Portable Warfare (Blü Foam and The Sergeant)

There's quite a few options out there today when it comes to miniature model transports for wargaming. The latest company to step up to the plate with a carrying case is Portable Warfare. They're a new small company, which operates from the Sunshine State, Florida.

Portable Warfare offers different options for your miniatures cases load out of Blü foam as well as the ability to purchase individual pieces of Blü foam to fully customize your miniature storage needs.

Proudly manufactured in the USA, Blü is on its way to becoming the standard, not the alternative, in the realm of Miniature Storage and Transport! The unique basing materials from which the product gets its name, was selected for its ability to be both giving and rigid. Each 7.5” x 13” piece is die-cut with 1/2” pull-and-pluck foam. With their smoothly rounded corners, the trays are designed to fit into most commonly used miniature transport systems.  I purchased the 2" thick version for use with the majority of all of my miniatures.







The second item that I purchased from Portable Warfare is the Sergeant case.  It is made from a durable nylon material, comes with two front pockets secured with velco, a zippered front pocket to hold up to two full sized hardback rule books or several magazines and soft cover rule books, two side drink holders, and a dual zipped top that zips all the way down the back for easy and quick access to all your foam trays inside.


The Sergeant specifications include an 8" x 8" velcro front pocket,  4" x 8" velcro front pocket, 2 side drink holders, Cargo Net in the back, Bag Dimensions 12"H x 13"W x 7.5"D, Removable Strap, Stacking clasps on top and bottom.

Overall as my first army/fleet transport case that I purchased it worked out rather well.  The only downside with this case is that it does not have hardsides.  I have not had any issues with it as I am always careful with my miniatures, however I don't know how I would fair on airplane.  The Blü foam trays are awesome, I really love them over many of their competitors.  Albiet I do have many reservations about taking it on a journey other than to and from my friends houses to game i.e. Airplane....  Below is what mine looks like in detail.

Here we have three (3) 2" trays in the bag, I can put a total of 5 in it safely.


There is a large pocket on the back to hold your books.  I don't use it that much really.
