The Metal Box Marauders (named for what some of their space ships look like.) are a huge horde of minifigs who've recently decided to start a universe-wide crusade of indiscriminate killing called the "Great Red Crusade". They are united by their mutual love of destruction and blood. Most of them aren't even normal minifigs, instead being clones of the minifigs who started the MBM, brainwashed to indiscriminately kill everything non-MBM. Whether it be pedestrians or just simple plant life, if it isn't part of the MBM, it's fair game to the clones. However, with overwhelming numbers, comes great weakness. Most of the frontline infantry of the MBM (aside from the heroes) are protected only by prayers to their "Blood God", which they call "Korhn" and thin metal armor, which is about as protective as wearing a Kevlar vest and running in front of a Browning M2 that's being fired. To make up for this, they focus heavily on using vehicles called "Ultra-Heavy tanks" (Apocalypse Tanks) and augmenting themselves with cybernetiks (Which really does nothing aside from prolonging the already short lifespan of MBM infantry in battle). They also love chainswords and huge amounts of dakka.
The 3 individual heroes of the MBM. To the far left is Skinface, aptly named for his tendency to skin peaches he killed just so that he can make a mask out of their skin. He uses a suppressed sniper with no scope (perhaps trying to emulate the White Death?) and a skinning knife. He happens to be one of the original founders of the MBM. In the middle is XM05. He used to be a shocktrooper until the first time he got killed. He was pieced back together and his armor modified to carry a life-support system. Now, every time he gets killed and isn't gibbed, he has a chance of getting back up to keep on fighting. He carries an experimental RT+GT chainsword which has a chance to blow up and a pistol, which can't fire. To the far right is Admiral Valerius. This minifig is the leader of the "Great Red Crusade". He uses a fekkin' Gatling gun emplacement that doesn't need to be set up as his main weapon. It takes a turn to spin up; but once it's spun up, he can unleash loads of dakka on those unlucky to be in range.
