Imperial Guard travel - the cheap way

Ok yes I have a Army Transport bag but honestly the pick and pull foam and the low budget I have right now keep me from buying more trays so I can adjust to my new army. What I needed was a cheap easy way to carry a buttload of plastic Cadians around at a moments notice and I found it last week at Hobby Lobby of all places. I know there are a ton of plastic containers out there (we actually have a Plano outlet store near me here in the Chicago area) but these were $1.99 and amazingly I originally bought them for bits and paint.

I got these home and just for the heck of it decided to see if a plastic Cadian trooper would fit inside. Low and behold THREE of them fit into one pocket and the tray even included a long slot that was perfect for either heavy weapon guns (all of mine are detachable) or standard bearers. The best thing of course is that they all fit INSIDE the Army Transport platoon bags I use and stack nicely.

Take a look if you get the chance. These are standard compartmentalized craft bead and accessory holders you see in the store. Hudson out!

  3. I haven't played 40k in about a year. We did a little mini-team tournament.....I've moved away from all things Imperial and amassed huge amounts of Eldar.....started painting them yellow and black, bumblebees are scary right? Rules are much better now than before, although the terrain rules still confuse me...why go back to "models eye view" instead of having size categories....anyways let me know if you are going to stop by Adepticon at the Westin this weekend (i think you can just walk in even if you arent playin, not sure) I'm playing in a blood bowl tourny there with my Lizardmen team called Lizz in my Pants!

  5. It is huge now. A bunch of vendors and now other games like Flames of War. The 40k Radio guys are there too. It's fun to check out. Usually BB is in another room around the corner from the main ballroom. Stop on by, Dean will be there too, and maybe Rufer. It'll be good to see ya.
