Garth1 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Hopefully I’ll be ok posting this here.... I’ve just started to near completion of a painted Maggotkin army with GUO’s and Drones and really want to start playing and learning the game now so need to work out how to transport the army. If anyone can suggest some good ways to do so, I’ve not heard good things about the Citadel cases and so far these are the only way I know of, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XReN Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I can't put links to any manufacturers of army transports since I use a sport bag and self made foam trays and magnet boxes, but here are your options: First, some people I heard are liking Citadel cases, so it can be an option Second, manufactured army transport case with foam trays cut to your specific needs Third, magnetised bases and either an army transport with metal shelves, seen those, beautifully done and much more convenient then foam, or plastic boxes with magnet sheet glued to the bottom. The idea is that your models stick to metal / magnet sheet and that is how you transport minies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadmund Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I magnetized my army with small, neodymium magnets and bought some self adhesive rubber steel sheets (magnets attach, but it isn't magnetic itself). Then I got a few Really Useful brand boxes from my local hobbycraft and put the self adhesive sheet on the bottom of each box and on the underside of the lid. It's easy, and miles cheaper than foam cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingmma Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Fishing takle boxes work too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laststand Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 A super cheap option but I use the boxes from teabags. An 80 bag box usually holds a whole unit. I put in some layers of small bubblewrap and close the lid. These all neatly slot into a larger cardboard box. I should prob invest in a case of some kind but at the moment this does the job nicely. Prob helped by the fact i drive as I wouldnt be confident with this on any form of public transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth1 Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Thanks everyone, I’ll take a look at magnets and Really Useful Boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitGas Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I've got some foam trays, although they aren't really fitting my units so it kinda sucks for my AoS army. (They do fit my Rubric Marines though). Really thinking about getting some magnetic solution in the future... The 2 big problem I have with that is the LoC and my cute Mutalith. While the latter might somehow fit, the LoC is so big I don't how he'd into any premade solution nicely - maybe one of those old-style metal tool boxes would be a good solution for me... 🤔 edit: I think I found something that in theory should be able to transport everything, including my sweet chickenboy! https://www.amazon.de/Bosch-Zubehör-2605438624-Metallkoffer-420/dp/B0014GN5VK/ref=sr_1_29?keywords=werkzeugkoffer+metall&qid=1561200961&s=gateway&sr=8-29 Edited June 22, 2019 by MitGas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleston Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Well, I have Foam Trays from Feldherr. They are nice but actually really get troublesome when you have bigger models like monsters, tanks etc. Then there is the Ikea Samla Series, which is my current storage and transport system. The boxes are cheap, can be easily stored together, have enough room for most miniatures and are light so transport is no issue. I usualy travel by public transports to out local gw and it is no issue to travel with 2 of these, althrough transport by car is easier with them. Also they can be easily improved with magnetic tape (which is actually just a tape magnets can stick to) so models won´t move around in the box but instead are fixed. Oh, there are also some little clips you can use to keep the lids closed. Either way: Great system. https://www.ikea.com/de/de/cat/samla-serie-12553/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
