ROBOUTE GUILLIMAN AND THE ULTRAMARINES (But mostly Guilliman) | Warhammer 40k lore

[@theelephantandtherider9536]

my favorite guilliman moment is honestly just when him and his dad go on a hunting trip, and his dad gets hurt, and guilliman realizes that he's going to outlive his dad and just feels really sad, and his dad says its going to be alright. Its a little thing but its great.

[@ngominh259]

Love it. Little moments like that are great for character building. I've always imagined his dad being kind of a stern aloof hardass that are traditionally distant & demanding like my grandpa - asking his 7yo son to take a box of new bike parts to build his own bike, or take a block of steel and make his own axe at 11 yo. Capable of showing gentle love, but very difficult to talk to, man-to-man. Being Guilliman must have been cool since you can just DO stuffs perfectly and exceed his dad's requirements.

My favorite Quote from Roboute. Is straight on the top of his Wiki page: "Why do I still live? What more do you want from me? I gave everything I had to you, to them. Look what they've made of our dream. This bloated, rotting carcass of an empire is driven not by reason and hope but by fear, hate and ignorance. Better that we had all burned in the fires of Horus' ambition than live to see this." This quote alone just sums up how royal pissed he was woken up so rudely and has to deal with this shit. Even going so far as to admit. Horus should have burned it all to the ground.

[@OmegaLittleBob]

To be fair to the Codex Astartes, the thing that the other Primarchs didn't like about it was the splitting of the Legions. The actual tactical knowledge contained within was all good. But the problem was after all the Primarchs disappeared, people religiously followed the Codex's tenants and left little to no room for deviation, treating it like a holy scripture. Guilliman did revise the Codex when he came back because he was like "FFS guys, you can do something different in battle if the situation calls for it"

[@Aredel]

You'd be surprised how badly the Imperium gets screwed over because their enemies read the military instruction manual that the smurfs follow so religiously

[@SIRslipperyasp91]

@@Aredel idk how much it would really help, a lot of the tactics the us army utilizes for example are publicly available, and even then, many of those are just common sense. Like if you're ambushed the first thing you should do is "break contact" which means what it sounds like, either get physical distance, a sturdy obstacle, or obscurement like via smoke grenade so you're not suffering the effects of suppression and can freely plan your next move. Knowing this isn't tactical genus, but how you go about breaking contact based your situation, resources, and the contact of the greater engagement could be.

[@Aredel]

@@SIRslipperyasp91 the difference between that and 40k is that in real life, we see it as a guideline. Something that is useful to learn from, but not strictly adhered to. We widely accept and utilize niche and unconventional tactics as the situation sees fit. In 40k, an unhealthy number of chapters see the Codex Astartes as a sacred dogma to be religiously adhered to at all times. “The space book says this is bad” isn’t literal: it’s a joke about how unwilling many chapters are to deviant from its instructions.

One of my favorite moments at the battle of Calth, is when after having his command center blown up & being launched into space, Guilliman held his breath & went on a Word Bearer head punching spree. Also there is a beautiful quote from Lorgar, upon seeing the rage in Guilliman's eyes, where he realizes every wrong thing that happened to the Word Bearers wasn't something personal, and that Lorgar had mistakenly believed Guilliman hated him all this time. But now, he was truly angry, truly wanted him dead, and Lorgar wanted nothing more than to sit him down and talk to him, to try and convince him of Horus' cause.

You do realize that if you had your breath in space, it's a lot more painful than if you try to actually breath in space. If you he your breath, your lungs will explode and your blood will boil. Whereas if you try to breath, you will just suffocate so it won't be as violent or brutal. So I think it's more of gulliman was suffocating, but because he was a primarch, he physically couldn't die unless it went a little longer than it did.

@@camramaster I actually found a leak from GW on this one. they were lovers of basket ball and wasted their legions challenging every leader to a basket ball match their legions often had trouble with wanting to obey their leader and the fact the power armor made basket ball difficult. The emperor was okay with this because somehow they were taking over worlds, slowly, they made lorgar look like a lightning bolt. But with full intact infrastructures and full populations ready and willing to serve. However eventually they landed on a world with strange creatures reminiscent of many earth native animals that seemed to defy logic, their density, elasticity and durability changes with no clear sense of reasoning behind it. They could fall hundreds of feet and break bones or they might fall into the core and crawl out without a scratch, even the way they fell wouldn’t always follow any set logic. they just like any other world challenges these strange creatures to games of basket ball taking various things when winning. Eventually becoming rulers of this world, the emperor was fascinated to see these strange creatures listed in the report. But that’s when he saw it, they were the loony toons. He hated them with all his being, he hated the big chungus meme with all his might as it lasted 10,000 years.and a war broke out causing one of them to turn traitor because he had grown a fetish for Lola bunny and inflation, often using her as a basket ball during sex. The traitor was executed and the loyalist took his own life having lost the only one who could challenge him to 1 on 1 games.

