Having looked online for any pictures of how eldar fit in to it, and being unable to find any such pictures, I figured I'd do a little review, and show some pictures myself.
Warning: all models are work in progress, or not even at that stage yet :P
To start out, I set a goal for what I wanted to have army wise, when I'm "done" with my eldar collection.
I managed to come up with about 8k worth of points (including weapon options on most) that would actually fit in this bag.
After figuring out which models I would need to fit, I started by selecting some standard trays:
1 x (Eldar) 12 Eldar Jetbike 18 Troop Foam Tray
1 x (Eldar) 30 Fire Dragon Foam Tray
1 x (Eldar) 25 Warp Spiders 11 Swooping Hawks Foam Tray
1 x (Eldar) Eldar Troop Foam Tray (BF-1) (1 inch)
Then I modified the loadout of the "Eldar Named Character Troop Foam Tray", by asking to have the spaces for the 9 dire avengers at the bottom replaced with:
1 more Autarch with Power Sword space, 2 warlock with witchblade spaces, and 5 more warlock with singing spear spaces.
In addition I designed 3 trays myself with their tray creator:
After a few emails to discuss the details of what I wanted (mostly with regards to the named character tray), the bag arrived this last month.
It's made from canvas, with a rigid interior to protect the trays, so even when empty it stays in shape perfectly.
There's a zipper on the front, in which you can fit codexes and templates and such:
Then on each side there's a bigger bag, that will fit things like the BRB:
The handle bar will extend, similar to suitcases, and it has 2 wheels on the back so it can roll.
In addition the back has 2 bags, for which I am yet to find any use.. they're a bit too narrow and deep to put anything in it, that I can think of so far:
The bag opens on the front, so you can either take out the trays while it's standing up, or just lay it on its back and then take them out.
It fits about 22 inches of foam, and each tray comes with a bottom made out of stronger foam, so they're quite sturdy.
Now as I am magnetizing everything, I only need space for wave serpents without turrets (although they do fit even with turrets). As such, the custom tray I ordered will fit 2 wave serpents on top of each other, with a spacer inbetween (that was supplied as I asked for it). It is 4.5 inches thick so it will fit both, as well as my forgeworld avatar (sword version) in the 4 inch circle in the middle.
I also added a box on the side of the jetbike shapes, to fit the turrets:
4 serpents, up to 14 jetbikes. |
Jetbike cutout for spacers |
Top wave serpent |
Serpent spacer |
Bottom serpent |
Turret storage. |
The second custom tray, I designed for 6 war walkers, 3 wraithlords, storage for any weapon options (both for the walkers/wraithlords, and the serpents) and another space for the avatar/anything else large.
This one is 5 inches deep, fitting the avatar with ease.
I also added a large rectangle for storage of any kind, and some smaller ones to hold weapons again.
Walker/wraithlord tray. |
Warwalker in its slot. |
Wraithlord in its slot. |
It's only 2.5 inches deep, so no spacers for this one.
Fire prism tray. |
Fire prism in its slot, note the space in the front for the prism crystal, and the space in the back for the antenna. |
Named char/warlock tray. |
Warlock slot, he fits quite nicely. |
Farseer, sorry no head/right arm, but should show how it fits. |
Bone singer fits in one of the 3 standard slots. |
As for standard trays, excuse the lack of heads/arms on the guardians and dire avengers. I'm just using them to show the size.
12 Eldar Jetbike 18 Troop Foam Tray
This one is 2 inches deep, so models can stand in the slots, quite handy with swords and pistols sticking out otherwise.
The dire avenger autarch fits on his back in the bigger slots.
Jetbike, and DA Exarch with banner. |
Models can stand in these slots. |
1.5 inch deep.
Dire avengers will fit quite well in these it seems. |
1.5 inch deep. This will hold my spiders/swoops/dark reapers.
And the last tray, is a standard Eldar Troop Foam Tray of 1 Inch.
In this one models will not be able to stand up, but lying down you can still fit quite a bit.
All in all I'm quite happy with the case. It takes some wiggling to get all the trays in, but once they're in it's rock solid, and I do love the storage for the codexes and BRB.
