Great magnets all around

I typically get my magnets from another site, but these ones work very good with the iron sheets and the circle sheet disk magents as well. They are very strong so I recommend them for the bases and not actual models.

Very Good Magnets for clear cases

Nice cut sheet magnets that are great for clear cases. The have sticky backs that work very well and do not peel up from the opposing connections.

Good layout for box set and terminators for SM armies

Good layout for box set and terminators for SM armies. Highley recommend for DA players who have a lot of deathwing.

Fantastic for Star Wars Armada!

These cases are perfect for storing your small size Star Wars Armada ships along sidr some squadrons!

New 28.5mm and new premium set

I actually asked about 28.5mm options a while back and got a very exciting response about this coming soon, and I am very happy with what was delivered. Along with the premium/no handle case, it looks excellent and will look even better with painted space squats, soon :)

Corey, you inspired Big Red, and he made it happen!

New Case Style - Perfect for tiny hordes

Figured I would try the no handle style out to fit a few hordes of 25 and 28.5mm plastic soldier, and it did not disappoint. The case is still quite rigid without the handle, and as always crystal clear, now with an unobstructed view of the entire little horde!

Oh yeah! Let everyone see that beautiful horde!!!

A+ idea, C for execution

Like others have said, this idea is great. I love less waste in the product. However the slits in the box do not fit the buckles. You need to cut them wider and taller to get this mounted.

I'd like to see this added to the acrylic itself, if possible. The boxes have a cover option already, so the cardboard isn't really adding anything if you pick it up. You can still cut the cardboard for those who don't want the acrylic cover, but adding in a slot into the covers and tracks for the bottoms would be great for keeping things together and transportable.

Thanks for the feedback!

Solid little magnets

There's not too much to say other than these are legitimate N52 strength and just about the perfect size and hold for your average 28mm scale miniature. I had a tendency to go with larger magnets beforehand, but I'll stick with these for any 28mm (ish) infantry from now on! They fit perfectly with the troop magnets without sticking up, too.

They stick and minis stick to them!

What can I say, they stick well to the case, magnets stick to 'em, they do what they're supposed to. I combined them with layout layers, but I reckon you could free hand them quite well if you trust your spacing, because once they are on they stay on!

Functionally they are slightly thicker than third party "magnet ready" vinyl sheets I have compared these targets to, so don't go overboard with really thick magnets on the mini base. They stick well to the base and magnets stick well to them without sticking _too_ well and leaving the mini's base.

Perfect for quickly moving armies!

I have a bunch of armies for various games, Being able to just swap these cubes in and out easilychuck a storage pod of dice and such on top and be ready to go in a few seconds in a real gamechanger!

Mcp and more

Humpback bundle. Each half holds exactly what is needed for an mcp roster. 4” is a must! Will buy more for 40K

Excellent

Numbers are easy to read with no strange symbols, and have a good heft to them. Product is exactly as advertised. Great experience and overall recommended.

Great display and transport

It's great to have if you have alot of space to store and display your mini's

Nightmare to assemble

The regular 2 " ond was hard enough to build but the 4" is actually impossible to build without breaking it.
Don't recommend. Do not buy

M.I. Please reach out to customer support and we will take care of you!

Not bad.

Pretty good. Don't like the patten number on top. Kinda takes away from it but will see how it holds up

Love these cases

Love the crystal fortress! I’ve bought several cases now and probably will be my only miniatures holder.

The opposite of no-stick pan technology

I've got a couple of Orca cases that I use to transport my Bolt Action army to my friend's house on occasion, taking advantage of the strap that makes the box into a carry case. I drop it in a simple tote bag with a few extra bits and bobs for gametime (rulebook, dice, and those always pesky pin markers) and off I go.

Pro Tip: Don't leave a tote bag on the floor if you own cats.

Pro Tip #2: If you do leave a tote bag with your Orca cases full of painted minis on the floor, make sure you're using these troop targets and magnets. When one of my cats finally managed to tip the tote over with my army inside, *ONE* miniature out of lot "fell" from it's appointed place. Don't worry, Big Red! It wasn't a failure on the part of the case! It was one of three miniatures on a "team" base. The team base was magnetized and sticking to a troop target like a champ. I failed to properly seat the mini in the team base. The good news: No paint jobs were harmed in the feline free-for-all!

The collection goes ever on and on

I have been working furiously painting my Pile of Opportunity for the last couple of years and I've got quite a way to go still. The Humpback Fortress Cube is a pretty easy choice for adding a lot of storage at once. I've just put #4 together and the minis that have been waiting in foam trays and dark boxes cheered with delight when I started making room on the shelf. Next step is to take some time off so I can reorganize. RPG and wargaming minis that get used a lot over here. My better-than-tabletop paint jobs over there...

It's a crazy, fun hobby and this is a great way to share a collection.

Beautiful display case

It is a wonderful display case that truly minimizes the amount of space that your collection takes up. It has a large capacity for holding all of your beautifully painted models. The case is clear and probably one of the best on the market.

Perfectly sized and easy to use

Excellent product and looks great

Absolutely worth it!

I cleaned my case with this on day one. It worked super well to remove dirt, dust, and scuffs off of the clear plastic. It was very effective.

Love 'em

I use mine with a 5" rotating base to display my model in 360 degrees. The plastic is absolutely clear, and it feels sturdy. The assembly was enjoyable. Plus, my order came in record time (all the way to Australia). I ordered much more once I was confident with this product and the company.

Great case. Fragile material

Happy with the products but breaks easy. The Corner snaps off and fling acrylic plastic at my eyes. So be careful

Thomas,

Thanks for the review! Please reach out to us so we can get you brand new parts for your case. We designed Crystal Fortress to allow you to replace parts if they break or get scratched. Please be sure to take a look at the assembly videos to help guide you through the build process.

Great case great customer service

I had a special deadline to meet and the customer service team quickly got my order processed and shipped to me.

Snap* Snap* Big Red got all the drones in line working fast to get your order out! Thanks for the review!!

Just amazing

I've been painting minis for roughly 4 years now, could never find the right product to hold and display them. Found Crystal Fortress and couldn't be any happier.

Assembly was easy, customer support has been genuinely incredible, I got a hand written and signed thank you letter with my package, and the case is beautiful and durable.

Honestly, more companies need to have a little bit of crystal fortress in them.

I have one full army in my case, going to need another for my custodes.

Haha! Love it!!! The line 'Honestly, more companies need to have a little bit of crystal fortress in them.', put a huge smile on Big Red's faceplate. Thanks for the great review.
