Karaoghlanlar
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Karaoghlanlar, translated from Chogorian as the Dark Sons of Death, were a formation of the White Scars during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
The Karaoghlanlar consisted of squads similar to that of Legion Destroyers and answered directly to the council of Stormseers. They were deployed in combat when the utter annihilation of the enemy was required, as well as for certain ritual roles during key campaigns.[1]

Trivia
