They did back in the day. They were called the Deathwing.

That'd be White Scars just an fyi, they're the more asian based culture

Jesus Christ don't know if intentionally racist or ignorantly racist.

Just stating a fact, the White Scars are based on Khanite hordes as well as being the cultural inheritors of a variety of Asian cultures.
If that makes you unhappy then take it up with their writers not a stranger on the internet just giving you facts.

The White Scars and Salamander is who you want. Both are Chapters with an "Asian" Culture influence.

While Ultra Marines are a blend of Ancient Roman Culture with Scottish stubborness... the White Scars have a decidedly "Mongolian" vibe to it. And with Mongolian we are talking Ancient Mongolia as it was when Genghis Khan had conquered a lot to most of the Asian Continent (and IIRC Genghis Khan never managed to get into India proper, because they were shielded by Tibet).

While proper White Scars are mostly Mongolian Roughrider type of deal, their successor chapters have a variety of Asian subcultures. The Desert Hawks, for example, are Desert Warfare specialists and their culture is more Pakistani, where the Jade Scorpions are more Chinese in their culture.

Vulkan's Salamander are generally first and foremost associated with Fire and Dragons, but they have a whole lot of Buddihist and Hindu Traditions. The Promethean Cult, which is core to the Salamander's have a whole host of rituals involving fire and such, much akin to Agni rituals. And much like the White Scars their Successor Chapters are also leaning into more specialized aspects of their parents culture.

Admittedly the Disciples of the Flame are a "Renegade Chapter", but they are a successor of the Salamander and lean even more heavily into the Flame aspect.

So in terms of Ethnicity the White Scars will probably fill the desire for Asian looking people (fit for North India) and more indian looking people and hindu religeous concepts for the Salamander. Though given the geneflaw of the Salamander you won't be getting the "look", just the culture.

Those were native americans, not Indians. You're making the same mistake the colonizers did.

Ultramarines are classic Rome and Greek city states, m,y lord I know you're american you have no idea about Asia. Or you're low tier trolling either way.

Their Army aesthetic is ancient rome. They have nothing to do with Greek City States. The fact that their Homeworld Macragge and names like Calgar(y) and Fennias Maxim hasn't clued you into their scottish ancestry is beyond me.

You'd think the Scottish Captain in this game might have... or the Scottish Blue color they are sporting. Because, believe it or not the Ultramarines Blue is not Ultramarine, but Azure blue like the Scottish Flag (and of course, Azure Blue and White). Of course, if you only ever deal in GW's naming conventions you probably never knew about that little detail.

Your knowledge of me is about as indepth as your knowledge of this setting, it would appear.

I am neither american, nor is english my native language.

Ahh, yeah, please do not enlighten us with details of my supposed lack of understanding. Just spew empty assertions and some ad hominem. Why bother presenting opposite information, when all you can do is insult people and simply assert they are wrong, right?

The emperor tried to recruit them, but with an average height of 166 cm, they did not meet the height criteria
