How many of you guys use this?

Did anyone find that it's putting stress on the joints of large, irregular sized models? (ie. Galrauch, Archaeon, etc...)

Sorry, use what?

Dan

Rifle Cases (Gun Cases)

Uh . why? I just use a tackle box. Works for me.

I presume you mean to carry armies, in which case I would opt for a tackle box or a GW carry case-style thing (though preferablt less of a rip-off).

Dan

Wouldnt a rifle case sorta.....startle people?

If you take a look at: http://www.americase.com/pages/order/4002.shtml , they don't look too over-the-top. In fact, in Britain, I wouldn't even recognise them as rifle cases...

Dan

Yes, seems alright, not really noticable that it would hold a rifle.

Reason I want to use it is because it is cheap, and has foam and stuff too.. If I use a tackle box, doesn't have foam, etc. have to modify it.

So is there an issue with it damaging some models or not?

Dan

... that's what I wanted to know!

Oh, right! :P I thought you were looking for ways to stop it happening in a case you already owned. :D

Dan

Nope there isnt any probs they work swell, just cut the foam to shape like you would any other case and your in buisness.

i use two pistols cases (they're smaller than the rifle cases) they cost $7 each and i can carry about 100 Guardsmen in one, or 8 Tanks, my dice & my tape measure. They come with 2 layers of foam, so for tanks i take one out,a nd for guardsmen i just have 2 layers...work wonderfully, rarely do i have anything break

Holy! You can fit that many dudes into a pistol case?.. and the large models like your tanks also work?

Sounds good.. I think I will go with this idea.

What did you find best to use to cut the foam?

only one problem with gun cases. They get stolen. if someone sees a guncase in the back of your car, they'll think theres a gun in it. Guns cost alot of money.

Ha. thats why I use a computer parts kit / tacklebox. I get all of
that, plus customizeable foam peices. =)

That's not a serious problem.. I can put it in the trunk.

I'm more worried about all the pointy bits of Chaos (long spikes, arms sticking out, etc) getting broken off. If that isn't a problem, then there's no problem :)
