Alpha Legion: Painting 3 - Weapon Details

Due to an unfortunate miscalculation, the blend of blues, greens, and metallics I mixed for the base color of my models has dried out. Fortunately I think I have found a suitable replacement. In the meantime, though, I have been finishing up the models that were already painted, and starting on the Destroyers (Devastators) using the Necron Tesla carbines. So, on to weapons details.

Recent information gathered by XX Legion operatives has identified a threat that may lurk within our very own ranks: Effrit Cell 1221-Rho-Gamma-Nu-Rho-Kappa.

The history and origin of Cell 1221 consists , unsurprisingly, as a collection of conflicting reports, accounts, and apocrypha. Some records place the origin of Cell 1221 as early as 830.M30, others as late as 981.M30. Legend within the XX Legion itself posits the latest founding date, 015.M31, claiming Cell 1221 to be a collection of the Primarchs' little-known bodyguards oathed to vengeance upon Guilliman and the XIII Legion after the events on Eskrador. One rumor, told as a source of humor among XX Legionnaires, is that the leader of Cell 1221 is a third, completely unknown triplet of the Twins, or in another variation really, truly is Alpharius. Thanks to the XX Legion talent for deception and misdirection, members of the Inquisition who investigate these rumors, dropped casually by XX Legionnaires to human operatives, often become terminally insane attempting to determine if there is any truth to these rumors and if that truth is even worth knowing.
