White Scars

150 bytes added, 6 April
Organisation
The Chapter organisation of the White Scars reflects their home world's tribal culture; for example, [[Librarian]]s are referred to as [[Stormseer]]s. White Scars recruit from a single planet, Mundus Planus. The steppes of the world are inhabited by feuding tribes, from which are chosen the best and most promising young warriors, regardless of tribe. Once a warrior becomes a White Scar, loyalty to his tribe is replaced by loyalty to the Chapter and the Emperor. Another noted difference with the White Scars is the absence of any unit associated with military law. Unlike the [[Space Wolves]], who in the Heresy-era relied heavily on [[Consul-Opsequiari]] disciplinary officers, the White Scars never operated with any sort of disciplinary corps. Despite this, they have virtually no internal disputes or act of undisciplined behaviour.{{Fn|28a}}
===Pre-HeresyLegion===
During the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, a specialised rank of '''Noyan-Khan''' existed that was the equivalent of a [[Lord Commander (Legiones Astartes)|Lord Commander]]. There were multiple Noyan-Khans, each of whom commanded a '''Horde''', consisting of several [[Chapter]]-sized '''Brotherhoods'''.{{Fn|28a}} It is estimated that there were roughly five Hordes containing as many as 5,000 to 20,000 Marines. Each Brotherhood (or '''Minghan''', in the [[Khorchin]] language{{Fn|32a}}) was largely a mechanised unit, consisting of many [[Jetbike]]s, [[Landspeeder]]s, [[Bike]]s and other swift vehicles. In addition, many close-assault and reconnaissance formations existed within Brotherhood. Each Brotherhood also operated its own [[Keshig]], which served as both as an elite corps of bodyguards and strategic reserve intended to exploit breakthroughs.{{Fn|53}} Some Brotherhoods had highly specialist roles, such as dedicated artillery trains and reconnaissance units.{{Fn|53}} The White Scars mostly shunned [[Destroyer Marine]]s due to their enjoyment of open battle and unspoiled wilderness. However, some Destroyer cadres did exist, known as the '''[[Karaoghlanlar]]''' or the ''Dark Sons of Death''.{{Fn|28a}}
