These 5 cases fit most of the foam trays you probably already have for your miniatures and are on sale right now for under $50!
This case isn’t originally made for minis, but there are always great alternatives out there to save you some cash! This is from Harbor Freight and the sale ends on Feb. 11th, so if you want it, don’t wait. Unfortunately, we didn’t catch the sale very early, but you still have two days left to grab it!
It looks to be very heavy-duty, weatherproof, dustproof, impact-resistant, and bigger than a lot of similar cases. It’s 6″ deep so you can fit a 4″ and a 2″ insert in there, which is pretty nice. It also comes with some pluck foam so you don’t have to buy extra if you can make what’s there work for you. Let’s check it out!
Apache Carrying Case: $44.99 (Sale Price)
While the case isn’t as deep as some other cases, it’s super heavy duty and looks like it will keep your minis very safe during transportation. If you don’t feel like cutting the foam out yourself, Battle Foam has a ton of sweet precut inserts for specific armies and the 12-1/2 x 15 trays fit in here nicely. If you want to go that route, check it out here!
Protect cameras, microphones, handguns and other specialized equipment with this exceptionally rugged Apache® weatherproof storage case. Constructed from extremely durable polypropylene, this professional quality hard case takes a beating while protecting the contents from impact, moisture and microscopic dust. The built-in purge valve equalizes pressure so you can open the case after changing elevations.
- IP65 Rated- watertight and dustproof
- Pick-and-pull foam insert for impact-absorbing protection
- Strong, secure, easy-open latches
- Adjustable pressure relief valve equalizes pressure for easy opening
- Pre-drilled for two padlocks (locks sold separately)
- Super strong reinforced polypropylene construction
- Interior dimensions: 17-7/8 in. x 12-7/8 in. x 6-1/8 in.
Let’s look at how it works with actual miniature foam inserts.
Carrying Case With Mini Inserts
With the Standard 15″x12″ Battle Foam
Old Citadel Case Foam
Battlefoam 12-1/2 x 15″ tray flush against the back
Battle Foam Skirmisher (old gw tray size)
The Apache even comes with its own foam that you can pluck out to fit one of the other foam trays inside!
You can see it works pretty well with all kinds of inserts! Whether you want to go with a few smaller ones or mix it up with the bigger sizes and smaller ones. It’s also wider than most of the original GW ones, so you can get two side by side or throw in two bigger ones on top of each other. While it’s not as deep as some cases, this will really keep your minis safe!
Plus like we said above you can even pluck out that apache foam to fit the other trays inside of it, or use the foam the case comes with to protect your larger items!
That does it for this one! If these foam cases are made to keep precious electronics safe in transport, it should keep those precious miniatures free from harm too. If you want it at the sale price, don’t wait!
