The WHITE SCARS Legion in the HORUS HERESY | Legion V : Origins & Lore 

The fact that the White Scars are just like "yeah some of us went traitor during the heresy but it's cool, we punished them," really makes the Dark Angels whole secrecy thing look stupid af.

Guilliman: I am the most reasonable of all the Primarchs! The Khan: _smiles to himself and nods politely_

Shoutouts to the Khan for not shitting all over the Terran-born element of his legion, like other Primarchs did.

There's something fantastic about Jaghatai khan. How he can we so thoughtful and philosophical, even poetic, but he understands the plain reality of the imperium and his role better than most other primarchs.

Fulgrim: Jaghatai, I hear you do strange things to your vehicles. Jaghatai: Fulgrim, I hear you do strange things to your sons… 🫢

For the Khagan, For the Emperor. Ride for Death, Ride for Ruin. Throat Singing and Bike engines intensifies!

Chris Wraight’s novel turned them from Space Mongols on bikes into a really compelling legion. Great video.

The White Scars were a legion I cared very little about until I started reading the novels written by Chris Wraight, that man turned them into my favorite space marine chapter/legion within a few evenings. Highly recommend anything that man writes.

Considering that horses should not carry riders whose weight exceeds about 20% of the horse's own weight, I really want to know what kind of monster they had to breed on Chogoris so that the great Khan could ride around without his mount just collapsing underneath him...

The White Scars really turn into my favourite legion the more I read and hear about them. They are not only... nice... they also think things through rather than rushing to a decision without knowing the wider picture. I really liked how they are acting in Scars and Path of Heaven.

The white scares primarch has to be one of my favorite primarchs, a Genghis Khan character fits very well in the 41st millennium

A more apt Star Trek reference for this video would be. *ahem* “KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!”

This series is great. I’m unlikely to read all of the Horus Heresy books, yet this gives a concise overview of each legion and may inspire reading specific books

EVERYONE ALWAYS FORGETS ABOUT THE WHITE SCARS!!! Im so glad you gave them some much deserved love.

Excellent overview! The White Scars have been my favorite of the 1st founding Loyalist Legions, simple because of Jaghatia Khan and his principles/ethics. Id say he is the most “Sane” or “Principally-Sound” of all the Primarchs, even more so than Robute Guilleman. If I where to be Chose/Forced to be an Astartes aspirant during the Great Crusade, I would desperately pray for the God Emperor to bless me to the White Scars! On a Side-Note; Wouldn’t it be amazing if GW/Black-Library put out a bunch of Side-Stories, or Memoirs, detailing Jaghatia-Khan’s Journey/Adventures/Endeavours throughout the Webway for the past 10-Millenia??? How he got lost for centuries travelling throughout the seemingly never-ending Webway landscape, where impossible-architectures contain infinite volumes of interior-space, and the known laws of physics become paradoxical within ever-changing (M.C. Esher)type Labyrinths. How all the “Random” skirmishes with Harlequin troupe that where in pursuit of him, coincidentally(or conveniently) lead him to the Black Library, and Cheggorach.. With it all leading up to the 41st millennia where we find out that there is a new power rising within Commorragh. Where-in rumours abound that there is an Underground Slave Revolt/Rebellion starting to grow after a recent string of House-Noble assassinations, and slave-pen Liberations.

Thanks to Chris Wraight, the White Scars are by far my favorite Legion. For the Khagan!

I was super shocked at the revelation they were one of the legions that backed Magnus at the Council of Nikaea, the White Scars went up in my estimation after that!

The White Scars are my favorite legion by far. Great video, thank you!

I really liked this entry in the series and learnt a lot about the Legion that I hadn't known before. Like I didn't know about their careful use of psykers, or that briefly mentioned respect for the land.

Hey. Just discovered the 40k universe about a month and a half ago. As a beginner, I really love your video. It's really informative and yet easy to follow and understand (which is rare with 40k universe 😅). Great job ! I just subscribed and I'm hungry for more of your nice work !

Great video Ian, I love when you show the actual pages of the black books in the video, a small detail but a sure way everyone knows it is the sourced-truth and I appreciate your research. Keep up the videos! Have a good one!

I find them crazy underrated considering they stood on Terra against the traitors. I'm sure there's a non-lore explanation to this, but it's weird how I haven't even heard of a single successor chapter to the Scars.

Jaghatai being like "I'm protecting humanity" and Sanguinius CONVINCING Dorn without an arm wrestle. The hope.

These videos are the perfect length to watch while sat on the toilet avoiding my coworkers. 👍

I cant wait for you to talk about the XXth

Wow…never really paid much attention to the White Scars. Thanks for the video!!!

I hope the next "phase" of this HH video series of yours is a legion by legion roll call of notable characters ... other than the primarchs. I know the big hitters, but I'd like to hear more about the others I haven't come across yet ... give me some ideas about who I want on the table and maybe a book or two I should read to dig in more.

That candle is almost spent!

Asides from all the noble things they did during the heresy, can I say that they are underrated just for how freaking dope their sole concept is? I mean, come on! They charge into battle riding giant motorcycles while screaming and laughing like maniacs!

