What is the best way to do it?
For reference they are completely glued/assembled except for the base which is detachable.

In total I have roughly:

60 Guardsmen/Vets
5 Chimeras
1 Manticore
3 Valkyries/Vendetta
2 Leman Russ Executioners w/sponsons

What should I do in the way of cases? I am fairly open to different setups...

Wrong forum, I think...


Regardless, I'd say melta or flamer veterans in valkyries is usually the mos tcommon way to go about it.

I'm having the same problem. I guess there is a way to make them so that the wings are removable but I glued the wings on my two so I'm kinda effed as well. As it is I dont think it fits into any GW case or army transport ones. I'd recommend just building your own case which is what I've done for the majority of my minis anyway.

I mean transporting as in model carrying cases. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

Got any pics by chance RocketRoll?

not really, I just bought some foam (regular or egg crate works) and put it in a rubber tote bin and you're on your way.

I use KR cases.

They're cardboard with foam trays you can have in a variety of depths and you pick out the foam in the shape you want it.

We have 7 in our flat at the moment and they hold Landraiders, dreads, devilfish/hammerheads and a boat load of troops/battlesuits

I have a Battlefoam 1520 with 3 Valkerie Trays. So long as the bases are removable you are good to go.

I think I will combine a little of both worlds.
Going to grab a rubbermaid clear tote and some of those battle foam trays. I carry a lot of books and extras which could go at the bottom of the tote and the models would sit on top of them.

Thanks for the help gents.
