No word for that

:) Obviously a joke squad but if somebody did want to try them out they'd need toning down a bit to be balanced. If they were the only squad it wouldn't matter so much. They'd need Friendly Fire and Switch Sides to be replaced my Move It and Fire because those need other squads. It might be an idea to do that anyway to make them more marine players friendly.

It would be good if I could come up with another couple of joke squads to replace the standard three. I'm open to suggestions.

[Tony1978]

Sorry, no idea

[Gold Bearer]

Worms are perfect because they're funny and have lots of silly weapons to choose from. I might make the other two Doom and Quake marines. The Doom monsters would be awesome in space crusade. One day I'll add them all to LurchBrick's game if he lets me.

That remembers me Chaos androids rules in Epic 40k: they simply could (mis)interpret their orders.

[Gold Bearer]

Never played epic, played 40k once. I used to play WH Fantasy Battle. Another silly chapter to complete the set.
