Why You Should Collect Ultramarines

The Ultramarines are the quintessential Warhammer Army, and we love them! In this video, Brian shows off his collection of the classic Space Marine chapter, and we discuss how he started them, why they are great to play, paint, and collect.

As an ultramarine player it’s good to see some actual content on them and not just smurf marine jokes. They’re the best casual army because they’re easy to learn and hard to master and blue is just the best colour

[@vanillaicecream2385]

marines are easy to learn and easy to master

[@Wasker20233]

False gold is the best color but blue is cool to also ultramarines aren’t Ultramarine rather cobalt blue

In that color they're basically novamarines

[@zombiesue1054]

Army overviews are never bad. Get a whole collection of these and be the go to source for people looking for their first/next army.

[@TheTronmon]

Absolutely agree. Would have saved me sooo much time if something like that was around when I was picking my first army.

[@bryankia]

I cannot unsee that sweater. Great video.

[@jonathannoble7657]

I didn’t start ultra marine because I thought they were the most popular… turns out slot of people think the same. The subreddit for ultramarines is actually tiny which may correlate to how few people actually collect them. I have a dark angel chapter but kind of wish I went ultramarines now cus I like my army to be in one colour. :( wish I could turn back time.

[@adron1261]

Been with the Ultramarines since the 90s. Glad to hear you point out that they are not as "bland" and boring as people think. Love that you went bright on them.

[@breadpirateoverhere]

The ultramarines are so iconic, for good reason. Look at how gorgeous they are on the table.

[@Speakhardly]

Great video guys! I was left waiting for a full army shot to see how many Ultramarines Brian truly has but it never came. The slow, zoomed in panning is great but please show us the whole army as well.

[@Pariah13x]

I can't second this enough

[@Oni93657]

I just got into the game last year, and Ultramarines were my first Army. Love the boys in Blue.

[@davyheijlands1956]

Bryan has the most awesome UM Christmas sweater ever!!!

[@schwerpunkt7687]

I'm also a big fan of clean lines and crisp trim. Well done. For Ultramar!

[@Lesandira]

You can feel the love Brian has for the good old boys in blue

[@Prime40K]

Am I the only one that watched the intro multiple times because it was that good?

[@IainK76]

In the late 80s I bought 'THE' space marine box and as I liked blue and thought I could possibly paint a 'U' I started an Ultramarine army. I left the hobby 5-6 ears later and returned mid 8th ed. Dam was I shocked, and happy, about what they had become. I've not returned to them as an army (one day), but at least my son now has!

Salamanders and their successors will be my favorites, always!

[@diegobrando3430]

NGL before this video I thought they were bland, but now after reading the lore, I legitimately they are pretty interesting

[@vanillaicecream2385]

you mean the lore where the guard fight for decades against chaos only for three marines to kill like 4 cultists and "win the day"

[@HunterMearo]

One good reason is that every time a new model is released there's a 33% chance you'll be hyped for an addition to your forces kappa

[@gammothguy297]

33% is under shooting it tbh.

[@pdelic3644]

Yes! Such a great video. I am really looking forward to the rest of this series! Thanks guys!

[@MutantGoblinCaravan]

Cool content guys, looking forward to one of these for each of your factions!

[@mattmark94]

The most important question is: what your recipe for such a good blue?!

[@mattriley2532]

For the models or the sweater lol

[@mattmark94]

The models, I hate ugly sweaters. Btw for anyone reading this: if you know what kind of blue they used on these UM, please let me know. Thanks ✌🏻

[@TehAngrehPANDA]

After saying His sweater is ugly No One Will probably answer #HowRude

[@poopyhead4892]

The sweater is glorious, and that blue will be near impossible to replicate.....he said in a previous BR that it was a mix of like five different paints. He does have a recipe but it’s not released. If I had to start anywhere I’d start with standard UM blue, a bit of Calgar blue, maybe a little of Vallejo blue green. Obviously most heavily on the UM blue. But they have a torquoise-y feel to them and knowing these guys it comes from a dash of Vallejo blue green #vallejosponsoradrian

[@poopyhead4892]

Also it seems like he did an undercoat with something more close to a navy blue, it really makes itself apparent in recesses and in the lower areas of the vehicles/ centurions legs....food for thoight

[@WhayYay]

That light blue is really cool, making me think of doing some of that color instead of dark.

