[Needs Citation], As Guilliman 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. Examples include: Marius Sicarus, Trajan Quintus, Romulus Maximus, Tiberias Optimar, Markus Telorian, etc. But once the XIII Legion was heavily committed and kilometres deep into the hive the trap was sprung. Sanguinius and the Blood Angels raced directly for Terra, as was their destiny, while Guilliman and Lion El'Jonson led the Ultramarines and Dark Angels in diversionary attacks against Horus' blockade. Warcry Below Guilliman and Calgar stand a magnificent gathering of Imperial heroes; the Honour Guard of the Ultramarines. In the days immediately after the fall of Cadia the Despoiler was informed by the Chaos Sorcerer Zaraphiston of a disturbing reality. He obsessed over a way to ensure that the Imperium would survive. As the Dark Angels made their final preparations to depart back to Caliban, the Lion went back to the Tuchulcha Engine's chamber. The Ultramarines are considered one of the strongest and most honoured of all the Space Marine Chapters in the Imperium of Man, and were responsible for almost single-handedly holding the Imperium together after the Horus Heresy. Forewarned of the coming xenos danger by the Inquisitor Kryptman, the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, Marneus Calgar, stood ready to face the deadly aliens, but nothing could prepare his warriors for the sheer horror of what was to come. Communities living in the midst of a death world jungle, for example, rely on total and constant cooperation just to go on existing another day and none are ever out of the sight of another. The Temple of Correction within the Fortress of Hera on Macragge; the Shrine of the Primarch, which once housed the body of Roboute Guilliman in stasis, lay within. The Psybrid nomad-vessels lashed about them with frenzied whips of elemental energy, and all around them hulls burst and ships burned, but it was too little against the unstoppable tide of ire which crashed against them. Some were little more than squad-level actions intended to seed contaminants onto Loyalist worlds or enact ritual sacrifices to destabilise the Imperial defences. These Tyrannic War Veterans make up the first and most powerful of the Chapter's reformed 1st Company, and are second to no other warriors of the Imperium because of their experience, training and upgraded Power Armour. Guilliman was mortally wounded during the battle and put into stasis thereafter by the Ultramarines, where he would remain for the next 10,000 years. The Fortress consisted of over 20 square miles of bunkers, towers, minefields, trenches, razor wire, tank traps, redoubts and a system of complex underground tunnels in the shape of an eight pointed star. As with the society Roboute Guilliman had built on Macragge, the XIII Legion under his mastery would be as ruthlessly even-handed as it was efficient, with the needs of the individual sublimated to the greater whole, but the life of the individual never spent wantonly or without purpose; for the doctrine stated that each Legionary lost weakened those who remained. Where possible Guilliman made capturing enemy warships by boarding action a priority. Auroramini.jpg 110 × 150; 10 KB In the aftermath of the Ullanor Crusade, Horus was granted the newly-created title of "Warmaster," the commander-in-chief of all the Emperor's armies who possessed command authority over all of the other Primarchs and every expeditionary fleet of the Great Crusade. The Ultramarines Legion was able to draw upon the wealth and resources of Ultramar and as such possessed extensive strategic reserves of munitions and materiel amassed over many years. The dark irony was that more than two Terran years previously, unknown and withheld from the Legion's knowledge and before the events at Septus, their Primarch had been located by the Emperor, but owing to the vagaries of the Warp, contact would not prove possible for several more standard years. The Battle of Macragge remains a great source of both sorrow and pride for the Ultramarines. In the solar decades as his Legion had gone from Compliance to Compliance, war zone to war zone, the Primarch had never stopped running continued theoretical battle scenarios against the macabre and powerful xenos, knowing that one day they would make their reappearance and that he and his Legion would be waiting. [51], Ultimately after a number of disasters, clashes between Guilliman, Sanguinius, and Lion El'Jonson, and a vision by Sanguinius that the Emperor was alive, Imperium Secundus was