USPS said the package left the good ol You-Ess-of-Aye on April 16th and it arrived at my door at noon on April 23rd, not bad at all if you ask me.



Nice big box that weighd next to nothing lol.




First impressions finally holding it was amazing. Construction is solid and this beast seems indestructible, even threw it around abit just to see. A note on the bag finish the flash was abit hars so you can see the grain texture quite abit. But i assure you real life the finish looks awsome.



Went with the IG pre-load out as it will be my bigest army by far and having all of it in one place will be great. Now i don't have enough built to fill all this foam but damnit i am working on it!

Foam itself is sturdy and dense as previoulsy reviewed, feel alot better knowing my minis will be sleeping more snug from now on. Tank fitment is like a glove as is the HVY WPN teams, infantry etc. Only prob so far is my custom Sentinels are abit too tall at the roof to fit flush with the top of the foam, i get about 1/16" sticking out.





Taking the top off is a breeze as is putting it back on. Tons of space in here and nice too see for the IG load out that it fills the whole bag which is nice.

Again can't say enough about the construction and sturdiness of the bag. I know there are alot of gripers about the price of the bag and thats fine, this isn't for you than but don't litter the replys with firing, this bag is worth every penny.

Here's some samples of my PDF Hive and City tanks that will take up a small amount of this space hehe.

Since you bought your PACK with the pre-cut foam loadout, which is not offered anymore, would you recommend another person buy the same product that they're now offering? That is, is the same thing worth $100 more dollars, in your opinion?

No more pre-load outs eh......

I would still stand by the worthwhile ness of the product. There would be a point of increase that would negate the feasability of what it does.

Thing is if you have the money i think this is a worthwhile investment to protect the already big investment of the hobby on a whole. I have easily spent this much on GeeDub cases which can hold and do much less than the package as a whole.

Especially now that my painting skills have increased over time and i want to take much more care of my minis and the tightness of this foam does just that.

Perhaps the big bag isn't for you and the smaller one would work great but being as i can fit all my guard when completed into here i would have paid the extra 100 bux.....but not too much more hehe.

You can still buy loadout packs along with an empty bag, depending on the loudout, they cost $90 for the space marine loadout, to a $144 for the ork loudout with a lot of cuts in the foam. It seems the more miniature slots you need, the higher the cost which is fitting.

So depending on what army you play, you might only pay $40 more than the pre-order price.

That's actually a really neat product. Mind sharing the company so I can look them up? I don't need the bag, but those trays look great...

Same company, www.battlefoam.com. They make trays for GW and Sabol Cases too, so if its just the foam you want, it's all good.

Wow... They seriously did stop selling the combos... There went my buy. I'm not shelling out almost $200 for an empty pack and another $150 for the foam. that's just stupid.

Ah, OK. Thought "battle foam" was just a descriptor. That's pretty awesome, thanks!

Quick question about BattleFoam: Do they ship overseas to Britain? Also do they accept paypal?
