I voted graphite, but like black also. The darker neutrals appeal because I can do anything I want to them, and they don't dirty over time. If I was going to get a color I'd get the red.

I voted black, but as has been said before, pretty much any of them are fine. I think the neutrals will get more varied use (I'm thinking about picking up one or two for my Necromunda gangs) and won't get as noticably dirty over time, but the colours are nice too for a bit of variety.

And on that note, any chance of seeing a green available (preferrably something in the darker end of the spectrum)?

Hey Tom, what are the chances you could sell both the cases, and then also separately offer the foam trays as well? So rather than getting, say, four different plastic cases to store four teams -- or just one case and swapping out entire teams worth of figures every time, if the coach didn't want to buy four different plastic cases -- the coach could order a one case and three extra foam trays; each team could then be stored in a separate tray and the trays could just be into/out of the case as needed when they need to carry a given team somewhere.

Yup not a problem. I need to order them seperately anyway. So not a problem to offer them seperately.

Oops, that's what I get for posting here before looking there... :oops: Good to know, though! Bumps my purchase probability up even higher, once they're available. :)

Where and when will a post go up mentioning when they are available. I love the idea of having multiple inserts for each case, but I would still buy multiple cases if that was not available.

Just ordered them ... they should be in by the end of the month. Prices for UK/Europe will be high to start with ... but should go down by the end of the year as I get a quantity of them moved over to the UK and we can ship them out from there.

Just got back the final specs on the custom foam insides that they are making just for Impact!

Quick explanation ... B goes on the bottom of the case, then A, then C on top. The cross-hatched areas are die-cut which means the foam is a solid block. You can choose to remove which of the 20 die-cut squares for your case. Thus giving you maximum internal integrity to the foam. (ie if you have a one Big Guy and 11 players team ... you can remove only one of the four square blocks and 11 of the 16 individual blocks and leave the rest solid.

so theres 16 small squares [for standard BB players] and the 2 big squares could have the big guys, if we wanted to take out all the foam were its got the cross-hatches?

so from that i get its 16 small bases and 2 big guy players?

If you didn't have any big guys you would just remove 2 squares from each of the 4 block patterns in a diagional and then you could do 20 small bases and no big guys if you wanted.

I got a sample of this in now and I think it was pretty sweet. Definitely going to be using them for my teams going forward.
