This story is a sequel to PonyHammer 40,000: Magic of War II

Only a year ago, the Arctika sector was all but doomed. The hive ships of the Paranids hung over each world, seeding them with obscene creatures. The Paranids were ready to feast. But these worlds are also the recruiting ground for the Blood Phoenixes; a Chapter of the Empress's own Pony Marines. And they refused to yield.

The veteran Applejack weathered pitiless animal attacks, allowing Pinkie Pie and her scouts to find weaknesses in our ravenous foes. While Hoovitus leveled his righteous fury upon the xenos, Rainbow Dash descended upon them on wings of lightning. And Goliath Nule, the first to fall against the Paranids, returned from death in the form of a mighty Harmonaught. Commander Hammerheart led them all. Together, they fought across the deserts of Dolmaska, through the jungles of Salika, and beneath the great spire-cities of Galantius. They faced an implacable enemy, and they triumphed.

But there is a truth more implacable than any Paranid. A new threat will always emerge. Once, Planet Arctika was the sector's crown jewel, home to billions of souls. Then came the warp storms. They pushed Arctika into a new orbit, encased the planet in ice, and swallowed it whole. For a thousand years, the Warp held Arctika in its terrible grip, depositing untold horrors across its surface. Now, Planet Arctika has returned. It should be a barren ball of ice. But a signal is coming from its surface. A Blood Phoenixes signal. A call for help.
