This is actually pretty clever merging of 40k and the first episode ^^

took a leaf  from Ciaphas Cain I see

WE ARE GUARDSMEN! WE GUARD OUR TANKS FROM THE INSIDE!!!

LETS SEE A BOLT GUN HEAT A MICROWAVE DINNER!

Absolutely brilliant crossover! So, thus far, Twilight is an inquisitor, Rainbow is a Space Marine, Applejack is a commissar, Fluttershy is an Imperial Guard, and Rarity is a Techpriest...

Pinkie is gonna be a psyker. I'm calling it.

...Launching a live being from a torpedo tube?... Why am I reminded of the Angry Marines?

Love it. All of it. Sorry if it's so short, but I'm not feeling the "long, gushing review" vibe.

Damn it. What is it about Warhammer and Ponies that make the mix SO GOOD?!? Almost all of the crosses that I read end up on my favs/track list the moment I finish the first chapter.

What is it about Ponies in the Grim-darkness of the 41st millenium? And why can't Halo/Ponies keep up?!? I mean, the only cross that I can actually like about that cross is "Contact Equestria" and yet when it came out with it's most recent chapter, I could actually hear the sinking of it's quality! WTH???

MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES

>>9194691946 ... I sooooo want to see a commercial for that.

I applaud you, sir! While the crossover has been done, yours stand out because of your clever and funny writing (especially your descriptions) and because one difference in execution, it seems: while most MLP/40K crossovers put a veneer of MLP terminology and facts over 40K, but keep 40K sensibilities - ie its still fucking grimdark, even with ponies - yours don't. Instead, it is non-lethal weapons and pie attacks and when they say they want to spread friendship and harmony, it's not an euphemism, they really mean it. This makes it interesting!

I have to agree with much of the above. The way you blended the settings is very unique to what I've seen and come to expect, but still quite immersive and fun (I want to call it... colorful for some reason), and I was repeatedly amazed at how adeptly you kept the mane cast in character in their new roles. Not to mention, your prose does the HERO OF THE IMPERIUM proud (I recognized the Cain-series' influence even before the first footnote ). I daresay this is the best 40K crossover I've read yet, including my own.

You're doing the Empress's work, my boy. Keep at it.

Ave Imperatrix Celestialis

Brilliance as always.

Awesome story.

And the wonder continues...

Oh that Twilight, such a Radical.

Is this the end then? Obviously, there's sequel room, but this seems an awful lot like an ending.

Regardless, you've got quite a remarkable story here. Prose, characterization, action, crossover interpretation, all top-notch.

My face when "Abe'Ram Goat."

[](/swagintosh "The Princess Protects.")

Absolutely hilarious!

Good to see the story ending on a funny note! This has definitely given me a few ideas for comics and suchlike (Especially the idea of throwing magnets at techpriests)

Oh lawl, this is awesome. Love it.

I'll definitely have to read more of this later. Very clever of you to use Caiphas Cain.

The story-telling is top notch and I didn't notice any devastating deep grammatical errors, except for in the very last chapter. I really like the way you merged the different universes and your approach made it an interesting read, as well as a rather original perspective. An inversion of the usually grimdark WH40K blended with the original first two episodes of the first season really does make for a good pie.

You have already built yourself a great world and it would be cool to see a sequel to this great story. And I laughed my arse off on the last chapter. :3

As a thanks; Moustaches to you!

...And the really terrifying thing is that the Imperium was actually closer to this than the society of 40k during the great crusade.

Jurgen! needs Some one to fill the Jurgen gap.  lol love this fic

Is it just me or does ditzy doo remind me of sulla? even got it down to the equine features..

is number 87 a tribute to squats?

Just finished reading Skippy's list love all the references just missing one:

167: Muffins are not entitled to a full military funeral, even if they died in the line of duty.

I don't know why it says I haven't read this, when I obviously remember doing just that.

And I don't know why it says I haven't upvoted this, when I quite clearly remember doing so.

The reason it's not on my favorite list is, quite honestly, unfathomable to me. I distinctly remember it being there.

I guess I'll just have to correct those mistakes.

That is truly an original way of writing a MLP/W40K crossover. The result is quite funny and entertaining, and the mane characters are still themselves.

On a sidenote: WE ARE THE SPACE MAREINES! IN THE MANE OF THE EMPRESS WE FIGHT IN SPEHS!

A+  

Ditzy Doo, Heroine of the Equestrium!

I hope you write more stories in this vein. This was delightful. Especially best pony's rules of conduct.

HOW HAVE I JUST HEARD ABOUT THIS!?

Dude. 40K+Ponies=AWESOME! EPIC! And even more AWESOME! I burst out laughing at the "Laughter of young fillies" part . While I do think Fausticorn would make a better Empress of Ponykind (in my own attention), you make this work! You have my attention, good sir, go on.

Oh yeah, Praise be to the Empress!
