Everything that has a fan base has been my little ponyfied.

if it does not have a number it is not rule 22 if thats taken 44 if thats taken 66 if thats taken 88 if that is taken

I'd say it's Rule 34C

Right after 34B: If it exists, someone has made a touhou drawing of it.

Yes, you were justified.

Slightly off topic, but can you post some pictures of your Guard, they sound really cool looking.

To any who wouldn’t play an army based around MLP.....why? Does it ruin your fantasies of what your man dollies are doing on the table? I think people really need to remember this is a game and stop taking things too seriously

As to the OP, yeah that guy was out of line for saying those things. To not agree with what you were doing would have been fine but to go as far as to insult you over it.....well that was too far. As for the ork and nid players, their reactions were fine providing they were about ten

Thinking about it you should show them a few pics of my space mare-ines. I'm sure they’d love it XD

Maybe it is just me, but comic book characters that have been around for (in some cases) decades, are far less "niche" than the newest incarnation of MLP (which I've only ever heard of on Dakka - and I'm 25 so not exactly past it); certainly in the culture of people in their 20's plus.

MLP is also a huge meme/phenomena/whatever. Many, many people on the internet recognize them, it's not exactly uncommon knowledge. Examples aside, you get the point.

I dunno, to recognise something as obscure as that would require more than a little background knowledge. before I was a brony for the life of me I could not tell you what the symbol was on the flank of a neon pony or that they even had one. had they have had pics of ponies all over the tanks then sure but a cutie mark.....

Adding to the problem here, dude. His models, his paints. If it bothers you, don't play with him, but insults are unwarranted, and unnecessary.

You're right, I definitely wouldn't play against it. Not because it bothers me, but because I don't think it fits the design aesthetics that 40k is associated.

You guys seriously need to grow some thicker skin if what I'm saying counts as insults, srs.

I don't take 40k seriously, but at least the models and backstory are cool. MLP is lame and smacks of not having a childhood (amongst other things). Good for you, you like a show that caters to 12 year old girls! Not only that, but it's creepy. Strong pedo tendencies

You basically called the guy a pedophile. Last time I checked, that definitely counted. :/

But did you see OP's paint scheme? how does that not fit?

Before I start up a flamethread, but how is your army related to My Little Pony exactly? As I don't see any obvious signs of it or something...

Perhaps it's also because I'm not into MPL, but that aside...

I was talking about DPBellathrom's army with actual little ponies in powered armor.

The OP's paint scheme is actually pretty cool, I'd defo have no problems with it.
That being said, even though I think MLP is lame and should be left to the 12 year olds, what the employee did was wrong and he deserved to be fired. Bad customer service.

Yes, I saw it, and to be honest, I'd never paint my Marines that way. But what the hell am I going to say about it? Am I not going to play against a guy because his paint-job doesn't fit my 'manly-man' image of what a space marine should look like? No, that'd just be dumb. It doesn't bother me nearly that much. But even if it did, that wouldn't give me a right to say he's 'wrong' for painting them that way. His money, his time, his plastic, his paint, his decision. The fact that he likes it and gains enjoyment from it is reason enough to justify that decision.

Edit: Derp, totally screwed up. Misread the poster name, and thus, misinterperated the post. You're right, the white and gold scheme would look pretty kickin'. Certainly more in line with 40k than noise marines. Bright pink. Ew.

The color scheme.
Celestia is the Light Sun
Luna is the Dark Moon

I would SO BUY this if anyone ever make it into a mini . And people that doesnt know mlp will appreciate the design's true beauty without bias.

You should probably spoiler the first image, Luna. Just to be a little more respectful. I have no issue with it, and i don't think many people will, but if people don't like the show so much that they throw a fit over the image (which i think some of the people here will), then it might be better to spoiler it, just to keep the atmosphere less heated.

Gold And White Are Divine

In many western and European societies, the colors gold and white are associated with goodness and divinity. White and gold invoke images of Heaven and angels, and embody purity and incorruptibility — white light, when the beam is dispersed, becomes a rainbow of all colors, while gold never tarnishes, rusts or corrodes.

Thus in works of media, you're likely to see divine beings clad in white and gold. As white and gold can represent the sky as part of their association with Heaven, blue may also be featured. The deities may be associated with the colors beyond clothing, and thus have silver/white hair or have Hair of Gold, with pale or bronze skin. Even if the gods are not good, the colors will still reflect their divinity. The colors may also feature on their relics. Mortals who are connected to the gods, or wish to appear as divine figures, will also wear white and gold.

tl'dr, OP your color choice is AWESOME

Yes, you were justified. Infact i wouldn't blame you if you had slapped him across the face before you left.

What a condescending jerk. Judging you for your interest; in a GAMES WORKSHOP store??

Its not like warhammer is the golden turd as far as socially acceptable adult hobbies go.

I am genuinely angry after reading that. You would think someone in the industry would be more mature and aware of that kind of thing.

If i was the store manager i would sack him, seriously. I have 0 tolerance for intolerance.

Just a quick question but have you ever seen a film called The Big Lebowski? If you have then I won't need to explain why it isn't suitable viewing for a 12 year old girl. If you haven't then know it involves a lot of swearing, nudity, drug references, violence, the ingestion of copious amounts of White Russians etc. With this in mind I will just say that in one episode of this show which "caters to 12 year old girls" there was a cameo of some of the characters from said film, including one whose most famous line included him saying that he would put a glock up your (the place gak comes from) and pull the trigger until it went click.

It might just be me but that seems to be catering to a bit more than just 12 year old girls.

MLP is certainly not made for 12 year old girls ( or even 12 year old boys )

so implying that I'm a pedo is not an insult in your eyes?

Are you freaking kidding? He asked and the guy answered.

No, it doesn't fit my idea of a 40K aesthetic, and yes, it gives off one hell of a creepy/pedo vibe.

In your opinion clearly just like in their opinion the OP enjoys and thus is entirely entitled to paint their space mans anyway they wish and certainly ignore the gak that comes with it.
Just the same as most opinions it sounds good to yourself but others generally don't give a flying feth what you think, like you're sort of doing. This of course equally applies to my own post.

Losing to an MLP themed army would just be too painful. I'll pass on that. Unless it was an ironically themed Hipster MLP army.

Calling other posters' interest, in a kids program which is specifically written to also appeal to adults, pedophilic is a violation of rule #1.

You can have differences of opinion without insulting people, and you are expected to, and have agreed to, in return for permission to post on this site.

In the case of the OP marine scheme you wouldn't really know unless it was pointed out. I guess the lesson in the OP is no one really cares to hear about your army background in a way, don't mention it and if they figure it out cool for you I suppose.

Yes, you really should. Not everyone is going to like everything you do. Sometimes a lot of people will think what you do is stupid.

And thats ok. They are allowed to have their opinions, just as you are allowed to do whatever you want.

And if people think you're doing something stupid, it's fine for them to tell you that. Sometimes it will catch you by surprise, but using a MLP army should not be one of those times.

Well, first, no I'm not allowed to do what I want. I'm not allowed to punch the leaders of my country in the faces for being idiots for a start. And while people are entitled to their own opinions, there's no reason why I should have to listen to them tell me that say, an army of marines with with armour and purple trim called Praecones Raritas is far less manly than an army of another colour with a different name. It's not like the OP tried to use ponies as 'mareines', it's just a paint job. No reason to go apoplectic about it.

I have a Chaos Terminator Lord painted in bone and gold. Looks pretty good.

Haven't seen MLP:FiM. I don't think it's made the circuit of New Zealand yet.

I actually debated making another Chaos Marine Army based around Discord...would make a good Demon Prince.
