yeah,
Just showing off my new WarRoom... I've been packed away for about a year trying to buy a house, I've moved home three times in the last 14 months! Two months ago I finally managed to complete a sale. And with the War Room perk it now seems like it was all worth while! It's a modest size at only 11' x 10'

Furniture is all IKEA
Each side of the room has shelves 5x5 1'cubes and makes for great terrain and bits storage.
3 Display Cabinets hold most of my guys. The board sits ontop of a 3x4 table.
I just have a few minor finishing touches to do... I've got new spot lights and blinds to put up...

At the back of the room is a 2'x8' work bench.
This will mostly be used as a paint and build station... I set it to the same hight as the 6x4 board so that I can extend the game area a extra 2' if needed.
Making this 8x4 area.

I Love it... must play more!!

Nice display cases!

**Imperial Monkey**

sweet. Jealous much!

Ian was telling me about this the other day. It looks just as awesome as he described it.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to play some of the current Marine/Eldar campaign in there.

**sgierlinger**

I see you said the cases are from ikea could you link to them by chance?

I want somthing like that!

**Le Grognard**

Nice. Very envious.

**Panic**

yeah,
IKEA Links:

Cabinet £60 plus spot lights £15
this is sold as a cd shelf. The lights are extra and a bit of a pain to install and not really needed. plus I wouldn't place minis in the top space now as the lights get warm. I'm actually thinking about removing the lights.

Expedit Bookcase £130

I picked up the work bench in the discount area for £25 plus it's legs £7 each - the total was £53

I also got these wire hung spot lights to replace the ceiling lights. Three will point at the board and two at the desk.

Panic.

**GMMStudios**

Did you buy the Ikea stuff online or do you have a store nearby (Ikea noob)

I am getting a basement in ONE WEEK baby cant wait...but I do need shelves. Was going to wait until I moved but these would work.

EDIT: Nevermind they dont even sell these online so its a non issue.

**vinbreau**

Excellent. Looks great!

**Alpharius**

I am green with Envy.

We're talking Hulk levels of green here!

Argh!

VERY nice!

**OoieGoie**

How did you get the wife to agree to that?

Seriously, they have to own everything. hahaha.

You did a great job. Wish I could afford to do that.

**loranafaeriequeen**

You've given me inspiration to redo my computer room. That is seriously awesome.

**acastonguay**

What a great war room!!! I want this...

**cormz**

that is BADASS

**Little lord Fauntleroy**

Panic, can I come and crash with you for about 10-12 years?

We're both Pestilent plague marines with a blight grenade, after all!

**Karon**

I tell you man, nothing beats the Swedish furniture that is IKEA.

**jetjetex**

Dude,you are so freaking lucky.

I have one of those sitting not even 3 feet away from my computer. Got it when I moved into my new place. Quite a good piece of furniture. Holds all my DVD's, books, 40K books, and I bought five of those tubs that slot into them and put them all along the bottom row - they're storing all my PC games.

**skyth**

I'd like closed glass display cases for my dude room...Don't want to spend the $$$ for them though :(

**Reecius**

Color me jealous! That is big pimpin there, my friend! I will have a dedicated game room one of these days, myself.

Nice one though, that is really cool.

**Gymnogyps**

<3 Awesomeness. We already have Ikea in the basement for model storage, so this should be an excellent sales brochure for re-purposing the spare bedroom.

**Druidic**

Fantastic job! You have every right to feel damn proud!

Have been looking at the glass cases in Ikea for a while, but keep resisting. They just started doing a glass door which fits over 2 cd display cases however, so thinking that could be an easier buy as get the shelves, then get the doors next month!

I think there are pics of games workshed on my gallery.

**RandomX**

You could also look into Detolf cabinets. I hve one here in the states. Little bit cheaper, little bit bigger, all glass.

I have one here in the states, its pretty nice.

**malfred**

I like both cabinets, but I wouldn't have the space for the Detolf. And if I could
design my own cabinets, they'd have smaller spacing so I could have more shelves
and the shelves would be more shallow like those wall units to let more light in.

**Panic**

yeah,
The wall mounted BERTBY cabinets that I've got have adjustable shelf height, but I spaced the nine shelves out evenly. Once I start building my warhound that will mean moving two or three shelves.

I guess you could make extra shelves to cram more stuff in there.

Panic...

**Fizzics**

Wow. That is pretty sweet.

**Norsehawk**

I've also thought of getting some stuff from Ikea. I'm leaning towards the Billy bookshelves with the Byom doors.

**Casper**

Nice place. I've been looking for a way to display my minis and this thread just answered my question.

**alarmingrick**

Beautiful!! great looking "mancave", as my wife would say!
