====Stance on Dreadnoughts====
Many outsiders have made the claim that the White Scars did not use [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]]. This is not true. Those they maintained were few and rarely seen in battle, but they did exist and held a strange position within the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]. As a warrior society uniquely bound to the fierce joys of battle and the simple pleasures of a physical existence, the eternity of silence and separation endured by those incarcerated within a Dreadnought chassis held a particular horror for the White Scars. Despite this revulsion, to be assigned to live on in a Dreadnought shell is seen as neither punishment nor as an honour, but rather somewhere in between. Dreadnoughts among the White Scars were known as the ''Uhaan Solban'', the Guardians of the Morning and Evening Stars in the Chogorian tongue. This poetic title is typical of the Legion’s tendencies and hid a rather more practical purpose. It was only the '''Akoghlanlar''', the apothecaries, and the Iron Khans of the armoury who sought them out, both to perform maintenance and for ritual reasons tied closely to their own obscure creeds.{{Fn|28a}}
Dreadnoughts are viewed in the White Scars with something resembling both pity and awe. Some of their Dreadnoughts undergo the ''Tseverle'', or re-branding. This discards their old name and takes up a new one to represent their rebirth as a towering Dreadnought. These warriors chose their own names from the great arch of the ''Baatarbish'', a monument to the Undying Heroes of the Chapter.{{Fn|40c}}
