The '''White Scars''' (known to themselves as the '''Ordu of [[Jaghatai]]'''{{Fn|26b}}), originally known as the '''Star Hunters'''{{Fn|26a}} were the '''V Legion''' of the original twenty [[Space Marine Legion]]s of the [[First Founding]]. Their [[Primarch]] is [[Jaghatai Khan]]. During the [[Horus Heresy]] the White Scars remained loyal to the [[Emperor]], after which they reorganised and split into [[Chapter]]s. 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 characterised as barbarians, they are a highly cultured Chapter, with poetry among their most respected and ancient traditions.{{Fn|18a}} [[Khorchin]], a variation of [[Gothic]], sometimes called Chogorian is spoken on the White Scars home planet.{{Fn|39}}
