Transport box should be bundled with strap

I genuinely like the transport box, but it should be bundled with the strap. I overlooked that they were separate purchase when I made my order. I’ll definitely be buying one in the future, but you should definitely add a bundled option of the strap and the box.

These are amazing!

I love these pads. I’ve magnetized a Warhammer army for storage, and while it’s convenient for transport, having magnets under the models has led to some issues during game play (them sticking to metal on the board, or to other magnetized models). Having a pad that will stick to a magnet but is not in itself magnetic is fantastic!

Patience Required

Excellent piece of kit, but definitely needs a little patience with assembly. I was too heavy handed and snapped a couple of corners.

Wish I had double check med the shipping charges before ordering too: ouch!

2” & 4” humpback case

I enjoy my purchase of the Humpback cases immensely. The assembly was intuitive and easy. My 4” case suffered some minor damage in shipping, but the design is such that it still feels incredibly sturdy. And I love that my minis aren’t hidden away.

Very cool solution

Definitely the best storage and display combo I’ve seen to date. Once I figured out assembly, it came together like a breeze, and it is great to be able to display and transport flexibly. It is a little too deep for my liking, so it’s hard to see anything in back rows, but highest quality product, presentation and customer service. Proud owner!

Great Prdouct!

I had been looking at this for a while and finally decided to buy. I am super happy with my purchase. It was easy to assemble and really makes storing my models easy and looks great.

Better than expected — premium quality

This bundle is better than I expected — excellent quality and a very premium look. Assembly was genuinely enjoyable, and the finished display feels solid and looks amazing. It’s the perfect home for my Tyranids and Space Marines, and I’ll definitely order more.

The only downside was the packaging. Since the parcel was delivered to Ukraine via a forwarding service, it likely went through extra handling — and the boxes didn’t survive the trip from the US and started coming apart. Thankfully, the display case itself arrived intact. I think the issue was too much empty space in both the inner black box and the outer box, so the parts could move around during transit. Stronger padding or tighter packing would make it perfect.

Great Product. A Bit Pricey.

I really like the assembled product. A bit pricey for storing miniatures, but they do look great! The included instructions were not super helpful, but I figured it out after a bit of tinkering. Would love to add some more cubes to the collection when I have some spare cash.

Great Product

I am extremely pleased with the product and would definitely purchase again. Exceeded my expectations.

Love the product but I feel like it’s quite prone to having small parts break off during assembly

Awesome

good spacing for displaying minis love them

Great!!

Love the iron sheets super strong hold

Great

good product but I prefer the iron sheets for the boxes thanks

Good

Too expensive but same as the base nice and clear should be sold as a set as well

Looks good for displays

Plenty of space nice and clear a bit to expensive when you add in the cover

Great product and customer service

Huge fan of these. Had these for about 6 months. They are crystal clear. Assembling them definitely has a bit of a learning curve, but once I got the trick they went together reasonably well. With my order I had a missing piece, but I contacted support and they sent me a replacement right away. Definitely getting more from them!

Great to support

Even though I didn’t need much, my order arrived quickly. These are exactly what I’ve been looking for the past year.

Super clea !

Amazing product.

Great system

I wanted to try out the new Humpack Case and it definitely did not disappoint. Stores a ton of miniatures and helps me reclaim shelf space! Easy to build / assembly. Definitely recommend.

Essential for Protecting Miniatures during transport

I recently moved from Washington State to North Carolina and purchased several bundles of earth magnets and the large metal sheets. I can happily say that all my miniatures and my cases made it to my house free of damage. These magnets were strong enough to keep the miniatures from moving around in the cases and despite the movers doing everything possible(they stuck the cases in the box on their side!!) the miniatures stuck to the sheets and took no damage. First move I've had where my minis didn't require a glue and paint fix after moving. I'm planning on buying the magnets and sheets for every miniature I own.

Exactly what I Needed!!

I have two larger GW miniatures and I wanted to be able to display them. This display cover made it possible to proudly display both while protecting them from dust. I have a couple projects I'm working on and I will be purchasing more of these in the future.

Fixed product issue

My orca case arrived missing the base. I asked for a replacement and customer service was able to make that happen for me. Would purchase from again.

Looks like one of Big Red’s drones dropped the ball — or in this case, the base. No worries though, because the Chief Engineer has already deployed a replacement that’s on its way to you now. Sometimes mistakes happen, but the Crystal Fortress always has you covered (literally!).

The way I always wanted to see my miniatures

I've had so many different miniature carriers over the years and this is the first one that satisfies all of the needs for protection, display and organization. I like being able to have a display of just my WH40K combat patrol within my broader army, being able to display my command characters and just change it up for what I want to see. Overall, just fantastic. Now that I've built one, I know how to do more of them (regrettably, I also managed to break a section when, in my enthusiasm to assemble a tray, I put it together before putting down the layouts and managed to crack some bits when I took it apart (completely my fault). However, the design of the case is so good, it's neither noticeable nor impacts the functions. Really great product!

Joe!
At last — the carrier worthy of your warriors. Hearing that the Transport Box nails protection, display, and organization in one go is music to Big Red’s ears (and his oversized shoulder pads). We love that you can spotlight your patrols and heroes however the battle demands.

Finally found the ONE!!

My husband’s little guys were sitting on our shoe shelves for months, worried about dust sitting on it before he even paints them. I researched for days and weeks, and I finally found crystal fortress. Seriously I cannot be happier with the result. Also assembling process was so much fun for me, I want to buy more so I can build more. Hahaha!!

Eileen!
Dust never stood a chance. Your husband’s minis are safe inside the Humpback, and you unlocked the real secret of Crystal Fortress: assembly is as fun as the display. We can’t wait to see those little heroes when they’re painted — rally the army on Instagram with #CrystalFortress so Big Red can salute them properly.

Stay shiny,
Big Red & the Fortress Crew
