This is funny. My standard grunts go in a plastic baggie (as they deserve) and the remainder go into a cardboard box, using said inflated baggies as insulators. Win.

I have some cheap cube shelves at home and the Harvmatta fits in them perfectly. Great for storing the minis at home and keeping them organized

For 3D printers there is the OMNI case that can be printed. I believe it in on MMF. It is very customizable and you can print as many as you need

Depending where you are from you might be able to get your hands on a carrying bag originally designed for transporting and storing overlock sewing machines. The bags by W6 (german or austrian manufacturer) are a perfect fit for Harvmatta and it's predecessor Kivssle and cost around 20€. Can be a bit of a struggle to get them in there, but especially if you remove the plate at the bottom of the carrying bag you should be doing fine. The bag is closable of course, comes with a handle (so no strain on the metal parts while lifting the case) and even has a bag on the inside of the lid in which you can store rulebooks or other stuff. I always add on of the unused trays in there which offers extra protection from the front. I have several of them in use and very pleased with the solution.

I mounted my Harvmatta inside a cheap makeup-suitcase with wheels and a front opening, that solved the weight and sturdiness issues, it also made it so the trays couldn’t fall out.

Don-t leave gaps in the door if you dont want dusty minis

For the glue on the Harvmatta, if you use methlyated spirits it will dissolve and wipe off easily, better than IPA. It's also pretty similar in footprint to the standard foam trays you see in most figure cases - I put them in empty figure case to transport, with a little foam to either side. Gives extra storage pouches and a nice handle, and when swapping armies, can just slot the shelves into a Kallax :) .

The really useful box with a magnetic sticky sheet on the bottom and magnetized minis has been great. All I play is kill team so Im able to store my 3 teams with no fuss and room for more. BUT, make sure you don’t have any extremely tall minis or you may need to buy a taller box. My Necron Technomancer is literally just a couple millimeters too tall for the 4L so he has to lay down for a nap when we travel. But I use other 4L containers to store all my paints and craft supplies. It makes it so that they all stack neatly into a tote or in a neat stack in my closet. I’ve had a really good experience with them.

My dude, some tips to make this way better - Go back to the hardware store and buy a pop rivet gun and some rivets. These are both super cheap. Rivet the cases together, meaning no weird 3D printed corners Rivet your Hinges instead of using nuts and bolts. You glossed over how your nuts block 2 rows of possible tray heights, PER NUT. the rivets will fix that. Ditch the magnetic clasp. We both know it's pointless and adds unnecessary bulk. Just get a 90° latch buckle. Again, stupid cheap, low profile and will actually hold the door closed. Personal preference but I'd have gone with a pivoting handle, again for less bulk. Laslty, if you're going to stencil, don't do it backwards. You cut out the shape and spray into the hole let by the cut out shape. Regardless, if you want to do it the way you did it, spray the symbol in the same colour as the background you've already put down. When dry, go over with the 2nd colour. This will stop colour bleed and give you crisper lines. Also, if you're going to say to go easy when drilling, I'd try and edit the video so you don't look like you're brute forcing the drill bit through every hole. That bit is blunt my dude. Sharpen it or replace it before you damage something or injure yourself. Otherwise, use a smaller bit first and then go up a couple of sizes to the desired size.

The Ikea Harmvat fits pretty perfectly into a Tabletop Tyrants bag... It's heavy as though being all steel.

These look good! Perhaps glue the spare shelf upside down below the top to stiffen it up a bit? And I might 3D print a small handle with the same bolt spacing as the metal catch strip to help open the door.

Nice modification to the cases! If you want to avoid the drawers sliding out, you can attach magnets on the front lip and insert the drawers backwards. Then the magnets will stick to the rear panel and keep the drawers in place. About the flex: the dangerous flex is if the side panels buckle outwards and the middle drawer drops out of its rail and on top of the minis below. I'm thinking about reinforcing the side panels with some plywood, but haven't gotten to this part of the project yet.

Looks great! the only stuff i would change is that i would have a light finegrit sandpaper do-over before spraypainting the cases as to avoid chipping down the line. And just a tip, when using stencils either apply a varnish first and let it dry, or apply another layer of the colour that's underneath the stencil and let it dry a couple of mins, and then apply the main colour to avoid paint creeping under the stencil. (if one wants/going for the clean line look, that is) :)

Looks great, but that flex when you pick up the case at 24:57 😮 I would have a hard time trusting this to keep my minis safe

I've actually ordered HARVMATTA. There is one slight detail you forgot to mention... This thing is HEAVY as F! That could never be a transport case, unless all you do is drive and barely walk. Anyone who thinks you can easily carry this think -- you cannot. It's bulky and it's heavy. Stick to plastic containers in IKEA bag.

