Ultramarines	comment	The Ultramarines series by Graham McNeill delineates the adventures of one member of the titular Ultramarines, Captain Uriel Ventris.The Ultramarines are a chapter of Space Marines in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. In the game, they are considered the poster boy Space Marines, with about half the chapters deriving from the parent legion and Games Workshop using them for the majority of the artwork and material about Space Marines.Their Primarch, Roboute Guilliman, wrote the Codex Astartes, his treatise on Space Marine tactics. The Ultramarines and most of the Ultramarine spin-off chapters rigidly adhere to it almost religiously, refusing to deviate from its teachings. Others, such as the Space Wolves, ignore it entirely - often a source of friction.The volumes of the series are, to date: Collected in The Ultramarines Omnibus (later republished as ''The Uriel Ventris Chronicles, Volume 1): Nightbringer Warriors of Ultramar Dead Sky, Black Sun Collected in Ultramarines: The Second Omnibus (later republished as ''The Uriel Ventris Chronicles, Volume 2): The Killing Ground Courage And Honour The Chapter's Due A new phase in the series was commenced with McNeill's 2021 novel The Swords of Calth.Should not be confused with the DC Comics superhero team of the same name. Also should not be confused with the pigment, although the Ultramarines do wear ultramarine-coloured armor. And Games Workshop has a paint color entitled Ultramarine Blue, which is (you guessed it) ultramarine, and intended to be used to paint Ultramarines.Please check out the character sheet.Please resist the urge to put examples on this page or link to this page on tropes unless you are citing from 40K novels in which the Ultramarines feature. Examples which are specific to rulebooks or other in-universe fluff should go on either the 40k page or in the Space Marines section of the Imperial factions page.

Ultramarines / int_1206dd74	type	Victory Is Boring
Ultramarines / int_1206dd74	comment	Victory Is Boring: At the start of Courage and Honour, Uriel Ventris is disappointed at how easy a skirmish against Tau Pathfinders is with the power of his 4th Company at his back, since he's so used to fighting against overwhelming odds, with lapses in his training, sometimes no Power Armour and only Pasanius always with him.

Ultramarines / int_1235f055	comment	Warriors of Ultramar: Being the Dirty Coward he is, Simon van Gelder [[spoiler: shuts down Erebus City's air defences so his starship can take off without being shot down. During take off, his ship narrowly avoids a crash with an Ultramarines Thunderhawk... and the swarm of Tyranid gargoyles that were pursuing the Space Marine aircraft attack the new target that just appeared in their way. Without the air defence guns to bring the aliens down, van Gelder's ship is overwhelmed and he is torn apart when the Tyranids break into the cockpit. It does not help that his ship's maneuverability has been severely compromised after being laden with every material possession he was able to remove from his estates.

Life in Ultramar is of a much higher quality than most places in the Imperium. Macragge particularly comes to mind, with its verdant country and beautiful, yet functional architecture. As it has the chapter monastery where most Ultramarines call home, it's the place most Ultramarines miss the most when abroad in the galaxy.

Ultramarines / int_25524784	comment	No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: To be honest, when the Ultramarines get into close combat, a lot of their fights become like this. For specific examples: Nightbringer: Against the traitor PDF trying to stop them from getting to the villain's base of operations. The Killing Ground: The duel between Uriel, Pasanius and Leodegarius. Leodegarius hands their heads to them, then mentions that only by losing could they prove their loyalty. Had they beaten him, they would have been gunned down by the Grey Knights as tainted by Chaos. Courage and Honour: Any time Space Marines get into combat with Tau soldiers (justified in that the Tau prefer to fight at range and look down on close combat, letting alien auxillaries like the Kroot sully themselves with hand to hand combat and only engaging in such themselves as a last resort).

Ultramarines / int_270c1778	comment	Blood Magic: The Mortificators' shamanic rituals involve drinking each other's blood, giving them visions that have a surprising, but not perfect accuracy. In the first scene they did this, their chaplain drank the Chapter Master's blood to get a vision to decide if the chapter will aid Tarsis Ultra. The power of that blood proves to be too much for him in the trance, and he regurgitates it. The still-fresh blood is offered to Uriel to seal the pact, and he manages to choke it down. While he did find that it was empowering, he had pretty much the same reaction you just did reading that sentence.

They are utterly thrashed, only to discover they weren't supposed to win; only those who were empowered by Chaos could have won in those circumstances (as Grey Knights are even more lethal than most Marines due to their role as daemon hunters), so by losing, Uriel and Pasanius proved they were untainted.

Warriors of Ultramar: Much of Tarsis Ultra is now covered with Tyranid organisms, 78 Ultramarines were killed in action, and Uriel will have to answer for violating the Codex Astartes, but the planet is saved...until Planetfall. Dead Sky, Black Sun: Most of the renegades on Medrengard and the Unfleshed are dead, Uriel and Pasanius have no idea where they're going, but they've managed to complete their Death Oath and take the surviving Unfleshed away from Medrengard. The Killing Ground: The Unfleshed were possessed and had to be mercy killed, but the dead of Khartuian gain their rest, those responsible are all dead, the planet is saved from Exterminatus, and Uriel and Pasanius get to go back to Macragge, having been declared pure of the taint of Chaos by the Grey Knights. Courage and Honour: Pavonis remains in Imperial hands, Learchus gains new understanding of why Uriel and Pasanius did what they did, and all doubt regarding Uriel's loyalty to the Chapter and the Codex are put to rest, but Pavonis losses all autonomy, and in the years to come, many will wish the Tau had won. Probably more of a Downer Ending than the others. The Chapter's Due: Two worlds of Ultramar are devastated, over one third of the Chapter and millions of Imperial citizens have been killed, and there is strong evidence that Honsou escaped, but the Ultramarines survive with enough resources to rebuild the Chapter, the Bloodborn are utterly beaten, and M'kar is gone for good. This is the closest to a Happy Ending the series has.

