Does anybody have an opinion on the modular movement trays GW has put out? I'm playing a pony heavy WoC army and am in dire need of movement trays.

You can make them as big or as small as you like. You need a really sharp knife and patience to score the parts and get through the rim pieces. They work, they just take work.

I think it'd be a good idea to use these trays. You'll be able to customise the shapes of the movement trays for the particular units.
You think running with scissors is dangerous? Try sky diving with them!

Personally I make my own trays from sheet plastic and bass wood strips.

I place the models on the sheet plastic (styrene mostly but I have used plexiglass because I have a bunch in the garage) and mark around the bases. Glue the bass wood strips (I've even used styrene and balsa because I had it siting around) to the outside of the markings. after the glue dries paint and base.
I even used foamboard, styrene and basswood to make a base for my Goblin Hewer.

I've just put together a few for a Dwarf army I'm building. I like them a lot.

Cool, but I'll still build my own.
