As an ultramarine player it’s good to see some actual content on them and not just smurf marine jokes. They’re the best casual army because they’re easy to learn and hard to master and blue is just the best colour

I didn’t start ultra marine because I thought they were the most popular… turns out slot of people think the same. The subreddit for ultramarines is actually tiny which may correlate to how few people actually collect them. I have a dark angel chapter but kind of wish I went ultramarines now cus I like my army to be in one colour. :( wish I could turn back time.
Great video guys! I was left waiting for a full army shot to see how many Ultramarines Brian truly has but it never came. The slow, zoomed in panning is great but please show us the whole army as well.
I've been into Ultramarines since 1996 when I was 6 years old and got into Warhammmer. I literally don't care whatsoever what anyone else thinks of them. They're the best chapter. They're the most beautiful in terms of aesthetic and lore.
In the late 80s I bought 'THE' space marine box and as I liked blue and thought I could possibly paint a 'U' I started an Ultramarine army. I left the hobby 5-6 ears later and returned mid 8th ed. Dam was I shocked, and happy, about what they had become. I've not returned to them as an army (one day), but at least my son now has!
The sweater is glorious, and that blue will be near impossible to replicate.....he said in a previous BR that it was a mix of like five different paints. He does have a recipe but it’s not released. If I had to start anywhere I’d start with standard UM blue, a bit of Calgar blue, maybe a little of Vallejo blue green. Obviously most heavily on the UM blue. But they have a torquoise-y feel to them and knowing these guys it comes from a dash of Vallejo blue green #vallejosponsoradrian
Also it seems like he did an undercoat with something more close to a navy blue, it really makes itself apparent in recesses and in the lower areas of the vehicles/ centurions legs....food for thoight
When I started doing 40k, I knew nothing about different chapters and even thought this one plague marine with plasma gun (in old magazine picture) was just some random space marine and that their back bags were some sorta jump packs or something 😅 This was in 2001 when I bought my first box of 5 marines and thought the blue and yellow looked cool, so I painted those first ones that. Obviously it was Ultramarines. I had 5 paints for them: Blood red for the bolters and other red bits (bolters were red back then 😆). Chainmail for the metal parts. Ultramarines blue for the blue parts. Golden yellow for all the bits which are now golden (they were yellow then). And Goblin green for base. That's all. I don't remember what was the second box I bought, but probably was that old command squad, which was such a joy to paint, because it was all new to me. And then I started learning about the rules and chapters etc... first I just wanted to paint something. But been Ultramarines collector ever since and never thought they were boring. Sure, in earlier editions (like 3rd...) they were bland with 0 special rules, but of course interesting characters made up for it for me. Still got those old metal Marneus Calgar and Tigurius models (not the 1st gen Calgar tho, that one who's sitting) and they look just so tiny compared to the current ones 🤣 But I'm going to use them in some games none the less. I've collected different armies as well. Orks (speed freekz in earlier editions), Necrons, Sisters of Battle, Nurgle, Eldar, a bit of Imperial Guard... Last Chancers (that was actually fun to play with!)... But most of them I've sold. Through out all these years, not a single model from my Ultramarine army has been sold or lost and I still remember which of my models was the very first I've ever painted, even when it have had some recoloring done to it.
I'm about to dig into an Ultramarines army after playing 2 years of Tau. This video was super helpful. Definitely feel like I'm making the right choice.
Really, I initially chose ultramarines because the blue and gold is just a beautiful combination of colors. Then I find out after choosing them that GW apparently supports them the most out of any faction (with models and such)
The reward for putting up with smurf jokes and haters is having one of the coolest armies in 40k. Fun to paint, nerf-proof due to not excelling in any one category aside from characters, and great lore for those of you readers. Just finished reading Nightbringer and painting my Ultramarines in 4th company colors to go with Uriel Ventris.
I would love a codex breakdown for each army. Sort of going over what each unit/relic/hq/ strategem and talk about what it is good at and what it could be used for.
I definitely fall under the category of not wanting to choose Ultramarines bc they're seen as vanilla. But imo nothing looks better than a blue ultramarine captain with that iconic red helmet. Love these videos, really helping me decide on what faction to go with!
I quite like Ultramarines. I find I am a jack of all trades master of none with some things with hobbies and skills so I like that vibe they have. Plus they have a roman feel which is epic.
Nice army showcase, Brian's models look amazing. Most important question, where did Brian get his jumper from and does it come in other factions/chapters?
I just got into 40k last summer. I'm up to 5k points in Ultramarines. I was never jealous of other people's armies but I really envy you with that sweater.
wow 5k since last summer? i went ultras same time frame and have just gone over 3k. i feel like i went in hard too. kudos to you brother. for ultramar!
@@joeparker2999 I went in hard also but lockdowns were tough to deal with and painting and collecting my blue legion has helped me cope. I am slowing down though.
I'm paraphrasing here but there's a short story in the Horus Heresy series where an Ultramarine captain follows the teachings of Guilliman to the letter and still loses (it was a training exercise I believe), only for Guilliman to say "Err, dummy, don't follow my texts to the letter, use some initiative and imagination...."
Back when I started, the Ultramarines really were the bland Mary Sues people still complain about. I'm very happy to see that they have real flavor now and feel more than the "Matt Ward Marines" of decades past. Even with those improvements though, we could still do with them being a bit less overrepresented, even if all we get is some of their successor chapters mixed in. It feels like Ultramarines appear prominently in every codex and publication. Ultramarine Fatigue is very real.
I really like your Ultramarines, maybe after I've collected Dark Angels (Ravenwing and Deathwing) I can start down that rabbit hole. Right now I'm really into Imperial Knights. I hated them in 8th because they trashed my Imperial Guard every time. But, now that time has healed my crushed spirit I took a second look and really fell in love with those big dakka dakka mechs. Since super heavy tanks aren't in a great place this edition I decided to bring a super heavy detatchment of knights to play with a small patrol of scions for dropping in and deploying scramblers. It's been working out amazingly so far and I'm excited about ITC events happening again in my area around SoCal. Amazing collection and video guys!
Brian, the ultramarines Scions of Guilliman doesn't effect bolter discipline because you cannot rapid fire bolters if you advance. Scions says if they haven't advanced or fell back. This would mean they couldn't advance and rapid fire as you imply in the video. As they are ultramarines, the can still fall back and shoot allowing them to rapid fire, but advancing and shooting is a nono.
Nice to see another ultra marine owner who doesn’t spend an hour just adding highlights and different shades and shadows and such, I just put a few highlights and some black wash and brown wash on the legs.
Just having Imperium keywords and Space marine keyworded in are typically good enough reasons to collect from a competitive standpoint, always have great souping and utility options. but ultramarines are definitely a very good starting point for any beginner for sure
I'm a Tau fan (more specifically the Farsight Enclave) but I've always had 2nd thoughts about whether or not I should start my first collection as Space Marines because all the stuff they have are so cool compared the the models we get for the Tau. I mean, The Tau Combat Patrol speaks for itself lmao.
For Ultramar! I was thinking I wanted to start a space marine army but like you I am a fan of dakka so as I was flipping through the codex I saw the imperial fists and am torn between them I don't know which one is better because I want more dakka but also the poster boys are always good any opinions?
Love that you put this video up the same day that GW just showed that ad-mech is getting the las cannon rules that space marine players have been begging for lol!
For me even as a kid 20 odd years ago i always thought i would either like ultra marines or blood angels for space marines. I have a set of basic space marines atm and was wondering what i should go with. I think im going for the boys in blue.
I really like this type of video, but it would be nice if you could include an actual army overview. So that it is possible to see the army as a whole. This collection is top nice not to show in a total view. Anyways, I am routing for the mordian iron guard as well as the night lords. Ave dominus nox!
我真的很喜歡極限戰士戰團，或許想他們說的我只需要做很單純的事情，但是我的對手們也都知道這件事情，所以我也必須動腦去改變 I really like the warband, probably like what they say I like natural things, but my opponents know it too, so I have to really get my brain moving too
I’m currently finishing my necron force. However I did get the space marine codex also & I got the indomitus box set. So I built them & painted them ultramarines as it’s the chapter I loved if I played marines. Not yet as I’m building a lumineth force for AOS but at some point. I plan on coming back to them at some point building a larger force cool video by the way. Love your bat reps 👍🏻
Awesome, Ever since I was a teenager I have been interested in SpaceMarines and especially Ultramarines. Now that I am amidst painting my first army it is the Boys in Blue, and this makes me feel so much more confident about picking them. Thanks, the models look great. Now, if I could only figure out how to get the transfers to work. ^^;
I struggled first with the decals/transfers. Then i tried vallejo’s decal fix and decal softener. They REALLY help to smooth them. Especially on the pauldrons, you can get them perfectly smooth with those. :)