[@1vandread]

To be fair, I did buy a Gulliman model.......to kitbash with Ghazkul to make Ultra Ghazkul with Rowboat Girlyman’s head being carried by Merkari.

[@avery5116]

Another great video. I love the range of content you guys are trying out and I’m a big fan of this sort of video.

[@andrewgiles5046]

I'd like to request a painting tutorial for these. They look great.

[@ironofithaka8357]

I would love to get his paint scheme for that blue. Mine turn out to be a darker blue.

[@danpsyker6122]

Beautiful army, the blue really pops out! Love it

[@marcussquintess]

Where can I get a sweater like that? As an Ultramarine army owner, I must have that sweater!

[@kingclamo]

I would love a codex breakdown for each army. Sort of going over what each unit/relic/hq/ strategem and talk about what it is good at and what it could be used for.

[@christianthegrayt]

One of my best friends just got me interested in Ultramarines. Perfect timing! Love the videos guys!

[@Alpharius93]

As memeable as they might be, I gotta admit the Ultramarines are quite cool:) and such beautiful painting you achieved here!!

[@finnishfatman]

When I started doing 40k, I knew nothing about different chapters and even thought this one plague marine with plasma gun (in old magazine picture) was just some random space marine and that their back bags were some sorta jump packs or something 😅 This was in 2001 when I bought my first box of 5 marines and thought the blue and yellow looked cool, so I painted those first ones that. Obviously it was Ultramarines. I had 5 paints for them: Blood red for the bolters and other red bits (bolters were red back then 😆). Chainmail for the metal parts. Ultramarines blue for the blue parts. Golden yellow for all the bits which are now golden (they were yellow then). And Goblin green for base. That's all. I don't remember what was the second box I bought, but probably was that old command squad, which was such a joy to paint, because it was all new to me. And then I started learning about the rules and chapters etc... first I just wanted to paint something. But been Ultramarines collector ever since and never thought they were boring. Sure, in earlier editions (like 3rd...) they were bland with 0 special rules, but of course interesting characters made up for it for me. Still got those old metal Marneus Calgar and Tigurius models (not the 1st gen Calgar tho, that one who's sitting) and they look just so tiny compared to the current ones 🤣 But I'm going to use them in some games none the less. I've collected different armies as well. Orks (speed freekz in earlier editions), Necrons, Sisters of Battle, Nurgle, Eldar, a bit of Imperial Guard... Last Chancers (that was actually fun to play with!)... But most of them I've sold. Through out all these years, not a single model from my Ultramarine army has been sold or lost and I still remember which of my models was the very first I've ever painted, even when it have had some recoloring done to it.

[@Elyeras]

Loved this video, definitely hoping you make more like it!

[@Skar3Kr0w]

I'm about to dig into an Ultramarines army after playing 2 years of Tau. This video was super helpful. Definitely feel like I'm making the right choice.

[@sectorseven07]

I've been into Ultramarines since 1996 when I was 6 years old and got into Warhammmer. I literally don't care whatsoever what anyone else thinks of them. They're the best chapter. They're the most beautiful in terms of aesthetic and lore.

[@mathewlindsay8794]

THAAAT SWEATER!!!!! 😂👍

[@madamesaundere]

[@SilverOilman]

I look forward to more videos like this; I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@bellportbattlebunker4682]

Great showcase. Thanks for sharing.

[@lemanruss7218]

I really like your Ultramarines, maybe after I've collected Dark Angels (Ravenwing and Deathwing) I can start down that rabbit hole. Right now I'm really into Imperial Knights. I hated them in 8th because they trashed my Imperial Guard every time. But, now that time has healed my crushed spirit I took a second look and really fell in love with those big dakka dakka mechs. Since super heavy tanks aren't in a great place this edition I decided to bring a super heavy detatchment of knights to play with a small patrol of scions for dropping in and deploying scramblers. It's been working out amazingly so far and I'm excited about ITC events happening again in my area around SoCal. Amazing collection and video guys!

[@Crembaw]

“There will be more Ultramarines.” “We Know.”

[@user-xe2uc4ku2t]

“Toilet bowl marines”

[@lookslikeEzio]

Ultramarines have more characters than Harlequins have units, of course there will be more.

