Best storage and transport cases for miniatures
Painted armies deserve better than a shoebox. For games away from home you want a case that holds models still; at home, a paint rack saves hunting for pots.
What to look for
- Magnetic cases (steel sheet plus magnets in the bases) hold any model and are easy to reorganise.
- Pick-and-pluck foam is cheap but wears out; cut foam fits your models exactly.
- Size the case to your army plus room to grow.
- A tiered paint rack for the pots you use most.

Tips
- Put a magnet under each base before painting: it's much harder afterwards.
- Keep tall models' weak points (spears, banners) away from foam edges.
