nite_moogle posted:Do you have the backpack that fits one box or two for the overhead? KR2 is the entire line. Asking for a friend who is trying plan an army around fitting in that backpack for Adepticon 2020. The KR Backpack 2 holds two KR Card Cases (The cardboard cases) and can fit in the overhead of every plane I have flown on. (though to be fair you have to make sure you don't pack the back pocket with multiple rule books :P ) This lovely old video I did reviews it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy2K5N2-mQs Ghost Hand fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Feb 1, 2019 |

Those Atalan Jackals look amazing and I want them to use as Counts As Aberrants for my GSC necromunda gang. Does anyone know where I can get them at a reasonable price in Australia?

I got a Deathwatch Killteam to start collecting stuff for this game and this statline for the frag cannon in the booklet that comes with it has to be for regular 40k right? Because that seems like abominable overkill for killteam.

The Frag Cannon is the same in 40k and Kill Team. Damage 1 really limits the flamer option, though that didn't stop my opponent when he rolled a 5 or 6 for every injury roll against my Gellerpox last weekend.Ghost Hand posted:The KR Backpack 2 holds two KR Card Cases (The cardboard cases) and can fit in the overhead of every plane I have flown on. (though to be fair you have to make sure you don't pack the back pocket with multiple rule books :P ) You can even fit a KR3 in the overhead, at least on all the American Airlines flights I've been on. Springing for priority boarding is an option if you're worried that the overheads will be full. I've not been asked to check it at the gate, though I've done it voluntarily a few times when I know space is going to be an issue. KR foam is plenty safe enough to check, and I've got to wait for my other bag at the end anyway.

Back in the early 2000s a guy at my FLGS (of blessed memory) had a beautiful mech guard army he carried in two long rifle cases. Probably not the cheapest option though? Schadenboner fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Feb 1, 2019 |

Never put your models in gun cases. Sooner or later you'll need to leave it in your car, and that's an open invitation to a smash and grab. ...Followed by finding your smashed army dumped 50 yards away, where the gun thief figured out he was tricked.

With metal dudes, I use KR Multicase. Amazing intersection of price and quality. For plastic dudes, I use sheet metal and magnets. Currently, I am using stacking plastic jewelry trays. If I needed to fly with minis, I would use KR boxes in my carry on.

I carried my rhino rush army for over a decade in rifle cases. I also spray painted them with gold stars to make them stand out from all the other rifle cases at tournies. Never had my car busted in for them but I never really left them over night out in the open. Had a cover blanket to hide all my firearms stuff anyways. I took an apple box from a grocery store to a foam place and for like $30 in thick foam I made a 4 land raider box that I still use to store them from like 15 years ago. The rifle case was great for land speeders and dreadnoughts too. There’s a lot of better options these days though.

The big KO Pelican cases they have at some tool stores (harbor freight, etc.) are good for really big models. For example, flyrants with glued wings. The biggest one is 6” deep. I wish I had known about KR before I bought into battlefoam years ago. Both products are good, just wish I hadn't supported an rear end in a top hat.

The sprues only come with 1 bolter part for the combis. It might look goofy but the other conversions to do it ive seen involve cutting the scope off and i dont want that, and also havent done any real kitbashing so id probably mess it up. Quick question: You can take the xenophase blade with a combi on your watch sergeant right? The force builder gw has only lets you pick the phase as the primary weapon.

Intellectual Property concerns over a patent he had on "cutting foam with a laser" or something like that. I don't even remember how it worked out, but the dude's previous company made baseball bats or something and he sued a competitor there too. He's just a litigious rear end in a top hat, and he got into a shouting match with someone's mom at NoVA too. In related news I just bought a bunch of KR foam, and man that is a great product with a terrible website.

a witch posted:What are people in this thread using to transport armies? I've seen recommendations for KR Cases, but does anyone have experience with anything else? I like Crystal Fortress (crystal-fortress.com). I used Table War cases for a while, but they are HUGE and heavy. Crystal Fortress carries a similar amount of stuff, but is much lighter. They are more fragile - Table War cases can take a beating. The other thing about the CF cases are that they make for good displays as well. The Table War cases don't do that as well, even when they have the glass window in front.

Listen to all these scrub tier case problems. Plastic bin from walmart with tin sheets glued to the bottom & lid. Magnetize your models, bam. Great for traveling to the local shop. Probably not good for an airplane, though.

That sucks about the Battlefoam guy, I have one of their cases from a while back and really like it. Do they still have an insanely permissive warranty? Also, I bought the Tyranids KT box, and unlike the Wyches it really does feel anemic with what's there - and worse, expanding it seems like a pain because it feels like if I want any Termagants or Hormagaunts I'd also want a Warrior...which they only sell in three packs. Whatever, I ordered a cheapo box of Terms anyways to round out the team for now, I just wanna paint some scary bug knife monsters.

Some people on reddit found some sketchy Russians sites and stuff but I don’t know if any safe torrent sites. Also be careful friend. SA used to be a real hard rear end about files... although nowadays different sub forums play by their own rules. Some share files pretty freely and others don’t. GW needs to make all the rules, including armies, free imo

Yesterday I bought the little $35 GW mini-case so I can carry around just my Kill Team dudes and dice and whatever, did I gently caress up and waste my money? Also I’m going to try and play my second KT game ever today, we’ll see how it goes! At this point I think I’m still in the “learn the mechanics” stage, I haven’t even given any thought to cool stratagems or whatever.

Yeah I have a 1, 2 and 3 from KR mainly because the 3 wont fit as a carry on for flights. Sometimes I will check the single inside a piece of luggage with my clothes. I've never had a problem with that, but I am afraid to check an entire army. The 2 is really nice for tournaments you are traveling to via planes. But it cannot always hold the largest of models + the army. The 3 is nice locally too.

It's weird why 40k doesn't go the direction of AoS regarding rules and unit cards. That game is far more open to new players and it's odd that each core game has a different ethos around what is essentially a business decision.Xenomrph posted:Yesterday I bought the little $35 GW mini-case so I can carry around just my Kill Team dudes and dice and whatever, did I gently caress up and waste my money?

It really is - and not only that - Daryl (the owner) is an absolute gentleman. I have told him many times directly that his web site is costing him business. I shudder to think of how many sales he loses as a result, because the product and people that work to sell it are a great group of folks.

I bought that kill team case when it came out and I get asked about it fairly often, I guess a lot of people didn't realize it was a launch run only. It's great for Deathwatch bc I can bring two separate Kill Teams in one convenient case (my elegant solution for tokens and dice? Gallon-sized Ziploc)
