THE IMPERIUM OF MAN: an empire of a million worlds, it has stood for ten thousand years. But now the chaos gods are preparing for their final assault, and things older than gods are stirring in their sleep, and the Imperium is crumbling: sabotaged from within by mutants, heretics and witches; assaulted from without by the menace of the alien and the daemon.
Inquisitor Grimmus Darkium is a noble defender of humanity, in the hallowed Ordo Xenos. It is his duty to seek out new life and new civilizations - and destroy them before they become a threat to mankind. Through his extensive networks, and in no small part due to his own heroic ingenuity, the inquisitor has found what may be an existential threat to the Imperium.
Can the forces of the Imperium defeat the menace posed by these innocuous-seeming pastel-coloured equine xenos? More importantly - can Pinkie Pie keep her friend's surprise birthday party under wraps and make it the best night ever?
Ponys aren't Xenos and more than Human made Abominable Intelligences are. They are Terra-originating sapients. Quite a different type of extermination. Slightly larger hammer, I believe.

Btw where did you find the cover art?
Found the cover art on ponibooru, ages ago; according to there & derpibooru it's by miketheuser (here is his deviantart). I've asked permission to use it, but so far haven't recieved a reply. Obviously, if he objects I'll have to remove it.

I certainly hope one of those Guard regiments is the Valhallan 597th, good sir.

you'll just have to wait and see
OMG I had been following this story on Stardestroyer BBS for a while! It's unfinished, but it's f***ing awesome! Its about time the author publishes on FIMfiction.net. Best of luck.
And to better appreciated fully what Equestria is facing:

Yeah I got myself banned there lol, so this is the place to check for updates, once I've got all the chapters transferred over.
912356
Really? What happened?
915288
The site owner banned two guys for disagreeing with him (and with one of them deleted all of the posts he ever made - and this was a pretty prolific member, so a lot of threads now make no sense at all), and I didn't care enough about that place to not call him an asshole.
A Warhammer fic that doesn't have OOC Space Marines protecting pony-kind even though they are abominable Xenos? And where The Imperium and Ponies don't become instant BFF's?
Yes.
All of my yes.
Normally I object to any war in equestria fic, but I will enjoy watching equestria burn at the hands of the emperors hammer
suffer not the xenos to live
Excellent work sir. Continue forward: For the Glory of the Emperor!

Spoken like a true servant of the Imperium
awesome chapter with that knowledge of Celestia the only thing that cold probably stand a chance against her is the gray knights, but then again space marines who encounter them have memory erased of there encounter with the gray knights and all Guardsmen units who fight with gray knights are executed by the inquisition to keep there existence a myth
Not sure I like the turn this has taken. Most of the special characters in the tabletop make Celestial look like a Snotling, and enough Guardsmen can take them down. Inquisitors wouldn't be afraid by an alien on the ship, they'd be pissed beyond belief
I think Celestia is probably on the high end of the power scale in terms of WH40K, but that she'd be something of a glass cannon: unless she was prepared, or had the element of surprise (and she had both of those things here), a single shot from a lasgun could take her down.
And suddenly the bridge of ship was filled with holy white light, and the immaculate and clean form of Kaldor Draigo appeared.
"Who are you?" Celestia quickly asked, surprised.
Kaldor reached up and unsealed his helmet, revealing Matt Ward. He quickly punched Celestia in the cunt with the force of twenty trillion Psycannons, instantly destroying her and spreading a wave of imperial pride throughout the universe destroying every single alien, mutant, and heretic forever
Can I out-wank the Ultramarines with the ponies?
Let's find out.
Don't make her angry.

