Silverwisp's Space Marerine April Madness (18/18 done, commence dance of joy))

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

So, I like drawing, ponies and Warhammer 40k/30k lore, so what could be more logical than a 1-month art challenge?

For those unfamiliar, in the 40k universe there were originally 18 Space Marine legions, each with a certain trait/theme.

I am gonna add a pony for each (plus a few bonus ponies) every day of this month. If you think you have a good suggestion for a pony, feel free to submit it here (there might be request in it for you).

 

So, without any further adieu, lets start off with Knight Fluttershy of the:

 

I. Legion: Dark Angels

 

 

 

C&C welcome, see you all tomorrow.

EDIT: These will not be in Legion order since I refuse to be limited in my creative expression  haven't thought about some yet.

 

Anyway, next is Trixie "Little Luna" Lulamoon of the

 

XVI. Sons of Horus

Work is kicking myass so hard its not even funny, so the regulary scheduled Rarity will be replaced by the last of my safety cushion stack, Rainbow Dash of the:

 

V. White Scars

 

[Limey 524]

Bwahahaha Angel Bunny as the watcher in the Dark? That's genius! Oh and I heard you needed suggestions? How about Spitfire as a Blood Angel, or maybe Lyra as an Iron Hand? (I don't know why, hands? It's kind of hard once you get past the obvious suggestions.)

[푸딩군 48]

I like very much the first one!

Fluttershy looks amazing with that costume O_O

and Angel looks very great too xDDDD

keep it up!

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

Argh, why is Rarity's mane such a pain to draw?

Anyway, here isLightning Dust of the 13th Great Company of te:

 

VI. Wolves of Fenris

 

Bwahahaha Angel Bunny as the watcher in the Dark? That's genius! Oh and I heard you needed suggestions? How about Spitfire as a Blood Angel, or maybe Lyra as an Iron Hand?

Thx, I got the idea halfway through drawing and wondering were to put the sword. It seemed fitting.

Suggestions go in the other thread. (I'll probably do Big Mac for the Hands though, since they are supposedly stronger than other marines)

And next is Pinkamena (because I really couldn't think of a fitting legion for regular Pinkie) of the:

 

VIII. Night Lords

Come to think of it, Sombra would make a pretty good Nighthaunter...

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

Oww, actually made this yesterday, but forgot to upload it.

Anyway enjoy Captain Spitfire from my favourite loyalist legion, the:

 

IX. Blood Angels

This one was really fun to draw.

I'll come to today's entry later, well, today.

And a changeling representing the sneaky, the subliminal, the one and only:

 

XX. Alpha Legion

Or is it?

As funny, as it would have been to get Lyra for this, she doesn't quite fit the bill, so here is the biggest, baddest stallions around, representing the iron tenth,the:

 

X. Iron Hands

Edited April 9, 2013 by Silverwisp the Bard

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

And here we got the finest in breaking open (hopefully) enemy fortifications, Warsmith Derpy of the:

 

IV. Iron Warriors

"I accidentally their whole outer wall."

-Warsmith Derpy at the siege of Ullanor Prime

Short update, no time for regular legion 8Soarin is up tomorrow), hail the Warmaster:

Luna Lupercal, Primarch of the XVI. Sons of Horus Luna

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

And we're back with Soarin, representing the colts in black that aren't the Deathwatch:

 

XIX. Raven Guard

 

Man, drawing stallions' heads is hard, seriously couldn't get it any better.

And another Mane Six, this time Applejack, representing the:

 

VII. Imperial Fists

Before you ask, the weapon is supposed to be a pre-heresy pattern rocket launcher,

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

And Spike representing the:

 

XVIII. Salamanders

 

This one gave me so much trouble: I went through different sizes, equipment, poses before settling on this one, its not even funny. Its Rarity's mane all over again

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

And to do proper justice to the rich character and uniqueness of the:

 

XIII. Ultramarines

...I've chosen Royal Guard No. 12.

Ba-Bum Dish!

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

And now for something completely different; Gilda representing the Legion, whose designation would arguealy make the best and name out of the 18:

 

XII. World Eaters

I really, really wanted to work a chainaxe in there, but couldn't figure out a good pose

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

And after a weekend break, wetart the new week with Lord Commander Rarity, of the most fabolous legion of them all, the:

 

III. Emperor's Children

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,354]

Oh man, I'll have to marathon the last few, so here we got Cheerilee for the:

 

XVII: Word Bearers

Little known fact: this manecut was all the rage during the Crusade.

And we got Twilight for the toughest eggheads in the 30k universe and my favourite legion, the:

 

XV. Thousand Sons

We don't need no bolter, we got mindbullets!

 

And to finish things up, Zecora representing the the legions that doesn't believe in driving places, the:

 

XIV. Death Guard

Really just because I couldn't think of anypony else and they re known to be resilient to disease.
