Another storage topic

By Bloodstripe Baron, in X-Wing

My normal storage is worked out. I use the red Plano box, one for each faction so I have 3.

What does everyone use for tournaments? I have been emptying out the least filled of the cases and put th bare minimum of everything in but it's a pain to unload and reload everything before and after a tournament.

So I'm looking for a small storage thing that can hold a 100 point list, tokens, dials, templates, and range ruler And can hold large ships like firesprays, decimators and shuttles.

Thanks!

I always found it's the cards and tokens that are a pain to get out. Maybe have them all in a baggie before you get there. Then, just pop them out and fish out the ships.

Battle foam has a small case designed for tournaments.

For game nights and tourneys I just use a Stanley Sortmaster Junior (197483 model I think)

It easily holds all the cards, dials, templates etc for 3-4 lists

you can pick them up for not much more than £7 each, add another £3 for a chunk of foam to make some protective inserts and you're good to go.

After the Decimator came out I did have to Dremel out the dividers of a couple of the central compartments to - took me all of 2 minutes.

I use the BattleFoam P.A.C.K. C4. It is custom designed for Imperial and Rebel load outs. Comes with a tray for either Imp or Rebel and another that holds cards, tokens, range rulers and more. I love it so far.

I use the Plano 732 personally:

ships go in the middle three, tokens go in the small one on the left, and I use the small one on the right for tournaments. I just put everything I need for my games in that one box and it fits just fine.

I even fit my Rebel Transport in the clear pop up portions on the top, and my flip books with my cards in the big top section.

plano 3600 is what i WAS using. holds enough for a 100 point list and everything else needed for the game. The reconfigurable dividers are handy for that. however I will be swapping to a Battle foam 216 shortly since it zips to my Battle foam 720 bag.. I will be essentially designing a universal 100 point carrying case JUST for tournaments and or travel games. That way i don't have to take my entire 720 unless its an epic game. Or just want to show off my fleet.. :rolleyes:

Battle foam is out for me because I want to not have my tournament list have to only include ships that were released at the time I bought the foam.

Andy overall storage is fine, I'm just looking for suggestions for a small travel container for the bare necessities.

I only went to 2 tournaments, and both times I fly 4 small rebel ships with at least one X-wing. So I packed the X-Wing in the core set. The 3 other ships went in the original plastic inlays, and these again in the core set. The spaces for the Tie Fighters were used for tokens, the cards and asteroids as well as the templates went also in the core set. So I only had the core set with me.
