Ultramarines
Command the Battlefield with the Ultramarines
The Ultramarines are the noble defenders of Ultramar and the definitive face of the Space Marines in Warhammer 40k. Disciplined, strategic, and fiercely honorable, they follow the Codex Astartes—the ultimate tactical playbook penned by their Primarch, Roboute Guilliman. Clad in their iconic blue armor, they stand as a beacon of hope across the galaxy, tackling every threat with perfect coordination and cool-headed efficiency.
How Do the Ultramarines Play? (Playstyle Overview)
If you want a versatile, strategic army that always has an answer to the enemy’s plans, the Ultramarines are the ultimate choice. They are arguably the most well-rounded faction in the game, making them the absolute best starting point for newcomers. Their tabletop playstyle centers on three main strengths:
- Unmatched Tactical Flexibility: Ultramarines excel in every phase of the game. Whether you need to sit back and shoot, hold a vital objective, or charge into melee, their rules allow you to adapt your strategy on the fly to exploit your opponent's weaknesses.
- Masterful Redeployment & Movement: They are masters of positioning. Their unique abilities often allow them to fall back from combat and still shoot, or shift units around the board before the game even begins, ensuring you are never caught off guard.
- Legendary Leadership: Led by incredible characters like Marneus Calgar and the Primarch Roboute Guilliman himself, the Ultramarines boast powerful force multipliers that grant extra Command Points and massive tactical buffs to nearby troops.
