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.
