Hi there
I am a new member. My son is a big fan of Warhammer , so I have just registered here to be updated for him He is answering all the verification questions lol.
Btw, soon he has bday, so I wanted to buy him a case for his miniatures. Since I am not really good at "forum things" and I cannot see a topic where I could still ask questions, so hopefully the admins won't mad at me lol
I thought about Feldher's shop but I also came across this one http://shop.army-case.com/
I am from the US, so that would convince me. Do you have any experience? Please help me out!
Hiya Welcome to the forums
There is a lot of information about transporting mini's, so I'll give you the short version.
So generally you have either magnet based bag or a foam based bag, the differences are generally minor, so its not a huge deal either way.
Magnets:
Great option, quick to pull minis out and put them away, but has poor horizontal grip, which can result in mini's bumping, so you want a cutout tray to prevent them from sliding. If you are doing short trips in a car, it should be fine without the cut out. You can just make these out of mdf with the case you've selected.
The other down side, is you have to buy magnets for every model.
I have not used this company, but they have a good example of the cut out tray to pop the bases into to stop them from sliding around
https://www.crystal-fortress.com/Foam:
This can get really expensive really quickly, but they all suffer from similar issues.
Takes longer to get your mini's out and put them back in.
Models can get caught in the foam (usually things like spikes etc) and break, if you're looking at Age of Sigmar ghost models, I would avoid foam.
Overall they still offer a good level of protection, but just a little more difficult to live. There is ether cut foam or pick and pluck foam, the cut form is more expensive but is the better overall option. Pick and pluck is best used for storing models when they are not on display.
Personally, I built my own travel bag using a magenet system and I'm not looking back for most of the range. I still use a form section for larger models as these generally don't have thin bits and are difficult to magnetize on bases.
Warhammer is not just for young people, lots of us grey haired folk playing and building, jump on in and have some game as well
