The new custom made tray set for Dreadfleet is now available on our website.

Carry all of the set (ships, scenery, cards, etc) in custom made trays in any of our standard size cases - Aluminium, Kaiser1, Backpack, K-Lite, Card. The safest way to carry these miniatures is in soft foam trays that protect all the fragile parts and don't damage the paint. Perfect timing for Christmas!

The trays available individually from the custom tray page on the website.

The KR system is based around the philosophy of “soft foam for figures, hard cases for soft foam”. Gamers usually have to accept hard foam and hard tray bases as other transport systems for miniature figures require this hard foam/tray base combination due to the need to stack trays in tall piles in a soft outer bag. This in turn means that the trays must always be carried horizontal because as soon as they are carried side on your models will be in contact with the hard tray base of the tray above, which leads to broken models and scuffed paint.

Because of the problems with storing and transporting miniatures, the KR system is designed to provide protection for all armies from small to large. KR trays are manufactured from soft high tensile foam which cares much better for your figures as it supports your models and does not damage the paint finish.

Because the tray bases in KR trays are the same foam as the tray itself, your figures have all-round protection - a KR case can be carried or stored in any orientation (flat, side on, even upside down) and always keep your miniatures safe.

These trays in a standard card case start at only £29.99 of course just like all KR products the price includes postage.

You can see the full range on our new website at https://www.krmulticase.com

KR – soft foam for figures, hard cases for soft foam !

Update: All advance orders have been shipped, new stock will be available by the end of November and shipped out as soon as possible,

Now time to bring on the Necrons?

I would have been more excited if it fit inside the original box...

When all the models are assembled it is not possible to fit them all back in the original box (no matter how you arrange them) and still close the lid so we did not go that route. The tray set as shown above gives you the choice of 5 different cases styles to keep your Dreadfleet collection in.

Just to play the Devil's advocate on this one... If its impossible how did Battlefoam do it?

They didn't. The lid doesn't close all the way down on the BF solution either. But almost

And personally I also think that Battlefoams solution was the better of the two. While the foam is 1'' too high (at the most), it's still solid enough that I can pack other games on top of both my Dreadfleet and Space Hulk boxes without any trouble what so ever.

Cheers

Simple answer is they didn't. Quote from them regarding that set "...the foam trays will not allow the game box lid to completely close flush. The top box lid will sit about ¾” higher than normal."

Tha'ts still not bad. When you have limited storage space, having trays that fit in the box and still let it close enough that you can store it away like that, it's a good option where you don't have to have another miniatures case plus the game box lying around somewhere.

Not belittling the product, but when it comes to storage and saving space, especially in a boxed game where you will want to keep everything together, having an option that keeps it all securly in one box is good.
