Review of the Battlefoam Spear Bag

Side view of the Bag

In the midst of preparing for a move I decided it was time to invest in a new travel bag for my Warhammer collection.  I went to Strategies Games and Hobbies on main street my local store for almost 3 years to see what they had. After looking through the spear bag it offered exactly what I was looking for. It doesn't look as cool as the new generation of Battlefoam bags but it meets all my needs for the right price. It was $144 completely loaded with foam. It comes with:


  • Two Troops Trays.
  • 1 Medium model tray
  • 3 inch pick and pluck foam.
  • 4 inch pick and pluck foam.
  • 2 foam toppers
Medium Model Tray 
3 Inch Pick and Pluck



I spent around an hour rearranging the bag with foam I already owned to be the perfect layout for my new night lords army. The model count on this army is pretty low but everything is awkward in size and shape. With 14 inches of height to work with you can really make sure your models have the space they need without packing stuff together too tightly. In the case I got:

·         Two land raiders.
·         2 Vindicator battle tanks
·         1 rhino
·         10 raptors with custom 32mm bases (Making them almost 3 inches tall)
·         10 terminators on 40 mm bases
·         14 Chaos space marine models on 32 mm bases
·         Miscellaneous models from the move.

I could have gotten more in but the point of buying a new bag with new foam is to make sure nothing breaks. This bag also has great features. It has a massive book sleeve on the front capable of holding 2 hardback codex and a rulebook. I'm sure you could get an IPad in there as well.

 It also has a nice pocket on the top that would be perfect for games workshop objective cards and a flat dice tin. It has a nice carry handle and shoulder strap. It is also a wheelie bag which is great for longer trips. My only real critique so far is that I wish it had small pockets on the sides for dice boxes and tape measures.



Thanks for reading.
