Lookin good as always can't wait for the release.

Hi. I'm not at home so can't see if you have sent me an email, but haven't heard back from you regarding both the email I sent youre website, or the PM I sent to you on this site. It should be in youre inbox now lol if you haven't checked!

Basically I would love to pre order one now to get one of the first batch, but as I live in the UK I am concerned with both postage but mainly import tax. Obviously there are ways round that lol, but not sure how you feel about things. I'd love a big case and am now on holiday for a week so can discuss at any time realy. Feel free to pm me any specific details.

Keep up the great work. The bags look amazing and I realy would love to get my hands on 1! Plus more in the not so distant future!!!

Made my pre-order for one of the large ones today.

Sorry for callin ya on the road Romeo, good luck at the tourney!

Also, can I please have a bit of clarification on the number of trays that you can fit in each of the bags? From what I can see the small bag is 6" and the large bag is 22". Looking at the load outs that does mean you can fit 6 1" trays or any mix of large or small trays totalling 6", but does this rule apply to the larger bag aswell or does the bottom of the tray over a large ammount of trays take up sme of this space?

The P.A.C.K 432 has the potential to hold 432 minis. 72 x 6 =432.

The P.A.C.K 1520 has the potential to holld 1520 minis, but 21 x 72 =1512 and 22 x 72 =1584. This does not add up to the name so I am confused.

Now this in no way worries me at all. The product is fantastic and whatever it holds is a hell of a lot more than the competition. My queston is raised so that I can plan my trays and see what I need etc. Like most gamers, I have a lot of different armies of varying sizes and I just want to work out what I need for the moment and what else I will want in the near future! So if you could just let me know what mix of trays can be put in the bottom that would be great. Obviuosly the top will hold 6" or 6 small trays as this is the same size as the 432, but to know if any mix of tray sizes in inches will fit in the bottom of the bag would be great!

Hope that makes sense.

Video link is busted >.< PLEASE FIX!

How much do these custom trays cost?
Are they always the same price or does this depend on the size of the models send in.

I'm making do with mostly 1.5 inch Sabol trays, but I can see that might get a bit ridiculous in your case.

Current "Load Outs" look great. When are the next ones coming out? Is it going to be a few a week or will they get faster?

Very nice. I like the bags..

May I suggest that you rewatch the video and do some editing and scripting. In a few places it seems you either forget what you are talking about or start rambling..

Again, I really like the pre-loads.. I'll take a look at your website and see what I like.

Since the upper portion of the big bag is nearly identical to the small bag, why didn't you add the pockets and such to it, allowing for all the more storage of items?

Sgt Diablo wrote:Ghost In The Darkness - This depends on the case you buy. We can fit 5 Leman Russ per 3" tray. Since you can fit 6 inches of foam in a 432 and 22 inches of foam in a 1520, then you can do the math on that one. Simply put, lots and lots of tanks.

Jbuckmaster - I'm not really sure what Gear From Heavy Gears are. I'm sure we could custom cut something for you, but I would need you to call us and discuss the options. We can make it work so let us know.

Those guys. And before anyone asks, no this isn't an attempt to promote it. I just want to know what the odds of me finding something better for transporting them than my Plano dual rifle case.

It would be more ridiculous if I was planning on transporting my older figs instead of just the 70ish new ones.

Im liking this stuff a lot more the more I see it. Unfortunate I already have a sabol division, motor pool, and regular transport cases.

How thick can you make each tray? I would like to find a way to transport a soul grinder in one of your trays with sabol dimensions.

Understandable. I'm trying to keep one tray/faction, with a dedicated tray or trays for armor, strider, and infantry each as they tend to be taller (or shorter for infantry).

Ok,

A comment, an offer and a question.

Comment: I am totally impressed with your products and love the pre loadout ideas. Im a Space Marine Player and love how you have designed the SM specific load out trays. Please keep up the good work this is a great time to be a gamer thanks to people like you.

Offer: I want to give you an open invitation to come on the This Week in Wargaming podcast anytime as a guest to talk about what you guys have done here. The more we can all spread the word the better, as I love everything you are doing with this system.

