If this game is supossed to take place in the future, why do they carry "madieval-ish" powered armor? Aside from the intimidation factor that a bulky and spiked metal beast would give? |

@Flutterguy
There isn't much of a better design that Human technology can pull off, And Astartes armour is much tougher than some of the armour worn by other races |
| Anonymous #254417 1 year ago |
Because it's not really science fiction. It's dark high fantasy wearing a science fiction suit. Look at it through that lens; all will make sense. |

| Flutterguy #254435 1 year ago |
I will google later to see what Astartes is but as long as the setting gives a better reason than "Because it looks cool" for mediaval weaponry and armor then it is good for me.
Anyway, Dark fantasy in space with lasers encasked in humongous metal ogres, i am okay with that |

My one complaint about anything in the Warhammer universe is that some Imperial Guard still ride horses, 38,000 years in the future.
As for the spikes on armour, Those are Trophy racks, for heads and stuff |
| Flutterguy #254486 1 year ago |
^Those imperial guards? What is their duty? The psicological effect of fighting mounted against warriors on foot (My english is bad) could explain it, but if their duty is more ceremonial than anything then could be more of an ornamental thing that ALSO gives them a little advantage in a fight
Today, most police corps in the world have mounted troops for this effect, it is great to dissamble riots, yet the horse could die from a single medium sized rock thrown at him in the head or a soft area |

@flutterguy Because it takes place in a technological dark age that just happens to be very far in the future. Thats the short answer. |

MLP?Warhammer is the most boring and weird crossover ever but oh well... that's just like... my opinion. |

Hah, Nightmare moon is Horus. |

@Princess_Celestia She was released by the Four True Powers to wreak vengeance upon the world. Who ELSE but Horus? |

@Anon, that really IS a 40K reference, I can't believe I didn't notice that before, chaos united shall free her. |

I'm looking at the gray mare with the pinke eyes and this pops into my head:
"Can't we get *somepony* to fix this holo-map? It's still tilted to the left- after *four* repair orders!" |
| Anonymous #254676 1 year ago |
Is that Failbaddon standing in front of Nightmare moon/Horus? Also why does God Empress Celestia only have Sanguinus? I thought Rogal Dorn was on Terra as well. |

Sweet Celestia's holy hooves, Y-Y-YES!!
I'm really looking forward to the finished product. |

40K is a silly universe that isn't meant the be taken seriously, as far as I can tell. Silly crossover is silly, mission accomplished? |

@676 I was assuming that was Valdor of the Custodes at Celestia's side |

How'd this get here? Hahah! XD
Maybe I'll post up the full lineart here. Still working on the colours~ ^_^ |

How did this get here indeed. You haven't even posted it up on your DA yet.
Not that I mind the early preview. |
| Anonymous #255124 1 year ago |
@857 Shes got flowing blond hair and golden armour. Not to mention she bears the mark of the blood angels. I'd say that she is Sanguinus. Sad to think that she wont survive this. |
| Anonymous #255155 1 year ago |
Basically in the 40k universe Humanity has forgotten how technology works (outside of the techpriests) and they pretty much pray to it instead of fixing it.
The medieval/Gothic design is really just rule of cool but the imperium's world view is so backasswards that you can pretty much consider them 13th century people living in the 41st century. |

@Luna
Is this.. a possibility? Or is it... the fate of this world? Does it mean... I am condemned to fail you, and lose you to the Nightmare? |
| lordpatthethird #257120 1 year ago |
I just realized the tale of the horus heresy is similar to the origin story for nighmare moon.
Hmmm. I smell fanfiction |

Ollanius Pious better be included in this somehow. We need a representative for the Equestrian Guard. |
