XIII Legion 'Ultramarines': Origins & History (Warhammer 40,000 & Horus Heresy Lore)

Rupert Guillotine strikes again

Good at everything and bad at nothing but not best.

The Poster boys of Warhammer 40k

Blue berry boy scouts

13th: shows up on time, works to job description, does overtime/covers other staff when necessary, goes beyond when needed, been there forever & is reliable.

Accountant Bob has mastered Excel & the rest of Office, and is a good manager.

No wonder they're hated, they are what work is supposed to look like.

The longer I think about it - colour, mien, respect for law, organisation, authority, communciation, way how participation in censure of Word Bearers, Thousand Sons and possibly II and XIth ... they were W40k Gendarmerie in both civil (Corpo de Carabinieri) and military sense. For whom bolt was as valid as quill, both wielded with same precision. Also - Roboute did Hexarchy before it was cool.

Too bright a shine draws eyes of envy.

mellifluous

My favorite legion and Primarch! 💪🏽🙏🏽

Also I like how in this video its "The Ultramarines stayed behind after a conquest to rebuild and make loyal worlds, and the Administratum loved it!

And then in the Word Bearers it was "The Word Bearers stayed behind after a conquest to rebuild and make loyal worlds, and the Administratum HATED IT, IT WAS WAY TOO SLOW"

I guess there's something to be said for being as handsome as Big G, dad lets you get away with stuff your brothers can't.

I love how the Space Marines were supposed to be replacements for the Thunder Warriors, because the Thundies kept going nuts and attacking people, and yet only the Ultramarines actually did as they were told reliably.

How do you describe Ultramar and it's Realm? 'It Endured.'

That ultramarine banner at the beginning looks like its making a face like this U ~ U

Circa Great Crusade Ultramar was arguably, the nearest thing to a microcosm of what The Imeperium Of Man was originally meant to be.

I love that picture of Guilliman, Magnus, the solar auxilia , the thousand suns and ultramarines all just hanging out. It's one of the few times we get to really see what we lost because of the heresy. (or at least the important stuff that was lost)

oh

Don't smurf with the Ultramarines unless you want your smurf ripped out through your smurf!

Great series :) just where did you get that north of 200k for Alpha Legion, never heard that they are one of the biggest legions.... I tought they were one of the smalest, need more info :) GREAT CHANNEL

Believe - 1 Corinthians 15 Chapter 1 to 4; Romans 10 Chapter 9 : 10; The New Testament - Bible. Jesus Christ is God, Believe in Him, Jesus Christ Saves. Glory and Thanks to Lord and God Jesus Christ.

For those of us who love military history & Warhammer, the Black Books/FW stuff is the lore we crave. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this down. It is greatly appreciated. Ave Imperator!

I love guilliman as this perfect 1st empire bonapartist destroying the old feudal relations of the long night

This video has given me a new appreciation for the idea of a Lorgar-Guilliman rivalry.
Beforehand, the rivalry seemed a touch random, but Oculus really touches on an element you can see in both primarchs - i.e. massive reformation of a planets infrastructure to their vision.

Thank you oculus

So can we have more videos?

Your work is always absolutely brilliant! The books of HH and 40K vary from sublime to adequate....for the bits that i just stomach going through this channel provides excellent explanation and entertainment

Excellent record Historator.

Are you planning on continuing the Arks of Omen story? The two parts you have done are perhaps your finest work so far.

Please continue the story!

The Ultramarines Legion, warborne were essentially an exponentially expanding Legion. Imagine the Hersey never occurred. What their numbers would be like now in the 40k millennium

Yeah so their origin is this. Terran born humans and erhm gene labs yeah there u go

where is my vraks video

how many other chapters have PDFs, auxilia etc running around with chapter colours and iconography?? 🤔
i cannot think of any lolz

Lol Merica

Where da badab war p5?!

I wish I could subscribe to you more than one time

Moarrr

I miss the halcyon days of butt stuff kaiju

Great channel. Love the hours you put into it but for heaven's sake shut that angelic background music down. I am trying to listen to an hour here and that crap is driving me nuts.

Man id love if GW featured a chapter OTHER than freakin' ultramarines is their games. Battlesector was cool for that but its ancient at this point. The grey knights of chaosgates are more like a special unit than anything else. Oh well, nice video, like always.

Robute Guilliman, the Universe’s greatest large adult son

Cues up more of the Oculus sleep club.

Dude your audio quality is so crisp. Well played.

Every. Frakking. Time! Quality! To be good enough that I'm mentally transported across time and space. Leaving me at a cognitor, smoking IHO sticks while reading this report with accompanying narration. I can hear the gears whirring as the machine presents pict capture, and weird scratchy vid. You can also hear the weight of what this scribe has learned and is attempting to summarize. It's not just information, the excitement, the grief, the anger! (Too dignified to yell though)
Please. Keep. Doing. This! I've said it before and I'll repeat it. You provide some of the most interesting, entertaining sanity fuel on the net! You are amazingly talented. (If it's just you solo, wow! If there's other people helping, wow! (Louder). Thank you again sir!

Thank you again, Oculus.

If the Imperium has any hope, it's with Guilliman I think

Three cheers for the Reasonable Marines.

It's also worth noting that Guilliman really, really wanted to kill Gallan, but relented at the last moment and left his fate to the Senate. They were so impressed by Guilliman's restraint when realistically nobody could have stopped him that they would go on to promote Konor's dream of their own volition.

We march for Macragge and we shall know no fear!
For all time. (thx)