Ultramarines / int_4ef92d0b	comment	The Atoner: In Dead Sky, Black Sun Uriel and Passanius are exiled from the chapter and sent out on a death oath in penance. Their reasons for being sent are the following. For both of them, their transgressions meant breaking not only with Chapter tradition and Chapter laws, but a possible violation of what separates a Loyalist Marine from the Traitors. Uriel was sent for leaving his Ultramarines on the surface of Tarsis Ultra to aid the Deathwatch mission against the Tyranid Queen. While it turned out to be the right decision to achieve the more strategically important goal, it meant he had effectively abandoned his post. Pasanius was sent for knowingly not telling anybody about his prosthetic arm being self-repairing out of shame. In context, it meant that he failed to swallow his pride and inform anybody that his arm wasn't of human make, which meant that he courted corruption by an alien artifact or worse, a Chaotic one.

Ultramarines / int_6d7026fa	comment	Punny Name overlapping with Meaningful Name: They are Marines, wearing lapis-blue (i.e. ultramarine) armour, who are the ultimate examples of the standard Space Marine doctrine, and are based in the territory of Ultramar. Said name is the Spanish version of Outremer, the collective name for the medieval Crusader states founded by knightly orders (a rather good analogy for their sub-empire), and also (in its more general meaning of "overseas") the root of the pigment's name. "Ultra" is also Latin for "beyond", so the Ultramarines are either the marines who defend the Imperium against the threats from the "beyond" of intergalactic space, or "Beyond" normal marines.

In the former's case, he murders many of the ruling elite on Pavonis, sets off a civil war and allies with Dark Eldar pirates (all horrendous crimes against the Imperium) to release the C'tan known as the Nightbringer in the belief it will make him immortal, while the latter reluctantly allies with him in a bid to seize the position of Planetary Governor that his family used to hold. Kasimir discovers that the Nightbringer has no need to acknowledge his existence, much less reward him, and ends up being decapitated and his soul eaten by the Nightbringer, while Taloun is arrested, forced to confess his crimes in a very public trial, then hanged from a statue of the Emperor. Mykola Shonai in Courage and Honour. She invited a Tau delegate to talk with the intention of having the Tau establish trading links with the hopes of bringing Pavonis out of its economic depression, but when the Tau (as Uriel warned) resorted to violence when their overtures were rebuffed, she is arrested, tortured and brutally interrogated to learn what other information she might have given the xenos, the savagery of which ultimately kills her.

When his plan finally comes to fruition, he is briefly connected to the Nightbringer's mind through an empathic link as it awakens, at which point his mind breaks at the realization that the Nightbringer is as far removed from him as he is from an ant, and the C'Tan has no reason to even acknowledge his existence, let alone reward him. Kasimir is reduced to tearfully begging the Nightbringer to make him immortal, which only results in the creature deigning to notice him for long enough to kill him.

He is later lambasted by Uriel and several of his own advisors that this was more a case of Stupid Evil, as his actions turned what had been a small scale insurrection into a planet-wide state of hostility towards him and his men, to the point where his guardsmen cannot leave the safety of their barracks without being subjected to ambushes, bombings and guerilla attacks.

Ultramarines / int_d397657d	type	Hoist by His Own Petard
Ultramarines / int_d397657d	comment	Hoist by His Own Petard: Warriors of Ultramar: Being the Dirty Coward he is, Simon van Gelder [[spoiler: shuts down Erebus City's air defences so his starship can take off without being shot down. During take off, his ship narrowly avoids a crash with an Ultramarines Thunderhawk... and the swarm of Tyranid gargoyles that were pursuing the Space Marine aircraft attack the new target that just appeared in their way. Without the air defence guns to bring the aliens down, van Gelder's ship is overwhelmed and he is torn apart when the Tyranids break into the cockpit. It does not help that his ship's maneuverability has been severely compromised after being laden with every material possession he was able to remove from his estates.

Ultramarines / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: In Courage and Honour, when Uriel tells the Tau trying to occupy Pavonis (the world he went to such effort to save back in Nightbringer) that he will destroy the planet to keep it out of their hands if they don't call off their invasion, they have this criticism for him.

Ultramarines / int_d8573ef9	type	Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!
Ultramarines / int_d8573ef9	comment	Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Barbaden invokes this in The Killing Ground after his imprisonment for Khaturian, dismissive of his detractors' comments that his actions will see him put in front of a firing squad, confident that he can easily petition the Sector Governor to force his release. Unfortunately, the ghosts of those he murdered at Khaturian have other ideas...

Ultramarines / int_dd082289	type	A Million Is a Statistic
Ultramarines / int_dd082289	comment	A Million Is a Statistic: In Warriors of Ultramar itself, the huge amount of deaths caused by the Tyranid invasion is oddly understated, while the some 140, 150 Astartes who died remain to be the focus. In-universe it makes some sense, as those Astartes are considered far, far more valuable to the Imperium, while just another instance of millions of humans dying isn't remarkable.

De Valtos thanks the traitor for their services, then paralyzes them with a poisoned dart and hands them over to the Dark Eldar for torture. Listening to their screams of agony, neither Shonai nor Inquisitor Barzano feels an atom of sympathy.
