Why do you have to rank something like this? People will just get butt-hurt about it either way.

MLP guys and Chaos Tau guys, keep doing your thing man, if you enjoy it. I'm not going to play either.

Edit: Inappropriate comment removed.

The analogy is inappropriate. As made clear in the OP, the point isn't to rank suck but to ask whether conversions that (1) get the fluff "wrong" or (2) don't bother with the fluff at all are more unsettling to you.

Both are unsettling.

I don't want to see a Black Templar and Ork allied army list any more than I want to see a Kermit the Frog Space Marine.

Imagine someone tells a bad joke. And everyone else wants to be ironic, so they don't stop repeating this bad joke and rubbing it in your face. Everywhere. Then, when you point out that it's annoying, that say you're a neckbeard with no life who takes everything too seriously. And then they repeat the joke again.

That's what the MLP 40k crossover gak is.

no......

it's because people involved in two or more fandoms like to mix them. someone on here did a clone wars army because he was a big fan of star wars and wanted to have them as a 40K army. I like MLP and 40K and thought it would be funny/cool to have them as a 40K army, same goes for the blazblue themed henchmen army I'm working on. in short, people like to mix fandoms; not because they think their being witty and ironic but because their bringing together two things that they enjoy.

what your thinking of is stuff like angry marines or pretty marines, where it is all just a joke, nothing more.

But MLP fanboyism stemmed ultimately from shock value, no? A lot of the jokes like 'I'm a 28 year old Navy S.E.A.L.... and I bloomin' love My Little Pony!' Bronies ultimately found it amusing and appealing that it was acceptable to retain masculinity despite seemingly obsessing over something considered to be effeminate. It was a form of counter-culture and yet it's just descended into a new level of conformity.

Or it's just a simply Fandom, like warhammers fandom, sitcom fandom.

LOL, excellent point. Good luck to us all in 6th Edition.

Er being a part of the fandom and just liking something are two pretty different things.
