It is the 41st Millennium in the Equestrian Imperium. It has been nearly 10,000 years since Empress Celestia banished Nightmare Moon, thus ending the Lunar Heresy. The Goddess-Empress of Ponykind senses Nightmare Moon returning to conquer the Equestrian Imperium. Space Marine Librarian Twilight Sparkle is summoned by the Empress to find five more Space Marines across the galaxy to eventually face Nightmare Moon.
Now, Twilight Sparkle and her trusty cyborg baby dragon assistant, Spike, travel the galaxy in search of these five ponies. Little does she know that in many parts of the galaxy, there is no harmony. In many parts of the grimdark galaxy...
There is only war.

This is an interesting start for a mlp/40k crossover. I don't see that many of these kind of stories on here so it's good to see someone making a ponified version of 40k.
Is this based off of another story?

This prologue is based on the final battle of the Horus Heresy, where the Emperor of Mankind confronted His son, Horus Lupercal.

Thank you!
Nice
Equestrian Guardmares
11303128
Thank you!
Of all the cameos that could have happened, Snowdrop wasn't one I expected.
11303502
What did you think of it?
Not a bad start, I will follow your writing with great interest.
Although, I would like to know how your writing the Legions. As The Luna Wolves were the sixteenth and the Blood Angels were the ninth.
11303913
Yeah, I know. But I kinda went through a process of choosing random numbers and assigning them to different legions. Because while some are based on those from 40k, some were original legions I made up.
11303917
Fair enough. Can't wait to see more.
11303505
It sure was horus heresy I suppose?
11304005
Yep!
Excellent chapter mate, well done with the lore adaptions and everything. Also, I feel we all know what this means...
11304166
I’m a big fan of the Imperial Fists, Crimson Fists, and the Black Templars! Thank you very much!
11304168
Your very welcome comrade.
I'm betting Applejack is gonna be an Imperial Hooves, ain't she?
11304179
Not exactly. But I will say that it she is in a Successor Chapter. ;)
11304184
Oh ho ho ho...
PURGING WITH MY KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN-
Regardless, keep up the good work, honorable battle brother. The emperor protects!
11304202
I didn’t say it would be the Black Templars, brother.
Question: how did Magnus' true backstory get relayed to the Imperium and why is he still a Traitor?
11304894
Oh no, I didn’t think about that…
11304963
Best fix would be that they also know about the displacement of his shards and share the same pity for him Celestia showed to Luna before sealing her away.
11305025
Is that what happens to Magnus after the Horus Heresy?
11305194
More like during. When Leman Russ broke his back, his soul was shattered into multiple pieces. The Thousand Sons tried to find them, but Tzeentch got involved and only let them find the worst fragments while most of his good fragments were destroyed.
The singular exception is Magnus' Noble Shard, which the Emperor obtained and used to create Janus: the first Grand Master of the Grey Knights.
It's not mentioned what happened to the shard after Janus died, though the popular belief is that it passes from Grand Master to Grand Master and that's why Kaldor Draigo was able to 1v1 Mortarion after Morty killed the previous Grand Master. (Also Starlight is my pick for Kaldor Draigo in this universe)
11305238
Hmm… I don’t plan on Starlight being in this story, but I think you may have given me a little bit of an idea.
Thanks for sharing that with me!
11305417
No problem, I'm currently rewriting one of my older fics now that I know more about 40k.
If you're looking for more info and are capable of translating sarcasm, I recommend Majorkill and Five(ish) Minute Lore by Old Man Reacts.
11305796
Okay, thanks.
To dwarf something is to be larger than it, this makes Scootaloo's wings sound huge.
I don't know if you've already planned out Scootaloo's fate, but a perfect way out for her is the Deathwatch...she may even reunite with her friends there.
11311478
Oh... oops... That is NOT what I meant at all. Sorry.
11311478
I have something else planned for Scootaloo. Thank you for pointing out my mistake.
Traitors...
Hoo boy, this is gonna be good. Already liking the characterization.
11311492
No problem mate.
Yeah, I mean, all you did was threaten to kill her. The nerve of some ponies am I right?
Considering the options they're considering it might actually be safer to just bring her with you.
You nailed Rainbow's loyalty to Scootaloo in that chapter. Also, you really captured the tragedy of child soldiers in Scootaloo. Although I am afraid for Scootaloo, because if Rainbow won't leave Scootaloo to help Twilight, the logical plot point would be to kill Scootaloo off so Rainbow will take up the Element to avenge her. Or maybe you have something else planned?
11319741
Oh, don’t worry. I don’t plan on killing Scootaloo off.
Thanks, by the way!
Ah fuck, a demon.
Someone call the Grey Knights.
11320760
Sorry, but Sunburst isn’t in this story right now.
FUCK EREBUS!!!
Lol, just kidding. Great chapter. Look forward to the next one.
11321307
Thanks. I actually intended on using the MLP G1 villain Erebus, not the Erebus that caused the Horus Heresy. But I guess I got carried away and made him like the Daemon Prince from the Tabletop.
Still, I’m glad you are enjoying this!
11321333
Huh, didn't even know there was a G1 villain named Erebus. Neat.
11321489
Thanks.
That was the most epic battle scene I've read in a long time. That was like Redwall with guns. Not sure if i like Wind Rider as a Changeling. It wouldve been better to just have him be the real Wind Rider who betrays the Wonderbolts so he can be the high commander of the heretics or some other greed fueled reward by Nightmare Moon. . Either way, I cant wait for the boss battle next chapter.
When they first met Wind Rider, and explained their mission to him, his internal thoughts were of how the glory of defeating Nightmare Moon would bring him praise for his service to the Empress. Now, we find out he was a changeling and loyal to the Dark Gods all along. If he was always a changeling, why would his initial thoughts have been of defeating Nightmare Moon for the Empress?
We haven't really gotten a backstory for Spike yet. You refer to him as a cyborg, but I'm abit confused? A cyborg is a combination of organic and mechanical parts, usually an organism that was originally entirely organic, and then modified with mechanical enhancement. Like the Borg from Star Trek.
Is Spike a cyborg here, or is he completely mechanical? If he's completely mechanical, then he's a robot or an android. Like Data from Star Trek.
11322659
First of all, you'll find out why in the next chapter.
Second, Spike's a cyborg.

You see, TasermonsPartner, Spike is based on this Cherub I painted when I painted this Librarian.
11322399
Trust me, Matt, that was the initial plan. But I felt that it was too predictable, especially if one has seen Rarity Investigates. So instead, I decided to make him a red herring... if I'm using that term correctly.
Still, I am in the middle of planning the next chapter. I am looking forward to it, though.
11322659
I hope that this isn't a copout, but I edited a bit of Chapter 2 so that the story makes more sense. Thank you for pointing that mistake out for me.
When do you think another chapter will come out? I really want to see what happens next.
11323090
Has this story been dropped?
