I have plenty of storage for my Space Marines and Genestealers, but I don't have anything for 4 larger models. Those 4 are a Librarian Dreadnought, a Maleceptor, a Foetid Bloat Drone, and a Helbrut.

I don't foresee needing to store any more models of that size anytime soon. I've looked on Amazon and on ebay, but mostly I'm just finding cases for smaller figures.

Is there a good case out there that would be just about right for those 4 models to all go into securely?

I keep quite a bit of large models in my BattleFoam 432. I filled it with 3" pluck foam. I was able to get 2 rhinos, 2 predator, land raider, 2 hellbrutes in two layers. I believe you can get 3 layers of the 3" pluck in that case.

KR multicase soft foam good for tight fit robust models with lots of custom variations, battlefoam hard foam good for spikey models like dark eldar. Sabol army transport are good pluck out foam for odd models. GW zigzag case are good for odd large infantry models.

Go to a hardware store and check out the tool cases and bits boxes. There is usually something there to suit and kind of model.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

+1 to this. I scored some large power tool cases that my Lowe's was going to toss, as they were from old tool displays. One was a large Bosch plastic case (I think was for a large hammer drill) that with just a bit of trimming inside and some thin foam turned out to be an excellent case.

Gun cases work great too, and they're relatively cheap. The double stacked pistol cases from Plano could fit those 4 and then some, with a little bit of cutting on the foam. They're only about $20.

Thanks everyone. I'll check Lowes and Home Depot and see what I can find to put some foam into.
