And so it was, that when the vessel was claimed and cleansed back into worthiness, it was named the Shy Wrath in memory of the occasion. This mighty vessel proved fit to the name and to the task, teaching the enemies of man and pony that firepower is a kindness of its own.
Many laughed at the idea, others considered it heresy, but the day the little pony joined the boarding action reclaiming a lost Marine Battleship was the day all detractors were silenced. For no one could claim as many fallen enemy as she, to the glory of the Emperor!

Chaos would beg to differ, but then again I don’t speak for all the gods… And I can’t even tell what my own god is trying to say to me half the time.

True, but I don’t think they have to earn their paint scheme… Though judging from it’s size, and the fact that a pony, a pegasus no less, can fire it without breaking all the bones in their body tells me that this bolter is either for the Soroitas or Inquisition, who are just the kind of people to think that weapons need to earn paint schemes.

These are all great questions. Unfortunately, fluttershy cares not for aesthetics. Her only goal is to follow the emperors will.
I am questioning the minimal amount of paint, iconography, and other decorative/spiritual additions to that bolter, did she just grab a freshly built one out of a Mechanicus forge! Cause if so then how did she manage to grab it without being beset with angry tech-priests and/or being “asked” to hand it over for completion, cause the Mechanicus take their pseudo-religious manufacturing process very seriously.
(Perhaps she just asked my friends in the Darkmech for one, though if that were the case then why is the bolter not glowing with chaos energy and have the face of a daemon mounted to the barrel.)
