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
