Transporting a BB team

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 £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.

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