I think the ork dreads can pretty much fit into their smaller killa kan slot. I think they are big to take into account crazy conversions, but I feel you would get more mileage out of your case if you traced all your walkers and measured their height to ensure you select trays that will suit the models. It might take a little work, but you will be glad you spent the time with it!Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-85683166857559637972014-10-02T06:51:21.392-07:002014-10-02T06:51:21.392-07:00Ya, It's a 2000 point army, I don't think ...Ya, It's a 2000 point army, I don't think I could fit it in a carry on. Lotta ork walkers! It's going to have to be that really big one. Pricy, but it would be nice to finally have some transport outside of lugging around shoe boxes and such.greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-34063790441749673392014-10-02T06:47:58.571-07:002014-10-02T06:47:58.571-07:00I am glad the review was helpful!

Last year, their Elite storage line was only 15% off, while the P.A.C.K. line maintained the traditional 25% off. It will be interesting to see how things are this year.<br /><br />I do not own any of the Black Label cases, but have examined a few in person, and they are extremely nice. Nothing really compares to them in the miniature gaming hobby. I have been considering getting one of the smaller ones just to experiment with and carry around some of my skirmish game models.<br /><br />Having said all that, their signature P.A.C.K. cases are really durable and sturdy, and would be excellent for taking on a plane. A lot would have to go amiss for your models to be harmed. If you really need the models to be in the checked luggage (rather than carry on), I think the Black Label cases are the way to go. They are far sturdier then most luggage bags, and have a place to put a lock. Regardless of what you decide on, I think you will be satisfied with their product, however.<br />Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-23378556024410246062014-10-01T18:41:32.962-07:002014-10-01T18:41:32.962-07:00Yeah, the price can be a pretty steep, and is ofte...Yeah, the price can be a pretty steep, and is often hard to justify if you do not travel with your models a lot. They do have some less expensive options, like the Shield and Sword bags, which are similar to the P.A,C.K. one, but without the plastic reinforcements. I have not used any, but I have heard they are really nice. Something to consider!Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-40376140461132732902014-10-01T14:42:11.102-07:002014-10-01T14:42:11.102-07:00Thanks for the great review Eric.

It looks like one of the only solutions I've found for actually checking an army for flight transport.<br /><br />Your black friday tip could end up saving me almost 100 bucks.

Nevertheless, I think for frequent players who want to move around armies this is the best solution. <br /><br />I currently have the large case from GW which gets me into problems for some of my converted models (not all orks or CSM are forced to fit in those cramped spaces) and now mainly use it as a paint holder.
