I'm guessing this is the right place for this kind of question.
WIth my range of miniatures gradually expanding, and more and more hours going into getting them all painted up, I find myself wanting for a better and nicer way to store, and eventually transport, them.
Right now, I've got nearly everything stuffed into one of those screw organizer things with lots of tiny drawers. Something like this:
I've found, however, that spearmen and pikemen really tend to get themselves lodged in there. Metal models rubbing against each other (that sounds wrong) doesn't do much good for the paint job either. Storing my mini's like this is iffy, but transporting them is a plain no-go.
I am aware of several manufacturers of cases and foam specifically designed to store and carry miniatures - obviously GW, but also KR Multicase, Sabol, Battlefoam and Feldherr. I've heard positive comments about all - some more than others, mind you. One question remains unanswered, however: how well do LotR mini's fit the "standard" infantry foam trays?
Numbers of mini's and, accordingly, bag sizes are individual criteria, but we have our troop sizes in common. With spears and swords going every which way, I'd hate to see myself plucking and cutting at foam trays for days on end.
