GW figure case / 3rd party cases depending on the army
China cabinet for the stuff i keep at home
Randomly sprawled on my painting table, just because!

i hardly "store" my models, but when i do its the cardboard boxes you get deliveries in. normally i just leave my army on my big table. for storage if im going round a friends house, then i use either shoe boxes or a third party case (i am using a duratool case which i just stick foam in)

Tackle boxes ftw.
effective storage and transport for just about everything.

Uh... When I'm transporting them to my local store and back I use my GW army case-cheap piece of crap¬¬- and a run of the mill GW regiment sized cardboard box for my tanks. Err...At home my other models end up being tossed into drawers haphazardly till they all fit etc. Meh, the paint doesn't chip much and there's few breakages to care about, so I don't really put much effort into it. There just models.¬¬

On my allocated 'warhammer desk'. However some do spend time in my army case, which is made by GW.

I use a fairly large Army Transport case.

A shoe box.

But my favourite models stand in front of my tv.
Keeps my models safe.

Ironic they are safer out of the box.

In short plastic models in a box,metal on the tv.

I can't stand to put my miniatures anywhere but plain sight on a table.

I have many case types as well. More than half of my Tyranids are in a double rifle case.

Pretty much a combination of all the answers, but when I transport my models I use Games Workshop cases for my GW stuff, and KR multicase for other wargames.

Mine are mainly stored on shelves but they also have army containers, both GW and 3rd party as well as multi sectioned plastic containers

Mostly on a bookcase shelf/my desk. That gets them unfortunately dusty though, so I'm looking in to getting a display case if I can ever get to Ikea (the nearest one to me is 2+ hours away).

Of course that entails finding a place to put a display case too.

Used to be my book case but I got a big fancy glass display case from a local cafe that went bust, thank you global economic crisis! I also have a nice cover over for the top to hide what is inside when girls come over...haven't used that yet though...

When I take my war barbies away to battle they go in a couple of battered pelican cases because I think that looks more hardcore and because I got em cheap!

I took a large 16x20 shadow box with hinged door lid and replaced the back with a magnetic board and as for my mini's I've cut out and placed magnetic adhesive strips to the bottom of the bases. I can tilt it nearly 90 deg. before some of my heavier pewter mini's slide or fall.

I voted other.
I keep my main army in a large tool case i bought(read got mum to by for me) some years ago.
my other stuff is stored in a mixture of tubs containers and yes margarine tubs. they are very usful for terrain to....
all this is-or atleast in theory should be stored in a large blue plastic box(couldnt get a black one-DAMN).
in reality however its all over my(rather messy) room. finding things is a nightmare-just the other day i uncoverd "Tankbuster Tim" a private in my guard force with a melta and spesse mariine legs(i hate marines) and the head from a spesse mariine flamer. thought he was long gone up the hoover or nicked by one of those theiving basterds that used to haunt my local GW before they were driven out. i hate those bastards-1 of them once nicked 1.5Ks worth of old rare metal eldar aspect warriors from me. and there was nothing i could do. i hate that basterd. 1 day ill hunt him down and kill him. i still see him in my local GW. my hatred of him goes beyond what words can describe. sticking his fat nose into games. picking fault with my models. that basterd

In many places, they don't all seem to fit on my shelving/in my army cases (yes, cases).

A combination of cardboard boxes for the forces I regularly take to the field, and "reserve" forces in an old toolbox.

I use GW cases and the odd shelf...

Foamy hard cases are exelent for protection, but you can't show them off as well as on a shelve. The solution? Transparent plastic case.

I keep my models in a tissue paper packed Monolith box, which is in turn in a bag for life. Yeah, I'm pretty cheap when it comes to transporting models I can always repair models when I get there...

$20 pistol cases from Academy.

Mine sit on a shelf and get covered in dust. It's annoying but I have limited space to put them anywhere else.
Glass display cabinet is what I would really like but not till I win the lotto.

I put them in a display cabinet When not using them, but I have a GW figure case for when I play games.

In my old-school GW case

Virtually all of those options apply to me.

Mine are in a big briefcase with plastic bags as padding.

I store most in GW cases or Sabol cases. I store all my painted space wolf stuff in two ogre battleboxes loose because I hates them.

On the gaming table, when there painted. So I can see how many I've finished. Helps keep my spirits up.

In a fishing case ( 10$ to store 300 miniatures...)

I just keep them in some LRBT boxes. Simple and easy ^_^
