Not sure were this should go..

How do you guys move your 54mm's around safely?

I always used GW carry cases and lately Battlefoam. A search for 54mm battlefoam doesnt give me anything useful.

Anyone found anything ideal?

If you're looking specifically for Battle foam, I'd look at their Iso trays (2.5" or 3" BF-BF-ISOML) or their pluck foam trays (2" BF-BF-PF)

However, as I personally think BattleFoam bags is overpriced, I'd just recommend looking for pluck-foam flight/rugged cases. This one, for example, is the "Medium Rugged case" from Maplin, after I'd worked the tray to my requirements:



They tend to go at £25 for the smaller size ("small flight case" or "rugged case (medium)", which confusingly, are the same size), and £35 for the larger cases ("Flight case with foam" or "rugged case (large) - these are more easily usable as double layer, however you want to handle that), but when offers roll around, it knocks about £10 off those prices.

I know at least a couple of others on the forum who use them - decent stuff.

I use KR Multicases - if you get their D format pick and pluck trays then you can fit either 15 model in a half width tray if each model has its own compartment, or 20 if you make 10 compartments and put 2 in each with a layer of foam between them. Their cardboard case holds 4 half width D trays of the required depth, which is great for storage, then I use a smaller bag for carrying just the models I want for gaming. I also have a couple more of their cardboard cases that I use to store my Blood Bowl and Malifaux models and since the trays are similar sizes I can just switch them around to carry whatever I need on a particular day.
I like to remember things my own way... Not necessarily the way they happened.

I'm using a gw tray modified inside the 40k 5th edition bolster case.   Normally I use figures in comfort case.

If battlefoam I'd recommend the PACK C4 with 1x2" pluck foam, it's a pretty cool combo of miniature storage and rulebook space in a laptop-sized bag. I've been planning to get one myself for a while.
Wayland Games also have a 30% sale on on all battlefoam stuff right now.
It's all fun and games until someone shoots their own guy with a Graviton gun instead of the MASSIVE SPIDER.

They do? Awesome, I need some new foam for this second-hand case I've got.

It has come to my attention that one of these offers is running at the moment.

The "Flight case with foam" is down to £25 (from £35) until the end of the year.
