Extra safe marines, now with easy on armour!(yes it has a U in it.....)

The Squad!

The Gray legion (Too many men from all the unpained armor and weapons and sank the battlebarge into a ocean)
The Plastic shields (Lasted til their shields were melted by a ork made "heat beam" from glass)
The 47th of the 47th sons (lasted til they couldn't find anyone with 47 children, which also had 47 children. Red light districts couldn't last them forever...)
The Unsinkables (Lasted until their battlebarge "The emperor's titanic" crashed into a spaceburg)
Men of 10,000 Guns (Lasted until they lost the weapons manual.... You try remembering how to use 10000 different guns!)

The Emperor's lapdogs
blood angles (not a typo)
fire warriors (mistakenly purged by ordo xenos M40)

C'mon, who takes marines and just tacks on the word "Ultra" like they are supposed to be better than all the other chapters.

Not to take the subject too seriously, but they are. Well, the original Legion pretty much was, anyway. They controlled arguably the largest and best-run territory (Ultramar and subsidiary worlds) of any Legion, and at one point during the Great Crusade accounted for roughly half of the total number of Space Marines (notice that most of the 2nd founding is Codex chapters....all those guys used to be Ultramarines and just got new paintjobs).

Of course, this doesn't explain why they would be named that prior to actually accomplishing anything in said Great Crusade, but that's what happens when you fill your fluff timeline in backwards.

The Baby Marines (obliterated in their first engagement, because they needed their nappies changed (difficult in power armour))

Maybe they weren't called that back then. After all how are we to know if they changed it!

I reckon they used to be called Alpha Legion ;p

Or how about what I named MY marines......The Emperor's Chubby Cox!!!

(no lie, thats what i named them)

Da Orks (Destroyed in an unfortunate Friendly Fire incident)
The Necrons (Destroyed in an unfortunate Friendly Fire incident)
The Eldar (Destroyed in an unfortunate Friendly Fire incident)
The Tau (Destroyed in an unfortunate Friendly Fire incident)
The Tyranids (Destroyed in an unfortunate Friendly Fire incident)
The Chaos Marines (Destroyed in an unfortunate Friendly Fire incident)
The Squats (Destroyed for the hell of it)

After the entire 41st Founding was destroyed due to Friendly Fire, naming chapters after hated enemies banned forever.

Don’t get me started on the Founding of Marines named after Pokimonsters.

Also, the Ultramarines are a clever play on the color ultramarine, which is a type of blue. And by clever, I mean completely obvious.

The Emperor's Penetrators
Power Fisting Angels (attempts to rename it as a Brotherhood also failed)
Purple Headed Warriors
Imperial Cleaners
Normal Marines

The Chosen of Sigmar (accidently arrived in the 41st millenia after being sucked through a warp portal)

We am de best marines
The quiet sceamers
The step lightlies
Bubba's Hubba Bubbas
The Greasers
Death Guidos
Bitch Slappers
Bitch Slappees
The Brown Trousers Brigade
The Emperors' Pantaloons

Vistamarines (now with free norton anti-horus)

The Rainbow Warriors. Oh, wait... Nevermind. (It's a real Chapter.)

-J.

Imperial Mists (Purged Due to blindness)
The Pointy Fingers Of the Emperor (Purged Because the "Pointy Finger" Was The Middle Finger)
The Custard Marines (Purged Due to Allergy to Custard)
THE LOLCATS OTH THE EMPERORZ (Purged Due to Cuteness)
The Space Brits (Not Purged)
The Emperors Testicles (Was going to be purged but was non-existent, thousands of inquisitors were purged though due to Hysterical laughter, thought to be caused by daemonic infiltration)

Holy retorical answer, Batman!!

Sorry, Noble713, I was just messing around. I'm just sick of Ultramar's finest being slapped on everything 40k. Half of the current C:SM is dedicated to telling me how 1337 they are, and 10% is about how to play them. I was poking fun mostly because GW seems to forget from time to time that there's other chapters, and most gamers could not care less about those proud blue freaks of genetic science...

How about a chapters called

The Chuckle brothers

Angel Delight.