This is, genuinely, literally the only complaint worth hearing about in regards to the Ultramarines. Its TRAGIC and frankly appalling that GW doesnt include decals for the other chapters - ESPECISIALLY in regards to things like say, the Lamentors, who PREFOMINANTLY feature checkerboard patterns... on top of orange-ish bronze or taxi cab yellow armor. Freehanding THAT is a nightmare that could be solved with a SINGLE sticker. But, the Ultramatines dont use checkerboard patterns so fat chance youre getting any in your standard space marine box.

Fun thing about the Battle of Calth, most of the Ultramarines killed in the battle were killed by a Word Bearers ship ramming the orbital shipyards at 60% the speed of light, and then being shot at by Word Bearers ships without the chance to defend themselves over the next hour. As soon as the Ultramarines were given permission and orders to fight back it turned into a one-sided slaughter of Word Bearers forces. Even though the Ultramarines lost half their Legion and a huge number of ships, it was still their win. The Word Bearers also lost almost half their Legion, a huge number of mortal auxiliary forces, and failed to complete their main objective. The Ruinstorm was Plan B. It was a desperate stalling measure Erebus came up with in case their treachery failed (which it did). The fact that they failed to kill Roboute Guilliman made the attack on Calth a strategic failure, and the fact that they didn't even manage to cut the Ultramarines forces down to under Legion strength made it a tactical failure. The failure to make Calth's star explode cost the Word Bearers a huge amount of their fighting strength, and tied both themselves and the World Eaters down in Ultramar for far too long. What should have been a quick way to take the largest Loyalist Legion off the playing board wound up stalling two Traitor Legions in order to bring them down to average Legion size, and really pissing them off in the process.

[@GearShotgun]

God damn, just you think the Word Bearers actually managed to do something badass. Even when they turn traitor and ambush the other side they still suck at it.

the thing i love the most about Guilliman is his sense of humor, like hes very aware that by most measures hes a it of a stick in the mud, hes the bureaucrat, but he is often cracking little dad jokes to his Astartes sons to lighten the mood but they ultra respect him and take it very seriously so the joke goes over their heads, and he just sighs and gets back to business, but he always tries again. the one that comes first to my head is after the resurrection when he has to constantly wear the power armour and hes trying to write but he keeps breaking his writing utensils and he declares something to the effect of "pencils are my true greatest enemy" much to the confusion of the Ultramarines in the room

Once a Corvus Corax and the ravan guard episode is done , I can die happy I feel him and his marines are the least represented out of the loyalist legions

Ok, I'm an Ultramarines fan, so I'm biased, but the legion's name is actually one of my favorite things about it. Ultramarine blue is a pigment, one that was made by grinding lapis lazuli; In the late middle ages, Europe's main point of entry for ultramarine blue was Italy through imports from Afghanistan - its name literally means "blue from beyond the sea". Those characteristics made the pigment very expensive; renaissance painters, in turn, tended to reserve ultramarine blue to really important figures (like the Virgin Mary), so it kind of developed this "elitist" connotation. So, you see, it makes sense that the space marines wearing blue armor with gold details, a roman aesthetic and a penchant for rules, hierarchy and order would be called the Ultramarines.

Lil side note bit I'm super pumped that Bricky loves the Night Lords and loves the Night Lords Trilogy so much because that's what got me into 40k and the NL are my favorite as a result.

DK's reaction to hearing the correct pronunciation of Roboute Guilliman: "I'm not saying that"

[@thescholar5611]

That final quote from Guilliman is still my all time favorite quote in all of Warhammer 40,000.

This series has actually gotten me back into wanting to do 40k other than just collect models I think are cool. I use a lot of 3rd party models because I think they are cool, and I am working building up 1000pts of IG and Space Marines. My brother is also going to work on a 1000pt list and when I get home from deployment we are going to pull up old white dwarf senarios from an archive site I found and play through old mission sets. We were also thinking of doing a city fight campaign. Thanks a ton, glad to be back.

Another reason the ultramarines are so strong in lore is because their gene seed is the purest of any chapter/legion . In lore before the heresy rowboat guilliman stashed hundreds of thousands of gene seed . This has become apprent as the years have went on with the gene seed of rogal Dorn losing the ability to use some of the key survival organs namely the one that allows them to go into a type of hyper sleep when mortally wounded. Same goes for salamanders and space wolves respectivly as well of the other legions. Not as bad as the gene seed for the thousand sons of the traitor magnus the red, because that one is fuckin broken . (Before the dust of course) TLDR: the ultra smurfs are strong because they have genetically pure organs

[@sondor4375]

It's a bit of a cop-out in my opinion. Sure they have a pure geneseed but they are still spacemarines. Deathwatch and the grayknights is easier to accept for me.

"Doctor put the scalpel away this is more important" Hanna Reitsch did that when she crashed while testing a Me 163 rocket plane and refused medical treatment until she had completed her report on its flight characteristics.

Me every time I hear about Russ and the space wolves:”WOO WOO WOO WOO!!”

[@Fourtytwo4242]

That is Guillimans favorite chapter to, only boys he could get drunk with and have a nice chat has equals. He likes his boys but man you just need to relax and have a drink some times.

[@futtynucker5278]
