Transporting a BB team

Joemanji · Post by **Joemanji** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 12:43 pm

I usually transport my BB teams in a full size GW carry case. I just leave four or five teams in there, and take them all with me when I go somewhere for a game. But I am going to Pearlies next weekend, and my big carry case is going to be an unnecessary burden on the train.

How do other people transport a single BB team? Are there any smaller size carry cases available out there?

Cheers

There are some satchel sized carry cases out there that take 25-50 figures. Have you checked out the Charon and Figures in Comfort lines?

I was looking around the forums for this the other day. I don't own enough minis to warrent a full size GW case, so I decied to make my own. I just bought a small tool box from Hyper Value, (one that hasn't any compartments). Then bought sheets of foam from a material store, and cut out spaces for each mini. It holds 48 minis and cost me around Â£7.50

go to this thread for good info,

I had nothing to do, so I made my own from the cardboardbox you get your delivery in from GW. It works pretty well.

Plastic lunchbox, eggbox-style foam. Both available from my local hardware place...you might be able to find similar.

Otherwise I usually have four teams and my copy of the game in a laptop case.

Cheers all. I have just paid for a pistol case on eBay. It looks to be the ideal size for a 12-16 man squad. Lovely jubbly!

I don't have a day off until I travel to Pearlies on Friday, otherwise I would have looked into this. An 80s style transformers lunchbox with BB models inside.

Mmm... how cool would that be?

I like this case. Carry a full team with staff, dice etc. I can strap it down on the passenger seat of my motorcycle no problem with the small size.

Chessex makes a carriny case which holds 14 guys. Not a full 16 but if you've got a smaller roster it should be sufficient.

Some guys have a big metal case to transport their team and their pitch at the same time. It's more convenient.

For me it is the army transport case

Pouch for rulebook, two smaller for dice, snacks, rules, etc.

TTFN,

The Gamer's Satchel at $20 off was looks quite tempting:
