So I hate people who are dead serious and weedy about 40k. The guys who point out all the flaws you make in painting and fluff because they can, to make a malicous cold-blooded point. Thankfully I am not one of "Them". And I want my Space Marine army to be funny to play.

By this I mean painting profanities on units.

I already have a few, like "My other tank is a car" on my land raider. Having a combi-weapon as two guns taped together. A drop pod saying "Express elevator to hell. Going down.
I am working on a model of two of my marines, standing over a dead Gaunt, one holding a gun, the other prodding it with a stick.

I was hoping if other Dakkalings out there could contribute to my pile of awesome, as I want it to be as fun as possible.

Thanks





<-----------(Cos I can...)

You could abuse the bikers. Horribly and terribly. You can mount the bikers on all sorts of other 40k creatures as their mounts..

hm..

Your assault marines could be sky-boarding on tau drones...

Your terminators could all be equipped with banners, and if they are arranged in a certain way, they display an image amongst them.

Vindicator: "oncoming fire and traffic has right of way"

Loving the Skyboarding idea, and that banner thing could be hilarious.

How about the odd trail of toilet paper round a marine's leg, or "Honk if you're Horny" on a tank. also maybe "The emperor loves you, but everyone else thinks you're annoying". and stuff like that

"if this rhino be rockin, dont come a knockin"

OH!!!

theres something awesome i saw earleier on a different forum.
Space Mare-ines!!!!

another analogous idea might be to actually give your space marine backpacks. (like school backpacks) with hello kitty on them, or some other junk. If you have a few space wolf models, they have a nice mohawk, (or white scars?), just give em a punker backpack and a skateboard!

Have a Marine Tanksurfing on one of the Rhinos.

Well, I was hoping someone would get the Teen Wolf reference, but maybe that's a little before your time.

Nice to see someone having actual fun with their army design. Thats the reason I love Angry Marines...just pure fun and humor. Good luck making something crazy.

Have the servo arms on you techmarine carrying cinder blocks, and model at least one rhino without the tracks up in cinder blocks as well......you might be a 40k redness if....

Turn all of your CC weapons into the Codex astartes and yell bible fight when you charge.

So I saw a sticker in my friends house which says

"I'm not homophobic, I just dont like you"

And so I'm going to slap

"I'm not xenocidal, I just don't like you"

On a Rhino. would that be right for marines? Not TOO sure on the terminology, I just know Xeno translates to Alien in latin.

If you use a flamer on something, model a roasting marshmallow being hung from above the nozzle.

Maybe you could build a Terminator squad with Ogryns or Ogres or something, with Space Marine helmets in place of their ordinary heads? Also, how about a Marine "surfing" on a bike and firing a bolter one handed? Or a Marine sitting on top of a Dreadnought piloting it with a series of pulleys and levers like this...



Because that would be awesome.

+1 Steve.c

You could also take a cue from tank girl:




Spacemarine sat on a deck chair on the hull with a parasol and a beer? One step further and you could have a bbq with some Nid bits on it!


EDIT: THIS:



ALSO this:

That would be the best reference ever imaginable.

Make one of your Dreads a Lazynought.

I've had another idea; How about a Rhino with Deffkopta rotors bolted to it's hull? You could stick it to a large base with some of those clear stick things that come with flying vehicles at a wonky angle to make it look as though it's flying, but only barely and not very well.

Unless he is too tired for it.
Too bad you're not working on a chaos space marine army, because if you did you could make a Land Raider Dominator (I'm mentioning it once more! I have actually started on one in a very small scale)...

Special Rule: Domination - All friendly units within 12" get +1 initiative (stacks with other bonuses) as they rock out to the sound pounding out of this machine. All enemy units within 12" at the start of their turn must pass a toughness test, or suffer d6 wounds (armor saves apply) as their organs are pulped by the overwhelming bass.

Special Rule: Laser Lights - The noise marines piloting this vehicle show their devotion to the god of excess by putting on a badass death metal concert from the top of the land raider (hence the lower armor), complete with laser lights. Anyone assaulting the vehicle always requires a minimum of 5+ to hit the vehicle, as the lasers blind attackers.

Boombox fex has similar special rules.

How about a Marine riding off on an Ork bike and flippin the bird at the Ork running behind?
