I use tool cases (look like normal, metal cases) and have the interior of the EM4 battle hive..

you can buy the trays seperately and you can get 2 of the trays next to eachother in the case I use.

BEst bit is that the trays can be modified as you like, they are about the half in size compared to the GW ones, but only 4 less figs can be put in them ..

sorry for my english .. it's pretty early, damn flu

I have two Charon Gamers' satchel cases, in a laptop case.

Means I can carry four teams, plus my game, easily.

I second the gamer's satchels, they're ideal. Although they sometimes feel risky carrying around on the tube late at night as they look like laptop bags

honest guv it's just little toy soldiers, not a laptop ;)

Does Charon Productions not directly sell the gamer's satchel? I can't find any purchasing information on their site. If they don't, any recommendations for sites that do?

I got mine from Chelgames.
The actual satchels are not very sturdy or hardwearing - mine is looking very threadbare. Thats why I'm now just using the inert cases, inside a large laptop case.

On the order form the gamers satchel insert is called

Satchel Insert Case CHN-5002

I can put 2 in a typical, nylon courier bag with rules, board etc.

I have 10 of these and I love them.

I use small case which came with an small air tool. I searched and found this site sellin what looks like and identical case.....JPMN2 258x178. Just right for taking one team to a tourney abroad. You just have to but some foam to make up the inside.

For larger amounts of figures I use the one from GWindi, which is basically a tool case with fitting foam inserts.
You can see it here:
http://www.gwindi.net/tabletop/default.php?cPath=746
It is extremely sturdy and lightweight, and in public transportation you can sit on it :-?

For smaller amounts, like a single team I reccommend the ones from chessex

Cheap alternative: Buy some of that "eggbox" foam - the sort the Old GW cases had - and some plastic lunch boxes or similar.

I use them to store the rest of my teams.
