So I'm a new IG player and I just realized that I am going to need some way of transporting my army and I was wondering if Dakka could help me find a case I am looking for something which will hold at least
100 infantry units
3 tanks
8 heavy weapon squads
and optionally a Valkyrie
I am looking to get the best quality that I can for the least amount of cash (I can dream can't I?) So Dakka what is the best case for me?

Battlefoam. Get one case that can hold all that you mentioned and a few bags of bits and chips and more in one of the best and beastily cases you will ever want to dream to own and it costs 175, most can be custom fit so you could probably get soemthing to hold two valks, 4 tanks, 100 dudes and more! its about 75 more then the GW BIG infintry case (which admitidly holds alot more troops, but thats about it!) and those cost 100....


So my vote is on battlefoam. best ever

If you don't want to make your own, go battlefoam.

I would suggest buying some egg crate foam, and lining a small suitcase with it. You can have multiple layers. So tanks and HWS on the bottom, then like 2 (or 3) layers of infantry stacked above. Certainly IMO the cheapest way to go.

I have also heard gun cases work well, though they are admittedly easier to get in the states. Rifle size cases could work real well.

While Battlefoam is a great product, it's expensive as sin. Your paying for a hell of a product from what I see though. For what you have though, a standard Sabol case with some different height foam should work just fine. Get some 3 inch foam for the tanks, and get 4 trays of 1 inch foam for the infantry. There should still be some space left to get another layer for gun teams.

This company has the cheapest I've seen though:

So I have decided to go with a Battlefoam 720 thanks for the help
