As hip and stylish as my towel in a box transportation routine is, I figure I'm deep enough into this hobby that it's time to invest in a carrying bag. I'm looking at the Battlefoam standard loadout Warmachine bag and though I don't think I'll have difficulty getting my Cygnar and Mercs in there (save DJ Thunderhead), I'm curious, do the Gatormen Posse (and others) fit fine in there?
Appreciate any advice anyone can give.

your gatormen and wrastlers are gonna have an awkward time fitting in the battlefoam bag with the pre-plucked rectangles. Its not impossible to get them in there but i dont think its the most ideal carrying case for us gators. I got the standard battlefoam where I can pluck it all myself and that works just fine for me...even though I dont have the fancy Warmachine/Hordes logo.

Hmm, so maybe the Pack 720 instead?

You can get the spangly Logos filled with pluckfoam. There is an option on their website.

Aha, thanks. Will look into that route then. A little cheaper, too.

I've got 90% of both my Khador and Gator models in my 720. I'll have all of them once I finish redoing the Jack trays into one of the 3" that came with the bag.

I have a Hordes bag and all my gators fit just fine. Then again I bent all the tails on the posse to the right a bit so they wouldn't stick so far off their bases. Those are the only models that could possible have a problem IMO. Even the Thrullg and TH fit fine.

also standard comes with 3 infantry trays and 2 medium trays and 2 heavy trays - go custom and swap 2 of the infantry for another medium. all the important things are mediums, and we only have one small based unit, and 5 small base solos (includes gobbers as solos). The infantry tray holds 30 infantry so even with 2 full units of bog troggs a single tray is MORE than enough, but you will eventually be pressed for medium trays with 2 units of posse, 2 casters, wrong eye, totem hunter, feral geists, snappers, ect. And i doubt were going to be getting to many more small based units...

Actually the standard comes with 3 small based trays, 1 medium based tray and 2 large based trays. I swapped one small based tray for a medium and it works out fine. You won't be able to put anything on top of the models when you zip it up but it does fit without compressing the trays.

I have the Warmachine bag in standard load. The Gatormen fit just fine in the medium trays.

ah must have miscounted mine, was going from memory. Either way, less small tray, more medium (for now possibly less large as well for more medium, do we really need 2 large trays for 2 wrastlers, a spitter and snapjaw?)

Thanks for all the input, peeps. Still trying to figure out the best way to proceed, since I also own a lot of Cygnar and Mercs and want to be able to pack a decent selection from all in one bag. Good to know the posse fit though.
Doing a quick model count, I own 217 small figures, 26 medium base and 15 large base. With the standard Warmachine bag load-out holding 105 small, 22 medium and 24 large base figures, I better stick with that (or start leaving Alexia and her entourage of 23 figures at home). The pluck foam deal is more centered on the larger foam, too, so either standard load or a small infantry custom selection will be key. Awkward models like DJ Thunderhead, Rowdy, the monstrous stormblade standard bearer and Thor will be tough to place.

I have 3 wrasterls and 2 spitters, all of them fit perfectly in large pre-cut foam slots.
