      6. Depends on if they try to make me drink Fenrisian Ale

      I also love how the author managed to make the Wraithlord an entertaining character, as she starts the novel as this arrogant, kinda spiteful woman (like you expect Eldar to be), but, over time, ends it respecting the Hammerfuckers as worthy opponents after Malleus gave her a thorough hammering.

    I remember the times before that. I remember the Fall of Damnos where the Necrons handed the Ultras a defeat. It was pretty well written and everybody seemed to like it.
    But having the Ultra's lose was something GWS could not allow, so the Ultra's went back and defeated an awakened necron tombworld, because screw you that's why.
    Remember that whole joke of Calgar killing necron's with a AA-battery? That is something that happend in that book.

    When I first got into Warhammer in 2020, the fist mini I painted was an assault intersessor as an Ultramarine due to lack of knowledge of other legions and only having the starter paint set. I didn’t realize at the time how much people loved to hate on them. It kind of made me double down on loving them.

    Since (so far) I'm only a hobbyist, and since I'm still very inexperienced with the hobby, ultramarines are my main army since what got me into warhammer in the first place was my local games shop, which let people play video games for like 10$ an hour hence why my parents brought young me there in the first place, got a giant cutout of an ultramarine when 8th edition came out which was on display right in front of the small staircase right as you walked in. seeing this gigantic space marine that looked both futuristic yet ancient at the same time for like two years is what made me a fan. getting my first "start painting" set made me realize that this hobby was for me, and when looking into the lore further I did genuinely like what the ultramarines were all about. learning about the fandom's general attitude towards ultras did make me a bit sad at first since I was new, but now I don''t care anymore, and I've even come to like the "their Primarch's name is Rodent Guillotine" memes. plus, it does help that I'm a basic bitch who almost always likes the default options the most, or at least a slightly cooler looking version of the default option (hell my character in dark souls 3 is almost always just some normal knight looking bitch, and in Doom Eternal I almost always use the the default slayer suit.)

    I like them. 40k at its best is a story about raging against the dying of the light if you ask me. (Rylanor's last stand anyone?) And most of the Ultramarine stories I have read are a lot like that. Hell thats what Ultramar kind of is. As you mentioned characters like Ventrus have virtues they stand for even in a setting where everything seems to keep getting worse. Duty seems to be the word of the day for them.
    Besides there a realistic depiction of what you would want a super soldier to be like. Above good at war they seem to be just good citizens.

Belisarius Cawl and Yvraine worked together to fit Guilliman with his armor at the time of the 13th Black Crusade. This helped bring Guilliman out of stasis, since the armor functions as something of a life-support system to keep Fulgrim’s venom at bay.

    I’ll admit that the Ultramarines are probably one of the most competent chapters in the setting because few other people know how logistics work. HOWEVER, they aren’t my favorite because they feel just a bit too…milk toast to me. Plus they suffer from the “Posterboy effect” in my eyes, where through being the main face of the setting, the faction/character in question becomes over represented and just feel less interesting to those who dig deeper. If I were to pick a loyalist legion to be my favorite, it’d probably be the Imperial Fists because the paint job and tactics are closer my preferences rather than anything else.

    I really do like the idea of warriors who are dominant because of logistics. Such an enormous part of war that fiction seems intent on ignoring for the most part. If the 20 legions were real, it would likely be the one which focused on stuff like logistics who end up as a powerhouse.

    i would say the Ultramarines biggest plus is the flexibility of troops and administration. when a problem comes up the Ultramarines are almost certain to lose when you use a specialty fighting style against them but the second fight you will only just get away with your life and for the third not even the god emperor himself can save you. they are the quickest to learn from mistakes of all the legions/chapters. when they have a foot in the door for all aspects of war its not hard to open it further depending on the situation.

    One of my favorite Ultramarines moments is in Dark Imperium when Calgar takes the 1st Company to handle a minor rebellion on Macragge. He does this because yes it’s overkill and that’s the point, to send a message that any attempt to subvert Macragge will be met with overwhelming violence. What isn’t well reflected about them on the tabletop is that Guilliman trained them to be good citizens first and warriors second and they deal with problems through a lense of diplomacy and sending a message instead of “raaaah kill them all”. Calgar even makes a point to capture and spare the youths who rebelled because they only have good intentions at heart. If you want to get a good idea of who the Ultramarines and Guilliman really are I’d highly recommend Dark Imperium and the way Ultramar is governed there.

    To me the fact that the Ultramarines are so great make sense because they practice tactics and make sure to have a diverse skill set. Logistics and administration are what make empires, and I would prefer to have a smart but simple chapter tether than a grimderp chapter like the flesh tearers who by all account should have been censured or fallen to khorne.
    The one thing that I can see people having an issue with is the codex, which tbf it’s over 10,000 years old at this point and probably shouldn’t be as revered by the smurfs considering the ultramarines are known for adapting rather than being extremely dogmatic, but it’s still a pretty good tactical book.
    Sure the codex limiting space marines to 1000 marines may seem a bit short sighted but after the Horus Heresy the idea of having legions still around was seen absolutely stupid and rightfully so considering the destruction caused by the traitors.
    The Matt ward era is gone guys. It’s time to recognize that the ultrasmirfs are pretty decent.
