My favorite quote of the Ultramarines is Guilliman talking to one of his sons who's polished his armor to the point of insanity with the Primarch claiming he was trying to hard "Arkus nodded, and rested the base of the standard on the ground. ‘My lord, ’ he said. ‘I am an Ultramarine. Trying too hard is the entire point of us, isn’t it?" they may be the boy scouts of space marines, but they try to be the best and honestly they come pretty damn close.

[myselfnoone]

I like that in Ultramar everything is named after Hera. Meaning Guilliman is naming everything after his mom.

[AutumnOnFire]

I like the Ultramarines because, being raised in a good-boy Catholic household, it feels so relatable that they are essentially always like, "GUYS, WTF ARE YOU DOING. THAT'S NOT WHAT DAD

_Especially Guilliman. _*_Poor Good-boy Guilliman._*

[timconner]

Wasn't there a story where one Ultramarine had his arm chopped off and was getting chewed out by his Sargeant for sloppiness for losing an arm only for the guy to go "I didn't lose it, its right over there."

Narrator: Each and every battle brother, a beacon of nobility

[judyfps]

I nearly spat out my drink when hearing Robotic GuiltyCan declare his (lack of) dexterity his worst enemy. The man who has fought the legions of hell, died multiple times and survived the total vacuum of space; mentally defeated by his lack of dexterity (each second he doesn’t have a giant pen in his hand, 578193 guardsman die because he couldn’t sign a piece of paper, and he knows that)

[seanread]

small correction for the bit at the start, as difficult as it is to believe nowadays, the Ultrasmurfs weren't actually the coverboys for the entire length of the franchise. IIRC, in second edition the Blood Angels were the cover boys (they LOVED red in the 90s, most of the cover factions were the red ones) then the Black Templars for most of 3rd. It wasn't really until 4th edition and Matt Ward's dark presence coming to full fruition that the boys in blue really became the cover boys.

[niks]

Thank you!

As I was playing SM2, I kept thinking Titus and crew were very....nice to everyone considering the overall lore I know about. The Ultramarines being unique in that regard helps connect the dots

[bobberto]

I'm completely hooked on these lore videos. How I never heard anything about 40k is insane. Better late than never. Aside from like posters and pics of figures I had no idea how vast and interesting the world is.

[foxdavion]

Funny thing is, when I was a kid, Ultramarines lore was little more than 2 pages of text in the Codex Space Marines, with a very early 4 page story on them from White Dwarf on them during the Crusade and Horus Heresy, that was it, in fact they were never special or the poster child of the setting, they were just the chapter chosen to feature in the book art as they were the default chapter, nothing unquie at the time in the late 90s. We had far more in depth backstory on the Blood Angels, Imperial Fists, Space Wolves and Dark Angels back then. In fact, Crimson Fists and Black Templar got more attention in the past. Ot wasn't until 4th Edition in 2005 that Games Workshop decided to flesh out the Ultramarines and make them the posterchild of the setting.

MY GLORIOUS CHAPTER MASTER WE SUCCEDED IN GETTING WESHAMMER TO COMPLETE HIS DEEP DIVE!!!

[ADMG]

Almost two fucking hours of Wes talking about the Ultramarines?



Let's fucking go!

[monoclesquid]

Ultramarines more than any astartes faction understand that there is no point in subjugation if one is left with nothing but ash and ruin to rule.

[norrecvizharan]

Y'know, just from hearing the general description of them, where it went over how they were so tactically minded that they could adapt their strategies on the fly, it immediately clicked as to why they were the biggest and most well known legion. Sure, the other ones are loads more badass in particular ways, but hell hath no fury like an army that can maintain optimal efficiency regardless of their foe, and even manage to have a good level of logistics at that. Ten of them might not necessarily be able to beat ten Space Wolves in a melee brawl, but they don't have to when they're running things so smoothly that they consistently can bring in an extra thousand imperium troops as backup, and so on.

Specialized champions alone are a grand sight to behold, but there's nothing scarier than having the equivalent of a galactic nation's worth of ammunition, bodies, and weapons bearing down on something. Seems it really pays off to focus on more than just the fights themselves.

[JesBdoinItAgain]

I'd love to imagine the moment Aliens visited Earth when the humans went to extinction, the Very First thing they found is a library filled with Just 40K lore, and it scares them that they actually believe Humanity has been dealing with Gods of Chaos and other World-Destroying Aliens for the past millennia, making them extremely grateful that humanity didn't found them yet.

[renatoafonsomaiacarneiro]

Quick someone to call Iysander! Wes is hyping the Blueberry Bois!

[Tomatoes]

Are you sure Ultramarines are the best representation of space marines? Don't know much about Emperor's Children but with a name like that they gotta be a real loyal, pious, and stand-up group of dudes.

[commandodante]

taking some note for this

G-man:*declare the flimshy plastic as his enemy*
Kato: emmm are you joking my lord????

[maneman]

Ultramarines were my first big army in 40k. I built a full battle company back around 3rd edition. I'd been playing since rogue trader (over 30 years ago at this point), and had a small collection, but the 5th company was one of my biggest investments at that point. Squad markings, company marking (black rimmed shoulder pads), chapter markings (obvs), they are one of the most fun bits of my collection.

[Aerowarrier]

Okay but Ultramarine humor is fantastic, that shit is great. And honestly Guilliman and the UMs being essentially a mini Emperor and His Custodes is kinda cute. Magnus may have the most in common with Emps as the only one to realize his psychic might back then, but Guilliman seems to think the most like him. It would have been interesting to see how he adapted to the end of their war if that had had the chance to happen
