I think the thread was about actual furry and MLP armies, not ones with only tributary imaging like yours.

You need to take a picture of those models. I'd love to see it.

Ah I see, anyway, I believe that a good 50-60% of Warhammer 40k itself is the ability to make your own army and it's own fluff. I love to write background for my IG armies.

A lot of it may be out of the box, but what fun would Warhammer 40k be if people didn't think outside the box?

They already have them. Ever heard of the space wolves 13th company wulfen? From the eye of terror book.

It does me...after what he did on Prospero, I don't really care much about him or his bunch of thugs.

Then there's Bran Redmaw from IA11 'The Doom of Mymeara.' Wolf Lord of the SPEHSS WULVS, reputed to turn into a furry werewolf thing whenever he gets worked up.

If the argument is against bringing fetishes into 40k, I suppose we'll just sweep Slaanesh and all the Dark Eldar under a rug, then? Maybe the IG and Tau too, because clearly there must be a sexual innuendo there with all those big guns. Space nuns? Emperor help us, that's EXTRA FETISHEY! Frankly that debate's a bit silly when you think about it. This is just a matter of "I think this is funny/cool/different. I want to make an army around it." What's so bad about that?

If the problem is "it's not grimdark", let's be honest here. Anything can be made grimdark with the right bits, paint job, and background story. The galaxy is a big place, anyways, who's to say talking ponies wouldn't exist? Especially when you have xeno races like the Orks who grow from spores and carry a British accent, or those Jokaero MIT-graduates under employment by the Inquisition.

Ultimately the army belongs to whoever makes it, so what's the problem? If you ever come across it you're under no obligation to play against it if you don't want to, barring tournaments, if they ever get that far. So long as another person is respectable to your army, I think the same courtesy should be extended. That's hardly too much to ask, is it? I think MLP marines are weird, sure, but I won't bash the guy for having such an army, especially if it's well done. What's the point in gaming if you can't have a little fun? If you don't like it, no need to be hostile, just walk away.

tl;dr
I'm wondering if this is just the old timers getting riled up over the young bloods being different.
Opinions. They differ. You don't have to like them.
Respect. Don't be "That Guy".

Calm down. Let's be polite to each other, lest MODs come in and shut us all down.

And before anyone says I'm pro-brony and everything else, I'm not. I think it's a bit 'creepy', but to each their own. Unless of course, it's not just symbols and tributary images, but actually working bronies and furries into the fluff, in which case RAGE ensues.

you guys do know that this is a game of toy soldiers in a fictional universe right? who cares what a person converts a model to or how they paint it up. its their decision to be artistic in their own sort of way.

people raging about this and the fluff of 40k not allowing mlp armies are probably the same who rage about the transformer movies not being accurate....

Also, furrys are cannon oddly enough. They're just labeled as abhumans. Models below are old Beastmen for IG armies. Again, you don't have to like ideas to respect them.

The Inquisition has since decreed that Beastmen are no longer abhumans, but filthy mutants.

Yeah they can only generally be used with the mutant lists located in a few IA army lists.

The only decreed abhumans are the Ratlings, the Ogryn, and a few others I cannot seem to remember right now.

They do make for some nice chaos conversions though.

Beastmen existed way way way before Furries, don't tarnish their good name with the same label please.

I think it's a case of lifestyle. Of course I'd don't support MLP/40k crossovers, even though I'm a fan of both. Because it's stupid. It's like on deviantART, where there's a "Christian-"<Insert fandom> for everything. Why? What's the point? Just because you're a Christian doesn't mean you need to force-feed it into the things you like.

However, MLP is a show. It's a fandom. The pony MLP stuff is parody, satire, or just general lulz, usually. It's just someone combining two things they like for amusement. That Grey Knights MLP army? Hilariously awesome.

Whether they like it or not, furries are a subculture of sorts. Unfortunately, this defines a lot of people.

