ASTARTES

AD:
I present Project Astartes, a Warhammer 40,000 themed build.
I took and old Thermaltake V21 case and turned it into a Monastery for Sanguinius, and I have to say, I think he'd be proud.
I learned SO MUCH from painting the minis that it translated well to the case itself. Lemme just say, slap-chopping works.
From building entirely new door panels to making my very first dice tray from leather, felt, and steel(which can be removed to reveal a window), I doubt I'll be able to top this one any time soon, even when compared to my recent stuff.
- every brick was cut by hand
- i used citadel paints for all of it. very expensive.
- hand-painted all the marines and tyrannids, which when i sell the case, will go with it.
- the front panel was flipped to make the 200mm fan blow directly on the motherboard.
- it disassembles in 3 minutes.
