This story is a sequel to PonyHammer 40,000: Magic of War | Winter Strike
The Planet Cronus. Beset on all sides by the tides of war, this once-quiet colony became a savage battlefield. Seven armies clashed on this one world, each refusing to back down, each convinced it was in the right.
From beneath the sands of Cronus's central desert came the Necronies, ancient machines bent on eradicating all life. But another evil already had its eyes on the planet. From the depths of the Warp, the daemonic forces of Discord arrived to enforce their claim. To oppose these fearsome powers, the planet's rulers in the Dau Empire sent their elite soldiers and sophisticated battlesuits into the fray. From the mighty Equestrium of Ponies came the Equestrial Guard, there to secure Cronus for the glory of the God Empress. Like a pink tide, the Hog horde descended on Cronus, caring little for others' claims and sowing destruction in its wake. The Eldeer, ancient enemies of the Necronies, emerged from their Webway to pursue their own agenda on Cronus. And last came the Pony Marines, finest and most uncompromising of the Equestrium's soldiers. Seeing a world beset by animals and heretics, they undertook a great purge.
A Dark March had begun. It could only end with the total victory of one of these factions, and the total defeat of all others.
(I'm gonna go with the Pony Marines for two reasons: One, they're already the canonical victors in the series. Two, they're too awesome to not win the conflict.)
(WarHammer 40,000 belongs to Games Workshop)
Is this solely from the Marines point of view?
2361207 They win the Kronus Campaign in Dark Crusade, so pretty much.
And so we begin the next in the line of DoW games...
Soulstorm is still to come though, and if you don't include METAL BAWXES and Spess Mahreens...
2368256 When the next story comes, you'll learn soon enough.
Oh, and I believe you mean Poneh Mehreens.
you are a pretty good writer besides this you could actualy write a warhammer mlp fanfiction
2417233 I say, I say, thank ya.
I just wanted to try something that's been itching in the back of my mind. I'm surprised how well it turned out. But you and all my Battle Siblings are the heart of my success. I thank you all from the bottom of my dragon heart.
Reminds me of a YouTube movie where Indrick Boreale brings down the caverns atop the Necrons with his voice...
2420673 Does it, now?
very nice adding the dawn of war 2 reference
2432330 It's all part of the storyline.
2432342 funny enough i had the chaplain with me on that mission and he died at the end
2432350
It happens...
2432360 gotta love chaplains always bad ass he took two packs of flayed ones
2432377 Faith is purest when it is unquestioned, so bless the mind too small for doubt.
Nevermind, forgot this wasn't soulstorm. But you do realize that the only "good guys" in the ordeal are the guard or the Eldar. The spess mureenz kill everyone regardless.
2717909 In the Warhammer 40,000 universe, there are no good guys. It's basically anti-heroes versus aliens, evil, and sometimes each other.
2718056 I know, that's part of what makes the lore so great. But in retrospect, the spice hammers are right up there on the bastard chats with the necrons and chaos space marines.
2719735 Ain't no kill like overkill.
2719746. Dish 'ere response is roight Orky...
2719915 Time fer foot-shloggin, boyz!
So, Dau are the deer, right? And the Gryphans are the Kroot?
2723392 The Dau are kind of like over-sized Asian Mouse Deers, yes. And Gryphons are Kroots. A very complicated thought process that I managed to get through.
Ignore my "are Dau deer?" comment. What are the Dau, anyway? Zebras?
2723415 I just said, they are like over-sized Asian Mouse Deers. It may seem a little lame, but when you think about it, it fits relatively well.
2717909 I know this is Dawn of War 1, but the Tyranids are actually the most "good" out of everyone. The most evil is most likely the Dark Eldar.
2723481 There are no good guys in Warhammer 40,000. It's anti-heroes vs aliens, evil, and sometimes each other.
2723493 I know. That's why I said "good" and not good. THe Tyranids are the most "good" because they're simply hungry. The Dark Eldar (And not the Daemons) are the most evil because they choose to be sadistic fucks. The Daemons just act from nature.
2723590 But it's the daemonic forces of Chaos who practically manipulate the Dark Eldar into doing their bidding, just like they do with the Chaos Space Marines. Daemons may have a nature of being evil, but that's because they are basically evil made manifest.
Look to the scriptures of the Bible, if you're religious.
If not, then take my word for it.
2723718.........................................Touche.
2723963 There, ya see.
Playing these games for about four or five years teaches you things. And I could say that I know almost everything about the Warhammer series, but there might be something that I haven't learned, yet.
2724060 I've been playing for roughly three years, and I only have a roughly 1500 point army.
2724071 Keep at it, and delve deeper into the lore. There are so many vvonders that avvait for you to discover.
2724078 Oh, I know. I have a Tyranid army. What do you play?
2724131 Space Marines, Tau Empire, Necrons... Eh, just about everyone. I like them all equally. Just like with the ponies, it's hard to actually pick and choose a favorite.
2724156 *Snickers* Really? Rainbow Dash.
2724222 I would've known, considering.
2723481 I agree with the dark eldar, but the nids as good guys? Explain bitte.
2724328 The TYranids are simply hungry. They're not trying to conquer the galaxy, they're not trying to slaughter everyone, ((Well, sort of)) they just want food. if you were always hungry, and you had the means and will, wouldn't you eventually devour everything?
2726216 yes, but that doesn't make it right. And their hive mind tells them not to feed as much as it tells them to expand and evolve. I still believe the exodite Eldar have the purest motives and consciences than any other race.
Again my shout out to my favorite faction the necrons, holla!
And honestly I'd say that those dirty marines should have been flayed by those really really nasty flayed ones.
