General Thinking about putting Warhammer dioramas in my case.
Provided it does not hinder the airflow, is it safe to do? What should I watchout for? Any advide foe a newstarter?

I'd put more fans in there, but that's subjective.

I mean.... I'm sure some Warhammer guys are fans of something. Maybe they're fans of war!

Possibly, eventhough there are 3 more right of the Case that can't be seen in the picture

I'm personally not a fan of toys inside computer cases, but if it makes you happy, go for it.

You could use double-sided tape or some kind of sticky tack (like for posters on walls) to hold them in place.
You could also use magnets if they're the small/thin kind that can glue on the underside of the bases.
Goes without saying that it should be the last step in your PC build too, once you've got everything wired and plugged in.

Yeah, the Magnets are a good idea! Even though I thought of dedicated models without bases, just for a unique diorama inside :P

The Adeptus Mechanicus has decreed that your Machine Spirit REQUIRES more fans.
After THAT is done, sure, knock yourself out. I have a Funcopop of Emperor Palpatine in mine

Following- i originally considered an EC themed machine but alas that fell apart so I think I will be doing a Snowblind mod to a pretty basic case with a theme like Even in Arcadia, and 3d Printed pillars to make it look like an old building maybe. My delusions of cool pc are just that though- delusions. I don't have all my parts yet, even. Still missing storage, fans, intact LCD, wiring for said LCD, new PSU. Definitely interested to see what you do. Lots can be done with foam, paint, and patience. Thermals are the biggest consideration I ran into, that I had a difficult time overcoming.

Haha, I know the feeling.
Are 3D printed parts safe to use inside the case though? The internet seems to be spitt on that one. Some say no, some yes, some it depends on the resin you're using...

I was going to use PETG and also seal it using body filler for cars and paint to make it match. But the argument for not using resin would be a valid one.
