1: Agree with Ides: having two armies that play the same way will be boring. Being crazy is fun!
2: uhh, I'm not that great at coverting/scrounging bitz, and do not have a very extensive knowledge of such. You could go for the Forge World models, but those are expensive... I think I have to agree with Ides again: add extra picks, hatchets, axes, knives, etc. Perhaps make cuts into the uniforms to get a ragged look, and/or green stuff it.
3: Agree with Ides: part of the fun of being crazy, as mentioned earlier, is taking advantage of crazy options. Take the chaos marines.