False gold is the best color but blue is cool to also ultramarines aren’t Ultramarine rather cobalt blue
Nah youz rong dere oomie boy, green iz best
@@Wasker20233 wot? Whats you talking about wiff Dat gubbins? Green iz da best color cuz dats da orky color
Only reason the Ultramarines beat Orks.... Is that Blue is lucky
The blue alone is a compelling argument, it looks fantastic
yeah I wonder how he did it, wish I could ask him...
I prefer the Dark Angels legion colours the mix of black and white with all ghe Order and Host details are perfect
@@mattmark94 On stream he said he uses Reaper Paints blue through an airbrush.
@@simonmann6993 which blue tho? Looks like maybe Dragon blue or Marid Blue
In that color they're basically novamarines
Army overviews are never bad. Get a whole collection of these and be the go to source for people looking for their first/next army.
Absolutely agree. Would have saved me sooo much time if something like that was around when I was picking my first army.
I know it is pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Trey Bryant lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Lorenzo Jax Yup, I have been using flixzone for months myself =)

Been with the Ultramarines since the 90s. Glad to hear you point out that they are not as "bland" and boring as people think. Love that you went bright on them.
I cannot unsee that sweater. Great video.
The ultramarines are so iconic, for good reason. Look at how gorgeous they are on the table.
I didn’t start ultra marine because I thought they were the most popular… turns out slot of people think the same. The subreddit for ultramarines is actually tiny which may correlate to how few people actually collect them.

