The Ultramarines

Battle Cry:
"Courage and Honour!"

Specialty: Codex Astartes

History:
-The Great Crusade-
As a First Founding Chapter, the Ultramarines have a long history dating back to before the Horus Heresy. When the Emperor landed on Macragge and met Roboute Guilliman, Roboute instantly recognized him and readily took command of the Ultramarines. During the Great Crusade, the Ultramarines won countless victories, greatly expanding the realm of the Imperium. Due to Roboute's tactical genius and brilliant administration skill, he ensured that all the worlds he took were left more prosperous than before and thus able to contribute to the Imperium.
-The Horus Heresy-
Before Horus declared his treachery against the Emperor, he had ordered the Ultramarines Legion to go to the Veridan System in Segmentum Tempestus far to the galactic south, claiming that the system was under attack by an Ork invasion force from the Ghaslakh Empire. Roboute Guilliman commanded his troops to depart at once and set course for Ultramar, so he could meet up with more of his forces and obtain supplies. Ultramar was close enough for an assault against Veridan, so Roboute ordered his Legion to assemble in the Calth System.
As Roboute and his fleets arrived at Calth, they knew something was wrong, because none of their Astropaths could get messages through the Warp and the storms were interfering with the navigation of their ships; they were blocked from the rest of the Imperium. It was at this moment that the traitor forces of the Word Bearers Legion attacked, rendering the Ultramarines unable to participate in much of the Battle for Terra.
Upon learning of the treachery, Roboute immediately set course for Terra, destroying Chaos reinforcements along the way, but arrived after the war had already been won. Because of this, the Ultramarines were one of the few Legions at full strength; thus, Roboute and his Ultramarines bore much of the burden of holding the Imperium together against aliens and Chaos forces in the aftermath of the Heresy. During this time, the Ultramarines recruited heavily from their homeworld and eventually counted for over half of the Loyalist Marines. Around a decade after the Heresy ended, the Imperium finally reached a point of stability.

"The warrior who acts out of honour cannot fail. His duty is honour itself. Even his death-if it is honourable- is a reward and can be no failure, for it has come through duty. Seek honour as you act, therefore, and you will know no fear." Robert Guillimen (4th Edition Space Marine Codex)

@DAGET1234 mad?

[borecek999]

Can anyone explain me this?: In one of the Heresey books they say this : "The space maines of Ultramarine chapter are good but just because they have strenght in numbers" But in "newer" history they send 3 ultramarines to save whole planet. Why is this so?

[DAGET1234]

The lamest and most boring of the chapters... "Oh were holly and we love kittens and butterflies". Like for the clip itself.

These guys are up there in my favorites, but I have to say the Raven Guard top them for me. But I show respect for the Ultramarines for they are the Emperor's Sword.

@jamescross25 Ha ! Kazrak(daemon prince of my army!) will grind your bones down and use it for stew. As the forces of Chaos erode at the very foundations of the Imperium, we await the time where Abaddon will lead the final crusade to trod upon the Corpse Emperor, as he is cast from his throne to be spat upon by hordes of loyal Bezerkers !

[jamescross25]