[@mattmark94]

Excellent.

[@WaystedMined]

Everyone collects Ultramarines at some point... After all what other chapter do people regularly paint the dead marines on their bases as?

[@keith6848]

I paint mine as dark angels, you always have to fight chaos

[@maciekwilkosz6377]

They do that because even they know blue looks awesome! 😁

[@lorgor4eva]

I’m currently finishing my necron force. However I did get the space marine codex also & I got the indomitus box set. So I built them & painted them ultramarines as it’s the chapter I loved if I played marines. Not yet as I’m building a lumineth force for AOS but at some point. I plan on coming back to them at some point building a larger force cool video by the way. Love your bat reps 👍🏻

[@anthonytanner2343]

Nice army showcase, Brian's models look amazing. Most important question, where did Brian get his jumper from and does it come in other factions/chapters?

[@ayyys-u3362]

I'd love for this guy to do a paint tutorial that blue is beautiful and those red cables are just *chefs kiss*

[@alphacypher7099]

Loved this video looking forward to another like this.

[@tonybayer2546]

The reward for putting up with smurf jokes and haters is having one of the coolest armies in 40k. Fun to paint, nerf-proof due to not excelling in any one category aside from characters, and great lore for those of you readers. Just finished reading Nightbringer and painting my Ultramarines in 4th company colors to go with Uriel Ventris.

[@MrJinglebells94]

Love the video idea hope you make a series!! Do you guys have any plans on a crimson fist army in the future?

[@baitbait65]

I wanted to go with Iron Hands but my son liked the blue guys on the box. They've definitely grown on me.

[@TheXasTube]

Very nice video! I'm in a similar position as you by having only really touched space marines with the start of primaris (and choosing ultramarines because I had Guilliman from collecting the Triumvirate Boxes). One thing I am however sorely missing with all the transfers available are vehicle company markings for non-2nd-company. Every decal only has the "2 on yellow spot". Have you found anywere to get a set of decals for the other companies?

[@maniakdoom]

Keep doing these please!

[@DMHightower]

The Ultramarines are my first and favorite army. I LOVED this video and THAT SWEATER!!!

[@mkodom88]

What do you guys use for shelves? They are very nice.

[@alexdenton9176]

1) you want to win without having to be awake for the game 2) you like cheese

[@Apoc428]

not even a big fan of ultramarines themselves, but this was definitely a nice vid, looking forward to another one

[@Snavels]

Really, I initially chose ultramarines because the blue and gold is just a beautiful combination of colors. Then I find out after choosing them that GW apparently supports them the most out of any faction (with models and such)

[@kubekzpiciem]

That is the best sweater ive seen in a while, fantastic!

[@CallofOdin580]

Nice vid guys... while not a fan of ultras now, they were my first army many years ago. Nice looking force though even still.

[@Chriskritical]

Just having Imperium keywords and Space marine keyworded in are typically good enough reasons to collect from a competitive standpoint, always have great souping and utility options. but ultramarines are definitely a very good starting point for any beginner for sure

[@squishcognito6780]

So so timely. I was having massive dilemmas over which chapter to play, I think you've tipped me into Ultras...

[@kylekeenan3485]

OMG that Jumper, it's Heresy!

[@coletrain6545]

I'm new to the collection side of things. Can you get these pre painted or do you have to paint them yourself?

It was mid nineties and I bought Starquest. There were 3 choices of marines colors I stuck with blue since then.

For Ultramar! I was thinking I wanted to start a space marine army but like you I am a fan of dakka so as I was flipping through the codex I saw the imperial fists and am torn between them I don't know which one is better because I want more dakka but also the poster boys are always good any opinions?

[@RustyShackleford101]

I'm paraphrasing here but there's a short story in the Horus Heresy series where an Ultramarine captain follows the teachings of Guilliman to the letter and still loses (it was a training exercise I believe), only for Guilliman to say "Err, dummy, don't follow my texts to the letter, use some initiative and imagination...."

[@Okutox]

Now, if I could only figure out how to get the transfers to work. ^^;

[@apinakapinastorba]

I struggled first with the decals/transfers. Then i tried vallejo’s decal fix and decal softener. They REALLY help to smooth them. Especially on the pauldrons, you can get them perfectly smooth with those. :)
