I figured that the members posting here would know how to properly trasnposrt minis, but if im wrong, tell me the appropriate place to post it so i can get the help i need

I need to find a cost effective, but safe way to transposrt figures from location to location.
Plus, they're orks, so they're just sprinkled with bits that could fall off at any momernt
help?

What kind of travelling are you expecting to do? If it's just local, glue a magnet inside the base of each figure and then transport them inside a steel tool box

I do not understand the words "cost effective" since I play 40K.

Sabol all the way.

would one of thoes boxes with like egg carton cushion in it work?

This should really be in discussions not schedule a game.

This is definitely not the right place. Schedule a Game is used for finding games/setting up games/finding other gamers.

Moving to Dakka Discussions.

get a good tackle box. They are pretty cheap

(in the future you probably want to title your posts more specifically).

Sabol are good; even if you use a different case with the foam inserts. A cheap pistol or rifle case can get you by. The Warstore has two kinds of cardboard boxes with Sabol-style 'pick and pull' foam inserts that are wicked cheap. Frankly, the GW cases are pretty decent.

Three basic ways some of which have been suggested above.

1. Steel toolbox and glue a magnet in the base of each figure. Just wad your vehicles and MCs with bubblewrap and put them in the base compartment. Good for short journeys.

2. Get cheapo plastic briefcases and have rippled foam cut to size. It works really well for individual figures as long as they don't have a lot of sticky-out bits. It doesn't work so well for vehicles -- you have to be more careful about the foam.

The GW figure cases are just a super expensive version of this idea, in black with some skulls on.

3. Purpose built army transporter (Sabol, etc) which usually have foam with cutouts that hold the figures and vehicles individually. You can get these in all sorts of sizes and prices up to the kind of rolling hard case that professional photographers use for putting their kit in the check-in baggage. This is really good if you are going a long way, without a car, and have a big army. Everything is done for you so it saves a lot of work, and you should find the cutout holes are good for storing your sticky-out bit figures.

Edit: Sorry, I accidentally posted this in the wrong thread!

sorry bout piosting in the wrong place
but thatnks for the help

I think if you're running the 180 ork mob the GW case is great. Not as great for vehicles.

What models are you transporting, how far will you typically be transporting them and WHAT will you be in?

I mean, are you playing Trukk Boyz? Mobs? Is this for travel to a tourney or for a car ride to your buddy's house or the game store?
