoulder strap though I plan on changing that. It does have two handles though so it's not impossible to carry, don't get me wrong. The GW cases don't have shoulder straps either, so carrying it and a couple GW cases can be uncomfortable.

The best things is by just switching out any extra trays you can take whatever you need that particular day. The front pouch will hold about 4-5 codex, haven't tried putting a BGB in it before since I carry the BFM mini book with me. Pouches hold dice and markers.

I'm going to get a tackle box for my Marines since there are less and they take up more room in the Sabol style trays, I think I will be magnetizing the bases so they stand upright inside (wish I had a picture, one of the other guys has been using cooking pans the height of the models inside with no sliding). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/252864.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/252864.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/252892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/252892.page GMT
My gaming group has started using magnetized bases to transport guys. If your guys are uniform height (and not too tall) you can combine the magnetized bases with the army transport foam trays. Just rip out all the foam in the middle and glue some sheet metal into the bottom. This is nice - lets you have the advantages of the army transport (strap, decent bag, pockets, good for vehicles) and gives you more density when transporting a lot of same-height dudes (gaunts, most IG, my kroot).

I use plastic stackable Sterilite tubs for transporting my tanks. If you just cut two pieces of foam one for the top and one for the bottom it works quite well and they're cheap too (buy 'em at Wal Mart for a few bucks).

For the infantry sized models I have also found that Wal Mart has these really compact four tray tackle boxes that are capable of being hung on the wall. They are basically a plastic cage that holds the four trays so they take up a very minimal amount of space and the plastic is just sturdy enough that it doesn't feel flimsy. I really can't recommend them enough I've bought something like four of them since I discovered them. My only complaint is that for metal models you need to insert a small piece of foam into each compartment to keep your guys from bouncing around. The foam from blister packs works perfect for this though.

I tried to find a picture on Wal Mart's web site (and a few other web sites) and I didn't have much luck so your mileage may vary as to whether you can even find these things locally.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/253202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/253202.page GMT
I got a Skirmishpack from www.charonproductions.com, GW was apparently seeling them for awhile at one point. They've got slightly more capacity than the big GW hardshell cases. (same doublewide area for foam, but can fit about 1 more tray deep) Use the same foam as the GW cases, and when you order it, if you ask nicely, he'll put whatever design you want on the front of the case. They also come in "scoutpack" which is one foam tray wide, and "Battlepack" which is 3 foam trays wide.

I never actually got around to carving out the foam for my models, which is good because now I've come up with something new.

I'm going to use a soccer bag and steal tomguycot's idea with the stackable sterelite tubs and just put them inside the soccer bag.

I use this incredibly cheap soft yellow foam they had. It comes in big strips of a foot by an inch, so I made a card frame that fell into the toolbox, put some cardboard in that as a floor, then ran the strips up and across on a per-miniature basis. I can make space for forty troopers in twenty minutes and I've never damaged one, and I can stack the sheets five high letting me transport two hundred men in a single, 30 dollar box. The original hinges worried me so I replaced them with steel ones, but other than that the box is unmodified. Yes, it's a huge bloody box, no, it doesn't matter. I actually bough a second one when my guard army got out of control big, allowing my to carry almost all of my entire demi-regiment in my hands! Thank god they were all plastic.

When I started my armoured company for imperial guard (when I say armoured company, I mean it. Understand when I finished with my guard army I could technically field thirty two tanks not including transports) I got a second box, this one a repurposed "universal heavy tool carrier" originally intended to carry chainsaws and the like. I can put my entire armoured company in it, and it even has compartments for the turrets from my russes and the cannons from my laser tank destroyers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/254262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/254262.page GMT GW case, only no Imperial Eagle on it, and it's about 2-2.5 times bigger. I think it was meant to transport large camera or audio equipment. Then at the last gun show, I picked up a huge piece of dark foam for about $15 and cut it up. Perfect for my largest army (Ultramarines). I bought a case similar to the GW one at Games Day 98 in Baltimore (they didn't make their own case back then) and I found another of the exact same case used at the local gun store. Those are currently storing my Eldar. I have an actual rifle case (big enough to fit two or three rifles in it) for my Empire army, Then I did the metal briefcase looking toolbox deal with extra foam for my Tyranids though they're growing bigger so I'll have to get something new for them soon. The rest of my odds and end figures, half completed armies, etc are all stored in plastic containers.

For anybody wanting the foam for a case, but don't want to pay GW, Reaper, or anybody else's prices for them, I get mine kind of in bulk at gun shows, but I've found this is a pretty good website if you just want to order it off the net.

I had teh same thing happen. Thankfully most of them were unpainted, but it was annoying. I lost a few limbs from my figs that are now a permanant part of the sabol case. Not only that the foam board that the foam walls are glued to used to be if not still are pretty damn hard so your figs often break in the case if you drop it or anything unexpected happens.

