White Tigers

"“We face greenskin invasion rimward, Eldar raiding coreward, rebellion trailing and the tendrils of a Hive Fleet incoming spinward. Situation excellent, attacking on all fronts…”"

- Captain Ferdina, Lord of the Marches

Tigers Argent is a Codex chapter found in the Golden Age of the Imperium (aka The Forging). The chapter is renowned by its efforts in Crusade for Nightshores in late-M36, during the Redemption Crusades (especially in the Angevin Crusade) and in the Smothering of Lothringen Heresy. In the late 41st millennium the chapter got badly battered by the Ork warlord Uggah Skullsmasha near the Eye of Terror and is now perilously undermanned.

Founding
As said, the Tigers Argent were found in mid-M38 as part of the 8th Founding. Long tought to be of Dark Angels bloodline, these two chapters have never confirmed their relativeness. Event now known as the Howling (401M34) had left overall number of chapters short-handed and new space marine chapters were welcome news in many places, Carollon sector being no exception. Tigers Argent were stationed in Carollon sector to secure the ever-weakening sector and prevent further degradation of sectors near and around the Carollon sector.

Nova Terra Interregnum
Usually the forming of a chapter takes around one hundred year. Still, it was not until the beginning of M35 when first sights and records of Tigers Argent were made. Mostly working in the area they were assigned to in a first place, Tigers Argent were known to fight against the raiding Eldar corsairs of Bassenheim Nebula. It is also said that the chapter had their hands full purging the far greater threat within Bassenheim Nebula.

At the beginning of M35, during the early years of Nova Terra Interregnum, one of the chapter's most renowned heroes, brother Pardis, was sent for the Deathwatch never to be seen again.

Also the Moirae Schism hit hard against the Tigers Argent. The chapter itself, had no close bonds with the Adeptus Mechanicus, was saved.

I know this isn't neccessary, but I want to point it out, that this particular chapter happens to have some official canon behind it too. 1 - Deathwatch: Rites of Battle pg. 36
