Rules

Keep it civil.
No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
No political or social cause agenda pushing.

How do you transport your armies? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Coming from the world of D&D where all my minis are basically just stored in tins and boxes loosely, I really don't want to do that with my first Warhammer army.

So that's basically why I'm asking, how do you folks store and transport your armies?

All my minis have steel discs glued to their bases to attach to my custom painting handle, so they can be magnetically attached to things.

Glue small magnets to the bottom of each base. Use a tool box or glue a sheet of ferrous metal to the bottom of a plastic tub. magnet bases are also nice for painting and priming.

I've got steel discs in the bases currently because I didn't want my minis crashing together with magnets in their bases.

My painting handle has magnets on top which really helps with holding the minis for painting as those magnets don't mess around. I've also got a bunch of those magnets as I use them for projects all the time.

I'll probably lay them out in a grid in a Rubbermaid tub and model up some shelves for the inside.
