Not normally.
Make sure they are packed in a manner that you can easily open them up then pack them back up again though. If your luggage goes through an X-Ray, it can show up somewhat odd - and curious security personnel will generally want to take a look.

Flew from Daytona Beach to Las Vegas with two of these as carry-ons:
filled with metal and resin models, no issues at all.

Your real problems will be the X-Ray guy wondering "what the hell's that?" so just make sure they're packed in such a way that you can easily unpack them and repack them if security wants to take a look. Also, make sure it's small enough to fit in the overhead bin without having to squish it in there.

Unless the X-ray guy is a 40k player then, be prepared to have your army judged, and maybe challenged to a game on the scanning machine.
In all serious I think as long as you declare them you shouldn't have a problem, especially of you are flying internally.

When I travel, I fly around the world, Sometimes take the minis in the luggage. Sometimes int he carry on.
Only issue I have had was with the X acto and blades. Forgot it was in the pencil box with the paint brushes.
Put that one in the check in luggage.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |
