“Raise your blades not for glory, but for the future of the Imperium!”
– Roboute Guilliman

With a domain extending over a large part of the Eastern Fringe, the Ultramarines were counted amongst the most proficient Legions during the Great Crusade. They arrived, they saw, they conquered, they built. None of their brother Legions has kept their conquests in such an impeccable state, each planet a veritable gift to the Imperium. Their interlocking tactics have been honed through extensive training in the theoreticals and practicals of war and now they have been called to join a new fight.

The Ultramarines join Warhammer The Horus Heresy: Legions as the first new faction of the Tempest expansion! The new faction will become collectable tomorrow, October 18th at around 12 pm UTC, with renewed art and mechanics ready to hold the line against any betrayer who dares threaten the integrity of the Imperium! Will you muster the Sons of Guilliman and fight the looming tides of darkness in the Tempest expansion? Keep reading to find out how to collect them!


New keyword: Strategy

The Ultramarines are counted among the most versatile Legions of the Imperium. For every enemy action, there is a crushing rebuttal so ingrained in their system that a massive change of strategies is almost instinctive to them. To represent this, many cards of the new collection have been given the Strategy keyword.

Cards with Strategy have two different effects, but only one of them can be used. When playing a card with Strategy, the player will choose one of the two different effects stated on the card. Keeping your strategy flexible and being able to answer every threat posed by the enemy will be key in laying your path to victory as the Ultramarines.


Ultramarines Warlords

When the Imperium faced its gravest betrayal to date, the Ultramarines were assaulted and their entire domain shrouded in shadows. In the darkest times, many heroes rose to the occasion and forever etched their names among the stars. Three of these commanders will lead the new Ultramarines into battle when the Legion joins Warhammer The Horus Heresy Legions:

  • Remus Ventanus: The Saviour of Calth, who led the counterattack against the Word Bearers during the Battle of Calth’s darkest moments.
  • Marius Gage: One of the first recruits of the XIIIth, he implacably pursued and vanquished the Word Bearers during the Horus Heresy.
  • Roboute Guilliman: Primarch of the Ultramarines. A warrior and statesman who rebuilds the worlds he conquers for the glory of the Imperium.

New flashback event: the Cleansing of Ariggata

A new timed event will allow all players to play with the Ultramarines in draft mode. During the Great Crusade, an Ultramarines and World Eaters joint compliance turned into a bloodbath at Angron’s discretion. Tensions rose when the Ultramarines saw the acts of their brother Legion.
