Jeremy V. aka The French Overlord, brings us some ideas on White Scars builds!
List 1
Bonjour World! I want to start this blog on the right track and begin this journey with the celebration of the new White Scar Codex (*cough* Space Marine Codex *cough*) . I will be posting multiple version of this Concept list at different point values as I prepare for various tournaments this fall and winter of 2013. I have owned a White Scar army since 3rd edition when the White Dwarf Adeptus Astartes Rules came out and now I get to relive my Childhood fantasy (Again!)
Enough lollygagging…

Stormseer Hataghai (Rune Priest) Chooser of the Slain (Murderous Hurricane / JAWS)

8 SM Bikes with 2 Grav Guns – 1 Atk Bike with Multimelta
8 SM Bikes with 2 Grav Guns – 1 Atk Bike with Multimelta
8 SM Bikes with 2 Grav Guns – 1 Atk Bike with Multimelta
9 Grey Hunter Marines with Flamer – Drop Pods
Stalker
Stalker
Thunderfire Cannon
The Mechanic of the List is to maximize on the current Meta through usage of the Concussive Effect and JAWS to remove the big Nasty monsters more effectively. The Chooser of the Slain are merely a counter defensive tool to prevent infiltrator to stop the scouting forward. The Rune priest also provide a large swath of Psychic Protection against Jetseer and Daemon armies.
Good morning my gentle folks of the internet! Have you heard the dark word of Light and Dark working together for our great EMPRAH!
List 2
I wanted to take this time to share another list concept for the KHAN! I call it the White & Black (Or the Black & Tan if you consider the Scars are Mongolians). The premise is to take the speed and firepower of the White Scar and give them some lawnchair scoring units as well provide the already beat stick Chapter Master even more tools at his disposal using the BT Chapter Tactic. (Re-Roll to Hit and Rending in Challenges, Crusader, Adamantium Will) in combination of the Biker Command Squad with Khan’s Warlord Power and White Scar Tactics.

Troops
3x 5men Space Marine Bike Squad with 2 Grav Guns
2x 4men Space Marine Bike Squad with 2 Meltaguns and 1 MultiMelta Attack Bike
1x 5men Space Marine Bike Squad with 2 Flamers
2x 5men Crusader Squads with Lascannon and Grav Gun
Heavy
2x Stalkers
The Command Squad + Khan + Chapter Master form a tough Deathstar but the only change I am considering is dropping the Eternal Shield for just a Regular Stormshield as it only provides Eternal Warrior on a T5 2+/3++ model which I feel only very few models have Str 10 or ID attacks. That would open up 40 points towards giving the Crusader squads some ablative wounds in the form of Neophytes or get closer to the Upgraded Banner for Hatred. The Teeth of Terra could be exchanged for a Thunderhammer also which is a likely trade off but I like the Teeth in case I have to charge big units with my 7men Command Squad which would enable the Chapter Master to have 4 Base Attacks, 1 for Charge, 1 Str4 Hammer of Wrath, +1d3 for Rampage at Str 6 AP3 and finally if I should him in a Challenge he would gain Re-Roll to hit and Rending. Khan is delegated to being the guy who gets do some more wounds. To be honest, I dont really think the Burning Blade is worth it with Hit & Run units that pack a lot of Ap 2 shooting in case you are asking why no Burning Blade. Also the USR are exchanged between the Chapter Master and the White Scar Command Squad which basically gives the Chapter Master Scout and gives the Command Squad Adamantium Will and Crusader (+1d3 inches in sweeping advances).
There is about 22 Bikes Scouting forward not counting the 5 man Flamer unit which I would typically outflank and 10 Crusader in the backfield giving me some additional fire support and lawnchair objectives for cheap. I still prefer the Stalker over the Hunter purely because they can cause 2 Grounding Test per model which I feel is more valuable in the meta.
I would think this list would do very well which is why I am taking it to DMB Brawl in 2 weekends.
FOR THE KHAN AND THE SKY FATHER!