abolished. Ultramarine Chapter + Successor Chapters get whatever they currently have. That scheme and the mini are the ⦠Veteran Sergeant rank is indicated by a red helm with a white stripe and a white skull centred upon it. The Ultramarines' dominion over the star systems of Ultramar gives these Astartes unparalleled contact with Imperial citizenry. [31][32] To the Ultramarines, the Codex is more than a set of rules, it represents discipline and respect for order, the key virtues that separate the Ultramarines and their brethren from the Traitor Legions. The XIII Legion's armada attacked in strafing runs and protracted exchanges of broadsides, trading fire with the superior warship and accepting their own casualties as the cost of bleeding the bigger vessel dry. The Ultramarines Chapter kept control of the original centre of Ultramar, consisting of 13 local star systems, each with its own worlds and governments loyal to the Chapter. In the meantime, the Warsmith Honsou was consumed by hate for Ventris and the Ultramarines following the events on Medrengard and the destruction of his Chaos Space Marine incubation experiments. The Ultramarines recruit new Astartes from amongst the populations of all the worlds which comprise the Realm of Ultramar in the galaxy's Eastern Fringe. By the third solar decade of the Great Crusade, the XIII Legion had begun to develop a distinct character of their own. More of the gargantuan hourglass ships in turn had appeared to reinforce their fellows, and with them thousands of enslaved xenos warriors and ships, few of which were known even to the lexicanic datacores of the Imperial ships. He was preserved at the moment before death by a stasis field impervious to the decaying effects of time. This page was last edited on 29 December 2020, at 04:49. As battle raged, the Tyranids unleashed thousands of Mycetic Spores above the vital polar fortresses -- if the fortresses were taken, Macragge's guns would be silenced, and the world left defenceless. Through an arduous journey, they eventually reached Davin, the nexus of the Ruinstorm, and engaged a vast daemonic host. As far as any world could be defended, Tarsis Ultra was as secure as it could be made given the time available to its defenders. At the centre was a massive bunker intended to serve as a decoy and of no value whatsoever. Their attempts to kill him were unsuccessful as the Night Lords Primarch had laid a cunning trap. As the Ultramarines were located in the galactic east, which saw successive assaults from Tyranid Hive Fleets, the experiences that made Veterans of their warriors inevitably came from fighting those foul xenos. The Imperial Fists had fought without sleep and had long run out of ammunition before the Ultramarines found them. The defenders' gun barrels glowed red hot and jammed in spite of the arctic cold, ammunition began to run low even though the fortress had contained stockpiles intended to last for months of siege. The 12th Expeditionary Fleet was overmatched but fought on valiantly, causing one of the titanic xenos craft to fall back, strangely-coloured vapours bleeding luminously from its rent hull, but at the cost of a dozen of its own number, while the Sethaln's Thunder, at that point a burning wreck, tumbled out of control through the line of battle. Roboute Guilliman escaped from Nuceria, unable to face or even fully comprehend what both of his brothers had become through their corruption by the Ruinous Powers. From the Espandorians the Emperor learned of the existence of Macragge and the extraordinary son of the Consul Konor Guilliman, and from what He learned He knew that this child could be none other than a missing Primarch. But of all these terrible wars and heroic struggles, there is one conflict that stands above all others -- the onslaught of the Tyranid Hive Fleet Behemoth, and the Battle of Macragge in 745.M41. Conversely, the principally armoured formations of the XIII Legion who had halted the Ork advance on the ash plains of Cypra Mundi, and in doing so had saved a city of millions from a savage death, afterwards commemorated the battle by mirroring on their right pauldron the emerald light of the blazing armour borealis that had riven the skies under which they had fought. Guilliman advised Dorn against the siege, but Dorn was embittered at having lost the debate over the Codex Astartes and resented the coming division of his Legion. This spoke to Guilliman's own predilection for analysis and observation, and in this case what the Primarch saw, he studied with a relentless precision, always