Looking really good already. If you don't mind my asking, how many hours have you put into this project so far?

Not sure. Probably in the range of 10-15 though?

Couldn't wait until it was finished... I just had to see the army in the cabinet (and figured you all might too). I think they look pretty good!

For the record, the Dark Wolves consist of:
2 Wolf Lords on Thunderwolves
2 Iron Priests on Thunderwolves
8 Cyberwolves
7 Thunderwolves
6 Wolf Guard on Bikes
20 Fenrisian Wolves
1 Murderfang
1 Drop Pod
5 Wulfen
1 Land Raider Crusader
1 Imperial Knight

It all fits!

Sick stuff dude, really awesome.

Looking awesome dude.

Brilliant ! And I find impressive how you even managed to fit up to the knight inside, while keeping a natural flow to the scenery !

Amazing work dude. These cabinet builds you do are absolutely awe-inspiring.

JeffyP, I think chaos/dark mechanicus and orks call to all of us equally. I myself swing between my brotherhood of steal and my dark mech.

I love your cabinets. I myself have always been trying to solve the problem of easy storage while looking good. I'll have to keep in mind your idea of a display. I assume your built even the outside drawer from scratch? Because your pictures only showed the modding inside.

Lastly, back to your orks. I know people have used the name before, but what do you think of the Red Orktober?

Definitely watching this thread with great interest...

That cabinet is so awesome, really fantastic idea and execution is perfect.

Thanks for all the great feedback, guys! I really appreciate it.

Thanks! The Imperial Knight and the Land Raider gave me fits while trying to plan the layout. There's a lot of wasted vertical space on the second level but it also gave me an opportunity to use the cool 40k terrain pieces which are really tall.

You're right about that, Kakita. Chaos and Orks are just the best. THE BEST I TELL YOU!
Yes, the cabinets themselves are built from scratch. I think I posted some more in depth build pictures for the first one several pages back.
"Red Orktober" is a great name for my final battlewagon, which will be a submarine theme. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions!

Ok... I saw the interior build but I don't rem seeing the external construction. It probably was the awesomeness and me scrolling through an entire thread in a period of 30-60 min that caused me to miss it.

I'm doing a modular AOP (that may eventually end up being my kill team board) as my space saving thing, but the idea of a display drawer or box will definitely be on my list of future projects.

Heck yeah, man! Make one of your own. I love my Chaos Wild Crusade cabinet. It's on the wall in my basement/hobby area. The great thing about it is that it puts the models in sight all the time (rather than stored in some box or foam).

Jeffy!

That display case is beyond description.

How much did it set you back? I need to mimic this immediately! Excellent work mate, can't wait to see it finished

P.s. I'm redoing my thread so that's why i've been a bit covert lately.. You'll like the new stuff

Holy goddamn awesomeness!

I've missed your posts on here, Thunder. Get on it! As far as the cost goes, it's hard to say. I purchased a few model kits for the city terrain, plus the foam, wood, glue, sand, etc. Maybe $250 total?

Haha thanks! Please keep coming back for more.

Got some paint slapped on. Getting close to adding snow and ice!

Painting looks great dude. Now you're going to add snow and ice?! I'm so excited to see how this turns out.

Well, it's almost done. Just need to pick out a few details and hang the door. I think the ice and snow turned out great and blends into the models bases pretty well. Hope you like it!

Loving it!

That looks absolutely amazing dude! I don't know what you do for a living but you should totally quit your job and make these things full time. I'd definitely buy a few for my armies

Absolutely amazing work. Really beautiful piece of art. So inspirational. Brilliant.

Been following this build with excitement and all I can say is that's it's absolutely brilliant!

Looking amazing. The snow and ice are brilliant.

Thanks, everybody! Really glad you all like it. Hopefully I can get the acryllic door cut and hung on soon. Pictures to follow!

Hey, thanks man. I'm actually an attorney if you can believe it. Picked up 40k as a hobby during law school and haven't been able to quit! Though I'm more of a hobbyist/builder than a player now.

Oh wow that's quite the profession, grats on being able to play 40k and get through school, that sounds like a crazy workload.

Well I suppose I won't blame you then if you don't decide to quit your job to build these full time.

Thanks man. 40k is an amazing hobby and a pretty fun game too! I just wish I could play at the FLGS more often.

Looking forward to seeing more of your Dark Eldar!

Aww dude you're gunna make me blush

Fingers crossed that 2017 is a good year for you for getting more games in and I can't wait to see what project you work on next.

That is a cool ass project, and right in my back yard. Good to see some talent in the area.

Thanks! Where-abouts are you and do you play often?

Massillon, and hardly ever. The two lgs I used to go to were either super competitive or became a mostly card shop.
