Famard Clear Acrylic Miniature Storage Case, Miniatures Carrying Case with 6 Magnetic Metal Trays, Compatible with Warhammer 40k Review (2026)

Solid acrylic construction

Famard builds this case from clear acrylic panels that the manufacturer lists at 8mm thick on the sides, which is a notably solid build compared with thinner acrylic storage cases, and the panels give full visibility of a painted army from every angle without opening the case. The case closes with a protective door fitted with a snap closure, and it includes a carrying handle sized for regular transport to game nights or tournaments rather than only occasional storage at home. That extra panel thickness is a meaningful difference from thinner budget acrylic cases, which are more prone to cracking at the corners if the case is set down hard or bumped during travel between games.

Six repositionable magnetic trays

Inside, the case holds 6 removable metal trays that can be repositioned to customize the internal layout around a specific collection, and the trays work by holding magnetized miniature bases in place through the metal surface. Famard states the trays and case are compatible with a range of tabletop games beyond just Warhammer 40k, including listed compatibility with Dungeons and Dragons, Battletech and other miniature-based games, which broadens the case's usefulness for anyone who collects across more than one game system. Being able to pull individual trays out and rearrange them also makes it easier to pack a specific army list for a given game night rather than hauling the entire collection every time.

Assembly and what is not included

Famard notes that some manual assembly is required, and the case ships with a screwdriver and other small hardware needed to put it together, which is a detail worth knowing before opening the box expecting a fully assembled case. As with comparable magnetic cases on the market, Famard is explicit that magnets and miniatures are not included, only the metal trays themselves, so the case is not ready to transport an army until magnets have been sourced separately and fixed to each model's base. Setting aside time for both the case assembly and the magnetizing work before a first tournament or game night avoids a last-minute scramble to get an army transport-ready.

A matching backpack option

Famard also sells a version of this storage system bundled with or paired to a dedicated backpack, letting the acrylic case slot into a purpose-built carrying bag rather than being carried loose by its handle or packed into a generic bag. For painters who regularly travel to a game store or tournament venue, that backpack pairing is a meaningful upgrade over carrying the acrylic case unprotected, since a bag adds padding and reduces the risk of a drop cracking one of the acrylic panels. Anyone who expects to carry this case often, rather than mostly leaving it at home, should weigh the backpack option against this base listing before deciding which to buy.

Bottom line

This Famard case delivers a sturdy, thick-walled acrylic storage solution with repositionable magnetic trays and broad game-system compatibility, plus the option to add a matching backpack for transport. It requires some assembly out of the box and, like similar magnetic cases, needs magnets purchased and applied separately before it holds anything, so it suits painters who have already magnetized their army or are prepared to do that work rather than someone wanting an instantly ready case. The thicker acrylic and cross-game compatibility make it a reasonable long-term pick for anyone building a collection across more than one tabletop system.
