Really? That's weird. Worked fine on both my pc and phone. Well here's the less clean version. That first link is supposed to filter out just the sculptures, this one will give you the whole blog.
I need that others that isn't as biased as me looks at this problem i have.
In this picture, the "Deatwatch"-eqivalent should have a bolter, and the Royal(imperial)Guardsmare should have a lasgun .... but i don't know where to place the weapons!
I mean, it is a bad idea to place the firearms too close to their heads .... and even though the best place should be to put it by the "shoulderpad", i have had problems putting it there for aestetical reasons ...
But as i write this, those reasons seems to vanish ... gah! Why is my head wired in such a wierd way?
Was once trying to make a 2D action-strategy scroller based on a mix of WH40K & MLP FiM .... but is no longer.

Trial and error is the way I would do it. Try one way, if you don't like it then try another. The fact that it's 2D is a limitation, but it isn't too bad. Worse case scenario just don't put them on until they're using the weapons.

Generally, it's been accepted that 40K ponies hold their shooty weapons in harnesses on their flanks, I think. Maybe have a little animation where they pull them out for combat, so you can have flank imagery other times?

There really is no other sensible variant than to flank-mount firearms ... The question was more "Where on the flank?"
Anyway, the bolter emplacement seems to be fixed, so perhaps i can add the Hadesgaze (Deathwatch) team as well ....
Thank you, all helpful ones, though.

As long as you found a fix for it, then

Ok, so i went into town today, finally together with someone that is employed to help me "get out more".
He's quite kind and so on ... well, we met up, and i intended to check up a place where they sell computers, and we walked quite a long way to get there.
On the way, we passed a toystore, and i though "why not check it out?" ... and we checked it out.
That proved to be a really good idea ... Yes, i am now having two sets of smaller FiM-ponies, and will open those sets as i write this post.
It is the Twilight +2, and the Applejack + 2 ones.
The first i get opened (at random?) is the one with Twilight, Cadance, and Shining.
First impression: Cadance is too "cute", Twi looks a bit more "filly-like", and Shining almost looks normal in comparison.
.... They still look far better than those with synthetic hair, of course
There's a kind of "backdrop" looking like the place of the wedding, but sadly, parts of that is seperate from the backdrop, and not sturdy at all once removed from the package.
... I'll probably throw them along with the packages. Not sure if i will keep the backdrop itself, though.
Compared to my regular miniatures, they roughly equal Horse height.
......
I'm not amazed, but i like them enough to get the Rainbow Dash-set as well, and at least some other such sets, if they'd be made and i'd come across them.
... And so, the set with Applejack, Big Macintosh, and Granny Smith ...
As with the others, perhaps somewhat cuter than they should be ...
... and the backdrop and so on ...
If i will "Adept" them?
Currently, i don't think so..

Something I did for my two pony little brothers (and I totally not care 'bout them as much as how I do for my actual siblings... not at all... 9.9) and also wanted to mess with the BBFFF style.
