But...On the whole I really like my battlefoan bags. But this one wasn't as thought out as it could've been. Or perhaps future proofed is a beter way of looking at it. But I'm not sure thats Battlefoams fault. I think it's more Wyrds fault because I really don't think they had a clue where they were heading. Love my Warmachine bag, love my Infinity Bag and I totally love my PACK 720. No doubt I'll be coveting a Heavy Gear Blitz bag soon... God am I really that much of a brand whore as well?God damn it how am I so easily manipulated? I even know they're doing it!!!

That being said, I have a few key issues with BF bags. I sleeve my Fate cards, and keep them in a Ultra-Pro deck box. That doesn't fit in the bag. Also, I really dont like how the bag STANDS up. IMHO models are meant to lay down flat. If you put your bag flat and put the minis in, slide the tray in (and this isnt 100% applicable to the Malifaux bag, but it is to their other products, and I work at a game store that carries their entire line), put the bag down wrong-side-up and pull...well, its an added thing to be cautious about that Im not a fan of.<br /><br />So, good review. I tend to stick with Army Transport...but even their soft-sided bags arent the best :( I just wish there was a universal tray size...Kealios Achilles-Fanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426175974761536021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-88620688277694049692011-12-17T11:53:24.945+00:002011-12-17T11:53:24.945+00:00PS, to those of you who like my lolzcatz articles ...PS, to those of you who like my lolzcatz articles I'll be posting some up in the week long run towards Christmas.

Serious creep. And yep I'm in 100% agreement they need to consolidate their rules into a more manageable system. I also think their profile cards need a rethink and a redesign. It's almost there though as a game system. Just a bit of care and attention given to the rules and some better product planning and 2nd ed Malifaux could really take off again. Yep a decent bag is a must. As I've said before the time, money and love we pour into our miniature collections is often impressive... for us then to store and carry them so haphazardly baffles me it really does. Rhianna or Romeo, I know who I'd rather spend the evening with but who would you trust with your miniatures? <br /><br />@Mickey, I'm actually told the Battlefoam FoW bag is utterly brilliant, although I don't own one. I was told by a FoW nut that like me he wouldn't be putting his mini's in anything else. Go onto the Battlefoam website and look at the product there its better organised. Wayland Games website is so epically dire it's untrue. It's like it was designed to stop you finding the product you want, I hate it. The lay out and ordering of much of the product as well makes me wander if the person doing the web design is a gamer!!!<br /><br />@SinSynn, hey!!! What the hell is wrong with RED?!?! It's a fine colour for a handbag!Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-43254863306732754622011-12-17T07:24:46.870+00:002011-12-17T07:24:46.870+00:00@ Mickey- I've seen it and it's really nic...@ Mickey- I've seen it and it's really nice.<br />Just don't get it in red.<br />;)SinSynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352693991857976930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-13005866897375575702011-12-17T02:11:58.846+00:002011-12-17T02:11:58.846+00:00Great review as usual FL.

Likewise the Infinity bags. The Malifaux bag isn't a bad size for some of the smaller skirmish games, its just the standard foam load out wasn't great to begin with and now Wyrd have expanded the game beyond where many thought it would be, it's sort of outgrown the bag. I think Wyrd need to slow it down as I said in an article recently. Whether they will is anybodies guess.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-1081180286501684762011-12-16T17:22:24.870+00:002011-12-16T17:22:24.870+00:00What's the actual difference between the diffe...What's the actual difference between the different game-specific Battlefoam bags?
