The Ultramarines Get Their Moment to Shine

The Ultramarines, often seen as the standard-bearers of Warhammer 40K, have always been a bit of an enigma. They're the go-to faction for beginners, but they've lacked unique models and special units that other Space Marine Chapters boast. This changed recently with the release of new Ultramarines miniatures, including the Victrix Honour Guard and updated versions of iconic characters like Marneus Calgar and Cato Sicarius. These new models are a game-changer. They're incredibly detailed, with intricate designs that make them stand out. The Victrix Honour Guard, in particular, showcases how far the models have come. Compared to older versions, these new figures are sleek and impressive, without being overly flashy. One of the best things about these new models is that they can be used as a standalone unit. In previous editions, they were often seen as just Calgar's personal guards. Now, they can be fielded on their own, making them a true representation of the Ultramarines in the current edition of 40K. The Ultramarines have always been about being the epitome of Space Marines. They don't have a unique gimmick, but they excel in everything. This new range of models finally gives them the recognition they deserve. It's a fresh start for a faction that has often been overlooked, despite being the most recognizable in the Warhammer 40K universe.
