I use it neat. Says on the bottle it is designed for both. Keep the pressure a bit higher than when painting and goes through fine. Hardest bit is spotting where it is on the model without going too heavy. This is probably easier on a model that is not white however!

Cheers. I'll take a look at this.

You could always try the KR Multicases. You can get different types of containers and custom foam layouts for them, and they're generally better value than the GW cases.

I'm hoping to get the majority of my Dark Angels built by the weekend (current total for that half of the box currently stands at...the Terminator Sergeant), so I can start spraying the primer on. Whether or not I actually manage it is anyone's guess.

I have a Battlefoam P.A.C.K 720 that so far has only been used around the house to hold what ive finished but im very happy with it

ShadowMan · 22 Apr 2013 at 14:33

Battlefoam are on back order until end of May

I want a 720 and if I ever sell my Wood Elf army I will probably buy one.

I need to get a case but cba paying the stupid price GW want, can create a decent solution for around £30, find a case you want, get some foam trays from ebay, sorted.

drumunsta · 22 Apr 2013 at 15:00

i like the battlefoam bags like wud it be best to get the bag empty then get the foam trays for what you need, ideally i need a cheap but affective solution lol

I use Kaiser Rush Multicases for my models, and they're starting to do them precut to specific armies (IE foam cut to take a Devilfish/hammerhead with the legs down, or another with the legs up).

I need to pick up some more of the actual foam inserts, as I have several of the card boxes, a double alu and a single alu case, but also use things like really useful boxes (with the foam in) for storage.

Well I think it works out cheaper buying the bag with the foam you want in it. I did that with 3 custom cut trays and a standard troop tray.

I keep looking at the Battlefoam cases, but at the moment Im using a small box with all my CSM's in it, and then a welcome box that came with my mortgage for my tanks, blight drones and a few bits, then all in a Really Useful box which also has in a folder with my codex, dice etc.

Also anyone know what diameter the transparent green rods necrons use?

Cheers

Von Smallhausen · 22 Apr 2013 at 19:56

Bloody GW can't they have used a bloody standard size lol will have to keep looking

Von Smallhausen · 22 Apr 2013 at 20:02

What size do you need ? Are they for standard Necron gauss guns ?

Yeah, I am considering Necrons as my next army, but was going for a different colour scheme, so wanted to know what size they were, so I could look to see what colours were available in replacement rods.

JHeaton · 22 Apr 2013 at 22:14

All right, doubled the number of models I have ready to paint. Total currently stands at two Terminators. :cool:

The bay usually have different coloured rods and there are tutorials on customising gauss rifles. One involved replacing the rod with what looked like entwined fishing line and it looked good.

On the bay now .....
