The matt ward thing is actually gw mostly throwing him under the bus. Around 4th Ed gw decided that , due to their glut of special characters, Ultramarines would get their own codex. They tasked matt ward to write it and so he did, only for last minute gw to decide that the codex needed to be the generic space marine codex. Hence it seemed like Ultramarines were getting special attention in the art and lore of the space marine book. (The grey knights were all him tho)

They have a nice color scheme, their ornamentation looks cool and they are decent at pretty much everything. Yes, they are the very definition of convention and perhaps a bit dry compared to other chapters, but you need someone to set a benchmark so that everyone else can deviate a bit and thus become cooler. (Looking at you Dark Angels, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, Black Templars, Grey Knights). It's tough being Superman (who is also blue) but you're sure glad when he shows up to a crisis situation. Same with the Ultramarines - they don't necessarily grab my attention but I wouldn't say no to their help in a warzone.

My first exposure to them was playing the Space Marine game, and one thing that always stuck with me was how Titus talked to and commented on the guardsmen. When they bowed to him he answered with "rise guardsman, you saved yourselves" and when he sees the current state of affairs he says "remarkable, a few hundred against a million orks, and they fight on". I really like how he genuinely appreciates the effort the guardsmen put in and treat them with respect.

Ultramarines have always been my favorite chapter/legion. I love the Roman aesthetic and the fact that they're genuinely heroic and good people, even if they are a bit uptight. Of course they'll never be as heroic and nice as the Salamanders but hey, nobody else will ever be at that level lol. I also think it's nice to see Guilliman, a Primarch with common sense, run things. Plus it's gotta be nice for Imperial citizens and even other Space Marine or Guardsmen groups seeing the Ultramarines show up. Knowing that not only are you getting more Space Marines, but also good battle tactics, supply lines and a food supply. And at the end of the day, someone has to be the poster boys. It might as well be the space Romans

I like the contrast they give to more specialized chapters like White Scars or Raven Guard, I can imagine something like an Ultramarines main force with Scars harrying the enemy flanks for them to be an absolute nightmare

Many situations throughout the great crusade had different legions working side by side on the battlefield for exactly that purpose. Let them all get to know and build bonds with their cousins, while diversifying and strengthening potential tactics with everyone's different specialities.

They are one of the few groups in the setting that are not total dicks and are genuinely heroic. So much so that we root for them and want them to succeed.

I'm a Black Templars fan and player, but I've come to appreciate the Ultramarines a lot more than I ever did. I never disliked them, but they just seemed like the default bland space marines. But reading books like Know no Fear, Dark Imperium, and the Sicarius omnibus really made me like them a lot. Their style, that Roman aesthetic, their lore, it's all great. Guilliman is probably my favorite Primarch as well.

well there is also the fact that the Word Bearers are their direct rival wich makes boxes like the "betrayal at calth" a litteral red Vs. blue scenario, the classic struggle.

Kinda like the Salamanders they're one of the few Space Marine chapters that aren't completely terrible and will go out of their way to fight for common humanity. Grimdark is what makes 40k great, but when there's a handful of kinda sorta good guys to root for, it serves to highlight just how horrible everything else is.

I prefer the White Scars. Partially because Jaghatai delivered some sick burns and was quite literally the only Primarch to notice from the start that the Emperor was a massive asshole on his own (Angron did notice, but that's to be expected considering that he was kidnapped and all of his friends were left to die), partially because they actually ACT like they really are space Mongols both militarily and culturally. Unlike the Ultramarines (aside from a book that they mostly treat like gospel when it was supposed to just be a collection of guidelines, when was the last time you've seen them do anything brilliant in both tactics and formations?) or the Space Wolves (if they're space Vikings, I'm CS Goto). As for the Ultramarines being underappreciated, they're lucky they weren't subject to anywhere NEAR a millionth of the crap the Lamenters deal with regularly after everything Matt Ward did to 40K.

Answers simple: most relatable. If the introductory army to your franchise is the easiest to get into it attracts more people. Every other chapter/legion or faction is a niche based on the person who likes them. If you introduce someone to a simple and basic army like the Ultramarines it gives people to opportunity to branch out not just in the hobby but lore as well

I like the Ultramarines, they're versatile, they got a cool Roman theme going on, and they were my introduction to WH40K thanks to Space Marine.

The ultra smurfs are my 2nd favorite faction, after the toaster bois. It's the scene of robot girlymans resurrection that did that for me.

