# Kor'sarro Khan - Master of the Hunt, Captain of the 3rd Company3 

Is this truly from Codex SM 5? Surely it's not released yet...--Jonru 21:25, 31 August 2008 (CEST)

That seems to be rumour that is floating around. And as it is for now an unconfirmed rumour there's only one place for it -> deleted. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 22:56, 31 August 2008 (CEST)

Jaghatai Khan article has been deleted?-Ivan The God emperor

Mad Chainsaw Johnson

I saw this referenced in the list of members and it sounds like a fake name despite the citation. Is there any confirmation in the source to those who have it?--Harriticus 05:37, 9 August 2012 (CEST)

Quite late, but: he's legit. Source is a quote in WD 93 (where Rogue Trader was introduced).--Gene, Magus (talk) 17:00, 6 August 2017 (MDT)

Head Chaplain

I was listening to the What if the Emperor had a podcast and they mention that the White Scars in the 5th edition codex have a position called "Head Chaplain", someone that treats the trophy-heads that the Master of the Hunt brings. I've checked the lexi and couldn't find any hint of this position in where I would expect to find it and I do not know if this is true or not since I don't have this codex.

I would also like to add that the lexi has a contradiction about White Scar Chaplains. Clicking the Voice of the Storm link leads to the Master of Sanctity article but that article lists "High Chaplain" as the Master of Sanctity for the White Scars.--Ashendant (talk) 17:59, 5 August 2017 (MDT)

I also noticed that the Chief Stormseer leads to the Stormseer article, but that article itself has no mention of such position.--Ashendant (talk) 18:01, 5 August 2017 (MDT)
In the Space Marines Codex 5 ed., there is no information about 'head chaplain'.--Darkelf77 (talk) 23:58, 5 August 2017 (MDT)
It looks like you are correct. I asked for a quote from someone that owns it and it looks like it was a joke, based on a character keeping mispronouncing words, with High Chaplain is name of the position they described. On the other hand it looks like my other concerns were true:
  • There is no mentions of the High Chaplain on this article or their important role in the Master of the Hunt. Also it seems their position on the command table is taken by the Voice of the Storm, which is not sourced at all? In both wikis?
  • Chief Stormseer has zero mentions in the Stormseer article even who holds the title which is in this article.
  • There are no mentions of the White Scars having tribal marking on their helmets, which is something I've also confirmed.
  • The podcast also mentioned the White Scars having dreadnoughts in special circumstances(6th edition) and a few details about Quan Zhou having silver-coated heads and forests.
I guess that Podcast is a great way to find sources, but they shouldn't be assumed to be correct.--Ashendant (talk) 15:51, 6 August 2017 (MDT)

Successors

Removed "Storm Callers (Potential)" from the Successors list since the reason that's give for them being potential successors are the Storm Callers' name and symbol. By that logic should all chapter with "Blood" in their name be potential Blood Angels successors or any chapter having a wolf head as a symbol be potential Space Wolves successors. --Gamiel 10:52 26 november 2022 (CET)

Given that the Storm Callers entry had no footnote and that the Storm Callers article itself includes nothing about their ancestry their removal was the right decision. I'd like to point out however that sometimes GW itself speaks about "potential" successors so always check for this eventuality if a source is provided. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum (talk) 16:35, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