I can't second this enough
I just got into the game last year, and Ultramarines were my first Army.
Love the boys in Blue.
I've been into Ultramarines since 1996 when I was 6 years old and got into Warhammmer. I literally don't care whatsoever what anyone else thinks of them. They're the best chapter. They're the most beautiful in terms of aesthetic and lore.
In the late 80s I bought 'THE' space marine box and as I liked blue and thought I could possibly paint a 'U' I started an Ultramarine army. I left the hobby 5-6 ears later and returned mid 8th ed. Dam was I shocked, and happy, about what they had become. I've not returned to them as an army (one day), but at least my son now has!
THE AVENGING SON
Am I the only one that watched the intro multiple times because it was that good?
NGL before this video I thought they were bland, but now after reading the lore, I legitimately they are pretty interesting
you mean the lore where the guard fight for decades against chaos only for three marines to kill like 4 cultists and "win the day"
I'm also a big fan of clean lines and crisp trim. Well done. For Ultramar!
To be fair, I did buy a Gulliman model.......to kitbash with Ghazkul to make Ultra Ghazkul with Rowboat Girlyman’s head being carried by Merkari.
One good reason is that every time a new model is released there's a 33% chance you'll be hyped for an addition to your forces kappa
33% is under shooting it tbh.
The most important question is: what your recipe for such a good blue?!
For the models or the sweater lol
The models, I hate ugly sweaters.
Btw for anyone reading this: if you know what kind of blue they used on these UM, please let me know. Thanks ✌🏻
After saying His sweater is ugly No One Will probably answer #HowRude

Bryan has the most awesome UM Christmas sweater ever!!!
You can feel the love Brian has for the good old boys in blue
Salamanders and their successors will be my favorites, always!
AUMAB
I very much enjoy collecting ultramarine corpses to add my bases. Theyre so many of them in the galaxy you cant help but trip over their corpses.
That light blue is really cool, making me think of doing some of that color instead of dark.
When I started doing 40k, I knew nothing about different chapters and even thought this one plague marine with plasma gun (in old magazine picture) was just some random space marine and that their back bags were some sorta jump packs or something 😅 This was in 2001 when I bought my first box of 5 marines and thought the blue and yellow looked cool, so I painted those first ones that.

I'm about to dig into an Ultramarines army after playing 2 years of Tau. This video was super helpful. Definitely feel like I'm making the right choice.
THAAAT SWEATER!!!!! 😂👍
... WILL LIVE FOREVEEEER!!
I'd like to request a painting tutorial for these. They look great.
As memeable as they might be, I gotta admit the Ultramarines are quite cool:) and such beautiful painting you achieved here!!
“There will be more Ultramarines.”
“We Know.”
“Toilet bowl marines”
Ultramarines have more characters than Harlequins have units, of course there will be more.
Excellent.
1) you want to win without having to be awake for the game
2) you like cheese
Where can I get a sweater like that? As an Ultramarine army owner, I must have that sweater!
Beautiful army, the blue really pops out! Love it
Really, I initially chose ultramarines because the blue and gold is just a beautiful combination of colors. Then I find out after choosing them that GW apparently supports them the most out of any faction (with models and such)
Everyone collects Ultramarines at some point... After all what other chapter do people regularly paint the dead marines on their bases as?
I paint mine as dark angels, you always have to fight chaos
They do that because even they know blue looks awesome! 😁
I'd love for this guy to do a paint tutorial that blue is beautiful and those red cables are just *chefs kiss*

I want to paint up a modern ultramarine army in the 2e style. I had some way back when and loved them.
The Ultramarines are my first and favorite army. I LOVED this video and THAT SWEATER!!!
The fact there the posters boys is why I dislike them. But I do like the way you covered them. Keep up the great work

So so timely. I was having massive dilemmas over which chapter to play, I think you've tipped me into Ultras...
Sounds great. I will start with Black Templars... 😅
Nice vid guys... while not a fan of ultras now, they were my first army many years ago. Nice looking force though even still.
Do imperial fists next.... No I'm not biased
Edit: salamanders are also accept able
That is the best sweater ive seen in a while, fantastic!
I absolutely loathe that they are the poster boys but this is a very beautiful army and I like the justifications in this video
Loved this video, definitely hoping you make more like it!
Anytips starting my collection as soon as Amazon delivers the assault Intercesors and paint starter set
I am on a Kill Team Gallowfall project now but this makes me feel interested in my Ultramarines again.
The best example of having a nice and beautiful army without painting every miniature like a pro painter!
It was mid nineties and I bought Starquest. There were 3 choices of marines colors I stuck with blue since then.
I really like this type of video, but it would be nice if you could include an actual army overview. So that it is possible to see the army as a whole. This collection is top nice not to show in a total view.
