Anybody know any alternatives that are stronger, around the same size?

KR fanboy to the rescue:
-Just the cardboard, to fill with foam:
https://www.krmulticase.com/product/cases/KRQ
Quarter size card case -- (KRQ) : 270 x 205 x 70mm
-Softer case:
https://www.krmulticase.com/product/cases/AQ5-B
Aquilla5 (AQ5) : 280 x 210 x 80mm

Choose the option of Small Skirmish Games option, then pick the foam trays you want:
https://www.krmulticase.com/bespoke
"Your case will carry 0.25 KRU worth of trays" (half-height and half-width)

For foam, look at a pair of N4H or other ?4H trays. The ? part is the layout of the slots, the 4 is how many trays stack in a 1KRU full-sized case, and the H is half-width.
A single deep tray is a ?2H (it stacks 2 high and half-width in a full-sized 1KRU case)

Thanks

Tupperware boxes.

Tabletop Tyrant do some very nice soft cases with a nifty fill program that let's you see how much you put in before buying!

Battlefoam also has some smaller cases made of EVA foam for pre-order, with a launch in September. One of them is even the same price as the official GW KT case.

Why not one of these small hardcases



Chessex and feldherr makes em

would be great to chuck into a back pack with books and dice.

I've always just bought a generic tool box, and AC foam. A bit of hot-glue later and I have a custom built container that holds an entire army in a much smaller space then any "official" army container I've seen.
The only downside is that I have to "puzzle piece" my models in the case, but it is more space efficient that way.

I was going to suggest Tabletop Tyrant. Their foam isn't amazing, but their prices are good - available easy on eBay.

What's wrong with the Kill Team carry case? Is there a general consensus that it's a bit rubbish or something?

I'd second plastic food containers, particularly if you're on a budget, pack it out with tissue or your own foam. As nice as Battlefoam, KR cases and the like are, they're not cheap.

It isn’t hard plastic. The Killteam Carry case is only canvas with hard plastic corner support. I want something that has a chance of protecting my models in case I lean against it in my bag. Otherwise, I love the look of the Killteam case.

Thanks for the response. I think it's really nice looking too and was considering asking for it as a gift, but if it's not that useful, It's not worth it.

I can always get a hard case box and just find a suitable logo to put on it.

I have in the past used a NATO ammo box and had magnets on the bases of my models and toilet tissue. They're a little heavy for larger armies, but they're cheap from army and navy surplus stores.
