What do you lot use to keep your armies safe when traveling? Looked at the travel army cases and not sure if it'd really work well for me, army figure case could easily keep my infantry but what abotu tanks and supper heavies? looks like i'd need 3 or 4 cases from the pics lol. Well I usually get mine from Kaiser Rushforth: www.krmulticase.co.uk/mainuk.htmlThey do card cases, that can hold up to 200 infantry or 2 Baneblades at either extreme and have loads of options in the middle. Now they even have custom specific army trays - e.g the IG ones have 3 valyrie options, where the foam is ready cut to take a Valk. They also sell cases to put the card boxes in : mine carries 4 and one of their main range cases is getting updated with extra pockets (released 10th October). They aren't cheap, but the card cases are about £65 for three.

Last meet up my Orks travelled up in Celebration tins stuffed in my luggage and they came through ok.
Also you don't have to bring everything you own. Just bring 1000 points and you'll still get games, or bring what you think you can carry.
That said, Cheminhaler's cases were the envy of all who beheld them. Some fool at a bus station was apparently so green with envy that he was compelled to check the fellow. No your place foolish bus station dandies.

Was just thinking if we're going to have a apoc game would want as many units as possible. Problem is will want like 70 infantry maybe up to 100 with different upgrades and some to show off, then 2 LRBT and a demolish, 1 chimera and then my baneblade and stormlord. Noone here has seen my baneblade and I like how it's came out. and I was a little foolish and added coms and other extras that will easily snap off

An apoc game will either end up being a couple of players with big armies or a big coalition of players. If we have enough time/stuff/people then we'll probably have both of these types.
By all means if you can bring all the stuff you are talking about then do it but if it means that you end up not coming because you couldn't then it is a shame.
Even if you can't bring any models down you can probably borrow a spare army from another member as long as you sweet talk them a little. Last time most everyone had 2-3 armies with them.
I think Dave had 750 points of IG and 750 points of Orks and I think he had a pretty good time.

oh if i cant bring my army i wont bother. i want to try my gaming skills! but key part is to try and keep my army entact, we've all spent tons of time and money. Guess i will just try and save some boxes and try to get some sort of pip to protect comms... and guess just using some tissue and towels would be a good cusion for infantry. Oh also when i next go home (thinking end of october for a weekend) ill try to get a group shot of my army , its grown since my first post

Sounds win count me in though may have to bring the mrs and her nasty dark eldar aswell. and tempest sounds like a laugh, any chance i can use my inquistor please RT? Currently, we're at two Imperial Guard officers and two Inquisitors, so yeah, you can use Inquisitors, Tech-Priests, Rogue Traders, Cult leaders, Priests - whatever - as leaders. Send me details of the formation (fire team equipment and stuff) and the leader/formation fluff please Current formations: Imperial Guard Contingent3ff3ct - [Regiment Unrecorded, Officer unrecorded] Trickstick- 422nd Tvashtan, Lt Colonel Enoch Trabints Commanding. Makarova - Cherno Mashina, Lt Phillipa Commanding. Cheminhaler - Stadarzki 13th, [Officer Unrecorded] Inquisitorial ContingentDave - Cadian 7th Cavalry, Inqusitor Sera Kane Commanding. Gabriel Lupus - Zion Rifles, Inquisitor Gabriel Lupus Commanding. Angelus FireDrake - Zion Rifles - Inquisitor Angelus Firedrake commanding.

Now I'm wondering if I should just bring my entire Guard force (including Inquisitors)...
Not that it would all need to get used, or that I would even expect it to get used... but it might make for an impressive sight...

Well if I'm aiming for 7k (which includes 4 super heavies and apoc formations).. (God knows how I'll carry it), then they may as well be used. We should think up an interesting background for such a mega battle..

Six people! So we're going to have around 120 pro-Imperial forces in the mix...
...I'm going to need to build more mutants and cultists.
