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 | 2 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 (22.05″ × 15.55″ × 9.45″) | 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.
A shoulder bag with 37 cm-wide shelves for layouts that need horizontal space. Its dimensions are designed around common cabin-baggage formats, but acceptance depends on the airline and ticket. Check the fully packed bag’s dimensions and weight against your current allowance before flying.
A compact, padded backpack with three accessory pockets and 35.3 cm of usable internal height. Compare its shelf footprint and internal dimensions with your models. For air travel, check the bag’s complete external dimensions, including filled pockets, and its packed weight against your airline’s current allowance.
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.
Carrier and Hybrid Messenger in one set, so you can divide your miniatures and accessories between a backpack and a shoulder bag. If you plan to take both on a flight, check the number of bags permitted as well as each bag’s size and packed weight.
Cases ship unassembled and go together in a few minutes with the assembly video linked on each product page. Shipping methods and any charges are shown at checkout for your destination.
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.
A-Case shelves are made of steel. To hold a miniature in place, fit suitable magnets beneath its base and check that both the glue bond and magnetic hold are secure. Each case includes 50 neodymium magnets measuring 5 × 2 mm. Choose the number and strength of magnets to suit the model’s weight and base, and test the arrangement before travelling.
Models with securely fitted, suitable magnets may already be ready to use. A plain steel base will not attach magnetically to a steel shelf on its own.
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.
Yes, your models need suitable magnets or another tested magnetic fixing beneath their bases. Each case includes 50 neodymium magnets. A plain steel base alone will not stick to a steel shelf. Check the fixing and holding force for each model before transport.
Check your airline’s current size, weight and bag-count limits for your ticket and route. Measure the complete packed bag, including filled pockets and projecting parts. Acceptance as cabin baggage or a personal item is not guaranteed for every airline.
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.