Great video! There's two other in-lore reasons: First is that Guilliman authored and championed the Codex Astartes. Second is the Ultramarines - though nearly broken at Calth - still emerged from the Heresy as the largest surviving Legion. This meant it created the most successor chapters, and had the largest stocks of gene-seed to make more. Two-thirds of Chapters are Ultramarine successors for that reason!

Each chapters have their own struggle and that what makes great stories. Blood Angels struggle against their black rage gene flaw, Dark Angels struggle with their past, the Blood Raven to resist the urge to steal every catalytic converter in the near vicinity and for the Ultramarines, it's the struggle between the free thinkers of the chapter and their common rules. Outstanding figures like Captain Titus or Ventris have to fight not only against the enemies of the imperium but also against their chapter ruling to prove themselves right. It's also not easy to stay being the pain in ass of every one around like Cato Sicarius you know.

I still remember the Crimson Fists and Black Templars being the main Space Marine chapters everyone knew as a kid. It is interesting how much the Ultramarines have surpassed them.

From blue human knights for World of Warcraft, blue light sabers for Star Wars. blue on clone trooper armor for the most part. there are definitely more examples but I can't really think of them right now.

Courage and honour, friend.

I’ve been into warhammer since the rogue trader days and I remember the crimson fists were the poster boys in the beginning and blood angels were a close second. I went with ultramarines to be different back then. A few years later and man things had changed.

someone from GW was asked about this one time, their answear was that they where the fastest and easiest to paint in large batches. sorry forgot to add this was from a painting perspective

Point to add to where you said how this is an easy colour scheme to work with, many youths here in Britain get into Warhammer. Especially in the summer holidays. Schools also promote clubs for it, scouts offer a badge in painting them, and kids can even use it to progress towards a Duke of Edinburgh award. Thus with small groups of kids at a time getting into the hobby, they often start Ultramarines together as a group as the shops propose this as a good option for beginners. More than once I've popped into the local shop and seen the kids on other days with their dads who have also got into collecting, painting and playing the Ultramarines with their sons as a way to bond more.

Glad to see you covering the very practical reasons like easier photography and paint coverage. These are HUGE logistical design decisions that are honestly pretty smart for GW.

A few additions: 1) 2nd edition Codex Ultramarines called them the greatest space marines, and that snared at least one person, a buddy of mine; 2) Guilliman wrote the Codex Astartes, the text most chapters follow, and he was the one that broke up the loyalist legions; 3) the Ultramarines represented greater flexibility allowing players more freedom in canon to organize and play how they liked; 4) the Battle of Macragge allowed GW to put more emphasis on the Tyranids 5) the Ultramarines and their successors make up somewhere north of 90% of marines depending on whos writing, so making the Ultramarines poster boys is a near way for someone making a successor chapter to do their own thing with clear connection to the main protagonists. Counterpoint to those mentioned: blue and gold is the Heresy Ultramarines colour scheme, in 40k gold/yellow is meant for the 2nd Company alone, so GW kind of messed that one up by presenting all their marines as 2nd Company. It did make it easier to promote Cato Sicarius

And they have the Ultramar Auxilia for us AM/IG players to enjoy and work our regimental and brigade unit "fluff" into wonderful backgrounds. Medium gray and medium blue makes for good uniform and armor color combinations too. 😊

Gorillaman and his smurfs are like the last vestige of hope in a dark empire and galaxy. Also Ultramarines best marines!

I think their lore is also the easiest for people to get into and understand. Great to lure in new players who want to learn more, before going into the more edgy lore

Space Augustus (oddly working for Space Stalin) leading space Romans. Ultramarines were the first SM force I encountered as I cut my teeth on Chaos Gate 1998 edition. Hearing them righteously shout "The Emperor orders you to Die!" at heretic Word Bearers was thrilling. The G-man has become even more interesting in recent lore. DA, BA, IF are also great but the Ultramarines remain my sentimental favorite.

I started with 2e and I went with Dark Angels for my 2nd army (went Chaos for my first army). Yeah, making the 1st Legion look good was difficult, but SOOOOO worth it, not just for game rules, but for how awesome they look en mass.

I enjoyed the UM because of reading Uriel’s various adventures, and I think he’s a great ‘Everyman’ space marine, if such a thing exists, and it made the setting more accessible. Though, once I heard of the Blood Angels, it was over. I think GW is right to focus on them, like, narratively, they’re more interesting and they did a great job building Daunte and Mephiston’s characters.

