Silver Star: Some things are better left (Redacted)

[hd3]

 

The Silver Stars 'Legion' are a creation of @apologist. The instigators of the War of the False Primarch and the leaders of the 11 chapter strong partisan faction that attempted to overthrow the high lords of Terra in the name of the returned primarch Volnoscere. They were opposed by the pentarchy, five chapters allowed to swell beyond the normal chapter limits and supplied by the high lords to ensure stability. Imperium Aeterna.

 

Apologist argues that the real source of the war of the false primarch setting is the consequences of the Silver Stars return on the imperium. The pseudolegion itself is more of a plot device. 

 

I disagree honestly. I feel like the mystery of the truth of the silver stars is the real core. For the record I'm firmly in the "true legion" camp returning from exile. Because Volnoscere  being a true loyal primarch and failing to restore the imperium to the emperor's original vision is the grimmest darkest thing I can imagine. It's a great setting, except in my opinion the red fish marines.

 

For this pseudo-legionary, I used a new mkii power armour body with one of the old mkii helmets from burning of prospero for that old school space marine look. For paint,  Tamiya fine light grey primer and a base coat of army painter 'mummy robes' for the initial base coat. I kinda screwed up the shoulder pad and let the paint pool up too much in one corner and now I'm trying to even it out again with more thin costs of mummy robes. I fear I might need to use thinner to clear the whole shoulder and start again.
