So, I just started assembling my Nighthaunt models, and I have noticed that they have to be some of, if not the most fragile models that GW has released to date. They are so fragile, that I even think that GW's own cases may end up breaking them. That said, how do you transport your Nighthaunt models?

Thanks in advance

I would consider battlefoam magna racks. or make something similar yourself if you do not want to spend that much. There are plenty of tutorials for that to be found on youtube.

they also have some night haunt specific foams

But my experience tells me that the new GW models are best transported magnetized as they have so many little bits just glued on. I have one seriously damaged army using gw cases. I now swear by magnetized transport. (unless you are looking for hard transport, like taking it on a plane etc)

unless you're referring to Olynder, none of the models are really an issue, they'll all be fine in one of GW's cases. For bigger models like Olynder and the coach I'd just get a cardboard box that I could pad out and sit them safely in.

Magna racks. Magnetizing in general and leaving plenty of room. GW cases are garbage for the new models because the foam constantly will snap the fiddly bits.

I switched to TableWar cases and magnets for everything. Great investment and glad I did, not just for Nighthaunt but really everything.

Olynder is the only one that's really problematic and needs a custom tray. For the rest, I recommend egg crate foam so you don't have to deal with pointy bits snagging on foam walls.

This is what I did. The TableWar cases are real nice, but a bit pricey. Worth the investment if you can grab one on a sale.

Buy some rare earth magnets and superglue them under the base. I've done this to ALL my GW pieces.

I'm going to echo what everyone else has said about magnetizing and using something like Tablewar or Mangaracks.

I used to just buy custom foam from battlefoam, but more and more the miniatures would have small pieces break off from the foam. I never have that happen with the magnetized bases.


The magnets are also very cheap. You can get like 170 on amazon for ten bucks.
