The Chapter is highly mobile even for Space Marines, specialising in lightning warfare and making use of [[Space Marine Bike|attack bikes]], [[Land Speeder]]s, [[Storm Talon]]s and other fast vehicles. Those mounted on bikes often make use of a special type of [[power weapon]] called a [[Power Lance]], providing the same destructive potential at a much greater range.{{Fn|2h}} Heavily-armoured forces are often left chasing after shadows while the White Scars easily outmanoeuvre to attack them at their weakest point. Constantly retreating and turning to attack again, White Scars forces prefer to attack their enemy at range, using their speed and firepower to destroy them, but are more than capable of committing their [[Assault Squad]]s in ferocious hand-to-hand fighting.{{Fn|2c}} Despite the ferocity of their assaults, the White Scars in fact employ nuanced and complex combat manoeuvres and their warriors are expected to be calm, in total control of themselves during battle.{{Fn|40c}}

Before making any assault, the White Scars carefully examine enemy strength, deployment and tactics as well as the terrain, weather and angles of attack. They treat such engagements as a hunt, and are known for their patience and emphasis on pre-battle reconnaissance. Once an enemy weakness is identified, a seamless plan of attack is forged and an attack can begin. Despite this over-arching strategy, at a squad level White Scars enjoy much tactical freedom and independence. Operational autonomy is encouraged to ensure quick reaction to threats and to prevent their foes from predicting their actions. This also leads to a great level of skill amongst warriors, who can make their own field repairs to their vehicles or carry out medical treatments.
