*Eyeroll* yeah because the presence of Ultramarines at Cadia stopped Cadia from falling. Ultramarines suffer plenty of defeats (Honor and Iron for example had the third company suffer a devestating loss)
the ultramarines hate is getting old people
Maybe when their eye-roll inducing ubiquity in the setting tails off, so will the antipathy.
sure, proably because most of the hate for the Ultramarines are people doing it to be cool and contrary, basicly hipster 40kism.
This. I remember my cousin bashing them all the way back in 2nd edition, purely because they were the "poster boys". Used to call them smurfs and everything.

Ironically, they were the least of the 4 to see play. Who want's vanilla instead of Angels of Blood / Darkness, or Wolves? They were the only of those lot that I never painted an army for (though I still like them).

Nice fluff summary of the Eldar gods on WHC. It could be nothing as the Eldar are not exactly spoilt for choice these days when it comes to live deity's, but GW do keep mentioning Isha in there background

There are some great pieces in there. I love the ones showing the terrain and structures of the Craftworlds.
They seem to be slowly building up a pantheon of major heroes for each faction, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see a couple more Aeldari Avatars in the next few years (and hopefully a plastic Avatar of Khaine). I think we will also see more Primarchs, both Imperial and Daemon, as well as some enormous Orks and 'Nids (we already have the Swarmlord as an equivalent). It really just leaves Tau and Necrons out of the party.

Well the Necrons already have their shards of Star Gods. Now make me an avatar of Gork (or Mork).
