Description "Please." the xenos looked up with hopeful violet eyes.
Behind that hope was fear, however. The being that stood before it was no longer the faithful student she loved, but she was down there, somewhere.

She had to be.

"Will you accept my friendship?"

Twilight Sparkle grimaced as a thousand memories came rushing to the forefront of her mind. Memories of the old world. Of Equestria. Of her friends and the love they shared.
For years she'd been haunted by the inability to complete the phrase. She'd forgotten what friendship was. Now she remembered.

She finally opened her eyes and Celestia visibly shuddered under her glare.

"I'm sorry, Princess."

The bolt pistol clicked.

"But friendship is magic..."

--

Am I a heretic for drawing pony/40k? Maybe, but trust me when I say that it's a lot of fun-*BLAM!* This is also fueled heavily by the rule of cool. Should a xenos even be able to touch lovely commissar threads? Probably not, but I think she looks pretty darn awesome in them! If the rule of cool doesn't satisfy you, however, then my condolences. :[

Inspired by this fan-fic .

Twilight's considered a sanctioned psyker by the Imperium, so unicorn "magic" isn't what she's referring to. Oh, and this is probably best viewed on a monitor. It's a tad dark. GRIM-dark! >:]

Oh snap - that's the number three slot in the drawfriend! Thank you, guys! www.equestriadaily.com/2014/08…

'crying communists with bears playing balalaikas on top of the living Vodka dispensers'

I have no idea what a balalaika is but I want all of that. Including the living vodka dispenser.

Very nicely drawn, even if I could never see Twilight doing this or even consider shooting Celestia unless the princess had been corrupted by chaos or possessed by a daemon.

Dullahan2 In reply to Fellmoon [2015-07-29 16:21:02 +0000 UTC]

According to lore, psykers are very likely to be corrupted by the Warp due to their powers. If Celestia happened to be a psyker, she would either eventually be corrupted or possessed. Or killed by zealous Grey Knights.

Fellmoon In reply to Dullahan2 [2015-07-29 21:36:11 +0000 UTC]

Yes, but unicorns and even alicorns have been shown is quite stable magic users compared to the spellcasters of Warhammer Fantasy and the psykers of Warhammer 40k.

Out of your three suggestions the third feels to be the most likely. Honestly I feel Twilight, given her youth and inexperience compared to her mentor would have her be more likely pony for corruption or possession... along with a thirst for knowledge and drive to learn magic that would draw interest from Tzeentch. What is it that could lead Princess Celestia to be corrupted or possessed compared to her student?

JetPowerFIE In reply to Fellmoon [2015-09-29 22:30:21 +0000 UTC]

After +1k years....probably not much if nothing has yet.   Twilight however...as we saw in EQG3, she on the surface isn't immune to corruption.

They work for the God Empress

lmao... 
i mean i already compared Celestia to HIM ... but... i forgot some minor rly tincy bit that makes them quiet counter parts to one another.

Celestia loves EVERY living being... the Emperor loves his children for sure... but other species... NOT SOOOOOO MUCH :<

Which one - Space Marine? That one's sick. I also recommend Dawn of War, especially with the Firestorm Over Kuarava mod to bring it closer to codex (tabletop balancing/units).

The tabletop game itself is real expensive, though.

Dullahan2 In reply to NCMares [2015-07-29 16:22:41 +0000 UTC]

NC is right. 120$ for a small set of figures, paint, and the codex for that troop type.

Yeah Space Marine, that was fun, until I found a point
that I couldn't get past because I suck so hard at it XD
Ooo, that sounds epic! I need to check that out sometime.

Tabletop games tend to be expensive ;w;
