Becasue Matt Ward is a tool. plain and simple ultramarines are so fething boring it makes me gag. Every other space marine chapter isn't to proud to ask for help when they actually need it but the ultramarines think they are better then every one else. They are the main reason that i hate codex marines so very much.

alright nerd rage over.
I think my favorite marine is Logan Grimnar just great fluff to him and a great looking model.

Yeah man.
My Chowderhead was just expressing some deep love for the Mat Ward and his beloved Marneus Calgar. Which is rightly deserved. Both are characters of legend among 40k gamers and both deserve the recognition the get both on the battlefields of the 41st milenium and writing some of the premiere fluff of our time.

They are boring because Mat Ward has made them into "the greatest space marine chapter of all time" Whats so great about a chapter that excels at everything it sets out to do. I find it a bit more interesting to read about characters that actually have some character. The way Ward has the ultrasmurfs they would kick the emperors ass up and down the street. The way the new space marine codex is written every other "codex" chapter wishes they were ultrasmurfs and would prefer them over their own primarchs. Mat ward killed/ trying to kill all the other founding chapters. The few characters in the codex that don't belong to the ultrsmurfs recieved no where near the same attention that mat ward gave to his beloved ultramarines and they feel more like they were an after thought that GW made him put in so that it would be codex: space marines and not codex: Ultramarines.

So sorry for voicing my opinion and not actually attacking you personaly on a public forum site.

Absolutely Alpha Legionnaire #437 - he sacrificed everything to ensure the future of the Legion.

It is just gravy that he also helped fool the entire Ultramarine Legion AND the Imperium as a whole too!

Marneus has lived for a very long time, and during those years, he has Punched an Avatar of Khaine so hard, that it died. That's an astounding feat, along with the fact that held of an Eldar invasion for a very long time. He is the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, the greatest chapter to have ever graced the galaxy. Worls tremble beneath their mighty boots. Read any Ultramarines book my the two best authors in Black Library history, C.S. Goto and Mat Ward. They are gods among men.

Calgar has some of the best equipment! He has a pair of AP2 bolters. Yes. AP 2 Assault Bolters. These babies are just the thing for when you assault with the best weapons in history, the Gauntlets of Ultramar. These twin powerfists are so badass, that he can even wield a sword with them! And he has a built in teleport homer, TDA for the same cost as a storm shield, and a fething 4++ invul save. But his 2+ armor save is more what you'll use, as Marneus will have already blown up all weapons that could pierce his armor by simply looking at them.

And his rules, oh my god his rules. They are the best out there. He has EW, a non-necessary rule, as he has T5 and four wounds. He also can control all leadership tests for his side of the field, an amazing trait not found in codexes anymore. He aslo can call down an orbital strike, take a ride in a Drop Pod, and even have three honor guard units! THREE! That's thirty of the second best choice in he entire C:SM! (First being Marneus, of course.)

Edited because my love for Marnues has caused me to be so focused on him that I made a few spelling mistakes.

Anyway, I hope this has enlightened you to the amazingness that is Ultramarines. Everyone loves them! They even have half of the Special Characters in the marine codex! If they weren't totally awesome, then why do they get themselves on the cover of the book?
Not trying to be offensive but I think Calgar is very arrogant. If Leman Russ was with him, he'd adress Russ as if he is a new Space Marine.

I'm sorry... Calgar is 265 points in term. armour. he is not kick ass.

the AP 2 bolters and powersword is over powered, but if he had a RF weapon, it'd be assault too, given that he's in terminator armour.

As for my favourite, Vulkan he'stan. he's like a member of the round table or something, searching for his version of the grail

I'm a Space Wolf nut, so obviously I see them as the best chapter with the best fluff. If I had to pick a SM character I liked fluff wise I could easily go with Bjorn or Ragnar, but I'm actually going to go with Wolf Lord Bulveye of the 13th Company.... I actually made a model for him to lead my 13th Company Wolves.

However, out of all the SM models that GW makes, I'm going to go with the Librarian in Terminator armor. When properly painted up this model looks freekin awesome!

Because he is so badass, when he rolls up Calgar gives him command.

Not to mention his mask is a reflection of Sanguiness's face as he cried out in anger at Horus. Oh, and his armor is about a billion times more epic than normal Astartes Armor.
