Aww. That's kinda underwhelming.
Still, even Rainbow Dash has a sky-blue coat, and the chapter insignia (a lightning bolt with a feathered wing!?) is very pegasus-like.
They look like they could have been interesting if they had more lore.
Black Ships and Segggs
There is a rainbow colored noise marine of Slaaneesh on Google images. They have electric guitars that spew out sonic energy of some sort to confuse their opponents. https://images.app.goo.gl/GFeekedGmBEuqK7h7

New Poll in Warhammer 40000
What is your favorite Imperial Guard regiment?
page=poll/p=212178
For those unaware of the difference, I will add descriptions to the RMB at some point.
Also, the Lexicanum is a good source of information: https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Imperial_Guard_Regiment
You know, I find these results kind of worrying. Yes, everyone keeps saying that the Imperium is intentionally written to be dysfunctional, and isn't actually supposed to be in the right. However, the lore, and even moreso the fandom, are kinda wishy-washy about this, and frequently give the impression that they believe the Imperium's bigotry and cruelty actually is justified as necessary. It's hard to draw any other conclusions, when people just keep cheering on their absolute worst parts, first overwhelmingly voting for the Imperium over other factions, and now to the point that the winning Space Marine chapter is the one that I literally described as Space Nazis, who are genocidal even by Imperial standards.
On the other hand, the other two highest scorers were the token reasonable chapters that actually try to minimize collateral damage. I guess people like moral extremes?
And... Imperial Guard regiments? Well, let me look at TVTropes again.
...And the poll refers to everyone by abbreviations rather than their full names, so I underlined the relevant words for easy recognition.
On both the poll and TVTropes:
Armageddon Steel Legion: Mechanized infantry, making heavy use of IFVs/APCs. I think they're supposed to just be the "generic" Imperial Guard regiment, using weapons and tactics that wouldn't look too out of place on a real-life battlefield of today, or perhaps WW2. Umm, wear gas masks because they come from a heavily-polluted hive world (so why do they still need the masks when they're deployed somewhere else?). Fight Orks a lot.
Cadian Shock Troopers: No wait, these are the generic ones. They're described as generalists with broad tactical versatility but no real specialty. They do, though, have lots of experience from living living on the gates of the Eye of Terror, making them the first line of defense against Chaos.
Catachan Jungle Fighters: Guerilla warriors, particularly in jungle terrain. Come from a death world full of hostile wildlife that, for once, isn't affiliated with any of the major factions. It's just hostile wildlife.
Death Korps of Krieg: Former rebels against the Imperium who now seek atonement through honorable death in combat... or that's the official story, anyway. I highly doubt that every single one of them actually feels that way. Still, they use (or are forced to use) reckless suicide tactics, taking the most dangerous missions and paying any cost for victory. Or sometimes just performing pointless bayonet charges that serve only to get them killed.
Mordian Iron Guard: Rigid formation fighters, with iron discipline under fire. Which is a combat style that fell out of style sometime after the Napoleonic Wars, when the development of rifles and machine guns made clumping your soldiers together like that suicidally stupid, but common sense never stopped anyone in Warhammer 40000.
Tallarn Desert Raiders: Space Arabs. Specialize in guerilla tactics, but in desert rather than jungle terrain this time. Also make heavy use of tanks.
Valhallan Ice Warriors: Perhaps the most stereotypical Imperial Guard, they mostly use human wave tactics. Who needs strategy when you can just keep throwing people at the enemy? Despite the name, themed more after Soviet Russians than Vikings, though they're used to cold climates either way.
Vostroyan Firstborn: Another group who are being punished for the crimes of their distant ancestors. Family-oriented, with brotherly bonds between soldiers, and passing down masterwork weapons as heirlooms. Specialize in urban warfare (and also a bit of winter warfare).
On the poll, but not on TVTropes or only mentioned briefly in passing:
Elysian Drop Troopers: Paratroopers, specialized in rapid deployment, especially from the sky.
Praetorian Guard: Lexicanum says they use similar tactics to the Mordian Iron Guard. TVTropes says they're mostly experts at losing, fulfilling the trope of the technologically-advanced army that still gets beaten up by more-primitive savages (Orks, in this case) because of their stupid and inflexible tactics. (The disturbing part is that this implies Orks are more sensible tacticians than the Praetorians. The real-life example they're based on is the British getting clobbered by the Zulus, but that's rather racist because the real Zulus were humans defending their homeland, not senselessly-rampaging Orks, and had the home field advantage.)
Solar Auxilia: ...Who? I can't find these at all, either on TVTropes or on Lexicanum.
On TVTropes, but not on the poll:
Attilan Rough Riders: Space Huns. Cavalry. Differ from the White Scars in that they have more emphasis on melee lance charges rather than mobile ranged combat (although they probably still have some ranged weapons)... and also in that they ride actual horses.
Savlar Chem-Dogs: A penal legion, consisting of criminals sentenced to fight until they die. At least with these ones the Imperium doesn't pretend that they actually like it that way, and actually they're mostly dosed up on drugs to keep them in line. Specialize in battlefield looting and war crimes.
