I made some special rules for White scars, they are in Incoming #4 IIRC. Go
and check them out. There are also special units for Iron Hands, Silver
Skulls, Flesh Eaters, Desert Lions, Mentor Legion and Raptor Legion.

I am in process of writing more complete background for Flesh Eaters and
Rainbow Warriors as well as a number of chapters I have invented myself
(Bear Claws, Crimson Suns, Death Angels, Death Knights, Vampires, White
Templars and Winter lions) but this will take a LONG time as I unfortunately
am not very skilled as a writer.