Sorry, lost track of this thread for a while. Those cases you picked up sound pretty much like what I have. I've collected 3 or 4 varieties as I've expanded my collection. We've got a place 'round where I live called Farm and Fleet. I got a couple from there. I'm pretty sure a couple of them came from Gander Mountain, and Cabella's should stock something similar. Any sporting/outdoors/farm-n-barn type place should have something. It's just a matter of comparison shopping and waiting for a sale.

I'd choose them over any of the other cases I've seen out there. They're by far the most affordable, and they're quite easy to handle due to their size. I figure most tournament armies should fit into two, maybe three if you've got a real horde.

Little tip for the Sabol users:
The foam is connected to the bases of the trays via glue. When you tear out your foam columns to fit your models, you often get it out with no foam chunks still connected to the bottom. This leaves glue residue as the topmost layer of the tray. I found that, in the hot summertime days in my car, the glue would soften and my painstakingly and meticulously painted Eldar would stick to the bottom of the trays. When I would remove Guardians, arms would be stuck and I would inevitably pull one off the model. Some lost chunks of paint to the glue. This happened ONCE before I devised a remedy for the problem...

I cut out rectangles of aluminum foil to fit the holes made for the models and glued them down to the exposed tray. Viola! No more gluey death for my stuff. Now they go back to dying to Ordinance like they do...

This is the Plano 1404 pistol case. It comes with a layer of pick and pull foam on the bottom, a layer of eggcrate in the middle and a layer of eggcrate in the lid. I picked up two of these at Wal-mart for $8.00 a piece.

I cut holes out of my purchased foam and glued the foam on to foam board to add rigidity. You can get the proper fit by drawing around the foam inserts that come out of the Plano case. You have to fiddle with the foam board to get the proper fit as the original foam is held in by being bigger than the case but once you have the fit you can save it as a template and create as many as you need.

After ordering all this foam and trying to be cheap my wife goes to Ft. Collins, CO for a girls weekend and comes back with a Sabol Army Transport she picked up on clearance from Hobbytown. I love her. And now with all this extra foam I can make a poop load of extra trays for the Sabol. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/264987.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/264987.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/265379.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/265379.page GMT
BWAAAAA-hahahahahahaha-hahahahaha... *snort*


Foam N' More! A buddy told me about this site some time ago. Couple of years, I think. He showed me the site but I couldn't remember it later to check them out. Thanks for the reminder!

I've almost finished my awesome Necron army ( 7 immortals to go ), and am going to have to figure a way of carring the 30 troop models and 3 monoliths around safely (the nearest place to game other than my own house requires a 20 minute train journey)

I like the sound of the Football bag with tubs stacked inside, this could be cheap and effective

Alternatively I've seen some KR 'Double' Alluminium cases.. hmm..

Steering towards the football bag idea since I can store multiple armys in cheap tubs and just put em in the bag when needed. But one question, my dad has access to loads of bubblewrap at his workplace and I figure bubblewrap is better for the Tubs anyway. Is that right?

Somehow I can imagine something going nastily wrong like the magnetic bases flying towards the tape measure

I guess I could just find some Sabol/GW Foam trays to be put in the tubs (can be hard getting Sabol in the UK), or would it be better to find some other brand of foam?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/308282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/308282.page GMT UK I'd suggest Kaiser Rushforth

I live in the states and just recently bought two of their aluminum-double cases. They're quite excellent. As you're in the UK you can easily go with just their cardboard cases or foam without being murdered on shipping.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/308308.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/308308.page GMT GW stuff.

I've got a reaper case that my nurgle-skaven army lives in, and I buy a lot of reaper trays on eBay to put models in and then put the trays into (liquor ) boxes for transport to the store and back. Cheaper than Sabol trays, though smaller, and I can swap my ogres out for the reaper case for bigger rides.

I also have an Army Transport case for CSM boys, but that's largely because of all the demon princes, vehicles, random big stuff. Frankly AT is better than Reaper transports IMO, but Reaper is a bit cheaper in the end.

My GW case is nice for armies that are nearly all infantry (demons) but generally requires a second box / foam tray to hold the bigger stuff (DP, soul grinder).

The foam can be torn to whatever depth or length you like so all 3 of my tanks fit just fine in there. The only annoyance I have had with this case was tearing all the foam for my infantry but once you get the case configured it is very nice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/309658.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/309658.page GMT GW cases at crimbo for my admech, big mistake. They're big and bulky and the internal layout wastes a lot of space.It fits about two banblades (with turrets next to the hull). I reconment a battle hive, it fits 40marine per level (you will need to varnish them as to fit thismany they are separated by squad lines rather than individually, but I've used it for a few years now and not had any major probs.

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.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/309952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/309952.page GMT

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.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/310002.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/310002.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/311425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208371/311425.page GMT
