Ultramarine (Warhammer 40,000 Army)In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, the Ultramarines are a chapter of elite superhuman Space Marines loyal to the Imperium of Man. In the current date of the Warhammer 40,000 setting, the Ultramarines are considered to be the greatest of all Space Marine chapters due to their unshakable loyalty, strict adherence to the Codex Astartes, and their great victories, most notably against the Tyranids. Currently Ultramarines and second founding chapters number no less then ten chapters (the Apocrypha of Skaros claims twenty-three). Founding The Ultramarines were one of the original Space Marine Legions founded by the Emperor, more than ten millennia before the current date of the setting. They were the 13th Legion to be founded and their Primarch is Roboute Guilliman. The Ultramarines are headquartered on the planet Macragge and control a vast fiefdom within the Imperium known as the Realm of Ultramar. Their current leader is Marneus Calgar. The battle cry of the chapter is "Courage and Honour". The Ultramarines were not present during the Horus Heresy - but immediately afterwards almost half of the space marines in the galxy were Ultramarines. Heraldry Ultramarine armor is predominantly blue (i.e, Ultramarine) with other colors used to differentiate membership in battle companies and veteran status. The standard Ultramarine has the edges of their shoulder pads decorated with yellow or gold and the imperial eagle on their chest the same colour.
