The Ultramarines are, in many ways, the exemplars of the many Chapters of the Space Marines. Their mighty Primarch, Roboute Guilliman, wrote the Codex Astartes, a tome which lays the foundation of tactics, heraldry, and combat doctrine by which most Adeptus Astartes operate. In battle, they use every resource available to them, deploying specialised units to execute their missions with discipline and efficiency.
If your wish is to protect the Imperium and do it by the book, this box is the perfect way to start a new Ultramarines collection – or expand an existing army – and save money compared to buying the kits individually. The army is led by Chief Librarian Tigurius, the most powerful psyker in the Chapter, and a versatile warrior who excels in any situation. A unit of Bladeguard Veterans acts as his bodyguard. Aggressors offer fire support and aren't afraid to get up close and personal with the foe. A squad of highly mobile Reivers are adept at taking vulnerable objectives and harassing enemy units. The Intercessor Squad are your line troops, ready to fill any gaps and add their firepower to the fight while holding key objectives. These 17 plastic miniatures represent a complete Ultramarines force for use in tight, tactical Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000. The rules for this Combat Patrol are available as a free download on the Warhammer Community website.

– 1x Chief Librarian Tigurius

The miniatures in this box are easy to customise with the addition of the new Ultramarines Upgrade Frame, which features 69 components, including shoulder pads, heads, holsters, weapons, and more.
The Aggressors can be armed with flamestorm gauntlets or auto boltstorm gauntlets, both with integrated power fists. There are also parts to build an optional Sergeant.
The Bladeguard Veterans have interchangeable heavy bolt pistols, swords, heads, shoulder pads, and shields, which can be held in their hand or attached to their backpack. There are parts to build an optional Sergeant, who can be armed with a neo-volkite pistol or a plasma pistol.

Each member of the squad can take an optional Reiver Grav-chute, and grapnel launchers are also included in the kit. Each Reiver can wear a full helmet or a half helmet, and there are parts to build an optional Sergeant who also has the option of a bare head.
The Intercessors have narrative options, including one Space Marine reloading and another ready to strike with his combat knife. There are also cosmetic options, including interchangeable heads, shoulder pads, pouches, holsters, purity seals, and more.