Most of us know the scary ones, the ones from which the name of 'furry' came; the fetish ones. Then there are the ones who actually believe that they're animal-people in a human body or whatever. That's the key, here.

There are also people who simply enjoy a series/franchise/whatever (ie Sonic, Star Fox, etc) that has anthros in it - some of these people define themselves as 'furries', when really they shouldn't. Some of these people are falsely labelled as being furry fetishists, too.

These people see animal-people as being 'normal' or 'better' than humans. Thus, if something is liked, it has to be brutally force-fed with their other favourite thing, no matter how well it fits or not. It's like being such a diehard Chaos Marines fan that, no matter what fandom you're in, you have to stick tentacles and warpspawn mutations all over everything, and get all worked up in a rage if someone disapproves. It's like being gay, and thus having to force absolutely everything in a setting to be gay as well, and screw common sense, I want Hive Tyrants to have gay sex! It's like TF and inflation fetish, which has to be forcefed into everything. It's like rape fetish, which has to be forcefed into the fandom by way of misinterpreting the Dark Eldar and Slaanesh.

It has to be derp, and derp derps for derps' sake.

EDIT: Yes, one part of it is that furries take themselves far too seriously. And no, the argument for taking 40k seriously does not apply - this is a 40k board. If it were a furry board, taking furriness really seriously would be much more acceptable.

AND THEN THE SPACE MARINES BECAME CRYX

We're not discussing whether they are mutants or not, in reference to the original post, I'm saying they are not furries and to not hate on them.

None required

It's the same as the Hello Kitty army(s). Sure they don't belong in the 40K universe but that's all part of the semi-trolling fun of it. And there is a double-standard with furry-hate; it's all fursuit fetishes until they come across something furry which they like, then it's fine and not weird at all.

Copying and modifying the Inquisitorial Seal is a capital crime.

***EXTERMINATUS***

Actually, I think the inquisitorial seal mutated.

This is First Company Battle-Brother Tadashi of the Blood Ravens to the local Inquisitorial Conclave. Request exterminatus fleet be sent against SDFarsight.

Both of them are heretical. They spread an aura of heresy around them making everyone a heretic.

Personaly I don't care. After 17/18 years in this hobby you see alsorts of stuff, from awesome to wtf!.
I my self am building a BattleMech type IG army, so does that make me a bad person?

Wow, this thread is just full of venom and hatred isn't it. I really don't see what the problem is with these things. I'm not a fan of furry gak, but I am a brony (yeah, I'm waiting for the apocalyptic gakstorm. Come at me bro.) and all I'm going to say to the haters is this:

Don't like it? Don't look at it. If a guy rolls in to your FLGS with an MLP army, just don't play him. Simple. Fact is, you're entitled to do whatever the heck you want with your army, a right that extends to everyone.

And let's look at this in context: It's a fictional universe about spacemans and aliens. Stop taking it so damn seriously.

No, you stop making light of our Grimdark universe and keep your goddam ponies out of it!

Or not

I am not a brony or furry, however since it is all fiction, what does it matter? Someone is taking one thing they enjoy and combining it with something else they enjoy. A hobby is for enjoyment after all. If you do not like their army, do not play it, simple. As long as their army follows a TO&E and I can understand that one model has one load out and a different model has a different load out, then so be it. The have met the requirements for a playable army and made it unique.
Again, if you do not like it, do not play them, but judging them for making the hobby fun for them is stupid.

Well sometimes it's actually nice to take fluff and background seriously, get into the atmosphere of the game and so on. It's like playing a serious videogame without taking it seriously. Sure you may have a lot of fun, but it won't have the same feeling as having a good time while taking the game seriously. Am I making any sense?

Personally I don't like either.

If I can't picture my chapter/regiment/waaaagh/kabal/warband fighting alongside or against your chapte/regiment/waaaagh/kabal/warband aboard a space hulk within the confines of the grimdark universe of the 41st millenium, it doesn't belong in our collective universe.