A good friend of mine got me into Warhammer. Told me if I liked lore that you were the best. He's not here anymore. But Everytime you post a new video I play it start to finish. You and him have given me a hobby and stories to share with my children for years to come. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you majorkill!

I've been in the hobby for 20 years by now. I started way back in Edition 2. And really started with the Battle of Maccrage Box set. Ultramarines were the first Chapter i started with. Own about 1k points of Ultramarines, 1k points of Silver Skulls which are UM successor chaps and 20k points of Dark Angels when I started for a chapter that speaks to me. But no matter what everyone owns. Most started with the Blue Boys.

Lmao, the ramp up in aggression when you started talking about painting your models

Another thing that the Smurfs have over others is the ease in which it is to kitbash them into something far more roman for their look. They also have an abundance of 3rd party bits all over the place, and after painting some Sons of Horus for Horus Heresy, I feel I need a palette cleanser which would do well with roman ultramarines. that is another good point actually, they can be a great palette cleanser for experienced painters or people who are still trying to get better at their paintjobs without having to sacrifice their own main boys.

Someone who just built my first killteam phobos I chos the ultramarines because I really enjoyed gulliman and the legion after reading the dark imperium trilogy

They're the Ryu/Ken of the game- an all-arounder without no glaring weaknesses so you can play with strategies before buying a more specific army. "I want an iron fist army but Im not sure the wall of guns is for me" then try it out with your Ultramarines, same with rip n tear armies, blitz armies, etc.

Hello Majorkill, Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.

More reason to show upmost respect to the guy who showed up with decently painted White Scars chapter to play against. We need a tier list of which faction is easiest to hardest to paint them. I suspected the new Tyranid models are "simplified" due to how hard and insane to paint if they follow the original artwork years ago. So much spikes and jagged exoskeletons back then.

all those years ago, deciding what chapter i wanted to be as i felt spacemarines i could relate too in a hypothetical universe kinda way. just seeing this one artwork of the ultramarines i just was taken away, and felt like i wanted to be in that chapter, after all these years i'm still glad i wear that symbol on my shoulder, as i join my brothers in war

I think because Blue is the universal good guy colour, GW promoted the chapter that was blue for mass market appeal. The ease of painting was probably secondary; they don't need you to paint the minis to get rich, that's just cents on the dolkar

Thrilling video as always @majorkill. Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions, etc?

They aren't the main chacraters of the Dawn of War series! Glad we got the Blood Raven for that. They're a neat chapter. With them being a suspected Thousand Son successor and all.

Counterpoint to blue being easy to paint: gray and metalic colors. Both lend themselves really well to layered drybrushing and washes.

Woooo Majorkill is coming to Portugal again! You're always welcome here mate

So I had an idea for a Primaris successor chapter. *"The Hospitalers"* For the most part, they are a standard Astartes chapter, where they differ is that *Every* Hospitaler is a trained Apothecary and the chapter contains a far larger number of Apothecarys than normal. The chapter is known for protecting civilian medical facilities and fighting in battles where disease runs rampant, this of course has pitted them against the Deathguard on more than a few occasions. Their Gene seed is said to come from Ultramarine stock, however it is believed they are in fact created from Geneseed originating from Mortarion. So my question about this concept are: 1. What colour scheme would fit them? 2. What sort of units would they use in battle? 3. Would they be a run and gun or stand back and shoot kind of fighters?

The annoying thing in 4th and 5th (when I stopped following) was that outside of a few models, the Smurfs got 5-8 special character models in the base codex.

Dude, Majorkill, your Dark Angels look sick! I honestly gave up on the green scheme and just grabbed used terminators and painted them shades of tan and bone 😅

Are they? Most polls I saw on Legions rarely featured them in the top 10 (of 18). But then again, you get Space Marine paint sets designed for Ultras, decals for Ultras are standard for most packs in the standard SM line and most front artworks feature them as the standard... so they have to be the faction for all who just start and don't know better, right? But I honestly don't know if they are good or not, as I only play weird stuff, like Nurgle Night Lords with focus on leadership debuffing, etc.

It's funny because I think that sanguineous been dead and very hard to justify bringing back could also be a factor for why blood angels are secondary poster boys but not the main ones

The main reason the Ultramarines are the default legion is because Guilliman wrote the Codex Astartes; the primary battle doctrine that standardizes how space marines fight. Chapters that adhere closely to the codex are codex chapters, with the implication that all non-codex chapters are in some way eccentric or specialized.

