I've managed to find some background information on White Scars in the Lexicanum and various other wikis, but I'm hoping to hear from someone much better informed on the chapter's background, focused primarily on Mundus Planus. I have a similar interest in the Space Wolves, but their Omnibus covers the topic rather thoroughly.

Many thanks in advance.


Iechyd da!

Agreed, White Scars are pure, uncut, Colombian awesome.

Still hoping someone shares this opinion enough to have some measure of background knowledge on the chapter.

Tried Index astartes ? Every Legion is covered there a bit.

I think the WS will also have some spotlight in a coming BL novel.

As it happens, I have not tried Index Astartes; I will certainly look into that, thank you.

And I will definitely keep an eye out for that forthcoming BL novel.


Iechyd da!

There was an Index Astartes article on the White Scars. It was in the first Index Astartes book (there are four in total). I don't think this book is available any more, but you might be able to find the article or the book bouncing around the interwebs.

The Lexicanium article is pretty good, though.

It looks like the Index Astartes books are out of print - and a damn shame, too...you hear me GW/BL?! - and so no go there, since I don't have jillions to spend on the eBay sharks. The Lexicanum was pretty good, and there may be some small amount of information in the latest Space Marines codex. I'll be digging it out later this evening.

Until then, and likely afterwards, my ears remain open.

Really a shame Index astartes isnt available.
I see your problem: the GW site sucks if you search for White scars background.

Maybe someone could help you out here if you ask some specified questions.

( i am sorry, but i dont think you want me to translate 6 pages back into english. )

Jagathai khan and his marines adopted the tactics of the nomads of chogoris ( second name of mundus planus ) which isnt
a surprise since the primarch was raised amongst those nomads.
The khan conquered his homeworld in 20 years. 6 months later, he met the emperor and accepted command over the 5th legion.
I think middle / east -asia would give a good impression of the landscape. ( russia,china ).

Yep, that's pretty much the main thrust of the information on White Scars. I was hoping there might be some extra fluff, but that should work just fine. My thanks, gentlemen.

1hadhq, I actually wouldn't mind you translating, but I won't ask since it would be a pain in the butt, I'm sure. I will say, though, that your English is much better than my German.

Moderators, I am finished with this thread.
