EDIT: Inspiration
The original idea for this is actually from an unfinished comic on deviantart by someone called Telgin I found a few years ago. Basically I just kept thinking about what happened next and this is the result. If you read the comic then the first chapter you can probably see the similarities.

Also many characters have their parallels in the game Mechanicus as well.

The Adeptus Astartes, great defenders of mankind. Unless they're just some guy who's been thrust into being one due to the whims of fate and some sort of extra-dimensional being. Especially so when that guy is weird, possibly likes classical literature a bit too much, and might be a little insane.

A displaced story and my first story that I've shared anywhere, so please be gentle with your scathing comments.

Warhammer 40k/MLP crossover. all copyrights to their respective owners, Games Workshop and Hasbro.

Brother Sgt Vorn Aldor of the 9th company finds himself in an alternate Equestria. A three-way war wages across the once peaceful nation. Equestria stands bloody with Celestia at its helm. To the West Nightmare Moon controls all and finally to the North King Sombra once again reigns over the Crystal Empire.

If you like or don't like it please tell me so I can improve.

“The ultimate fate of the Salamanders' Primarch is a matter of much conjecture, for he disappeared many years after the Horus Heresy. Some sources state that Vulkan led his Chapter for three entire millennia before he departed on some mission he never declared to the Imperium at large, though scant evidence of any of his deeds throughout that age remain. The tale is made all the more mysterious by the fact that Vulkan appeared to have left behind him a text, called the Tome of Fire, within which is locked the nature and location of nine artefacts the Primarch willed to his Chapter. It said that over one thousand standard years after the events of the Horus Heresy, Vulkan hid these nine artefacts around the galaxy for his Chapter to find, as a test to see if they were worthy of his leadership. Of these nine relics, five have been recovered, three of which, the Spear of Vulkan, Kesare's Mantle and the Gauntlet of the Forge, are wielded by the Chapter's Forgefather, Vulkan He’stan. Two, the Chalice of Fire and the Eye of Vulkan, remain on the Nocturnean moon of Prometheus in the Chapter’s fortress-monastery, while the last four artefacts, the Engine of Woes, the Obsidian Chariot, the Unbound Flame and the Song of Entropy, have yet to be discovered. The Tome of Fire claims that only when all of these artefacts are recovered by the Forgefather of the Salamanders, as five now have been, will Vulkan judge the Salamanders sufficiently tempered to have passed the ultimate contest. Then, so the legend states, he shall return to lead the Salamanders in the final war against the enemies of Humanity in accordance with the prophecies written within the Chapter's most sacred tome.”

Steely Lathe was just like any other pegasus mare in Canterlot. Then Aliens decided to bring their war to Equestria's shining capital. Through a series of misfortunes and a few lies, she joins the 38th Company, anger issues and all.

A spin off from the Iron Hearts series
Thank you to 2135D for cover art and SFaccountant for the free commission.

An Age Of Iron story based on the characters and world of SFAccountant.

Solon of the 38th company has many titles, Warsmith, Commander, Right Hand of Perturabo, Bug Legs, That Guy, What's His Face The One That Talks Funny You Know Him, and many others.

Today he will gain a new title.

Captain Vestus Benedicto, a recently renegade Space Marine from the Mantis Warriors Chapter, is torn. In the aftermath of the Badab War, he and his men feel that they will never again be accepted. As they travel far beyond Imperial space, they encounter an...interesting planet. After travelling into the Gheist Rift, they find the strange planet of Equestria, as the Marines of the Mantis Warriors try to adjust to their new neighbors the discover that they aren't the only ones who seek Equestria. As vile Dark Eldar of the Kabal of the Ninth Tide invade to torture and abduct the ponies of Equestria, the Mantis Warriors prepare to defend their temporary home.

When a pony named Magnus accidentally comes to Equestria with his rather violent brother the two rush to find a way back to their own home. However, they first must get help with the local royalty which proves to be harder by the minute with how much Magnus's brother keeps trying to kill local ponies out of annoyance.

Teen for violence and language

The immaterium is an unpredictable and fickle aspect of reality, and "impossible" ceases to be a valid term when it is involved.

As such, when Twilight witnesses a fantastical cosmic event occur above Equestria, she immediately investigates. What she finds is nothing short of one of the most dangerous artifacts to ever make its way to the relatively peaceful realm of ponies: a blackened suit of massive armor, marked by the ouroboros.
