"I received the orders of my new posting immediately after the Triumph at Ullanor. We were all still heady with the excitement of the grand spectacle of it all, the grandeur of the parades, and the awe at witnessing the might of the Emperor and His sons, and my associates and I dreamt of the glorious expeditions we would embark upon, banding fantasies of our deployments between ourselves. I must attest to my dismay when I read the roster. The 189th. Explorator Fleet, headed by an unknown Rogue Trader, barely numbering two dozen craft, counting escorts, and a few hundred Astartes of the V. Legion. Still, it was a worthy deployment, and I prepared myself for the task ahead with all due haste." Excerpt from the journals of Miriama Guelli, Documentarist of the 189th. Explorator Fleet http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u490/Revnesko/WH40K/White%20Scars/DSC01999_zpsrh0itcno.jpg "Brother-Sergeant Batuhl was my first true contact with the White Scars. Although his Gothic was often strained, he did much to patiently introduce me and my fellow remembrancers to the ways of the V. Legion, and although his words were few, often deliberate and measured, he was prone to a singularly dry wit, especially on those rare occasions where we were allowed to join the Astartes on deployment" http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u490/Revnesko/WH40K/White%20Scars/DSC02009_zpsa0tetvca.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u490/Revnesko/WH40K/White%20Scars/DSC01996_zpssiw9dthg.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u490/Revnesko/WH40K/White%20Scars/DSC01994_zpsrh3shlwn.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u490/Revnesko/WH40K/White%20Scars/DSC02000_zpsisprqndo.jpg "The "Tug Arban", or Vexilia, of Batuhl's squad. Often, Chogorian designations was substituted for the usual High Gothic titles in more common usage"

WarCom Article. A good look at the updated Mark II here!

I'm about to start work on a Heresy Era White Scars force, and I want the flexibility to work on an unnamed Company (create my own, that is). Of course, I don't want to overlap with any canon. Trouble is, I'm not sure what Companies *have* been named, officially. I am reading Scars at the moment, and that seems to have one or two, but I was wondering if any of you wise folks could enlighten me on the facts.

Courtesy of Tv Tropes "During Scars, Yesugei suffers nightmares of Jaghatai battling "a spectre of the underworld on a world of ruins". After the novel's climax, the Khan is convinced Yesugei merely saw him duelling Mortarion, but Yesugei is not convinced, as in his dream, he claims he saw the Khan slain and fears he is dreaming of something still yet to come" YOU may not realize it but Uriel has met this spectre on the same underworld! If my prediction is true then Khan... Because... The White Scars are going to be ANGRY at the Necrons once they have found out the truth! Perhaps a continuance of Uriel's storyline?

Hello Brotherhood of the Khan! With more and more people playing 30k and the 8th Edition seems to make it easier, playing both, 30k and 40k I ask myself wether it's clever to choose one of the 18 Legions when starting a new Army (or the Hobby at all). Has any White Scars Player experiences with playing / mixing 30k and 40k? Or put it the other way round: It seems to me, as it would be a great Idea to choose one of the 18 Legion (especially White Scars, of course), because it's open for 30k as well as for 40k and many Minis (not all of course) could be used in both. Or did I make a mistake here? At Least that would be a good use for the ugly 30 Iron Warriors, I bought with "Burning of Prospero": Together with the Mark II Upgrade Heads from Forge World they would look really nice. Sidenote: I just noted, that Forgeworld themselves doens't care too much for the fluff, as they offert the Mark II Upgrade Kit for the White Scars together with Battle of Calth, which contains Mark IV Armours … Thanks for the Help in Advance! Ah and by the way: Is painting white Power Armour really that much more difficult than the colour schemes with black base colour?

Hey mates. More of a fluff question but it is one that has been bugging me for a bit and I was wonder if you Veteran Scars players had a better idea. Began reading the HH Books and I'm at one of the White Scars novels and I was just wondering what type of Armor they preferred or utilized for their Infantry forces. If I go WS, I plan to utilize the MK IV Outrider Bikes with the upgrade kits but Im not sure what route to go with the infantry models.

Hi all, From what I can tell via a fair amount of research, the answer to this is "no", but I thought I should ask here... has there ever been any fluff regarding when the White Scars were broken down from their post-Heresy Legion into Chapters? Specifically, details on names of marines or the character/personality of various marines and where they went ("X kinds of marines were chosen for the Rampagers, while warriors that gravitated towards a Y mindset were split off into the Destroyers", etc etc). I have close to zero knowledge of this side of GW fluff these days, and honestly just don't have the time to buy and read all the relevant source material. Any knowledge or details would be highly appreciated :)
