So... I got to thinking today about my titans... Now, I love these models. They're awesome, they're huge and they're really cool. But I ran into a bit of a problem: Transportation. ANyone know of a good place to get foam tablets or the like which are large enough to fit these things in them? Specifically Warlords, Reavers and Emperors. The smaller titans and knights can fit inside standard 25mm tablets without much trouble after all.

Yes search for Sabol Army Transports
www.thewarstore.com carries them but if you're looking for some in the UK you might have to run your own search ???

We have a local store called Foam Mart that caters to the upholsters and such. Hey sell foam and related products in many different types and sizes. I am sure they have similar stores in most major cities. Just by a sheet the right height and cut a square to fit your ?Box?. Then cut out spaces to fit the titans you wish to transport. That way you know they are covered and yet not too loose either.

if you're in the UK, Figures in Comfort do a great range of Foam trays which fit well into GW carry cases. They also do a nice arnage of bags if you want to go that far, but I would advise against the solid plastic case they do - later ones I've received dont close too well.

Any arts/crafts/decorating DIY store should have foam available.

Aye- I use the small plastic single layer cases for small fighters/spaceships. Anything bigger and they dont close too well.

Figures in comfort do a couple of double depth trays that suit different scale titans. One is designed for chariots. I have got 1 tray that could take 4 Imperators (so far I only have 3- that might be enough) and another tray can take 10 Warlords/Reavers.
