Well these are the first of a smallish army of space marines i am making that i am dubbing the crunk marines. They are the stealthy troops from a otherwise loud and obnoxious group. They will cruise with my tigerstripe tank.
Later i will post updates and the other troops in the crunk marines as i do them. I am in the first stages of painting these guys so at the moment don't expect anything real spectacular right away.




Oh and my power staff and boombox pack.


Comments/critizism/tips welcome!

Oooh greenstuffed staff. Are you priming that in white? I'd like to see it in stages, primed/in progress/finished.

Yep! You can count on me to post the steps!

chapter master john, YAAAAYAH CRUNK haha ur giving him the chalice of crunk and the flamers of crunk juice ignited awesome idea waiting for updates

Thanks! I am waiting on an order of bitz to make my leader of crunkedness so check again soon!

Well i decided the veteran needed to fit in better so i gsed him up and added a cloak. its not done yet but i'm workin on it.

it's good to fit in sometimes as you don't want him to be lonely

Dang right!

There the cloak is finished. he got the fur collor since he is the veteran in the squad and i had extra greenstuff.

baggy track suit, pimp fur and pimp hats and pimp canes and wonderland sticks, there some crunk ideas :L keep it comming

A terminator sergant i am going to make and a ammo carrier for him. I wanted the termanator to look super blinged out since he is crunk, and to look like hes a bad motha that you don't mess with.

Im really liking the idea of this army, one of your chaplains or captains needs to have a pimp hat.

I am going to have my scouts in pimp hats and coats. I am also thinking of making a few women in the army. Not sure what they would be yet though.

I don't know what I like better, The figures or the drawings. I see golden daemon material. I don't know if SoB would make the Ho's. They have static poses. What ever you use ;converted marines or sisters, I am certian that they would turn out wonderful.

Thank you! If only i could keep enough ambition up to finish 1 project and not get distracted by the next "great idea of mine". I still have to paint the 6 marines i have and the tigerstripe tank(although i may repaint it. i'm not sure yet).

Haha that's hilarious. You should have a Rhino with Underlights

Dont forget to give one marine a huge '$' chain

Maybe give a marine one of those multifinger rings that says "Playa" or "Pimp" or "Daddy", etc...

Also: Jackson-Esque platform boots

Accually i was thinking about giving my hq tank neons and speakers, but i am not the greatest at wiring ever. i am good, but not at such small things, and then i would have to have aspot cut out as a panel to replase batteries.

Also i think i will add those other things! good ideas! any other ideas you guys have are great. BTW i think i am going to give one of them an afro.

looking forward to see more models.

This concept is hilarious! I'll be watching this thread with keen interest.

Love your concept, the idea of the belt-covered ammo carrier is hilarious. From the quality of the conversions and painting you've already shown us I anticipate this being a very impressive project, indeed.

On a somewhat related note, you draw very well.

I really hope that that tigerstripe tank is siberian tiger interior.

I had the same problem with my Anubis Mask lighting.
I started to use Glow Sticks, just make a way for them "Hang" under the front and rear and you can use the small ones.
This will also allow you to change the colors easy.

Servitors?

This is really creative and I like it. the 14 and pimp glass is cool and having some marines covered in bling and ammo belts would be awesome. Definably wana see what some marines in pimp hats look like.

It will be fixed. i just got him and put him together basicly. I only work on it every other week since my stuff is at my dads.

One of your marines needs a zebra-stripe Cat in the Hat style top hat

metallifan wrote:One of your marines needs a zebra-stripe Cat in the Hat style top hat

LOLZ can do.

i am really intrigued to see how this turns out

Glad to hear it!
After christmas i will start the major work on my army since i am getting some SMs for christmas.

Not sure wat he is yet but...

YES! TOPHAT SPACE MARINE!

It just needs to be a little more floppy. Like it's bent on one side or something. And taller. Comically so


You should call your gold-armoured Captain "Blingus Maximus"

Alright to both!

Dude make a Marine with a pimp coat pimp cane as a librarian pimp cane as a nemesis force staff.

This project gets the seal of cool!!

Carry on!

