I need a carrying case that can fit 2-3 Bloodthirsters (Skarbrand too) and a Khorne army? Any suggestions/links would be helpful. ~150-200 bucks is probably what im willing to spend. I use a nice bag for my DnD books/minis/dice but that in no way would fit 2000 points of spikey bits and Khorne and Thirsters. Any help or idea of how to easily port my army around would be great!
I like the Feldherr cases with pluck foam trays. Check Amazon. I have a couple with different sized trays (including larger ones to fit tanks and monsters) and they are well within your budget, a nice size, and protect the models well.
Side note: for older smaller-scale figures with 25mm bases I still use the same grey Chessex boxes with two trays that I used in the 90’s.
Get some plastic cheap container. Attach metal sheet to bottom(and even lid if there's sufficient height for 2 layers of models). Glue magnets to bottom of models.

Done.
Very much this. The craziness of the modern sculpts are really pushing magnetic storage to the forefront of viability. There are plenty of YouTube tutorials too for any specifics if needed.

I use Magna Racks. It is modular and incredibly easy to use. While on the more expensive side, it does allow you to change the configuration down the road, thus making the purchase vastly more efficient. You get what you pay for ultimately. With what you've stated you want, the 720 series would be more than sufficient. You'd have a tray for the big boys and then a tray for the standard infantry sized models as well.

Flip the tray cork side down and they work the same.
And it fits into a Luxa sewing machine bag.

For general cases I go for KR multicase. It is a highly modular system which is strong if you own a lot of armies (as I do). I have several cloth carry bags of different sizes and can swap in the thick card carrying cases as needed (and swap layers between those cases as desired). The main drawback is actually understanding the system can be pretty difficult in terms of what layers to buy.
However, specifically for Age of Sigmar I have to strongly agree with making your own magnetised case. I tried keeping my idoneth in a foam case and they got wrecked - anything with fragile joints and sticky out bits just isn't suitable for any brand of foam case. I bought an aluminimum carry case (available on amazon or a DIY store) and some steel sheets (ebay is excellent, also DIY stores) and made my own for around £20
I got cheap lol, this total was about $30 with the magnet dry erase board, magnets, etc..
1) Dry erase magnetic board from local shop
2) The size i needed storage bin (i have different sized for different armies)
3) Foamboard and hot glue
4) Magnets
Some pics are my CoS army, another pic is for my DE infantry models, different pics for different storage bins.
