What case to buy...

[StrategicCommand]

Ok so I have an IG army now consisting of 90 troopers, 12 heavy Weapon Teams, 4 Valks, 3 leman russes, 2 chimeras, 2 basilisks, 1 hellhound,  6 ogryns. Anyone know what kind of case I should get to transport these bad boys?

Sabol army transport bags, GW suit case, Battlefoam etc...

Any help will be awesome.

Battlefoam offers the most models/sq inch.

I heard a rumor that BG is about to start carrying battlefoam.

Personally, I have a few GW hard cases which are really nice for basic troopers but terrible for anything more.

[Achillius]

Personally I tend to use my GW cases for my troops, and then whatever for vehicles. This works great going to and from the store in the car. So if that's the extent of it, stop right there.

Otherwise.

If I was taking my IG Army else where I'd be seriously considering battlefoam.

I've tried Sabol and it's ok. Certainly more flexible than the GW hard cases.

From what I've seen of BF it's not cheap, but works well.

Tough choice, but if you have the coin BF is the way I would go.

Most of my stuff is in Sabol Transports

We are likely to put in our first order with Battlefoam this week.  If you have any requests for stuff shoot me an email and I'll see what I can do.

If you want to go on the cheap. Walmart sells pistol case's for $10 - $20 (if you can find them). Its the egg crate foam. Cutting the foam up is great for vehicle's I fit 10 chimera's in one. There not bad for infantry, not as good as the name brands but it will hold them.

I use all 3 case's. I use GW's for infantry, walmart special for tanks and unpainted or rarely used model's, and sabol/battlefoam for travelling.

I'm a fan of the Sabol cases, myself.  As most of you know, I travel a lot, and like Jeff, I use them when traveling, since they make them very convenient for it.  Many of them in fact come with foam trays inside them, and most stores will also allow you to mix and match the trays to the sizes you need.  (Chase and Derek are usually pretty cool with this as well).

Hope that helps!

Question:  What's the difference between "Battlefoam" and the foam trays that BG is currently carrying?  I wasn't aware if there was a difference.

Different companies.  Sabol and Battlefoam.  From what I've heard, Battlefoam is more expensive/the same price.  However, Battlefoam has a specialty service where they make custom cut foam for models.  Expensive, but worth it for your top class paint job that you spent a year on.

if you want cheap protection, buy a really big model (valk, land raider, etc) and then just buy a bunch of charmin ultra 3x ply and wrap moodels up in it or put it in layers at the bottom. it almost never fails and youve paid 2-4 bucks (since i assume you didnt buy a $63 model just for the box). only problem then is beagles, which will destroy any means of defense you have

Yeah, Battlefoam has a solid range of pre-cut foam designed to fit most "normal" armies.  They are typically more expensive than the pluck foam we sell currently but they also offer a better fit.

Their cases seem really nice and the company seems to be growing in popularity very quickly.

Here's a look at some of their foam:  http://battlefoam.com/catalog.php?category=58

[skavengear]

you think forgeworld would give complementary foam  for their products, being that they cost so much
