I've recently just realized how much models I've collected, and I was beginning to ponder on the thought of purchasing a war-gaming bag to transport them here and there. I've had my eyes set on warmachine battlefoam bag and I wish to carry my 40k models in it as well as my warmachine models (not at the same time, just one or the other). Now let's say I brought my new warmachine bag to a 40k tournament. Will other players furious when they'll see that I've brought a bag that isn't proper for the occasion, or will they let it slide?

Or am I overreacting about this?

Cheers!

I dont think anyone would give any guff over it, but stranger/dumber things have happened.

If you don't care then it doesn't matter. Let them get their panties in a bunch while you enjoy your awesome bags.

yeah, it doesnt matter whats on the bag. Someone may make a snide remark or poke a bit of fun, but no one will really give you a hard time.

Keep in mind tho, Battlefoam works with each game company to design a unique bag for their company's models. I wish this was not the case, but I guess Romeo thinks he can sell more bags and make more money that way. The trays from the Warmachine bag wont fit into the P.A.C.K. system bags and vice versa. The P.A.C.K. system trays wont fit in the Flames of War bags, the Flames of War trays wont fit in the Malifaux bags, on and on, ad infinitum.

BUT, they make pre-cut trays that are custom designed for that game-system's models...so if you collect Dark Eldar and want the fancy pre-cut Dark Eldar trays, then you'll need a P.A.C.K. system bag, because they wont go in your Warmachine bag. If you have a big 40k army in a P.A.C.K. bag and you want to grab pre-cut trays for some Warmachine models, you're out of luck there too...I recommend grabbing some pluck foam trays, or using the custom tray editor to design your own cut-outs if you want to stick to one bag type.

I messed up and got the Flames of War bag, Malifaux bag and P.A.C.K. 720....My Warmachine stuff is all in Sabol army transports....so my system is all out of whack...

Hindsight is 20/20

I've got a mate who carries his Infinity models in a GW figure case, and another who carries his 40k in a Battlefoam Infinity alpha case.

Another carries his WM in a "Flames of War" case.

In each case, it is because they have multiple trays to fit one case and just use the case shell to transport it.

OP: You're overthinking it.

It's not like Battlefoam is owned by PP anyway. It's just another third company. I don't think anyone anywhere will care.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll purchase that lovely battlefoam bag this weekend (i checked it out today, and by the gods it's huge).

You can always go KR Multicase; they don't play silly fitment games.

got the bag! it is very large and full of handy pockets.
