I'm going away to university soon and I want a nice safe way to store them, I would like something like this: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1095468
only.. not as insanely expensive for some plastic and foam.

Any cheaper options elsewhere? what do you guys use?

Also if this is the inappropriate forum, apologies, just move it to where it should be please.

And thanks if anyone can help me out.

That's actually not a terrible price, compared to Battlefoam, Sabol, KR, or similar. Especially if an on-line retailer or FLGS can order it with a bit of a discount.

Depending on your needs, you can also look at getting trays from the above (Google'em) and storing them in cardboard boxes.

I prefer Battlefoam myself, but they may not be the best solution for you. To be honest, there's a degree of the same 'thing' in army cases now that golfers have with expensive feature-rich golf bags and such.The cheap option does the core job, but the alternatives offer various features for prices ranging from 'slightly more' to 'ridiculous.'

Working on someting you'll either love or hate. Hopefully to be revealed by November.

I just thought to check ebay for any cheap ones and there's some guy selling these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KR-Multicase-Army-Figure-Case-with-Foam-Trays-Holds-116-Figures-Multi-List-/251063407732?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&var=&hash=item3a748b9474

do they look any good? I'm thinking of getting the £22.98 box with 2xinfantry 1xcavalry trays, you think they will fit my orc/marines/eldars nicely? Kind of hard to tell from the pictures.

Those are KR multicase, which is the way to go for a good product at a lower price.

Their site should have details for you: http://www.krmulticase.com/default.aspx

Battlefoam is overpriced an more expensive than GW.

KR is really good stuff, and really is the best budget storage and transport system about. So if you are looking to take it to uni or just want a way to keep stuff safe while you are away this will do the trick.

Me I have 5 now and will be getting more soon.

That said I do note that Fieldherr now have a card case system, not seen it so can comment on price or quality. It might be worth a look.

NOTE: if this is for storage while you are away, tell you parents/siblings not to throw this away and mark the box as such. There are too many threads about armies in the trash while away at uni!

For cheap storage that KR you linked in your second post is the way to go.
