I can say from expierence, a large case with no dividers works, but expect damage to your vehicles as they shift in transport.
I think the point here is a transport that prevents any damage to said vehicles while in transit.

During 3rd ed days, I used to run mechanized marines that included 2x rhinos, 2x razorbacks, 2-3 land speeders, and any combination of 3x vindicators and 2x whirlies, all custom conversions and/or scratchbuilds with lots of fiddly greeblies I was keen to not break when travelling about Northern Virginia's traffic snarled and road rage infested highways.

To tote all this around I used what I called the "ghetto case", and is it ever ghetto. It was basically an 18" wide x 18' long x 12" high box with a sheet at the bottom, which the vehicles were laid out on. I then covered them with enough foam packing peanuts and then, using a couple plastic bags* also filled with foam packing peanuts, filling the remaining space snuggly (but not to tight) and then taped or tied the box shut. This set up survived several falls and countless trips to various LFGS without ever damaging any of the contents. Ghetto, but it worked and worked well. Rest of the miniatures were carried around in figure cases.


*The plastic bags were so I could quickly remove the packing material without getting it all over the store/home every time I needed access to the models. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/128908.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/128908.page GMT RE: Best carrying case for Armored Co.? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/128929.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/128929.page GMT RE: Best carrying case for Armored Co.? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/128995.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/128995.page GMT RE: Best carrying case for Armored Co.? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/129311.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/129311.page GMT RE: Best carrying case for Armored Co.?
"What were your purchases today?"

Walmart pistol cases here too, though I have to cross the border to get them...

"What were your purchases today?"

"4 Pistol cases"

"....um, please go to secondary"

"damnit"
Repeat after me. They are not "pistol cases."  They are foam filled "utility transport boxes" for camera equipment and other delicate items (you can get similar cases at the Container Store as a utility case but at a higher price).

I don't have that many tanks but I do have a tank heavy army, I just ordered up the army transport motor pool case, seems to be designed for big models and comes with their bigger trays. I already have plenty of infantry sized trays from my regular case that I can easily just reuse.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/131016.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/131016.page GMT RE: Best carrying case for Armored Co.?
but generally, it would be a good investment for a tank army.. You can order just the case itself and the trays seperate too (for that matter, you can order any of their cases seperately if you want to create your own..)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/131672.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/128609/131672.page GMT