seeking to distil and improve upon success and exceed the originator's accomplishments by the application of his intelligence and the diligence of his Legion. Each chapter of the Legion contained ten companies each in turn of 1,000 Legiones Astartes commanded by a captain, who was responsible for the tactical deployment, efficiency and training of his warriors. In His place to command the vast forces of the Great Crusade He left Horus. When the Horus Heresy struck, Guilliman was leading his mighty Legion in a massive campaign in the galactic south. It had been during the latest of these assaults, the largest yet attempted by the Orks, that a mysterious third party had attacked both sides. Sergeant Aeonid Thiel during the Calth campaign. In contrast to the vast numbers of Space Marines in the Ultramarines Legion, the naval assets of Ultramar were more limited. In his righteous anger the Ultramarines Primarch struck Lorgar with one of his fists, battering the Word Bearers Primarch's sternum. The two Primarchs fell into a seamless, roaring duel where Lorgar and Guilliman had abandoned theirs. Within this edifice was the great marble throne of Roboute Guilliman, and upon that throne sat his still-regal body. Successor Chapters, Warlord Traits, Relics, and the Tradition of "Counts As" Successor Chapters are a core tenant of playing Space Marines. Corrupt The crusade included the deployment of 100,000 Space Marines, 8,000,000 Imperial Army troops, and thousands of Imperial starships and their support personnel. This twisted technology was a mechanism that would accelerate the development of new Traitor Marines in the laboratories under Honsou's fortress. Nearly 120,000 of the Legion's Space Marine were lost and another 28,000 rendered combat-incapable. Give your new chapter a name that will strike fear into the enemies of the Imperium and conquer the galaxy in the name of the Emperor, adding your chapter to the annals of history. An Ultramarines Astartes seconded to the Deathwatch. location and a martial organisation within the Chapter, a self-contained fiefdom behind whose titanic adamantium blast doors and sconce-lined arches the word of the Chapter Techmarines is law. Such was the death toll during the Battle of Calth, that while exact figures are impossible to obtain, it is estimated that no more than 40,000 Ultramarines were to escape Calth's system in the aftermath of the fighting, many of whom were casualties, with an indefinable number trapped beneath the surface of that ruined and radiation-wracked world. As the two Primarchs fought, Guilliman landed a glancing blow, his fist pounding across Angron's breastplate. [4a], On Eskrador Alpharius, the Alpha Legion's primarch, was apparently taken by surprise when Guilliman departed from his own strictures and led a surprise assault by his elite units on the Alpha Legion headquarters. Techmarines move to and fro from one repair cradle or arming bench to another, robes of crimson and blue draped over their power-armoured forms, their critical eyes always fixed on the work of Chapter Serfs and repair Servitors. It was amongst these formerly prosperous worlds that diseases such as the Crawling Pustulence, Eyerot, the Plague That Walks and the Oozing Pox erupted in riotous profusion after the Great Rift opened. With peace and Imperial rule restored to Pavonis, the 4th Company journeyed to the northern reaches of Segmentum Tempestus to the world of Tarsis Ultra -- a world brought into the Imperium by Roboute Guilliman himself during the early days of the Great Crusade -- and a world with a proud history of upholding the traditions of the Ultramarines. As the two Primarchs were locked in their furious life-and-death struggle, they were oblivious to the destruction being wrought around them. Word Bearers units marched, droning black hymns and chanting sermons from the Book of Lorgar, bearing corpse-strewn icons of befouled metal and bleached bones above their regiments. Order of Battle of the Ultramarines 2nd Company, "Guardians of the Temple," and "Avengers of Ultramar," following the arrival of the, Space Marine helmets frequently display rank and battle honours; red helmets, for example, are reserved for. The Space Wolves tend to disregard requests for aid from any source higher in authority than a planetary governor The Ork Warlord known as the Arch-Maniac of Cabela had seized the world, enslaving its population and defiling the holy temples of the Emperor. But the Ultramarines not only fought a void war, they also attempted to take the fight to the surface