Gulliman and the Ultramarines: *_I'm blue, dabba dee dabba die, dabba dee dabba die_*

Before the Uriel Ventris anthologies, I laughed at the Smurfs too. Now I respect Guilliman's sons.

Red (for blood angels) is also quite easy to paint, however it gets harder the more advanced you get at painting, since highlighting and using different shades of red is harder to do than blue since you have to avoid making lighter areas pink.

I think the blood angels would have been a good poster boy choice because of therye noble and heroic but have the black rage which makes them interesting and more human

I literally wanted to drink a shot each time you said "posterboys"...😂

Ultramarines have one thing the other legions really don't have without the Imperium's structure - logistics. They're the army that makes the most sense being an actual army, thus pushing them into being poster boys of this army-type game. The infantry is marked as following the book of infantry, they're generalist because they're written to be, characters actually feel like characters because they're not just s shiny troop, they're by-lore diplomats/mayors/presidents/public speakers/congress. You can easily say an Ultramarine Chaplain is the leader of a church or an Ultramarine Apothecary is a head doctor. That's who they're taught to be. Compare this with other chapters like the Raven Guard that while yes, a character is cool, they are just what their role says they are unless specified.

Hope you enjoy your trip! Also that highlighting you did actually looks pretty sick just so you know.

At least for 30K they have a really interesting story arc, going from the all-logical boyscouts to pissed off Romans.

I actually have the space marine codex book with that crimson fists art on its cover.

Ultramarines were also the largest Space Marine Legion by the end of the Horus Heresy and as such had the most successor chapters. This happened for a number reasons. 1. Guilliman's gene-seed was one of the most stable of the Loyalist Legions with only a 10% chance of mutation, which is tied with Lion El'Jonson’s and Rogal Dorn's. This ensured that Guilliman had much larger recruit number. This is in contrast to Sanguinius, Leman Russ, and Vulkan who have a gene-seed that has a 50%, 75%, and 90% chance of mutation respectively. 2. Guilliman's logistical genius ensured that he was capable of fielding larger armies then his brothers. This is in contrast with the White Scars who are incredibly scattered and thus hard to supply. 3. The Ultramarines didn’t participate in major battles that crippled the Legion. Whether it was the Drop Site Massacre with the Iron Hands, Raven Guard, and Salamanders or the Iron Cage Incident and the Imperial Fists. 4. The Ultramarines didn’t experience a massive schism like what occurred with the Dark Angels (Luther and the Fallen). 5. Supposedly, Guilliman's Legion also absorbed the remnants of the 2nd and 11th Legions after their Primarchs “disappeared”.

Would definitely like to bump into this above 0% chance, hope you would have good time in Yurop!

From my relatively limited view of the lore, GW likes to make specialized subfactions with a default so set the benchmark. There are loads of guardsemen regiments of various styles and strengths, but the Cadians are the default. Id assume something similar with fleets and titan legions but those are pretty spread out or few in number. When it comes to space marines, you have loads of different legions and chapters of different temperments, estitics, and battle tactics, Ravenguard with their stealth, Fists with their siege, and Wolves with their craziness. With that, you need someone to be the benchmark, thus the ultramarines. The the reason why they are so prominent and overpowered is because in most stories with the specialized legions, the focus was more so on the legion or chapters specialization in specific circumstances, but when you needed the focus to be more on the enemy youre fighting, youd typically need a more generalist vhapter. There are ofc plenty of cases of how this type of enemy would fight this type of space marine, like how the Nighlords mastery of the night paled to that of the dark eldar's, or how the Black Templars zealotry faired against the greenskins, but overall, if you wanted something to just fight space marines, youd likely want to math them up with the Ultramarines or their countless likeminded succesors, thus giving the blueberries much more screentime. And since the imperium has loads of plot armor, the ultramarines are likely to win many of the engagements they are going to face. Thus a compination of extra focus on them for beibg the default, coupled with the imperiums massive plot armor makes the ultramarines what they are. Also Roubute is a pretty good primarch as a character

I've been staring at the countdown timer for Big E all week. I don't get paid till tomorrow, and I'm really hoping it's on fucking time this month.

Well fuck.

Another day of Bobby G being the best primarch. Bro was the embodiment of all the emperor ever wanted

The first 40K compendium, back in Rogue Trader, was infact Ultramarines, so techniclly they where one of the original posterboys.
