totally stero-typical .. and totally hilarious.

Damn.. now I wants me a new Chapter..

wonder what the chapter icon would be.. a bindle?

Could a mod please move this to the project logs section?

Work will begin soon. Some current ideas:
Terminators w/ corrugated iron shields and metal pipes (taken from Deadshot)
Scouts/Chosen (if I do CSM) popping out of trash cans to represent infiltrate
Have the leader be a Librarian/Sorcerer simply because he's the only one that can read

**Deadshot**

You could use some model Harly Davidsons or something for bike squads. You would need to leave out JP and Land Speeders to look fluffy, so bikes would be your only option.

Something cool, is that scout bikers come with shotguns. An image of the Terminator from terminator 2 pops into my head.

... they're a failed Founding of the Space Vikings that never was.

It was a grim time on Fenris, suffering yet another Great Hunt that failed to recover any sign of Russ, with many Battle-Brothers fallen in battle...

The High Lords looked out amongst the expanse of the Imperium and said, "Lo, we can rebuild them. Stronger, faster... but we don't want to spend a lot of money."

Thus, the scum of the underhives of the Imperium were collected up by the Dirty Black Ships and began the rites of Initiation into the ranks of the Adeptus Astartes, using cast-off geneseed, used donations, sludge scraped off the sides of the petri dish, and copious amounts of Mad Dog 20/20, Night Train and Wild Irish Rose.

Most, of course, died in transit, having tried to make hooch with coolant collected from the enginarium, with almost all of the rest failing to survive the first implant surgery.

At last, though, a collection of the first Space Hobos received their Black Carapaces, having completed their Scout training (in reality, the Space Wolves, utterly repulsed by these degenerates, washed their hands of the project entirely and quit in disgust) and became full Battle Brothers, led by newly-appointed Chapter Master Cletus, the Slack-Jawed and Librarian A Pimp Called Slickback (calling him Slickback is heresy, it's "Librarian A Pimp Called Slickback", it's like "A Tribe Called Quest", you gotta say the whole thing).

The Space Hobos then jumped into the Warp aboard their Battle Barge, the Chevy Impala, and vanished, never to be seen again.

The High Lords watched them go, saying unto themselves, "Well, there's twenty-three Throne Gelt we'll never see again."

Exhalted!

gotta have folding camp chairs stored somewhere on them. Pack of hotdogs and can of beans locatd here and there on their army. Maybe a few fishing rods glued to their weapons or something. Techmarine has two tools. a Big cresent wrench and vise grips...WD40 to.

Frag Beans

Normally a food ource, it was dicovered that Heinz Baked Beans burned the skin of every creature othert than the Hobo Marines, who had immunity. This makes it useful to throw them at enemies when they are entrenched in cover.

dreadnaught reminds me of " the iron giant"

Ok, this is really starting to drift away from what I wanted to do. Fat hobo marines drinking beer and eating beans isn't exactly the "Barbaric Ramshackle Space Marines"
that I was going to do. If this follows through, it'll probably have some hobo parts, but no fold out chairs or frag beans