Except it can't be called a pimp cane for the Librarian. It has to be

A) Woman-Be-Good stick

B) Magic Stick

Lol or dont make me take off my psychic pimp belt..... ah damn this army needs those biatches off the Raider kit as well Land Raider diorama the Chapter Master macking out on some ladies.

And smooth Jazz

Smooth Jazz eh?

Hmm... Finding a Saxamaphone for a 28mm mini would be tough, but a Space Marine playing Jazz would be priceless

He still has a bad case of camel t-yea never mind

I would assume they're "Counts-As" platform boots?

no he is not even part of the army. btw way t be a jerk bout his "camel toe"

Due you shoul make a board with the crunk marines' fortress monestary. It could be a giant night club!

real small speakers......headphones? thats about the smallest i can think of lol...

How bout a crunk dread? That would be slammin'.

crunk dread= old pimp


moar experience!

bow chicka chicka wow wow chicka bow wow chicka chicka bow. Oh yeah....

That joke died with that season of RvB. Only Tucker can do it and make it funny.

I demand moar pics of top-hat marine!

I'll try to find some.

Well i got the AQoBR set and a few other things reated to warhammer 40k for christmas so i have been pretty busy. Later i will post pics of some of the stuff as i "pimp" it.

Hell yeah. I am so excited, I just can't hide it!

If it works out Ill pay you .00095 (funny looking)L

=D

Looool ! This is so nice

Not even sure wat to make of those last couple posts.

Well tomorrow i will be going to get a few ork sets and a few space marines. i am making a ork army as well as the space marine one and need a "theme" for the orks. Any ideas?

lol a thug ghetto gangster ork theme!, all have bandannas baggy pants and GATS that go dakka dakka could go well but you also could do a police ork army to hassle the crunk marines ?

dunno if you mention any of your ideas we could build off that

Ha! I second the idea for police style Orks!

Awesome. the word BLING needs to be on a chain as well.

Well i went out and bout a tank and have instaled the "neons" but the speakers won't fir in the tank so until i get a baneblade or a land raider i am soundless.

counts as razor back and have the speaker where the heavy bolter is? just custom the heavy bolters around the speaker

the battery pack wont fit in the tank and it would look absolutley rediclous to have it draging behind.

paintingpimp wrote:the battery pack wont fit in the tank and it would look absolutley rediclous to have it draging behind.

Towing a Mardi Gras Float?

na....

Anyways here is the arms off my first ork i am painting. i have decided to do very little customizing so most will be very plain. I have decided to call them the purp orks.

btw sorry the pic SUCKS but it is a web cam pic so wat can you expect.

Yeah so its been a while but i got up some ambition 2 paint some of my marine veterans and will be painting more veterans and others soon.

Looking great! And I'm so glad this thread is alive!

Bit of advice...two marine shoulder pads glued together = super-awesome pimp cup!

Thanks! yeah i am still working on this project, but i also have about 15 other projects i am working on and i play Mw2 on my ps3 and xbox 360 alot.

1. LOVE YOUR ARMY

2. Dude, there is a nmm or non metallic metal, gold How To in the newest white dwarf and it made me buy it, eventhough i play orks and have no need. But it is balls awesome

K i will have 2 check it out. Thanks!

Just tried my hand at wet blending. Im not done, but I really like it but my camera doesn't do it justice.

Sweet! from what I see your blending skill are very good. Only question is what is going on with the helmet?

Don't forget canes and power backhands

dsog wrote:Sweet! from what I see your blending skill are very good. Only question is what is going on with the helmet?

The helmet is like that because i tried my skills blending diffrent colors. It will be all green.

So as i said i am working on tons of projects at once. Here is one of them. It will be the main rhino for the crunk marines army. It will have a turntable and speakers all over it. Also you probably spotted the leds i put on the bottom as neons.

A Rhino with ground effects?

That... That... Well...

That wins more Internets than this picture:


And that picture won -a lot- of Internets

Lol thanks!

Lol physcosamatic.
Thanks for the complements everyone. I think i will work on the tank some more tonight. We will see since i just got the map pack 3 days ago on COD6.

Found this thread while searching for a good way to do pimp hats for my marines, the Space Pimps.
Pictured is my Master of the Forge w/ conversion beamer. I'm new to the game, so forgive the obvious lascannon. I chose the gun before I was really aware of how recognizable a lascannon is.
