White Scars
Lightning-fast hunters of Chogoris, for whom war is the endless hunt.
About White Scars — Lore & How They Play
The Lore
The hunters of Chogoris, sons of Jaghatai Khan, who ride to war as their steppe ancestors did — at speed, laughing, and from a direction you didn't expect. To the White Scars war is the Great Hunt, and stagnation the only true defeat.
Lightning-white armour, red strike-markings, and a windswept scorn for anyone who fights standing still.
On the Tabletop
The fastest Space Marines on the table: advance-and-charge tricks, hit-and-run assaults and mobile firepower that punish slow or badly positioned enemies. You dictate the tempo of every game and force opponents to react to you.
The trade is fragility out of position — mistakes cost more here than in a defensive army. Move well, strike first, and never stop.
The White Scars are Jaghatai Khan's lightning-fast Space Marine Chapter: steppe-born raiders who live on bikes, speeders and the open plains, striking hard and gone before the dust settles. White armour, red trim and a hit-and-run play style make them a proper statement army.

Are White Scars Space Marines?
Yes, a First Founding Chapter, sons of the Primarch Jaghatai Khan. They play from Codex: Space Marines with their own characters.
Is white armour hard to paint?
It's easier over a grey or white primer: build up thin layers and use a wash in the recesses. The 10-colour White Scars paint set takes the guesswork out.
