@Kharn The Generally Swell Guy
Some are a little easier to do than others.
A basic stat line is really simple:-
—–WS-BS-S-T-W-I-A-Ld-Sv-Points
Pony-3—3–3-3-1-3-2–6–N/A–3
A unicorn gets a strength 3 AP- shot, (magical missile). Takes no psychic test to use. Costs 2 points per model
A pegasus becomes jump infantry. Costs 3 points per model.
Wonderbolts count as jetbikes, but don’t get the toughness boost (not mounted). Costs 6 points per model
Anyone wondering why I gave the ponies 2 attacks?
Just makes sense for them to rear up and kick with their front hooves.
Obviously, well known characters would get additional special rules, or slight alterations to the basic stat line.
Fluttershy for example.
Special rules:-
DAAWWW!
Fluttershy is ridiculously cute, even by pony standards. This may make opponents hesitate to shoot at her.
Fluttershy and any unit she joins has a 5+ invulnerable save.
YOU WILL NOT HURT MY FRIENDS!
If any friendly pony model is wounded in close combat, Fluttershy gets the ‘preferred enemy’ special rule against that unit.
Coward.
Fluttershy’s leadership value is reduced to 5.
Want any more? I did rules for all the main 6, and several background characters too, (Trixie, Big Mac, Cheerilee, Lyra, Octavia, Shining Armor, Cadance, and even Granny Smith. Most of these are just minor rules tweaks.
And surprise surprise, it got ANOTHER downvote.
I’m a lot happier with how part 7 is now. Should be interesting to see how the ponies and their allies deal with one of the new arrivals….
@Background Pony #DC5F
Much as my own fanfic has been downvoted, I do agree that if the established characters act wrongly, a story with them in it doesn’t work quite as well. Background characters without much of a show personality (Lyra and Octavia in my own story), can easily be used to fill in when the well known characters are being used too much, or their likely reactions would be out of character for the direction you want the story to go.
The story this picture’s from is brilliantly written, no questions there, but Twilight acts very differently to how she does in the show.
The author has tried to alleviate this discrepancy by explaining it was the traumatic experience of losing her home and everyone she cared about that wrought those changes.
Still, it’s very easy to forget that Twilight’s actually a pony when reading this. It feels very much like a Black Library novel.
@Vivacious Sun
Also I disagree. If a fanfic is to be made then it haves to make sense with the cannon. But if its a new idea in general then it can be whatever but a fanfic has to fit with the cannon.
@40kponyguy
Read the first 4 chapters.
Very well written. Loving the battle scenes there.
Fingers crossed this doesn’t join the ever-increasing pile of abandoned crossover stories.
I have a suspicion that the increased art here may have triggered a resurgence of interest in crossover stories over on fimfiction. Even if it only results in a handful of the better stories getting revised or finished, it’s a bonus.
Anyway, I’ll see if I can’t get the last picture on my fire raptor finished next week. I’ll post that when it’s done.
@Aegis Steadfast
Thanks. I’ll have a look later on.
I guess my attempt to instill a little interest in this crossover seems to be paying off. I could drown this website with in-game pictures of my pony themed army quite easily, but I suspect other fans would start to get annoyed very quickly.
I’ll just continue to upload one or two of each model as I get them finished.
@Vivacious Sun
It still bothers me really…besides if magic is heresy as the desc said then twilight is the element of heresy. So the element of heresy is murdering heretics…heresyception.
