White Scars - Order of Battle, Era Indomitus: Despite their savage appearance and their penchant for specialised hunting tactics, the White Scars still organise themselves according to the tenets of the revised Codex Astartes. It is by the word of that sacred text that their warriors are arrayed into companies and strike forces, and take to the stars to hunt down the enemies of Mankind.Since the White Scars are a Codex-compliant Chapter, they are formed into ten companies. These so-called "brotherhoods" are each led by a Captain, who bears the ceremonial title of "Khan." The Chapter is led by the Chapter Master or "Great Khan," whocan call upon the specialist warriors of the Apothecarion, Reclusiam and Librarius atneed.Armoured support is provided by the Armoury, and by the mighty warships of the Chapter's battlefleet.The 1st Company of the White Scars, the "Spearpoint Brotherhood," is formed entirely of the Chapter's Veterans. Each has been promoted from their former company in recognition of acts of valour, bravery or skill that mark them out as a true champion of the Warhawk's sons. When deployed in force, the Spearpoint Brotherhood are a devastating formation, reaping any who stand against them like a whirlwind of blades.More often, squads of these Veterans are attached to White Scars strike forces drawn from the Battle Companies, where their wealth of experience -- and their consummate combat prowess -- can be employed to the greatest effect.Fighting alongside such paragons of the Chapter lends strength to the arms of their brothers, enabling the 1st Company to guide the sons of Jaghatai to victory in a dozen war zones at once.The 2nd through 5th Companies are the Chapter's Battle Companies. These warriors are the cutting edge of the White Scars' many offensives, and it is from their ranks that strike forces typically draw their warriors. Mobility is all-important to the commanders of these forces. Every squad has a dedicated transport vehicle of some kind, and many in the White Scars' Battle Companies ride to war on Assault Bikes.While not unheard of, it is rare for more than one company to be deployed to a single conflict -- the combined might of one hundred Space Marines is more than enough to destroy most enemies of the Imperium.Those war zones where greater strength has been required have entered the legends of the Imperium, names such as Armageddon, Vigilus and the Damocles Gulf.At the time when the Indomitus Crusade reached Chogoris during the Era Indomitus, the numbers of the White Scars' Battle Companies in particular had been depleted by the rapacious attack of the Red Corsairs. Much of the Chapter's strength had been recalled to their homeworld when the size of Huron Blackheart's invading army was made clear, though some -- such as Kor'sarro Khan's Eagle Brotherhood -- did not arrive until the assault was already underway.Other White Scars contingents, including a strike force made up of elements of the 5th Company, were unable to return to the Yasan Sector because of the roiling Warp Storms that spilled from the Great Rift. As well as being denied the opportunity to protect their homeworld, these detachments were unable to receive reinforcements -- in some cases, for several Terran years.The 6th to 9th Companies of any Codex-adherent Chapter are its Reserve Companies. It is their duty to reinforce the Battle Companies as casualties are suffered. In practical terms, this typically means that the warriors of the Reserve Companies must be attached to White Scars strike forces when they are first despatched to their ascribed war zones -- the difficulties of Warp travel mean that any hope of requesting reinforcement from companies stationed on Chogoris, or at war in another theatre, would be an uncertain one.By deploying alongside main Battle Company contingents, the battle-brothers of the reserves can plug gaps as soon as they appear, or lend direct support to an overwhelming attack. The khans must be able to respond rapidly to the threats they face, and the Reserve Companies have a key part to play in this.The 6th and 7th Companies of Reserve both consist of ten squads of battleline Space Marines, providing the White Scars with a body of mainstay warriors ready to bolster forces of every kind. While serving in the 7th Company -- the "Plainstalker Brotherhood" -- each battle-brother learns to pilot support craft such as Land Speeders.In the 6th Company, the "Hawkseye Brotherhood," they will train as a crew member in a mainstay battle tank, such as a Predator or Repulsor Executioner. All of these vehicles lend a fearsome punch to a strike force, without compromising its crucial manoeuvrability.The 8th and 9th Companies consist respectively of ten squads of close support battle-brothers and ten squads of fire support battle-brothers. Every warrior is trained to fight in a variety of combat roles while serving in each of these companies. During his time in the 9th Company, the "Stormbolt Brotherhood," an initiate may serve as, for example, an Eliminator or Hellblaster. In the 8th Company, the "Bloodrider Brotherhood," they will hone their skills in close-quarters combat and be trained to fight from the saddle of a Space Marine bike.They swiftly become proficient enough to earn the honour of serving alongside a Battle Company, where they gain a wealth of combat experience. There is a robust rivalry between the White Scars brotherhoods, so new recruits must fight well to earn the respect of their more seasoned kin.The Chapter's 10th Company is made up of neophyte battle-brothers and Vanguard Space Marines. The Neophytes are trained in the crucible of battle, and all the warriors of the 10th Company specialise in stealth rather than frontal assaults.They reconnoitre terrain ahead of White Scars strike forces, and assault outlying enemy positions. They train under the watchful tutelage of experienced Sergeants, led by the brotherhood's Master of Recruits.The following represents the order of battle of the White Scars Chapter as it stood after the Indomitus Crusade reached Chogoris:Chapter Command 	 	<a href="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/5/51/Khan_Icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20160903000011" class="image"><img