Didn't know much at all about the White Scars but wow their lore is fantastic and fascinating

Woah an imperium faction that isn't totally ecocidal?

My favorite loyalist

I don't even need to watch the video to know I'll love it! Another great video!

Hey Ian, awesome series! One suggestion I have would be adding sources, so that we know what to read if we want to learn about some of the history in more detail. I understand though If you don't want to do it, it would be a lot more extra work, and you already get far less credit than you deserve for your work. Cheers!

Another stellar video. White scars are my favourite and who I'm painting my imperium magazine marines as

The fallen shall be forever remembered as the emperor's finest!

"they are always overlooked" Big time lmao. I forget they even exist some times, they don't get much love do they lol.

I love this series! You did a good job with and intro to my favourite legion!

thank you for this series. i needed to learn more heresy. great format

This has become one of my favorite lore series on RU-vid! Keep up the great work

I absolutely LOVE the star trek ref 🤣

I've been loving this series! I know so little about many of the legions that this general introduction and history is helpful to get into the lore further.

3:37 dissertation note

Can you also include the demise or current status of each Primarch in these please?

A real treat, as always! Thanks a lot!

It is always a pleasure to see more White Scars content. Thanks for the great video. For the Khan!

The White Scars are what all Astartes should be, proper analysis of the situation, thinking, and afew other things I really like, their absolutely my 3rd favorite legion

I wish I could watch all your videos on the legions right now without having to wait for releases.

Great work, keep these coming!

Damn you Ian. Every one of these you do makes me want an army of them! This is gonna hurt...

This was really informative! Awesome.

Yet another quality video! bravo Arbitor I, bravo

Jesus, how long those folks are able to live? Especially primarchs? Are they immortal?

I'm just getting into 40k and love these. Thanks for doing them.

Nice use of the TNG theme. Though it did remind me of the Bloodquest comic which did start very much as an episodic let's do Star Trek but with Space Marines, also one of them is basically Wolverine. Thankfully by the third volume set in the Eye of Terror things got significantly more interesting.

I'm really enjoying this series. Thank you for these.

Thanks for the video

Thanks for this series. Learned a lot.

Really great overview, Ian. Malevolence was a fantastic look at the White Scars. Also… was that a tactical marine in Mk6 power armor I saw?? Shocking! 😲😲

Such a great series of videos!

Another brilliant video!

When you catch yourself drifting into a Star Trek tangent. Really enjoying this series.

Great vids mate and great channel,love your content matey 👌

Very basic question, but how is a Primarch able to blend in and live alongside a normal human civilization? Aren't they 10 foot tall, immune to disease and aging, freakishly strong and quick etc...

Another great summary

Another excellent video, thank you dude!

Aw yes, this makes my week

The White Scars produced my favorite chapter in 40k: The Raptors

The Whitescars in the books dislike Dreadnoughts, if a warrior is dying, let him fly free! Don't imprison him in a coffin!

All the different cultures of the Legions and personalities of their Primarchs is wonderful storytelling! Each reader or player is bound to find at least one of the Legion that calls to them.

I don't know if there's enough to make a video this length but I'd love it if one day, at the end of this series on each of the legions, you did a video about the 'Lost Primarchs' of the II and XI legions and summarized what the lore has told us thus far

waiting for the ultaramarines, great videos buddy.

Said it before, but this series is great.

I play a Hibou Khan deck in the Horus Heresy card game. Disposable cultists generate Taints of Chaos, Taint triggers the Streak ability on bikes, bikes rack up Battle Honours and protect the cultists until I'm ready to turn them into Greater Daemons. I call it Hell On Wheels.

I really am looking forward to the alpha legion's video, but of course it's the twentieth legion! Keep the videos coming boss, I'm enjoying the hell out of them.

white scars pre heresy: guys you can use camp paterns

GW should be promoting this series prior to the new boxset launching

That's a big dollop of "noble savage" tropes in this story. It's interesting that's one of the best ways to inject some reasonableness to 40K.

How dead one would be if they would take a drink everytime Ian says "ancient" in his videos ^_^

loving these videos Ian, cannot wait for the XVII

I love these videos!

The White Scars and their primarch are the most palatable of the whole lot imo

Amazing series, can't wait to see you talk about the Night Lords.

The White Scars are the best

I didn't know much about the White Scars so I assumed they came from Attila, seeing how it's a planet defined by its horsemen.

Awesome!

Amazing! Excellent TNG reference 😂

interesting to see how the lore has evolved since 4th edition, for example the in depth descriptions of what the individual space marine legions were like BEFORE their primarchs were found, or the details about the Unification Wars on Terra

Damn, I like these guys.

Best legion, also has the most sensible of the Primarchs.

These guys don't get enough recognition for their contribution to the defense of Terra and Jaghatai is without a doubt one of the most badass Primarchs.

the khan is hands down the coolest primarch in my imo

The dark Hunters are my favorite chapter from the White scars.

My speedy Bois!

Is a lot of the pre HH lore in this from FW books? Its hard for me, not a fan of FW but it gets so much official lore.

Biker mongols? Sign me up

Don't bore us, get to the Chogoris lol that's one of my 40k jokes

The BEST boys

Best legion

Nice 👍
