Hello!

For some time now I have been manufacturing wargaming accessories.
My company has just launched a new project: Kohortis - army transportation and storage system. We run this project in a form of an Indiegogo fundraising campaign: http://igg.me/at/Kohortis/x/3165038

Features of the system:
- two types of containers:
Versatile and durable bags
cheaper, but equally practical cardboard boxes

Foams:
We offer more than 100 kinds of foams as well as pick and pluck foams (including foams specially made for Flames of War)
If you don't find the foam which suits your needs, we also offer to prepare custom-made foams.


Magnetic system:
Our range also includes a magnetic solution in which models are kept on metal platforms using magnets sticked into their bases.
It is especially practical for transportation of large, irregularly shaped models and units consisting of large numbers of figures which come in formations.


Versatility:
The foams and magnetic system can be used interchangeably or together within one container. Additionally, boxes and bags of the same type (sharing same name) have same inner measurements.
Campaign is supplemented by the website: http://kohortis.com.pl/ (available in English and Polish). It contains more information, full product catalogue and interesting articles.

Campaign perks:
Additional bonuses, value of which increases with the amount you pledge (including six unique gadgets prepared specially for the campaign), free shipment and an increase of the amount to spend on products from our catalogue (additional 10% compared to the amount you pledge).
The price of products in the campaign is much lower then their prospective retail price.


Sample:
The following set:
"Mars" box and:
- 3x 35 mm height foam + separator
- 1x 45 mm height foam + separator
- 1x 65 mm height pick and pluck foam + separator
is available for $31. This set allows you to transport 60 standard infantry models (for WH40k) in GG3506 foam and 16 wide based models (40mm base) in GG4506 foam as well as some vehicles or irregular models in the pick and pluck foam.


While designing Kohortis we took 12 as our base number (in the ancient Rome it was considered a lucky number), and all elements of the system are connected with it:
Our foams are either square (24 cm x 24 cm) or (if we reach the desired campaign stage) rectangular (48 cm x 24 cm).
All inner measurements of the containers are also multiplications of 12.
Thanks to that our solution is versatile in many ways.
In addition, our bags and boxes are based on the cube, which allows the foam inserts to be put inside in any way - horizontal or vertical.
The magnetic system is also based on multiplications of 12 - the platform measurements are same as in case of foams: 24 cm x 24 cm, and the pillars come in two heights: 12 cm or 24 cm.

All you need to support our campaign is a PayPal account. If you like our project, but don't want to pledge any money, spread the word - tell your friends about it, share it on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/kohortisbynula), on message boards and blogs. We are also very grateful for any feedback and comments, which we always try to implement in our project.

Those bags look nice. When one can hope for getting them when contributing? Will bags from different stages be available form the beginning or will there be a wait period for some of them?

That list of products seems to cover almost everything a wargamer would need.
The magnet option, as well as foam, is a good idea as most places just offer one or the other.

I'll not join in, as I've heavily invested in another system, but good luck.

I just backed it, this is very promising. I really like the system you guys have designed

Also backed them up - they're local to me so I hope I won't have to wait too long for the bags

I think people should really look into this. I hope it gets funded, I'd love to show up to Adepticon with this case and pull out the magnetic section and a multi-tiered diorama ready to roll

Looks good and the prices are very attractive but no information on shipping costs has me hesitant to back it. Did I just miss it when I was looking at the Indiegogo page because the shipping information page on the main website is blank.

This information is available in polish only as I can see it - probably they forgot to translate it.
As I'm bored in work - quick translation just for you
