Johanhgg Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Why did you join the great hunt? Ill start. The reason i challanged myself to stop fearing painting white is because im really attracted to the warrior-poet type of force the white scars are, the sort of careless approach to life itself but When it really matters, they are a dedicated force with stunning display of martial prowess. The thought of strike and fade and the principle of destroying the for by a thousand cuts really speaks to me!

helterskelter Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Chris Wraight. Maybe inspired by Hyenadai. And a little bit of Marco Polo on Netflix. Chris did absolutely stellar work for the scars and they're my kind of loyalist. They do what's right, for the right reason, and Jaghatai has this Compassion and understanding that outstrips the other Primarchs.

Sonoftherubric21 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Chris Wraight is a huge reason, I always liked the theme of Mongolian / Asian themed marines and Jaghatai always had interested me but Wraight and how the Heresy series expanded their information really made me fall in love with them as a legion/chapter. The sense of honor, the fun they have with fighting, their "strike and fade" tactics are uniquely different compared to most other marine chapters. They are well written and actually cool versions of the space wolfs (shots fired...) and for the record; yes I get the irony in that statement given it is actually addressed in the Scars novel in a quite humorous way. Also: Jaghatai's "burn" game makes Vulkan jealous. Fulgrim never got over that. (anyone that read the Scars novel will know what I am referencing) Johanhgg and Indefragable 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357630-why-are-you-a-son-of-jaghatai/#findComment-5368846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rommel44 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Genghis Khan is one of my favorite Military Commanders when it comes to history and battle tactics and the fact they have an army based on him is awesome. That and the lore of the White Scars alone is amazing on so many ways.

Johanhgg Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Great to hear your reasons! Ive always liked the underdogs and its really appaerent that the other legions always underestimated the scars, forgot about them even. White scars seem to be a nice mix of Raven Guard, with the strike and fade-tactics, and the wolfs, with their sort of tribal behavior. Scars is like the Dothraki in game of thrones Sonoftherubric21 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357630-why-are-you-a-son-of-jaghatai/#findComment-5368963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think they have the best rules in 8th ed codex 2.0. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357630-why-are-you-a-son-of-jaghatai/#findComment-5370047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I never had the Scars on my radar. Seriously never until Scars was released. Chris did a magnificent work in fleshing them out and I fell in love with them while reading. It's because of him that they've become my fav Legion/ chapter as they're way more balanced and not "overthemed" like the Wolves, Ravens or Sallies, who all suffer from that.

Armament81 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I have always loved the Lightning Fast tactics of the chapter. But my eye had always been on the colors of the Destroyers, so when 8th came out and I wanted a fresh new army to play, Destroyers were it! So happy I can now also play them using my own tag. (Though I still just use white scars so I don't have to pay a CP for a relic of Chogaris) Zebulon 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357630-why-are-you-a-son-of-jaghatai/#findComment-5371403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1soul Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Honestly, I wanted to like them since getting into Mongol history (I explore military history in my leisure time), but there was so little lore about them pre-2012/2013, I couldn't really latch onto anything. Then Chris' Brotherhood of the Storm and Scars came out and my prayers were answered.

Rocket Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I always liked the Mongol theme and being fast, but really disliked the look of the bikes. But now with revised rules and access to GSC bikes and quads, I can have scouts bikes and attack bikes that I’m happy to look at and use. Not a fan of the forge world bikes and jet bikes, but if GW eventually release some hot looking SM jet bikes, I won’t grimace at the GSC bike mods.

Aothaine Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I always loved the biker marines. Dark Angels are cool and all, but Renegade White Scars on bikes with Chainswords! Comon! How can you say that isn't awesome!?!?!?! Then you can drop in some Daemon Princes for the anti-bigstuff.

WickedJester1013 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Rocket are you saying that you use the GSC models for conversions and counts as for white scars?

Rocket Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 @WickedJester - yes, but they are still being slowly worked on. But I would only use the GSC bikes as scouts. Power armor would look silly sitting on them. But I expect that the quads will look nice as attack bikes when done. I’ve never liked the SM bike models, which deterred me from Scars.

Zebulon Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Marines on bikes always struck me as cool, and I liked the fact that not many people picked the Scars. Hence, my first DIY chapter was the WS successor that I named Storm Gauntlets (it’s in the Liber somewhere if you care to search. Quite a bit later, I came back to real White Scars and did the whole “chopper conversion” thing with some bikes. Also, how great are The Hu... if by some chance they don’t know about our hobby they should definitely be introduced!

Taurulf Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Chris Wraight has really sucked me in. I’ve hoovered up everything’s scars related in the last six months or so. And the khans depiction so far in the siege of terra series has also made me love them.

The_son_of_Dorn Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I hope to fall in love with them one day. They are not the kind of legion i go for mainly due to my negative mental associations with the east (anime, the language strangeness the anime again.....) But from what i've read in the current posts on forums, they seem to be a legion i'd really enjoy getting into.

They always have been very underated. But with such rich background, culture and ferocity its hard not to love them. Warrior-poets!
