Hi, I don't really know much about the various histories of the Space Marines. How can I find these out? Is there anyone out there who can post a new subject on this site describing the history of each of the more established chapters? I have an Ultra Marine army, and I think the idea of the White Scars is interesting because it is basically a light cavalry army for the future. The background to these armies is unknown to me.

Well, technically, the Scars are more a heavy cav unit, at least in 40k, and I'd think to a large extent in Epic. They charge things and kill them. Light cav would be more like Dark Angel Ravenwing or Eldar Saim-Hann, IMHO. Anyhoo, I'll babble about short histories of the chapters if someone else doesn't soon, but I'm short on time at the moment. |

The histories are scattered throughout the Codexs and W/D articles. Getting a hold of the Codexs would be the short answer. |

GW's Index Astartes books are also worth picking up if you can't get copies of the WDs the articles originally appeared in... |

There's an ongoing collective net project called the "40K fluff bible." The idea being to collect all the major pieces of fluff into one giant source. I'm sure if you do a Google search on it, you'll turn up several copies. I can't vouch for how much info from the individual marine chapters is in it, but it did have a bit of scarce titan legion info when I was compiling that list. Also, I'm sure there are lots of fan sites out there that will include the official background for whatever chapter the site is dedicated to. |

Thanks for your answers. Take the point on White Scars being heavy cavalry. Searching the net now for some more histories.

Like the title says.... the pdf can be found on the official website. We were looking at it today and were thinking about giving it a go... anyone else had similar thoughts? |

Only if you can play it solo....  ok, sorry, yes, I thought it would be fun, but there's no-one around. |

There is a yahoo group dedicated to people who, for various reasons, must play Wargames alone. I think it was the "Lone Wolves" was the name. Made for some interesting reading. dafrca |
