If you’re searching for a miniature carrying case that protects your models, keeps everything organized, and makes transporting miniatures effortless, you’ve come to the right place. A-Case offers top-tier storage cases for miniature armies, painters, and gamers who demand performance, protection, and style.

A-Case builds magnetic miniature carrying cases around a simple idea: your models should stand upright on a steel shelf and be held by a magnet, not squeezed into a foam cut-out. There is no foam anywhere in an A-Case – nothing to trim, nothing that grips a spear or a banner and snaps it when you pull the model out, and nothing that forces you to re-cut the tray every time your army list changes.
Every case in this category is built the same way: a powder-coated aluminium frame, powder-coated steel shelves that any magnet will stick to, lock-in pins that set the shelf spacing, and a high-quality polyester outer bag with a Velcro panel for your patches. You magnetise your models once, and from then on packing an army takes as long as it takes to place the models on the shelves.
All external dimensions below are the ones published on each product page (height × width × depth) and are indicative. “Usable internal height” is measured from the bottom shelf to the top of the casing.
| Model | Carry type | External dimensions | Usable internal height | Tray size | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-Case Victory 2.0 | Shoulder strap | 26.8 × 28 × 16.5 cm (10.55″ × 11″ × 6.49″) | 22 cm | 25 × 13.8 cm | 1.8 kg |
| A-Case Hybrid Messenger | Shoulder strap | 31.5 × 40 × 21 cm (12.4″ × 15.74″ × 8.26″) | 26.4 cm | 37 × 18.9 cm | 2.45 kg |
| A-Case Carrier | Padded backpack | 44 × 27 × 17 cm (~17.3″ × 10.6″ × 6.7″, without pockets) | 35.3 cm | 21.2 × 14.8 cm | 2.45 kg (with 3 trays) |
| A-Case Hybrid The Kane | Backpack | 56 × 39.5 × 24 cm (21″ × 15″ × 9.44″) | 54.5 cm | 36.8 × 20.9 cm | 4.4 kg |
| DuoPack | Backpack + shoulder bag | Carrier + Hybrid Messenger in one set | 35.3 cm / 26.4 cm | 21.2 × 14.8 cm / 37 × 18.9 cm | 2.45 kg + 2.45 kg |
The smallest case in the range and the natural choice for skirmish games, a warband, a demo box or a club night where you are taking a fraction of your collection. Small enough to carry with one hand, still built on the same aluminium frame and steel shelves as the big cases.
Shaped like a messenger bag and sized to work as airline carry-on luggage. The widest trays of any single case in the range (37 cm), which means long ranks and wide bases sit comfortably side by side.
Designed specifically around the “personal item” allowance most airlines apply to the bag that goes under the seat in front of you. Padded backpack, three accessory pockets, and 35.3 cm of usable internal height in a narrow footprint – tall models, small floor space.
The largest case A-Case makes: 56 cm tall with 54.5 cm of usable internal height, carried as a backpack. Built for full armies plus everything that goes with them. If you buy a Kane, buy extra trays with it – the height is the whole point, and three shelves will not use it.
Both airline formats in one purchase: the carry-on sized Hybrid Messenger and the personal-item sized Carrier. The set most people fly with when the whole army has to travel in the cabin.

Cases ship unassembled and go together in a few minutes with the assembly video linked on each product page. Shipping is free worldwide.
Additional trays are sold separately for every model in the Additional trays category. Trays are model-specific – Kane trays fit only the Kane, Carrier trays fit only the Carrier, and so on. Check the model name before ordering.
Colour options differ per model: Victory 2.0, Hybrid Messenger, Carrier and The Kane each have their own palette, and red is available on selected models only. Every case has a black frame regardless of the bag colour.
The steel shelves do half the work; the other half is a magnet on the base. The 5 × 2 mm neodymium magnets supplied with each case glue into or onto the underside of a standard base, and from that point the model is ready to travel in any A-Case you own – or any steel surface you park it on. Models that are already based on magnetic or steel bases work straight away, with no preparation at all.
No. A-Case uses powder-coated steel shelves and neodymium magnets instead. There is no foam to cut, no foam to replace, and no foam pressing against the details of a painted model.
It depends entirely on base size, model height and how you space the shelves – there are no fixed slots. The published tray dimensions and usable internal heights in the table above let you calculate it for your own army before you buy.
You need something ferromagnetic in the base. Each case includes 50 neodymium magnets for that purpose, and you can add up to 250 with your order. Models on steel or magnetic bases need nothing extra.
The Hybrid Messenger is sized as carry-on luggage and the Carrier as a personal item, but every airline sets its own limits – check the external dimensions in the table against your carrier’s current allowance before you fly.
No, cases ship unassembled. Each product page links to a step-by-step assembly video, plus a short guide to fitting the lock-in pins to the trays.
Yes. You can add three extra shelves when ordering, and extra trays for every model are available separately at any time.
No. Each model has its own tray dimensions and trays are not cross-compatible. Order trays that match your case.
Because A-Case holds models by magnet rather than by a pre-cut hole, one case covers every system you play – Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, Star Wars: Legion, Infinity, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Bolt Action, Malifaux, Battletech, D&D and anything else on a magnetisable base. Change army, change game, change scale: the case does not care.
