+ Who and what in the War of the False Primarch +
+ Who are these guys, anyway? Who are the goodies? + |
+ As a storm gathers, and the War of the False Primarch enters its final phase, I'm trying to put together potted summaries of each of the principal Chapters (and in theory, any other group you fancy) as a way of re-introducing the factions for hobbyists new to the project. +
+ A key theme of the project (and where much of its appeal lies) is the grey-on-grey and murky nature of the war. However, that equivocation makes getting involved harder than it needs to be – so quick hooks are important to help people dive into the deeper lore. +

+ Spotlight: Silver Stars +
Emblematic of – and indivisible from – the sole conflict in which their actions were reported, the Silver Stars were labelled ‘Pseudolegion’; the term symptomatic of the ambiguity surrounding this most enigmatic of the War’s belligerents.
Their cryptic and occluded reputation, however, belied the seemingly straightforward way in which they were said to have waged war.
+ The Silver Stars above gives an example of the sort of thing I mean – just a couple of sentences to summarise the faction's iconic identity. If you'd like to take a stab at writing one for another Chapter/faction, please pop it in the comments, and I'll try to work up a picture in the same style using what I've got. +
+ Here are some for you to start with, if you fancy a go:
