Default Let 's see some pics of team carrying cases

What do you guys put your team and accessories in when you go to play your games ? I am trying to find something that does not damage the bases or players paint jobs.

as for paint jobs, it's best to seal your players with something...I use polyurethane or clear gloss spray........

as for carrying cases, I have several way to transport my teams and some of them would make you cringe and want to ask my WHY......

Pictures to come later but I have small storage cases that could hold 11 or more players or support stuff. and stackable

I also can just toos them in a fishing tackle box........

Default Whoa Nelly

PLASTIC CASES........I Use The Warhammer Cases To Carry My Teams To Battle..they Have Foam Inserts With Slots That Allow Men To Be Transported Without Damage To Bases Nor The Figures (paint Jobs) ....spend Too Much Time Tweaking Bases And Painting Figures....... There Are Other Ways To Transport Men......you Can Also Have Scotty Beam Them To Their Destination ....but Seriously I Use The Warhammer Cases......

TRY EBAY ...THEY ARE CALLED GAMES WORKSHOP CASES

I always forget about the games workshop cases even though I buy most all of my paints at the local hobby shop , and they carry the cases.

Default Could have fooled me

Jeff, I like that case you carry your guys in. I did'nt know it was not sufficient for bases and all. I made this one and I made my own individual foam holders for my guys like they used to sell when I was a kid. I know you saw this Jeff,but I'll post it anyway for the rest.

I found slabs of packing foam at the hospital loading dock where I work, these, after an idea by Jerry McGhee, I transformed into upright carriers which protect the base-prongs. An exacto, ruler, and sharpie are all you need.

I transport the teams in toolboxes which also house my kickers, qbs, tools etc

I have Mega blocks laying all over the house. I have 3 boys ! I never thought of using them, I also never turned a block over to look at it as a tray for electric football men. I am too busy trying not to step on them
