How did Warhammer 40,000 become the symbol of pony-brutalization?

This thread is really funny to look back at after the DOOM/Animal Crossing craze

Other "War Marine/cute creature" Franchise

"ERMAHGAWD WE'RE INSECURE AS FUCK LET'S HAVE THIS GIANT SPACE MARINE MURDER THIS CUTE CREATURES IN HORRIBLE AND GRAPHIC WAYS!!!"

DOOM/Animal Crossing
"Doom Slayer is buddies with Isabelle and it's cute and weird and funny and awesome"

It's been a staple of Anime for long enough, no? Take characters who are sickeningly cute in both appearance and personality, and drop them into bloody warzones where they hack everything to pieces?

Clearly this type of thing is marketable.

Also, Fallout:Equestria, which is now a completely legal parody I.P. registered with the U.S. Copyright office.

Eh, it's no trouble, it's always nice to see a Warhammer-related thread. It does seem like there are a lot of 40k bronies, but I'm not sure why that is.

 

Here an idea; next time someone posts anti-pony 40k images, reply with this one:

 

Thanks M8. I’ll take it to some dude making a WH4K dude killing pony long ago. Gonna post this as a response

I always find this funny because the VA of Chief Thunderhooves (Scott McNeil) also voices some of the most iconic quotes from characters in the Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War games. Like this.

And also Celestia's VA (Nicole Oliver) also voices a character from the games as well.

It's really funny and I can't unhear the MLP characters from them and I love seeing the crossover comments on the videos.

Because friendship is magic. And magic is heresy.

 

I do agree that the rather graphic memes are annoying, though. Can we have a Doomguy/Isabella dynamic with the ponies and WH40K? Please?

There a game store in my neighboring county that has solely Warhammer products and is the store name.
