I need a case that'll fit 30 Marines, 2 autocannon Predators without sponsons and 3 Rhinos. I would like to buy this case from KR for as cheap as possible. Any idea what foam and case I should get?

 

The reason I'm asking you lot is I tried to buy one the other week and... well if 40K was a 15mm game I'd be laughing. I just can't follow their website at all, and they haven't responded to my email.

I like the GW ones they do a good job.

 

KR is a pain to figure out! Standard = general pre cut or pluck foams

Custom is army / game specific cuts but then you have to sort through what you need and the differences.

Once I figured that out their auto fill / suggestion app is a bit easier to use.

You might need a KR double case for that many tanks and the infantry, you'll have some spare space, but that's just room to collect more dudes :wink:.

 

For tanks, I've found the large pick and pluck trays the best, they fit a Rhino hull vertically (standing on the rear door) pretty well. I've used the full size trays, which are code D1T, but you might be able to fit 5 tanks into a half tray (if you can then a single case will probably suffice). The code for the half tray is D1H.

 

For the Marines, I think the one's I use are the 23mm deep ones. It's M4T for the full tray and M4H for the half. They're fine for normal Marines, but I've found the F4 H/T trays better for Terminator sized models. If you want Primaris, I don't have first hand experience, but I'd probably go for either the TDA F4s, or the slightly deeper (32mm) M3 or F3 trays.

 

Hope this helps.

Are the Pred turrets removable, if so you could use this tray:  https://www.krmulticase.com/product/trays/SM11+SM11?m=GW&s=WH40K&a=SM

 

Two of these would cover 40 Marines: https://www.krmulticase.com/product/trays/SM58?m=GW&s=WH40K&a=SM

 

That would leave you with 1/2 width 1/3 height for say some pick and pluck for odds and ends. https://www.krmulticase.com/product/trays/D3H

 

All in one case.

KR aren't too bad but they are very budget. 
Especially if you get the cardboard one and it somehow gets wet... not a fun experience. 
I've recently picked up a crusade case and im really tempted to get another haha. 
It stores pretty much everything I have without problems except for vehicles. 
1 crusade case is good for a large SM army with vehicles, or if you are like me you can store all of your armies infantry in 1 case. 
I've managed to store my black templars, grey knights, imperial fists, admech, death guard and primaris marines all in one case. 
The 2nd one will be for my cadians and vostroyans. 

Fyi GW cases don't do well with metal minis because the vertical spacers aren't glued to the bases

If you want to put metal minis in put them in the very bottom foam. I found out the hard way what happens when the foam sags. :(
