Given the blood, sweat and tears I put into my
Deathwatch and
Genestealer Cult, I want them to be protected. I acquired a
Battle Foam tray- here's what I think of it.

This product has two pre-cut foam trays for all the figures. There is a smaller, generic tray which has a thin foam lid for extra protection. There is a deeper, custom cut tray which takes the marines and larger figures.
Good:
The quality is excellent. The figures fit perfectly, apart from the biker (who I had deliberately angled on his base for an extra sense of motion, and a quick foam trim with scissors fixes that). The trays fit into the game box with all the components, and they feel sturdy and protected.

Trays fit neatly into box... |

... and hold all the miniatures. |
Could be better:
The trays fit into the game box, but this does not allow the lid to fit on snugly. It is a fairly shallow box, and I'm not sure there would be a straightforward fix.
There is no room for the dice- I've bagged them and put them in with the Patriarch.
I may trim part of the deep tray to allow the card decks to nestle on top, as they are an awkward fit otherwise.
The shallow tray is a few millimetres too short for the cultists with antennae.
Ideally for me, the two factions would have separate trays.

There's a height discrepancy... |
|
...which is corrected by adding all the card components... |
|
...resulting in a bit of an elevated lid. |
Whilst not perfect, this product is a good storage and transport option, and the only specific one I'm aware of on the market. 4.5/ 5 Skullz.

The antennas are a little too tall for the box. |
There will be a bonus post later today, with the anticipated completed Deathwatch group shot, some game photos, and final thoughts!
Always nice to have a way to store your minis safe! :)
ReplyDeleteI find more and more that I'm looking at projects and thinking, 'How will I store and transport this?'
DeleteThanks for the review. Certainly beats wrapping them in kitchen towel and cramming them into a tupperware box.
