Pics of the Week: White Scars

 

The White Scars are yet another Space Marine Chapter that does not get enough attention these days. Like the pic above, there are some excellent pictures of them, and a few that fall into some of my favorite overall for Warhammer 40k.  I figured here was a good time to get them out into the open with their own Pics of the Week.

Pics of the Week happen every Tuesday where I share from my Warhammer pic library. I collect these all the time from all over, and sharing them is just fun.

The White Scars were Legion V of the original twenty Space Marine Legions of the First Founding. Their Primarch is Jaghatai Khan. During the Horus Heresy the White Scars remained loyal to the Emperor, after which they reorganized and split into Chapters. 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.