I absolutely love this! i will definitely get one made for my death guard, i think contagious boils all over it and rounded corner protectors made to look like boils. I never thought of doing something like this, great vid!

would love to see one for the skaven (AoS) if you play AoS that is...

Awesome video and you have done an amazing job building the case, they look awesome. I always think it would be fair to include time spent too, although it's fun to build, I imagine you had to put in a lot of time. Regardless, you have inspired me to give this a go. Thankyou

I saw something similar to that last one, but used what I believe is a smaller letter box (kvissle) and just put one in the lurvig pet carrier. It fits really snuggly and there's room behind for stuff like tokens, books, and such!

i might try and make that door solution for my gsw transport boxes, they are really handy but damm i wish i had a protective front

I knew that the algorithm was watching me but that I had just been thinking how fragile my new minis were for storage and transport!!!! How on earth did it read my mind😮

Everyone could always do what we did 25+ years ago. Magnetize your figs and buy metal tool boxes... of all varieties .. not expensive. Baking trays... a router ... MDF .. and done too. cheers 😆👍

very cool and helpful video, it is a bit unfortunate I've already decided on using metal discs glued to the bottom of my minis vs magnets because I play aeldari so a lot of my models are a bit more top heavy and I need something a little heavier so they don't just fall over after bumps, also because they are 1mm thick vs 2mm so they can fit on non-gw bases as well.

I think my only issue is how much the case flexes when you lift it up. I'm already thinking of additional storage on the side and that flex would make me feel uneasy. Also I think a printed frame for the door would help close the gaps and give it a more complete look.

I farted right at the end, a+ video

I have 16 of the havarta shelves, 15 to add shelves to my glass ikea cabinets 1 for transport, it fits in a can cooler, lol.

If I had a 3D printer I would probably do this because I was looking at this IKEA case for a while. I think you did a fantastic job.

My local wine store gives out there old wooden boxes I use those to transport my models some times but I just magnetize and use a baking tray

Much nicer than my own DIY effort.

I wish these channels would have some different music. The same corporate shopping music playing on loop for 20 minutes becomes grating really quick.

What a coincidence! I just finished putting the Hive War box together and was looking at decent diy ways to bring it along for the holidays. Cheers!

Excellent

Narrative play?! That's sounds fun, I've only seen the competitive side of this hobby. I also just started getting into it shortly after SM2 released. Currently paint my inner circle comp battle force

Finally someone who keeps storage in mind! A much underrated topic in this hobby in my humble opinion. Thanks for the video! 👍🏼

Looks real.

Could these be used for Warcry?

A very clever use of sprue. If I had one suggestion, it's that I think the sprue should be covered in rust, it reminds me of a weird type of camouflage netting, and makes sense that it would be old rusted metal. These came out really good.

New subscriber here. Bonus points for creative uses for cast off materials, making playable terrain, and for being additionally creative with your instructional and educational video. I'm looking forward to watching more.

Nicely done! Just made my first homemade battle mat about a month ago as well! Gonna do another in a different setting soon, Im curious if you're worried about your edge fraying? Inhavent finised my edges yet. I just left them an inch or 2 long. I was thinking of folding over and sewing but haven't done it yet, but they might not fray since the caulking is embedded in the cloth. Thanks for the video! 🤙👍🐙

As borning as competitive terrain is this is by far the best looking stuff ive seen, nice work 07

Really smart idea of using magnet to keep the terrain flat

Did you cut foam core on your proxxon?

awesome vid! will start working on this kind of project once i finished my ork army :) tnx for the inspiration ;)

This is pretty great for a competition table! I've seen far too many horrid ones, and these are just nice!

Nice work dude ✨✨

Competition terrain is so much more balanced than anything I have made.

Fantastic!!! I got so many ideas from this video!!

Yay. I need to make more Sci-Fi terrain, so this is perfect. And I feel that scratch building terrain is extremely therapeutic for me. PS. Plus I despise MDF and 3D prints. ;)

Anything for views huh, destroy grandpa's work for warhammer views. Pathetic.

Could you make these back to back? I.e before you cut the size then one role would have 2 maps on it.