YOU WON'T LIKE HER WHEN SHE'S ANGRY.
At last, a proper writing of Celestia as insanely powerful.
965402
Um. Celestia can move a star through more than 110 degrees of arc in a matter of seconds, and hold herself literally still. I think that I'd probably put her just below Nightbringer (in his full doom-of-the-eldar, living-embodiment-of-death star vampire form; not his pansy-ass tabletop shard) which means that Nightbringer, the Outsider, probably The Emperor and possibly the four Ruinous Powers combined are the only things that outclass her.
And I am not entirely sure, having written this that the Nightbringer outclasses her either.
1075757 different mythologies had different ideas of what the sun is, and no geocentric system ever depicted it as being the size of a real star. Not to mention that Equestrian magic is highly specialized, so just because she can move a star (that, again, is probably extremely miniature) doesn't mean she'll be able to apply that to combat. Let's not forget her getting her ass handed to her by a changeling amped up on love--it's fairly clear the comparison Nightbringer (who made every race in the galaxy fear death) is a little unfair, and that's not even going into the Ruinous Powers, a.k.a. "the blokes what kept a lighyears-wide portal open for ten thousand years and counting"
I can't help but feel like the Black Templars or another chapter are going to make her regret that "corpse" remark
1075808
I have a reasonably thought out response to this:
1) Geocentricity makes more sense, since its either that or move the entire planet, which would end up with some very, very dead ponies very very easily.
2) Celestia refers to it as a star (and the Cogboys have yet to notice anything weird about the star) so that means that it likely is a standard star and lies on the main sequence.
3) A bit of rough calculation suggests that even moving a star at a constant velocity would incur a minimum energy of 3.8*10^51 J (multiplied by two to keep Celestia in place). Note that this is a gross underestimation, as Celestia also has to accelerate and decelerate the star, and keep it spherical.
This equates to the equivalent of 42000 solar masses of energy every morning and evening. Bare Minimum.
Not to mention she has to stop Equestria falling in to the sun and run a kingdom and raise the moon for a thousand years.
1017004
You don't need to out-wank the Ultrasmurfs with Ponies. I have just worked out that Celestia expends more energy than the entire race of C'tan at their height aspired to.
Before breakfast.
1075987 it wasn't until she ordered them (and they obeyed for some fucking reason, but that's another can of worms) that they even looked at the star system. It's very likely that she's not particularly strong on a 40k scale, given that, again, Chrysalis outshot her with only the love of one pony, and love is a pitiful force compared to the more primal emotion the Ruinous Powers draw their energy from.
Celestia<Emotions of one pony
Dark Gods= Emotions of uncounted Trillions.
1075987
Even if she does have such a ridiculous scale of power, and assuming it isn't actually a specialised 'move the sun' spell rather than telekinesis, that doesn't necessarily mean she can use that power in a useful way: maybe the bulk of her powers are used up moving the sun, maybe she doesn't have the kind of fine control to use her powers in a fight. Also, with the Imperium, all it would take to defeat the ponies would be a single Inquisitorial ship with a single cyclonic torpedo to go undetected...
And, of course, powerful != invincible, just because she can lift the sun doesn't mean a lucky lasgun shot couldn't kill her.
1076357
Actually, you don't know if they obeyed, only that Celestia told the admiral that she told the techpriests to do that... but if they decided not to take orders from some alien (quite likely with an inquisitor in the room), the admiral would surely want to check out her boast.
Ooo. Dragons vs. Valkries that'll be a greeeeat fight
I would love it if later chaos come into it and the ponys are show why we are so fill up with hate
1081718
Cutie mark crusader chaos cultists yay!
BRING DA CHAOS OR ME AND ME ORK BOYZ'LL BASH YOUSE BRAINZ IN!!!! BRING THE CHAOS SO THAT THE PONIES WILL SEE WHY WE, THE SERVANTS OF THE EMPEROR, HIS WARRIORS AND CHAMPIONS, MUST BE SO VIOLENT, SO THAT WE MAY BE PEACEFUL TOWARDS THEM, FOR THEY ARE SO INFERIOR TO US THAT IT WOULD ALMOST BE A SHAME TO EXTERMINATE THEIR SPECIES!
was a loyal menber of the imperial guard,servant of the immortal emperor god and woshiper of the great ommisiah and his machine spirits i find this fanfic to be higly heretical
1105253
uh... oookay...
Whether Celestia on her own would be able to carry out on that "One pony hurt, one world destroyed" threat by herself is open to debate
. However, I get the feeling that she's threatening to sic not just herself, but as much of Equestria as she can militarise on the Empire. Celestia and Luna alone are capable of controlling the celestial (pun intended
) mechanics of an entire solar system. The Empire is ridiculously stubborn at times, but I somehow doubt even they would be able to do much when their planets are thrown into eternal day, night, or just into the sun. Also, it would be interesting to see what the Elements of Harmony could do, although I admit, they would most probably only be useful against Chaos related threats.
That being said, speaking as someone who plays Black Templars, they would undoubtedly be a major problem if the Empire decided to get serious. Or the Space Wolves. Especially the GreyKnights. Or any of the other chapters.

