* AchievementsInIgnorance: Derpy delivering a letter to Warmaster Solon in person. This is despite the fact that he was in the center of his heavily-defended base at the time, which was absolutely covered in automated defensive guns, guarded by hardened soldiers 24/7, and was getting more impenetrable by the hour. She didn't even notice any of these things.



* BadVibrations: Used with Big Mac's apple juice to show that a Greater Gnarloc is stomping towards the Apple farm. For bonus points, Pinkie naturally shows up to say that she remembers this scene from [[Film/JurassicPark Draconic Park]], directed by somepony named Stephen Spielbuck.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Tellis of the Iron Warriors is simultaneously a discussed and defied example. He is certainly one of the most deadly Raptors of the 38th Company, to the point that he's a powerful Champion of Khorne and gets the Blood God's direct attention occasionally. He's also one of the Legion's worst soldiers: Tellis has no attention span, barely listens to his own side, and doesn't care for tactics beyond flying headlong into a fight.

* ReassignedToAntarctica: The 38th Companies of the Iron Warriors are suggested to be this; back in the Pre-Heresy days, the grand companies of the Iron Warriors were required by their Primarch to maintain a 38th Company dedicated to guarding their supply lines.

When the fanfic starts, the 38th Company is still the place where the Iron Warriors dump Marines too incompetent or eccentric to tolerate, but who aren't total wastes of gene-seed to simply kill.

* RageBreakingPoint: Applejack refuses to get involved with the fighting between the Tau and the Iron Warriors, and maintains that her family will also stay out of it. It takes a Great Knarloc destroying some of the Apple's orchards and literally walking through their farmhouse before she finally snaps.

EXPLOSIONS!!

Most stories about 40k can be really annoying to read due to a distinct lack of humor found within the scene. Something that is able to cause genuine forget to breath levels of laughter while still maintaining all of what you might expect from 40k is really nice to see. So even if not normally your thing this reader suggests at least taking a look at the first chapter.

Added DiffLines:

The Iron Warriors 38th Company has landed in Equestria, entrenching themselves like a barbed hook. They hunt the aliens of the Tau Empire, intent on destruction and pillage.

A small squad is dispatched on a reconnaissance mission, only to find that there is intelligent life on this world besides the feuding space-farers.

Will these improbably adorable and friendly equine aliens turn the damned warriors of Chaos from their blood-soaked path, cleansing them of their dark legacy with the magic of friendship and harmony?

No.

No, that isn't happening.

EXPLOSIONS!!
