novels:

* BadassBiker: This is the White Scars Space Marines' entire schtick. They're pretty much Mongols on armoured bikes with machine guns.
* BearerOfBadNews: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Skall is desperate to avoid this.
* BloodMagic: The Alpha Legion uses this in ''Hunt for Voldorius''. The White Scars find bodies drained of blood.
* BodyguardBetrayal: This is how the governor died in the {{Backstory}} of ''Hunt for Voldorius''.
* ColdBloodedTorture: This is how the Alpha Legion tries to secure Malya's compliance in ''Hunt for Voldorius''.
* CombatByChampion: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Jhogai [[MoreHeroThanThou demands the right]], as company champion, to face off against the Chaos champion Nullus. [[spoiler:He loses.]]
* DamselInDistress: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', the Bloodtide tells the White Scars and Raven Guard that Malya is being subjected to being made a new Bloodtide, and begs them to rescue her.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Malya is chosen for Voldorius's equerry. They get her to obey by threatening to kill a hundred people every time she is disobedient.
* DividedWeFall: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', LaResistance splits over an assassination attempt. Later, after they (barely) manage to avoid a [[FriendOrFoe friendly fire incident]], the Raven Guard and White Scars snipe at each other with accusations of GloryHound and sneaking about.



%%* DueToTheDead

to:

%%* DueToTheDead* DueToTheDead: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', the White Scar scouts find unburied bodies and are distressed by the lack of respect for the dead; one wishes to bury the dead (even hesitating over a direct order), and his sergeant admits that they should, but they cannot.

%%* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep
%%* FireForgedFriends
%%* FriendOrFoe
%%* GetItOverWith
%%* GloryHound
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Voldorius refers to Skall solely as "the equerry".
* FireForgedFriends: We are assured in the epilogue of ''Hunt for Voldorius'' that the events of the novel formed this between the White Scars and the Raven Guard... although the last actual scene shows that the Raven Guard vanished, leaving the White Scars with plenty of questions, taking the woman who had been prisoner, and the White Scars were rather annoyed.
* FriendOrFoe: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', the Raven Guard, seeing someone arrive, discuss the possibilities -- not allies of the Chaos forces, since they arrived secretly, but they could be Chaos forces that are rivals, and they don't see any way they could be Imperial. It is fortunate that one White Scar scout made out some of the Raven Guard and voxed an abort to the Thunderbirds, and the Raven Guard intercepted it; there was nearly a fratricidal bloodbath.
* GetItOverWith: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', when Voldorius reveals he knows that Malya [[TheMole sent information to his foes]], she tells him to kill her. He reveals worse plans.
* GloryHound: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', the Raven Guard accuses the White Scars of headlong charges to glory without consideration for the grand scheme.

to:

* ICannotSelfTerminate: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', the Bloodtide tells the Raven Guard and White Scar scouts that it cannot kill itself, but they can KillItWithFire.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Voldorius taunts Malya with this: her incorruptible soul will remain intact, and she can therefore be used for his spell.
* KillItWithFire: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', the Bloodtide, [[ICannotSelfTerminate begging for death]], tells the White Scars to use fire.
* KingInTheMountain: Jaghatai Khan, primarch of the White Scars, disappeared while pursuing Dark Eldar reavers into the Webway, and his chapter believes he is still out there somewhere, ready to return when needed.
%%* ICannotSelfTerminate
LaResistance: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', on Quintus.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Kor'sarro is not sure how he recognizes that Nullus is a daemon; intuition, or maybe being near another daemon.
* TheMole: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Malya, forced to serve as Voldorius' equerry, sends information to his foes.
* MoreHeroThanThou: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Jhogai demands the right, [[CombatByChampion as company champion, to face off against the Chaos champion Nullus]]. [[spoiler:He loses.]]
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', [[TheDragon Nullus]] assures Voldorius that no one could have survived the exploding refinery.
* {{Pride}}: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Kor'sarro is warned against the sin of pride while talking with the Raven Guard captain; he manages to move from DividedWeFall to TeethClenchedTeamwork.
* {{Revenge}}: The titular ''Hunt for Voldorius'' is motivated by revenge.
* RevengeByProxy: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Nullus reports that killing a thousand people for each revolt is stopping the resistance. Later, he uses the threat on Malya to get her to serve as Voldorius's equerry.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: In ''Hunt for Voldorius'', Kholte is angry because although he managed to detect a squad of the Raven Guard, famed for their ability to hide (in time to prevent a fratricidal bloodbath), he missed the company.