of Nuceria, for this attack was personal. Following a suicide bombing of an Astartes convoy, the Lion used the Ist Legion to establish martial law on Macragge. But in the Legions' way stood multiple Traitor fleets intended to serve as blocking forces as Horus had foreseen that this route to Terra might open for the Loyalists. Roboute Guilliman, the Primarch of the Ultramarines, set down the foundations of the Imperium's fighting forces 10,000 years ago in a mighty tome known and revered as the Codex Astartes. This would be the start of Roboute Guilliman's "Ultramar" and it would be a project of solar decades in the making, and continue to expand right up to the first treacherous blow of the Horus Heresy. The XIII Legion of Space Marines was assigned to Guilliman in short order, for the Primarch needed little urging or aid in the assimilation of knowledge of the wider galaxy, the Great Crusade and the many technological wonders of the new-born Imperium of Man. Shortly after the Heresy during the Great Scouring, the Imperial Fists laid siege to the Iron Warriors' greatest construct, the "Eternal Fortress" on the world of Sebastus IV. Only the War Hounds had proved able to resist the creatures' baleful influence, but massively outnumbered they had paid for their resistance in blood, and would have been overwhelmed regardless if huge numbers of enraged Orks, seemingly the massed forces of the entire Glortian Empire, had not swarmed into the system. Much of these accounts have of course served the role of edification for the masses and the demands of propaganda, but between the accounts, variously embellished, a number of consistent facts and themes emerge. Very occasionally, an Aspirant does manage to beat an Astartes and when this happens it is not uncommon for the individual to go on to become a legendary hero of the Chapter. Some won great victories, but the vast majority were engulfed by nightmarish phenomena and tides of malefic foes and were never seen again. Captain Titus of the Ultramarines 2rd Company faces the Orks who invaded the Forge World of Graia. With them they brought not only waves of Primaris Space Marine reinforcements for the embattled Chapters scattered across the galaxy, but also the technology and Magos Biologis Adepts required for each Space Marine Chapter to fashion their own Primaris Battle-Brothers as the war raged on. But by the time fast cruisers from the Ultramarines fleet arrived, the trail was already long cold and the planet's death bore silent witness to the Psybrids' passing. A Veteran Ultramarines Battle-Brother is therefore a deeply learned individual, schooled in every nuance of the arts of war and the wisdom of his Primarch. For the next 5 standard years, the company patrolled the northern borders of their realm, running interdiction attacks and boarding actions against any and all raiders they encountered. In his path lay a large defensive chain of hundreds of worlds manned by the Iron Warriors. [50b] During the Early Great Crusade, the Legion became known as the War-Born, referring to their disparate Terran origins that were all nonetheless forged through war. Roboute Guilliman's cold rage at his foster father's death was unstoppable. Included in this list are Expanded Universe Chapters as well as those Space Marine Chapters that have been declared Excommunicate ⦠Most important of these changes was the division of the Legions into 1,000-strong Chapters. But perhaps its most significant edict was the breaking-up of the First Founding Space Marine Legions into the smaller Chapters that exist today. By the time Horus was appointed Warmaster, the Ultramarines were by any official assessment the largest single Space Marine Legion by number of Legionaries with a considerable margin. Horus expected the Ultramarines to await the arrival of the Word Bearers who would join with the XIII Legion in prosecuting a campaign against the Ork menace. Such officers must ensure that taciturn Dark Angels work alongside hot-headed Space Wolves, that noble Blood Angels stand side-by-side with morbid Raven Guard. Guilliman shattered the attacking forces of Chaos and provided an extraordinary surge in morale for his Ultramarines and the other Loyalist forces. These abilities are grouped together as the Indomitus Discipline. Its cities had been rebuilt in glittering marble and shining steel, and the serried ranks of its armies were well-armed and well-equipped, and outfitting themselves now for operations beyond their own world. He detailed to Guilliman the story of a strange and terrible