Symbol of the Karaoghlanlar[1]

The Karaoghlanlar, translated from Chogorian as the Dark Sons of Death, were a formation of the White Scars during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]

Overview

The Karaoghlanlar fulfilled the role of Legion Destroyers and were dedicated to prescribed weapons and the utter annihilation of their foes, having certain ritual roles during key campaigns. The tactics of this cadre are considered anathema to the White Scars' way of war and were only deployed with the permission of both the Council of Stormseers and the Khan.[1]
