The Silver Skulls are "Ultramarines", but are heavily implied to actually be Iron Warriors. Specifically founded by the survivors of Dantioch's men (their logo is literally meant to be Dantioch's skull mask)

[@Kropothead]

That fact alone made me like the Ultras more. Most legions would never play host to a cadre of loyalist Iron Warriors, but the Skulls are good bois.

I personally love the interaction of Corvus Corax and Guilleman. Corax beat Guilleman soundly in their first 3 wargames against each other, but then never won again. Kanar to Corax: “To best one of the greatest strategos in the Imperium is no mean feat. We are blessed by your attendance.” Corax to Kanar: “I make no such claim,” Corax replied with a lopsided smile. “From the fourth simulation on, he had my mark and I could not beat him. He learns well, my brother, and he has far greater vision than me. While I was rescuing a single world from slavery, he was already building an empire of hundreds. I won battles against him, but never a war.”

[@blackhelmetnova7753]

A fun thing about Guilliman. He’s very sentimental about the past and the more halcyon days of his legion. Hence why he keeps some of his sons around him that remind Roboute of those days. Guilliman himself said that he enjoys Cato Sicarius and keeps him close because Cato reminds him of Aeonid Thiel. As well as 11th company captain and newly appointed Tetrarch Felix. Felix being a primaris marine who was taken and frozen in 30k, so he remembers the Imperium as it was rather than how it is now.

On the Ultramarines name, it’s also a little bit of a nod to Roman history, intentionally or not. Blue was a rare dye to obtain at the time, thus merchants had to go over the sea, or “ultra marinus” in order to buy some.

A lovely woman by the name of Fiaura The Tank Girl happened to do some collab videos with Remleiz of 40k Theories a few years back, and in those videos she did a breakdown of how a Power Fist would work based on lore and practical scientific observation. In the end, after a series of calculations based on the estimated strength of a Space Marine in power armor, the estimated force of the Power Fist itself, and the theoretical physics involved with power field technology, she came to the conclusion that the kinetic energy of using 'I CAST FIST!', which is to say giving the Marine time to wind up and throw a fully powered punch with his Power Fist, would be roughly equal to the power of the Daavy Crockett, a man-portable nuclear launcher developed by the US designed for wiping out armored columns. That is not to say that Marneus Calgar is literally throwing nuclear haymakers, but the Power Fist is hitting hard enough that it's comparable to the blast wave of a miniature nuclear shell. So never on your life say that a Power Fist is useless. Especially when they can have ranged weapons like flamers or bolters mounted on them.

56:30 Hope they don't change it, Dorn and the Fists are basically undefeated through out the Great Crusade. They had one job during the Heresy, protect the Emperor; an impossible task they almost accomplished. And the sense of failure is mentally crippling, so Dorn and the Fists' instincts are to go for acts of penance to try and make up for their "failure" to protect the Emperor. The Scouring is where we get the real character development for Dorn and the Fists, and the decision/outcome of Iron Cage feels in character for them.

Say what you want, but these guys really are the face of the marines and GW by extension: they embody not only the Roman esc themes the imperium is all about, but also have a clear cut theme to them which isn't to over the top (logistics are complex in real life tho motherfu-) and morally aren't actually the worst from both their own sub faction as well as other factions and their own armies too.

[@Reaching8]

The section at 1:20:00 ish about colours is wrong. The chapter was called the “Ultramarine Marines” for a while before being shortened to Ultramarines later. GW used to carry an Ultramarine blue with more purple in it that would have been more reflective of the correct colour. Army Painter and P3 make equivalents of it today, and there are retro paint lines trying to ape it as well like Nostalgia88 and Coat d’Arms to varying success. GW went with less vibrant colours after 2e so their paint scheme for Ultras became more of a Cobalt blue, but the name stuck. The marines are named after the colour, they just changed the mix of the paint later. Also, historical point, Ultramarine blue refers to needing to go over a marine journey to acquire blue. This is because voyages needed to be made in order to get a pigment, which I think was something like lapis lazuli. It was therefore a sign of wealth(playing into the regal roman stuff). The colour wasn’t necessarily consistent, because it may have been mixed later, ranging from turquoise to royal blue with purple in the mix. Ultramarine blue today has a dark purple in it but that isn’t necessarily *the* Ultramarine blue as the colour isn't standard.

Actually we know where one of the extra Glorianas cane from. The Word Bearers had two for some reason (speculated that one belonged to one of the lost primarchs originally) and during the heresy the Ultramarines captured it and took it for themselves

[@thewerdna]

For additional information if anyone is curious, this Gloriana was originally named "Chronicle of Ashes", later renames to "Lex Talonis" once the Ultramarines took it. It is currently in possession of the Nemesis Chapter, who I guess just happened to be the Ultramarine successors who were lucky enough to inherit the smurfs' spare Gloriana That said, I have no clue where the other one came from. Of the loyalists, only the Dark Angels', Blood Angels', Space Wolves, and Iron Hands' have their Gloriana's status unknown. Then for the traitors we don't know what happened to the Night Lords', Emperors' Children's, Iron Warriors', Thousand Sons', or either of the Alpha Legions' (since both Alpharius and Omegon had their own)

I like quite a few SM chapters but the Ultramarines are the only ones that I feel could be consistently honorable and reasonable. Others have fun quirks but I would not want to theme my army after those that ..... abandon allies in order to keep their dirty little secrets from coming out, drink blood or eat flesh of the innocent , kill the odd eldar child, or sacrifice good men in order gain glory for their own names to be written in Sagas. Again - all of these are fun to read about and have other traits that are good but the true knights and protectors of Man are the Sons of Guilliman. (Salamanders get honorable mention) =)

[@eichler721]

The Ultramarines had a lot more of the easier campaigns during the Great Crusade, but it was for a reason. The Emperor wanted the planets still in good order and ready to support the effort, so the Ultramarines worked best at these. Now granted 80% of the planets taken during the Great Crusade were extremely bloody still and far above what we can comprehend today. The other 20% were backwater worlds or wanted to join so went easy. However of that 80% that fought 25% were just at a different level and requires DAOT stuff from the Dark Angels and are just purged and destroyed. Or have the Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Iron Warriors and such stomp them down and then the planet took decades to make usable again as these Legions just brought so much death and destruction when fully unleashed. They were all capable of doing regular compliance but when the enemy is Rangdan, Khrave, Nephelim, Eldar remnants of the Empire with masses forces, Hrud and such then only these most lethal and destructive forces would do. Also the Dark Angels were #1 in numbers till the Rangdan Xenocide, where they lost 50K Astartes and then 2 legions disappeared to bolster the Ultramarines with what's left and they still only outnumbered the Dark Angels cause of that most deadly enemy in the Great Crusade.