battle in which the Psybrids had managed through their mental powers to enslave a vast feral population of Orks to do battle for them against their own kind, and had sought to do the same to the Imperial defenders of Eurydice. These units are specially trained to effectively fight this particular xenos menace. This indicates the Ultramarines may be considered one of the noblest of Space Marine Chapters, fighting for not merely honour and martial pride or glory, but to protect the lives of their own people. He was placed in a stasis field for return to Macragge. He used the ancient device known as the Pharos on the world of Sotha to create a psychic beacon in the Warp capable of guiding any Loyalist Space Marine Legions lost in the disruptions of the Ruinstorm to Ultramar. Category:Space Marine Chapters Though Perturabo had not destroyed Dorn's Legion, his victory proved to be enough to earn him ascension as a Daemon Prince in the eyes of the Chaos Gods. The "Primogenitors" are those Chapters created when the original Ultramarines Legion was divided during the Second Founding. The Ultramarines returned it in kind, hungry for vengeance against the vile Traitors who had defiled Calth and damaged its star. These Legionaries of the XIII Legion wore cracked Power Armour, still scarred and burnwashed from some horrendous battle solar weeks or months before. Ultramar is located in the galactic southeast of the Eastern Fringes near the galactic rim. Impressed, the Emperor assigned command of the Ultramarines Legion to Guilliman, and relocated the Legion's forward base to Macragge. [73], The Ultramarines continue the tradition, begun by Guilliman, of recruiting from the worlds of Ultramar. In the aftermath of the Horus Heresy, it is the consummate strategist Roboute Guilliman who directs the majority of the counterattacks to drive back the traitorous Chaos forces. El'Jonson was furious, but Sanguinius dismissed the Lord Protector, ending the Triumvirate. The Dark Angels, who in the previous decade to this had been undoubtedly the most powerful single Legion, had fallen in number and evened this figure, having suffered massive casualties holding the line during the famed Third Rangdan Xenocide. forced to look to their own defence. With superhuman energy, Roboute reorganized Macragge's entire social structure, creating a meritocracy where office and honours were given to the hard-working, rather than the wealthy and influential. The challenge requires the Aspirant to fight a duel or compete in some other manner against a full Astartes. The Ultramarines also utilise black-and-yellow chevrons, usually on weapons such as Power Fists. In them was found a mixrure of aggression and restraint, discipline and determination which rendered them supremely suited for joint taskforce operations and cross-theatre warfare. The fortress consisted of over 20 square miles of bunkers, towers, minefields, trenches, razor wire, tank traps, redoubts and a system of complex underground tunnels in the shape of an eight pointed star. Around the time that the young Roboute Guilliman waged war in Illyria, the Emperor's Principia Imperialis fleet of the Great Crusade had reached the planet of Espandor at the outer edge of the network of worlds with which Macragge had maintained tenebrous contact. Handpicked from amongst the most veteran and deadly warriors of the Chapter, each warrior has a personal roll of honour stretching back over dozens of magnificent and blooddrenched conflicts. No official designation to mark the veterans of Calth was ever promulgated amongst the XIII Legion, nor did Guilliman ever sanction any division between the warriors of his Legion, yet on those occasions where the Ultramarines gathered afterwards in numbers, the survivors of Calth ever formed a separate body. [Needs Citation]. The Ultramarines Legion's armoured forces included a wide range of vehicle classes, patterns and types, including the very earliest patterns of war machines which were subsequently deployed in large numbers across the entire Legiones Astartes. All during this time Roboute Guilliman's guilt and frustration began to grow, weighing down his psyche as the Loyalists found it impossible to escape the Maelstrom's clutches. The Ullanor Crusade marked the high point of the Great Crusade's vast effort to reunite the scattered colony worlds of humanity. Vosotho had formulated a plan of attack based around a decapitation assault against the governmental and environmental control complexes on which all life in the hive city was dependent for survival.
