Magnetic Carry Casses

[nidnewbie]

Hello Hive Mind!

I played my first game of 40K New Years Day 2020 and soon after started collecting Nids and have been having a blast so far. I have been magnetizing my models and storing them in large Tupperware containers with a sheet of metal glued to the bottom. I have to such containers made and two waiting to be built. The metal is 12" X  20". I think it's now time to invest in a LARGE carry case for my hoard. I had planned on making something similar to a video I saw making metal racks to top load into a large plastic work case. I don't have the necessary skills to make this but may have friends I can recruit for the job. Another friend just bought the biggest magna rack sold by battlefoam, I have yet to see it for myself. I am curious to see how customizable it is in terms of different shelf heights. The trays themselves don't sound like they have a lot of surface area.

I would love to hear from more experienced hobbyists about their experiences. Specifically, assuming I NEVER buy a bio titan, what is the tallest model I will need to store? I do not own a sporocyst but some day I may.

I have some battle foam Magna rack cases. I might try and grab a few photos later today and maybe put together a bit of a review. Summary though - I love it.

It's really good. I got the 1520 and it stores a lot but is a bit bulky. They give you more trays than I could use so I use one for painting or both trays for transporting a smaller army.

As for height, you need 8" for the flyrant. They give you a mix of 6", 4", and 2" supports so you can configure your case how you want to.

Thanks for the reviews!

My friend loves his 1520 but has decided to use foam for his Magnus and Mortarion models to give him more vertical space. When he comes to play on Saturday I will give his case a thorough inspection.

Is the Flyrant the tallest model we have? Once the summer is over, I hope to have a better idea of exactly what kind of space I will want from a travel system.

Can anyone recommend another solution?

Has anyone built their own?

I find something like this VERY INTERESTING: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu7sj7JuLy8&t=265s

Yup. The flyrant is the tallest (non forgeworld) model we have. I think they trygon prime is the next closest at 6".

You only need a 6” for flyrant. That’s all I have in the bottom of mine.

Wrote a review today, grabbing pics now so will post it in a few hours or so.
