What KR Multicase to get?

Post by reroll »

There's quite a range - just stick KR Multicase BloodBowl into Amazon to see what I mean! The KR's own website isn't great if you don't know what size these things are / want to see it in the flesh / want the benefit of experience of fellow BBers!

So what I want is a case to carry 2 teams - humans and wood elves, with some flexibility for getting other teams in the future (in which case I would swop out one of the human or wood elf teams and leave them at home). Being able to put the BB board in would be nice, but not essential as I generally carry it in a drawstring bag with my folder containing the printed out rules, roster sheets etc. Some space for dice would be nice too, as would space for the odd extra figure, eg turn markers etc.
I'll need room for an ogre and probably a treeman too.
I don't want it to be bigger than it needs to be - I use a GW hard case now (the one with 3 trays holding 118 infantry models). This case is too big, hence the need for something smaller.
I think I want a KR, but the different bag styles and tray connotations are a little bewildering so can someone please recommend something? I'd look at other manufacturers too if people strongly recommend anything.

Many thanks for any help.

Aquilla 3 or 4. Not currently on the website, but send them an email.

The 4 will fit a couple of pitches, dugouts, rulebook and at least 4 teams with no issues. I use mine to take stuff for tournaments.

I have several of the small ones (aquila 2??) and use them to stor emy teams .. this means I only need to pick up one of these cases, dice and a roster to go to league nights or tournaments .. need someone else to bring a pitch then, obviously

Have both Aquila 3 With 'Blood Bowl N' inserts and Aquila 4 with 'Blood Bowl F' inserts myself. Both hold a standard pitch/rules nicely plus I find the following:

The Aquila 3 - single layer holds 2 teams and has space for a few big guys, however the larger big guys wouldn't fit comfortably enough for my liking which is why I have the

Aquila 4 - Double layer on one side to hold 2 teams and an extra deep layer on the other side to hold big guys. You'd easily fit a human & wood elf teams in here, but it doesn't look quite as nice as the standard trays!

PM me an email address and I'd happily send you a couple of pics of my teams in their cases.

And yes, the KR website is absolutely horrid. Got mine from amazon as it made much more sense!

Figure out roughly what you want... then contact them directly. I couldn't really figure out their website either, got in touch via the contact form on their site (or was it an email? can't remember now)... and the service they gave me was top-notch. Very highly recommended!

I've also got an Aquila 4, with 2 sets of 2 trays... (got a couple of various sizes, since I mostly carry around goblins, chaos, and elves). Big guys do fit at a push, though several of mine are 2nd edition so fit easier :-)

Got an aquila 4 myself as well. Two trays of 25 mini's and a deep 'pick-foam' in the other half. The thick foam bit holds several big guys, my dice cup and my deck of special play cards.

When going abroad to tournies I use a Feldherr case, but the small cases Dave uses work very well (although you cannot fit a big guy in there, (unless smaller 2nd edition ones) )

When you guys say these cases will hold a board are you talking the 3rd edition GW or FF Fields 6 piece board?

I'm not sure, I thought the only difference between the 3 and the 4 was the foam inserts, no? The three has a 32mm deep 50 model tray and the four has two 25mm deep half tray fitting 25 models each and a 50mm deep half tray for big guys.

So aquilla 4 config

and aquilla 3 config