Question: I like the pre loadouts, but my army is a bit different I was wondering if it would be possible to say ask for something like this: I have 3 predators, 3 rhinos, 3 landspeeders,2 dreads, 2 drop pods, 6 terminators, one LandRaider and 31 marines including 4 heavy weapons. Would that be enough info for a customized loadout or would I need to trace out the entire army? It seems like I could fit this entire force into one of the smaller bags but I plan to buy a full IG army when the new Codex comes out so I was considering buying the big bag with a customized loadout for my army that would fit in the upper bad and then leave the lower bag for all my baneblades, valkyries and tanks once I get my IG. I think that would be an awesome example of how versatile the set is and since you already have pre designed cutout sizes for the standard units in each army a buyer could just give you the unit breakdown and get a customized loadout just for thier own army without needed to trace out the entire force since they are all standard troops.

Cant wait to get my bag either way, this is the best thing to happen to guys like me who always have travel damage due to the clutz factor

Any possibility of combining the 432 and the 1520?

A zipper added to the back of the 432 would seem to enable it to replace the top part of the 1520.
Now that would be one versatile piece of kit.

To be perfectly honest, i find these cases to be pretty nice and I would love to own one. However, at $150, even the cheapest P.A.C.K feels morbidly over priced. I'm not looking to start a price war about them, I would assume their pricing them to what they feel their worth, however for those of us who are gaming on modest budgets, buying one of these systems is a no-go. They look nice and really convenient, I would love to own one, but my wallet just can't take that sort of bite for a carrier! If I was new to the hobby, maybe... probably. But for me they're just out of my league.

I watched your infomercial. Originally I wasnt impressed with battle foams high prices, but after looking at how many models a sheet can hold, the pricing does seem to be in the correct ball park. Also the quality speaks for itself. After also reading that players have to sometimes put tissue to prevent the foam cut squares stuff, I was pretty much sold on battle foam.

I have yet to buy an army carrying case (for my necrons) , but when I do (before the next GT) I think I'll be spending the extra cash on battle foam.

ps not related in any way to battle foam or whatever. just a gamer

Question for Sgt Diablo, do you have a cut that fits a necron monolith? I would put that on semi priority if you do not, as many a Necron player has come to the crossroads of a transporting a monolith only to be left to his own devices (shoebox anyone?).

I haven't seen any updates on these forums or your site for a few weeks... Whats going on? I'm a little worried about my fantasy pre-order since the pre loads don't look like they will be done by the release date. (April 15th if I remember right). Let us know eh.

Vreda - You have nothing to be worried about. The reason we have not been on the forums is because we have been swamped with orders. We are working round the clock to get everyones orders ready for the launch. Pre Load Outs for specific armies may not all show up on our site before April 15th, but that does not mean that if you ordered one your not getting it. It just means that we may not make them available to the general public.

Since you pre ordered your bag and paid for it you will have everything you need shipped as planed on April 15th. If you have any specific questions, please call us so we can help.

Also, we are doing a complete redesign of our site at this time so new products are not being uploaded since the new site will be up in just a few more days.

Hope this helps.

With that, I am content. Thank you and keep up the good work.

So I am just wondering how thick each piece of foam is on the SM load out for 1520 AND how man inches can the top part of the 1520 hold? I just need to know so my friend and I can figure out who will need the top part of the bag and who will need the bottom part. I will be ordering one of these after my next round of little plastic men (if any are left )

Well from the video, the top part of the 1520 is the same size as the 432..

Well, since I can't find the thread...

As some of you recall I bought some foam trays awhile back and found that they couldn't fit some of the oversized Eldar models in my army. Battlefoam kindly offered to send me replacements, which arrived today.



I'm very happy with the fit. I have some spare room to add Harlequins or another Guardian Squad. The slots where I have the Dire Avengers also fit Howling Banshees as I tried those out for it too.

There are also 4 large spaces on each tray that fit Exarchs and other oddly shaped models (I have a Guardian weapons controller in one and some Rangers with long rifles in the other tray).

JUst wanted to update.
