Despite being found innocent, he may still have been demoted, as his helmet in the trailer bears the markings for a lieutenant, not a captain. Even so, this may not be the biggest change in Titus between the two games. Based on his armor and appearance it seems as if he has crossed the Rubicon Primaris, an incredibly dangerous surgical operation to convert a normal Astartes into a Primaris, a new breed of super-soldier with even greater physical and mental capabilities.
With his enhanced abilities Captain Titus will be taking on a new and terrible threat, the Tyranids. The Ultramarines have a special history with the extra-galactic hive mind and its swarm of insectoid horrors, being one of the first Chapters to fight against them.
The Ultramarine homeworld of Macragge was all but destroyed in the First Tyrannic Wars , and the new tactics that the Chapter invented to face the swarms represent the largest divergence from the Codex Astartes in their history. Since that war, the Ultramarines have developed a reputation in the Imperium as experts in Tyranid warfare, so it makes sense that Lieutenant Titus, both an Ultramarine and a Codex Astartes skeptic, would be deployed against them.
John has been writing about videogames for almost a decade, and playing them for almost three. Afterwards, Proteus is promoted to the rank of Sergeant with Verenor as his second in command, and both Astartes prepare to lead their own Ultramarine squad into battle. The final scene mirrors the opening one, showing the new Ultramarine recruits swearing on the same relic Thunder Hammer that Ultima Squad had sworn on and that Proteus had used to slay the daemon-possessed Severus.
Ultramarines used Image Metrics animated facial capture techniques. Advanced preview screenings of Ultramarines received generally favourable responses from a pool of selected viewers. The film itself has received mixed reviews, however, with the CGI and animations considered sub-par by some reviewers. The CGI makes the Ultramarines seem "tall" and "thin", whilst much of the "set" of the film is conveniently shrouded in dust; the largest gripe has to be that given the detail and creativity put into Warhammer artwork, the film looks and feels cheap, rushed, and simple.
After its release, the film received mixed reviews. Some critics praised the story, saying that it is short but well paced and with good character interaction while others said the story was simplistic, slow to get to the action, and lacked a sense of mystery and importance. The music has been seen as a positive aspect of the film, with one reviewer saying that the score was "ominous and awe-inspiring by turn; never over-powering but lending a real atmosphere to the film".
The film's attention to visual detail was also noted, with one reviewer stating, "Every piece of stained glass in the background tells a story". Warhammer 40k Wiki Explore. Imperium of Man.

Welcome to the New Goonhammer. In our How to Paint Everything series, we take a look at different armies of the Warhammer universe, examine their history and heraldry, and look at several different methods for painting them.
Following up on a prior article on how to paint the Thirteenth Primarch himself, we take a look at his legion and chapter: the Ultramarines.
They are the poster boys of Warhammer 40, and for many people, they probably are the first thing that come to mind when they think of 40K. Those people are wrong. They were notable for the mini-Imperium established by their Primarch, Roboute Guilliman, known as the Worlds of Ultramar. Unlike most of the grimdark bullshit of 40K, Ultramar is actually a cool place to live, by most standards, where people can live out relatively happy lives and enjoy some semblance of peace and prosperity.
Guilliman did not see Space Marines as Eternal Warriors but instead believed that developing peace-time skills like statesmanship was just as important as warfare. So that automatically makes them pretty cool. In 40K, Space Marines are often defined by how they adhere to or diverge from the Codex. The Codex dictated that Legions be broken into Chapters, established standard doctrines, battle company composition, squad heraldry, etc. Most recently, Ultramarines find themselves running point on Vigilus, pushing back Xenos and Chaos forces to prevent the Imperium Nihilus from being completely cut off from the Imperium proper.
As befits one of the main protagonists of the setting, Ultramarines have plenty of notable characters, many deserving of their own articles. We have covered Roboute Guilliman already but no discussion of the Ultramarines would be complete without mentioning their Chapter Master, Marneus Calgar.
Calgar is one of the oldest characters in the setting real-life old, not fictional old; the latter honor falls to Dante and is currently on his fourth model incarnation! Marnie is a veteran of the First Tyrannic War and for a while was more machine than man, having lost several limbs and an eye to the Tyranids. He got owned by Tyranids a lot but also did some really cool stuff like holding off an entire Ork Waagh! Calgar also holds the honor of being the first squatmarine to undergo the Calgarian Rites and become a Primaris Marine, resulting in a new and improved Marneus Calgar who was promptly owned on his own battleship by Chaos forces while fighting above Vigilus.
One of the great things about being so iconic is that Ultramarines are featured in tons and tons of great books. One of the worst things about being so iconic is that sometimes Nick Kyme writes a book featuring Ultramarines. It is told from multiple perspectives and has a number of interesting Ultramarines characters that help flesh out the Legion as more than just the boring Codex Marines many people seem to think they are.
It also features the single coolest Guilliman fight scene in any Black Library book. They largely focus on Guilliman himself rather than the Chapter as a whole but in fleshing out the Primarch, they add a lot of character to his sons as well, including the oft-derided Captain Cato Sicarius.
Like the two previously mentioned books, they do a lot to develop the main character in this case Marneus Calgar and are very fast and fun. Each of these star Primaris Marines and provide some interesting background on this new breed of Space Marine while telling fairly interesting stories that feature Death Guard, Iron Warriors and Orks as their respective antagonists.
They are all ultimately bolter porn but make for quick and entertaining reads. A notably absent recommendation is the Ultramarines series by Graham McNeill. Aside from the fact that I think Graham McNeill is a poor author with highly problematic treatment of female characters, these books are old enough that their portrayal of Space Marines feels very much at odds with the current fluff.
The Ultramarines read more like Frat Bros in Space than transhuman warriors fighting for a dying Imperium and a lot of the dialogue and characterization just feels outright dissonant, particularly when compared to something like Spear of the Emperor by Aaron Dembski-Bowden or Brothers of the Snake by Dan Abnett, which really capture the transhuman aspect of Space Marines.
They also have their own supplement. You can read more about how to play them in Start Competing: Space Marines. Ultramarines are THE codex Chapter and as such they follow all the heraldic conventions laid down by Roboute himself. This makes for a lot of fun opportunities for little details and visual interest, such as distinguishing a squad of veterans with white helmets, or picking out a specific sergeant as a veteran with a red helmet and white stripe, or individual squad markings, etc.
The adherence to codex markings is actually one of my favorite things about the Chapter because it adds some visual variety and also helps you tell micro-stories as you paint your squads and models. Ultramarines are vaguely Greco-Roman, and as such you can also make good use of certain motifs like laurels or helmet crests to help set models or units apart. Another option when thinking about heraldry is to use an alternative color scheme for a unit or set of units to distinguish them on the battlefield.
This gives the models a very distinct look while also looking cohesive with the rest of his force, you can learn more about it here. For any project, you want to have a plan!
