Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - CODEX: Ultramarines

Product Information

Stratagems, Warlord Traits, Tactical Objectives, Relics of Macragge, the Indomitus discipline, defining the ways that the Ultramarines wage war; Many Space Marine strike forces are constructed around squads drawn from a single Battle Company, heavily reinforced by elements of the Veteran, Scout and Reserve Companies. Terminators - Veteran battle-brothers, usually of the elite 1 st Company, who make use of Tactical Dreadnought Armour. In normal power armour, their Veteran status is often designated by a white helmet and a Maltese cross worn on their shoulder plate as their tactical specialty symbol. Bladeguard Veteran • Veteran • Veteran Intercessor • Veteran Assault Intercessor • Sternguard Veteran • Terminator ( Assault Terminator) The Blood Angels generally adhere closely to the organisation laid down in Roboute Guilliman's Codex Astartes, and the Chapter's Astartes are equipped in a similar manner to most other Space Marines.

For the insignia if you haven’t been blessed with the secrets to applying transfers I will outline it for you here. Every company has its own Dreadnoughts; after being interred in the metal sarcophagus, it is customary for a fallen Space Marine to fall under the care and maintenance of the Chapter Armoury, but to remain a part of the company in which he served. Not only are these venerable and mighty warriors valuable battlefield assets for the devastation they can wreak upon the foe, but they are also the living embodiment of their company's history and traditions. Each Dreadnought has its battle honours inscribed into the very metal of its encasement by the Chapter's artificers to celebrate the many brave actions in which it took part. Whether they be Primaris Marine Intercessors, Vanguard Marine jump troops or Terminator-armoured strike squads, they are often denoted as the Chapter's pre-eminent warriors by their white helms. Furthermore, the Codex has been reanalyzed, reinterpreted and modified countless times over the centuries, including most recently by Guilliman himself. Regardless, the Codex Astartes remains, as it has always been, the Space Marines' authoritative guide to waging war. As such, it is revered by every battle-brother as a holy text; the wisdom of the ancients serving as both scripture and the unbending rod by which they are measured.When fighting alongside other forces of the Imperium of Man, it is common for the Imperial commander to choose a simple symbol to act as the campaign badge. This army badge is used for the duration of the campaign and identifies every squad and vehicle in the task force. In most Chapters, Space Marines progress through the Reserve Companies -- from the 9th through to the 6th. During his time in the Reserve Companies, a battle-brother will prove his mettle while learning new methods of warfare. They shall be pure of heart and strong of body, untainted by doubt and unsullied by self-aggrandisement. They will be bright stars on the firmament of battle, Angels of Death whose shining wings bring swift annihilation to the enemies of Man. So it shall be for a thousand times for a thousand years, unto the very end of eternity and the extinction of mortal flesh."

In the latter case, the vehicles are given badges appropriate to the company they will serve and are assigned a simple numerical designator. This number is repeated on the crews' badges, if the vehicle is not manned by a Techmarine novitiate from the Armoury. D. Thin Edge Highlight of Fenrisian Grey – Much of a repeat of the previous step but you are covering slightly less of the area than in the previous and the your lines are noticeably thinner, less than half the width the Calgar blue, and covering about 50-75% of the edge area focusing the raised portions. Space Marine vehicle company designation roundels; note the colour of the roundel corresponds to the company's Codex-approved colour. Vigilus Defiant • Vigilus Ablaze • Shadowspear • Psychic Awakening ( Phoenix Rising • Faith and Fury • Blood of Baal • Ritual of the Damned • The Greater Good • Saga of the Beast • Engine War • War of the Spider • Pariah) No matter its composition, the timing and coordination of a vertical assault are always vital. With correct landing coordinates, Drop Pods can be the ultimate terror weapons, hurtling out of the sky to land at the very heart of the foe.Librarians - Wear blue armour, irrespective of what Chapter they belong to so that they can be immediately identified by their brethren, and wear their Chapter badge as normal. This practice is now widely ignored, even among the more Codex-compliant Chapters. The specialised nature of each of the Reserve Companies sees them deployed in quite specific circumstances. The battleline warriors of the 6th and 7th Companies will often act as crews for large, independent formations of the various armoured vehicles deployed by the Chapter, allowing commanders to field entire companies of anti-grav skimmers, battle tanks or other swift assault vehicles. Consider the magnitude of your duty at leisure, but act without hesitation when action is required."
