Privateer Press Announces Official Miniatures Carrying Cases

Bellevue, WA November 11/18/2009— Privateer Press is pleased to announce it has licensed the rights to create official miniatures carrying cases for its award winning WARMACHINE and HORDES miniatures games to Battle Foam.

The Battle Foam WARMACHINE and HORDES miniature carrying cases are scheduled to release in January 2010 to coincide with the release of WARMACHINE Prime Mk II. Each case holds 161models and is reinforced with hard plastic to form a protective shell around the figures. In addition are several pockets to hold gaming accessories as well as an interior binder clip to hold card sheets.

Battle Foam also plans to release special faction-specific foam tray sets that will include custom-cut trays to carry the more irregular models. These sets will be available in the months following the main product’s release.

What size foam are these?

Hi,

All the details will be released on December 15th. Pricing, sizes, foam tray info, and pictures along with videos of the bags. Stay tuned. Very exciting stuff.

Romeo

Kudos on that deal Romeo.

Interesting. It would seem that Battlefoam is taking off.

Romeo's post makes me think these will be incompatible with his existing line. I'm not existing BF customer because I'm pretty much locked in to Sabol at this point, but I think having multiple sizes of trays for various bag lines could be problematic for them.

Hi,

Flachzange - Thanks for the kind words.

Arschbombe - Not to worry my friends. We are adding additional warehouse space and our grotz have nowhere to run. I keep all of them chained to our machines to make sure they don't get to far behind.

Romeo
Battle Foam

A nice coup, definitely. I reckon dedicated bags for Warmachine/Hordes will be well received.

When can we see pictures of the bags?

YES! This is very exciting news indeed! Can't wait for more info!

Gratz, Romeo - looks like you and the folks at Battle Foam have hit the big time! Always nice to see a local boy done good.

Hi,

Death By Monkeys, Tizz, Agamemnon2, - Thanks guys.

Sarge - Pictures of the bags will be up later next week. We will have a full review of with video showing the trays that come with the bags and all the cool features the bag will have. I can promise you that everything a hordes or warmachine player ever needed can be found in the bag.

Great to hear this, I'm definitly looking forward to seeing more PP Trays.

I suppose your open to doing 'official' trays and bags for other gaming companies that are open to it?

Wish you best of luck, glad to hear things are working out just fine.

Cyporien - LOL, I know the direction your heading, but we already went down that road. GW said they are totally happy with their plastic cases. They had no intrest in protecting the minitures they build. Oh well, you can drag a horse to water but you can't make them drink. Anyway, they are super busy sending out C&D letters to everyone how could they ever find time to partner up with all the small companies that make their hobby grow???

Navarro - Thanks man.

Romeo
Battle Foam

Actually, I wasn't talking about GW. I'm thinking more along the lines of smaller indie gaming companies, like Dream Pod 9 or Urban Mammoth. I know that I'll be recommending BF to our customers once the product that I can't currently talk about get released, and it would be great to have 'Official Trays'.

So. Very. Cool!!!

cyporiean - we are always interested in helping the hobby community. Anyone who would like to work with us can always contact us from our site. Feel free to pass the word along if you are in contact with these or any other smaller companies.

Thanks

Congrats, Romeo. You've made it big!

Now get an UK distributor, damn you >.<

Apparently he is in talks with Walyand games or has already sent product to them.

Hi,

Lord_blackfang - Ozymandias has it right. We have been working out the details with Wayland over the past week. Their first shipment of goodies should go out very soon. We are currently working out the customs and tid bits. I'm guessing within 30 to 45 days you'll have all the Battle Foam you could ever want on your side of the pond. Check in with the gang at Wayland for details. It would not hurt to give them a call and pre order some items. I'm sure they'll sell out of their first stash quickly.

Romeo

Hey congrats Romeo, that is great news for ya (and us!)

Awesome stuff!


REALLY AWESOME STUFF.


Heh.


Question - are you going to be holding the stuff - or is privateer also going to sell from their own distributors.

Hi,

RogueMarket - We will be handling all the distro for the bags and foam. We have several thousand square feet dedicated to the new bag line so stock of the product should never be a problem. Since we manufacture all of the foam in house trays will be ready at a moments notice.

If any retailers or distributors are interested in carrying this amazing new product please contact us and ask to be directed to Kara in the sales department.

Here direct email is kara@battlefoam.com

Hope that helps.

GW said they are totally happy with their plastic cases. They had no intrest in protecting the minitures they build. Oh well, you can drag a horse to water but you can't make them drink. Anyway, they are super busy sending out C&D letters to everyone how could they ever find time to partner up with all the small companies that make their hobby grow???


Did GW really tell you this? That they have no interest in protecting their miniatures? Hmmmm......... Are you still planning on making GW trays?

Hi,

Kinggames - They did not say they didn't want to protect their models, they just said they did not want us to build something for them to protect their models. As you know the GW plastic case is not ideal so we can all take that how we want. We'll keep making BF trays to fit GW cases but that's just to help customers out. At this time we are not working with GW or ever have worked with them on any projects. Its a shame to be honest. They do alot of good things, but they are just to stuck on themselves to ever see the light.

If they opened up their business minds to the smaller companies in the industry they would do so much better overall. Small businesses would grow, their name would grow and so on. GW is a very odd company.

C&D letters to its fans and fellow business for what. Its not like people will ever stop buying their stuff.

Anyway, we are delighted that Battle Front, and Privateer Press gave us the chance to earn their business and their trust. We stand by our quality and our products. How can 3 great companies working together for the hobby be a bad thing.

GW should take some notes. Its not a surprise that FOW and PP are growing so quickly.

Romeo
Battle Foam

Word.

PP and FOW FTW.

I don't play any PP game, so I will not be interested in this line of products. However, I think it's a big step for BF. Cheers Romeo, this only can be good!

And now Infinity bags! Licensed by Corvus Belli! With a Spanish distributor!

Went to preorder mine today but preorders have been pushed back :( Romeo when can we except the some pictures/video about the bag?

Hi Alucard56,

We are actually posting it up on the 21st. We just uploaded some new software for video editing and we wanted to get our heads around it first. We want the new bag videos to be really cool to make sure the bags are shown in all their glory. The street date has not changed its just the pre ordering has been pushed back until Monday. Stay tuned. Thanks

Romeo

While I don't play any PP games, I just got the Flames of War case by BattleFoam yesterday and it is just brilliant. If the PP bag is the same quality of design then I'm sure it'll be a hit.
