The White Scars are a chapter of Space Marines that are basically mongols in Power Armor and on bikes, in contrast to the Space Vikings of the Space Wolves and Space Vampires of the Blood Angels. Their Primarch was known as Jaghatai Khan. Their requisite one-trick-pony is hit-and-run attacks. Due to them sweet bikes of theirs.
Organization
They are also known for their sweet mustaches and the scars they make on their faces upon induction into the chapter. Which is introduced into the chapter after Jaghatai was reunited with the 5th Legion, (ie: his legion) as he had recently united the fierce tribes of the Talksar tribesmen. Never mind that many Talksar did join the legion due to their loyalty to Jaghatai. Also, they only recruit from Jaghatai's adopted homeworld: Mundus Planus (known as Chogoris to the natives). Exactly how the badasses of the Space Wolves only recruit from Fenris. As a result, both chapters' ranks comprise solely awesome barbarians. Thus making the White Scars, along with the Space Wolves, the most dead-hard chapters in the Imperium. Aside from the Black Templars.
They also deviate from the Ultramarines' cum rag, otherwise known as the Codex Astartes. This makes them good people, as they don't take shit from the Smurfs. As a result of this, they call their chapter's Librarians 'Stormseers'. And that's pretty much it. They also have an aversion to Dreadnaughts, as they see it as immoral to place a warrior's spirit in a machine. Sorta the Grey Knights. Which makes both of them slightly heretical, as it is an honor to continue serving the EMPRAH in death. Sadly, they have drawn the ire of he who must never be named because of this.
They absolutely despise the Raven Guard because of their conflicting general tactical doctrines. While the Raven Guard prefers to lie in wait and plan out their attacks down to the letter to ensure the most efficient results are achieved when they finally start their attacks, the White Scars pretty much does the opposite and just rush in chainswords drawn and use their fast-attack specialty to overwhelm their opponents with sheer speed and force.
Their current Chapter Master, or rather, 'Great Khan' is Jubal Khan.
They probably get along well with the Attilan Rough Riders.
