I am looking for trays for 40k figures, with slots larger than in the red GW trays. While most figures can go in those slots, they often don't fit as well as I'd like - protruding weapons, bulky infantry (like terminators), jump packs, primaris, orks, etc. I'd rather not use per-perforated foam where one removes pegs of foam to make custom spaces - rather, I'm looking for something ready to use, like GW trays, just with bigger spaces. I ultimately need storage for hundreds of figures (probably at least 4-500), so cost is a consideration.

Thanks!

(If this should be in a different subforum, I apologize, and would welcome directions as to where it belongs)

Does GW still make red foam storage trays/cases?

There are 2 schools of thought these days, each with branches. Foam, or magnets.

For foam, I like KR Multicase, but there are a good number of companies that make bespoke trays to fit all sorts of models.

The other main option that sees a lot of use is magnets. Glue a magnet to the bottom of your base, and stick them on a metal or magnetic sheet. Those can be slid into a carrying case, or glued to the bottom of a plastic box.

Magnets are a pain in the ass, but I use them at home, not just when transporting.

I keep my collection in a transparent drawer for papers, so I can put a magnetized sheet and some magnets on the minis. There they are protected from dust, but also visible for me.
I also have a foam case for when I'm moving them OUTSIDE the house.