Must... resist urge... to post spoilers in the comments...
The Imperial crew in a few days:
We have arrived, and it is now that we perform our charge.
In fealty to the God-Emperor (our undying Lord) and by the Grace of the Golden Throne, I declare Exterminatus upon the Xeno world of Equestria.
I hereby sign the death warrant of an entire world and consign a million Xenos to oblivion.
May Imperial Justice account in all balance.
The Emperor Protects.
Or maybe chaos shows up and kills them all, or even better, The God Emperor appears in some way in Equestria and gives Celestia a sample of Imperial justice. And by the Emperor, Celestia's the filthy Xeno Liar!!!!!!
You wouldn't know that many of the guys posting here actually like the ponies.
Exterminatus... DIE!
I stand for what's nicer, softer, pleasanter...Maybe why I'm so allergic to grimdark.
Yeah, Celestia totally rockin' and ruling here. Sweet. I DANCE ON THE CORPSE EMPEROR'S LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM!
pinkie.ponychan.net/chan/files/src/132132673050.jpg
This needs to be updated like asap this is a masterpeice, a hilarious, grimdark, action-packed masterpeice. I eagerly await an update!
Let us see what happens if our dear celestia is tricked into setting hoof on a Necron tomb world. The flayed ones await their new coat.
Hmm. Lifeeater virus against whatever crap a bunch of multicolored horses can come up with, plus occasional beings that can negate all magic around them. Heh, now I got a mental image of some random guardsman standing up after celestia blasts apart a regiment, and beating the crap out of her because magic no worky and she would be basically crippled from the pain.
Oops, some how I managed to put up the wrong chapter last time
So I fixed that.
So Celestia's the belligerent warmonger? Not the Imperium? Cool.
Yeah, that's just a little bit impossible.
Dude this is awesome! oi'm glad your back i was missing this story! Celestia should have invested in a military air force instead of relying on stunt flyers, one question though, if this Imperial Regiment has carriers, why aren't they just carpet bombing all the major cities?

Actually, these are some chapters I wrote ages ago, but noticed just the other day that they weren't up here. I will be continuing it, but you might be in for another long wait. Not as long as the last gap, though.
As for your question, well,
I hadn't though of thatyou'll just have to wait and see the explanationWith these chapters so short and far between, it's hard to stay interested in this.
But please tell me that this wont have the stereotypical 40k/pony ending. (humans lose sadly, ponies are arrogant as fuck in the end, or they all become friends) so please, not trying to be a dick here, but be original.
Your grossly over estimateing her power. I understand that she had the element of surprise, and that threat about ending us...
. I want to see bitch sun butt, defeat an fleet while fighting demons, and a warp storm. Also is they do find this wold unclaimable, whats stoping them from blowing the planet from orbit?
Tell me, all ships have pryskers... were is he?
Three possibilitys here you forgot to swich to a dragon, I'm not understanding something, or gilda can vomit fire, and red fire in not that hot.
Corpse of a god.... HERESY!!!
The might and glory of the God-emperor is the most pure and powerful thing in existence. So what you can control one measly protostar, the God-emperor can control hundreds of true stars at the same time! We have so much military fire power we could toss our soldiers from orbit and cover the planet. You are nothing you filthy heretical daemon!
