Then just play angry marines. Wait, someone should do a diorama of some imperial guard that have run over a genestealer or something and are surrounded by carnifexes suddenly. "Looks like you mashed some poor fella's dog, sarge."

One of my good buddies plays Space Wolves, however, he insists that we change EVERY "wolf" in the entire codex with bear (as well as many other words, just so no unit/weapon/attack doesn't have bear in it). So, instead, no! I do not know anyone who plays Space Wolves, I know only SPACE BEARS. Featuring: Canis Bearborn! Njal Bearcaller! Bjorn the Bear Handed (including talks of converting a dreadnought with a bear for a hand), Long Bears, Grey Bears, Bear Cavalry, and Drop Bears!

...Yes, we are very easily entertained.

I would make an Imperial Guard army just so I can build a Valkyrie and leave the hatch open so I can have one Guardsmen kicking an orc out with the words "Get off my plane" scribbled on the side of the ship in homage to my favorite Harrison Ford movie line ever! lol

Most OP army ever.

I originally set out to make my IG army Cobra (gi Joe) themed. I may still make a squad of Vets that way if I can find heads.

Other Horrible Hilarious Ideas:
Lollipop kid Ratling squad
Dog the Bounty Hunter as the head of an Daemon Hunters Army
Jason Vorhees as Commissar Yarrick

Drop Bears! Feth the Bear Cavalry, this just got REAL!

Speaking of Space Bears. My friend and I had an idea for him to make Thunder Bear Cavalry.

Oh yes, especially when said Drop Bears can be equipped with Bearwind Launchers! Haha, I also think Murderous Bearicane and Jaws of the World Bear are also pretty funny.

The great thing is, if we ever do a 2 vs 2, whatever army he's teamed up with because bear themed, except if it's another SM army, then they're just slaves to the great, evil bears.

I have the Knight Who Say Ni, modelled with power herrings, holy hand grenades, and chief librarian Tim the Enchanter throwing the Killer Rabbit like a Javelin.

Simply hilarious.

Tough call ...

What about awkward marines? Like you have a bunch of perfect badass looking marines in a squad, then when you look closer there are little stupid things done to them, like one marine has a different eye color than the rest, one is holding a Lasgun, one holding a bolter upside down, and the sergeant's chainsword has no teeth. Get the picture?

If I ever get a crap ton of money, I am going to commission someone to make one for me.

The Eldar do sort of have of a anime vibe to some of their crafts, but I was more referring to the really ornate Gundams/Gundam-ish mechas.

Like this guy:


or this


Or any of the even more crazy looking anime mechas. There is so many ornate mechas in anime, a lot of which are much more detailed that the 2 examples above.

If people thought the Tau with too 'anime' before, this kind of conversion would cause them to start foaming at the mouth

BA with every unit on bikes and jump packs(rhinos LRs and dreads included included)

EDIT: Strike that I want to see necrons like this , or a completely hippy painted Catachan force(havent seen one)

Pastel Dark Eldar!

Gurren Lagann Orks, led by Warboss Simork.

How has everyone forgotten a legitiamte chapter you could do this with?

Rainbow warriors

Paint them all with rainbows (would take I long time... I know)
Make sure their symbol is an "S" to symbolize their link to skittles
ect, ect.

or just do the knights who say ni

Oooo.. How about "Shiny Happy Orkes"
Paint them green then paint bright yellow smiley faces over their faces.

I was just going to paint all my Tau suits up as Optimus Prime.

I've got it! A space marine Chapter based around internet memes!

Sisters of Battle with Space Wolf heads, aka Drag Queens of Battle

I play Orkettes.



That's all I have to say.

I always loved these:



And to match the awesomeness (same army Mannahnin posted I guess):

The Emo Boy Party Bus List!
Noise Marines in Rhinos!
Mod the rhinos to have little mini speakers, and have them blast metal!
Paint them pink and black, and paint the faces to look like Kiss!

The Supermarines space marine chapter led by the legendary hero Supermarinus, blue and red color scheme with some gold. Played using rules for DoA Blood Angels and Sanguinor.

In a similar vein, Order of the Wondrous Lady sisters army.
