Charles Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 My Dad owns some SCE Prosecutors but is having real issues (snap) transporting them in his Citadel Crusade case. Has anyone got any better recommendations or ingenious solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heksagon Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 My solution: https://imgur.com/a/Pv7ub It's not perfect, but works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siorra Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I managed to get my entire 2k Stormcast army in a Citadel Battle case, and it had 3 prosecutors and 3 winged Knight heroes. I just used the bottom foam section without the second "insert" purely for those models. The second layer then sits nicely on top and doesn't damage the wings. I put prosecutors base down in between the foam sections, and lay the bigger heroes wings-down. Works brilliants, actually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I've tried two magnet solutions that work: 1) Magnetise the wings 2) Got one of those steel plate standing cases and then magnets on the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCharisma Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I use the Citadel Crusade case and lay them flat in the foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get and metal biscuit/cake tin that is big enough to house them. Step 2. Stick Magnets on the underside of the Prosecutors bases. Step 3. Place in the tin and rejoice that the obnoxiously sized wings don't have bits snap off because they fell over when you move the box half an inch. In all seriousness though, this isn't a bad idea for any big models and or entire armies if you fear them being crushed in foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinncinnatus Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 As @Nubgan has said, magnets are great for transporting everything, Prosecutors especially. Made the switch myself recently and I'm never going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidings Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Here's some pics of my solution. I transport Sylvaneth and have yet to break a single twig, including the literal twigs glued to my treelord. Those would explode if they touched foam lol.

This is great, could you tell us where did you buy these boxes from ? They seem to have pretty good space. And I m guessing that the magnets you used all around the box are simple magnet trays or ?

I got one of them at Bed, Bath and Beyond, and the other three at a Target if I remember correctly. The magnets are simple rare earth magnets, picked up like 200 of them for $20 on ebay. Since the baking tray is metal the magnets stick to it well. The toolbox is one I ordered on Amazon, though any hardware store should have them. I just got this one because it was an inch taller, which is better for my Treelords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praecautus Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Glad I read this, I am looking for a solution for my larger/spikier models. Thanks for posting @Tidings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebiggesthat Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I've used something similar, but with the added bonus that the boxes stack well As above, magnets on the bases, I then use this stuff Magnetic sheet On the base of my containers, cut to fit, using these containers Really Useful Boxes They stack really well so storage at home is great, have nice, secure lids so transporting in a car is easy. A company has even started making MDF inserts for them, should you want to make even better use of the space Tray inserts Hope this is helpful!
