Det är kapitlet jag fokuserar på när jag målar primaris. Jag har faktiskt varit i kontakt med deras skapare Chris Blair, det här är vad han skrev:
"The symbol stemmed from the fact that the Sons are a generally a light rapid strike force - no Devastators or heavy vehicles. I used a lot of scouts and bikers (and lost many games!). They were also known as 'Strike Force Alpha' - which retrospectively is terrible - so the symbol began as an alpha symbol going 'into' a planet... which became a bit more Turkish looking and loosely fitted with the more Eastern feel of the army. They are indeed descended from the White Scars...

Hang on... I've managed to dig out what I wrote... even if they have taken it out! Sorry for the format: The '''Sons of Jaghatai''' is a ''[[Codex Astartes]]''-compliant Loyalist [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]] created during the Fourth [[Founding]]. It is a Successor Chapter of the [[White Scars]].

The Chapter follows the rapid strike doctrine of the White Scars, combining it with a stealth approach. As such they have proportionally high numbers of Scouts, Bike Squads and other small, light troops and significantly lower numbers of Artillery and Heavy units. The chapter favours covert fighting at night or conditions of darkness, which is helped by their dark purple colour scheme.
An entirely fleet based chapter divided into smaller, autonomous divisions, the Homeworld of the The Sons of Jaghatai is thought to no longer exist. Due to the secretive nature of the Chapter's operations, there are very few records of notable battles involving the Sons of Jaghatai. Often their name is mentioned when an errant Warlord is found inexplicably terminated, or location neutralised without any trace of the attackers.
One confirmed incident attributed to the Sons of Jaghatai is the Execution of Ma'haak, Champion of Khorne. The industrial planet of Bhram had been subjected to a number of raids carried out by Ma'haak and his followers. The Bhram had requested the assistance of the Sector Governor, but none was forthcoming. The Sons of Jaghatai became aware of the incursions and dispatched a Strike Force to the planet. During one of these raids a small unit comprised entirely of Sons of Jaghatai Scouts ambushed a convoy believed to be transporting Ma'haak. Through pinpoint missile fire a number of vehicles were destroyed before the Chaos force could mount any effective retaliation, killing the Chaos Lord, his retinue and destroying a sacred banner used in fell summoning rituals. The Chaos incursion subsequently faltered without significant leadership and Bhram no longer suffered attacks from the followers of Ma'haak."
Jag har bestämt mig för att gå en turkomongolisk mischmasch med deras kultur (planerar att använda namn från
Temurriket när jag ska namnge dem), använda
orchonrunor som ursäkt att kunna använda Space Wolves bitar, Stormcast metorit-bits, och Legio Astorum "stjärnbilds" gnuggisar på dem för att ge dem lite mer karaktär än bara lila standard.
Nu gäller det bara att sitta ner och måla dem färdigt...
