White Scars

The White Scars (known to themselves as the Ordu of Jaghatai), originally known as the Star Hunters, are the V Legion of the original twenty Space Marine Legions of the First Founding. Their Primarch is Jaghatai Khan. During the Horus Heresy the White Scars remained loyal to the Emperor, after which they reorganized and split into Chapters. Drawing on the tribal savagery of their homeworld, the White Scars practice a highly mobile method of warfare, tearing into their enemies with lightning-quick attacks and vanishing before a response can be made. Despite being characterized as barbarians, they are a highly cultured Chapter, with poetry among their most respected and ancient traditions. Khorchin, a variation of Gothic, sometimes called Chogorian is spoken on the White Scars home planet.
