Are there any other WH40K fans here? I'm pretty casual about it myself, but the Grimdark hopelessness of the entire setting has a kind of charm to it, plus it has pretty plausible links to other media, such as Doom, and Event Horizon, so it's fun to think about.
But what if the Emperor had succeeded? What if Horus had never turned traitor, and the Emperor had been able to fulfill his plans. Would it still have been a Grimdark universe? Maybe, just maybe, after defeating Chaos, and exalting his "children," the Emperor would have made a world like Equestria, but for humans. Think Warmsaccharine, instead of Grimdark.
I have it on good authority that Celestia is no mere pony, but a literal demigoddess, if not a full on one, and what could be more Warmsaccharine than Ponies?
Also, it's really hard to find decent pics of God-Empress Celestia. There are some of human Celestia, but very, very few of the be-hooved Celybeans. This was the best I could find on derpibooru. If you know of a better one, please share.

It is the reign of Great Celestia. For more than ten centuries the Divinity of Equestria has sat resplendently upon Her Opal Throne. She is the sovereign of ponykind by Her own will, and ruler of an entire world by the might of Her inexhaustible magic. She is a radiant beauty whose rainbow mane ebbs in an eternal, ethereal breeze. She is the font of wisdom in Her vast demesne, whose gentle guidance lifts to glory all souls with eyes to see, and ears to hear.
Yet even in Her ivory tower, the Goddess deigns to watch and protect Her children. Uncounted ponies cross between the glittering cities of Equestria, their way lit by the glorious Sun; the physical manifestation of Her will and power. The ponies, in their colorful multitudes live, laugh and prosper in the benevolent grace of Her name, across the furthest reaches of the land.
Greatest amongst Her pupils are the Adeptus Equinus: the Princesses. Hoof-picked super-ponies chosen, trained, tested, and found worthy by She Herself. They are Her comrades in benevolence: Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and now Princess Sunset Shimmer. Though few in number, they are Her gifts to ponykind, and Her plans for the future. One day, they too shall be goddesses, and spread Her incorruptible word through the infinite multiverse.
To be a pony in such times is to be blessed above all who came before. It is to live under the kindest and most benevolent despot imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Remember the power of Friendship and Magic, for so much is yet to be learned. Remember the promises of Love and Tolerance, for in Her warm, saccharine embrace, there is only PaxCelestiana.
There is no fear beneath Her hooves, only an eternity of joy and belonging, and the laughter of those with Her in their hearts.
