Insane 40K Computer Casemod

Emperor be praised! Holy Machine God! Priests of Mars, eat your steam-powered hearts out! Via Kotaku (by way of DudeCraft) comes this unreal Warhammer 40,000 Dreadnought casemod — yes, there’s a PC in there somewhere. I love the way the assault cannon actually spins up. In the future there are only incredible case mods

Impressive WH40K LARP prop set

The idea of “live-action” Warhammer 40K is, itself, so ambitious that somebody needs to give this guy and his buddies a medal just for trying.
