I'm not sure if this subject belongs in here or not.

I plan on doing a very silly VC army that will contain over 300 zombies, with necromancers as well as a vampire lord. I want to plan this ahead and tackle every issue before I decide if this is something I can accomplish. Aside from the actual will power to build and paint that many models, I have to worry about space. I live in a small apartment that is filled with books, video games and other stuff. I need a case where I can fill in all the models without taking so much room. I have a army transport bag, but that currently holds Chaos Space Marines, and I have a small case from GW that holds my Hordes of Chaos. Should I use a shoe box or is there a small transport case that can house many infantry models I don't know about. I could use some expert opinion here.

If you're just going to toss the zombies in a box anyway, why not get a few trays for the Army Transport bag and hollow out all of the individual spaces?

Well I do care for my models well being. They cost money. Lots of money. So don't want to just toss em in a box unless I have the sides lined with foam or something.

Easiest thing I can think of is a plastic tub (doesn't need to be tall at all) with sheetmetal glued to the bottom of it. Magnetize the bases of the models and the zombies can stand up in the tub.

You can also use sheetmetal for your movement trays then as well.

What lormax said.

The problem with tossing models in a box isn't that they hit the sides - it's that they hit each other. Magnetizing them to keep them in place, without being in foam, is a great option.

You could always be creative and Blu-tac them all to the ceiling. Might freak guests out though. Still, space is space.

my brother bought a cheap rifle case with the foam inside. it holds a TON of minis, its cheap, and he didnt hollow anything out. check into it. i think he sent like 20 bucks-ish on the case?
