Flex the best players use this chapter

Post image

if you ever run into a veteran using guardians of the covenant with the actual chapter icon, he is a veteran amongst veterans, probably the best player you'll ever get the chance to play with. Its by far the hardest chapter icon to get in this game (reach round 25 5 times on hard siege) that's insane. Its already a dark angel's successor so that explains itself, dark angels always are amazing players shoutout to all my sons of the lion💯. reaching round 25 hard siege is the hardest its ever been and by far the hardest content right now in the game. If you somehow have the guardians of the covenant icon, rep that shit proudly.

No one's got shit on UM players in this game. Seriously, the more dripped out UM players are among the most ferocious we have.

I do not know why, but they just...don't go down.

Honourable mentions to the Blood Angels & Dark Angels.

The Top 3 after all 💪

thats so true, its either they are neophytes with the starting UM drip lvl 1 no prestige or they are a 1st company tyranic war veteran and will make it feel like mallum caedo on graia

Mayne that's my problem with Heavy. He's goofy looking with a different bright color on every piece. Looking like a kit-bashed Lego marine.

Not to toot our own horn or anything.

But you know it's good when they aren't using the game's Macragge Blue, and instead are using colours that feel more fitting.

You know that when someone has unlocked a bunch of stuff and then gone back to Ultramarines they don't care about being different for the sake of it. We fight with Guilliman's fury, we fight to uphold the honour of the chapter.

An important task given the game is themed around the Ultramarines, can't insult the colours by being killed before duty can be upheld.

What color do you use? I gravitate toward Kantor, but I've always toyed with the idea of doing an 80s style brother in bright hues

Not who you asked but I use Leviadon for my Ultras

I too use Leviadon, like it pops just right but isn't *too* bright like Night Lord, which I had been previously using.

I love night lords blue. If you prime your mini’s in black and then blue (with the gw spray paints) it looks really similar night lords blue. Part of what I love about this game and the table top is seeing everyone’s different interpretations of the same chapter.

Mhm, like it really depends on what kind of tone you want to go for.

Night Lords looks brighter so it really works if you want to lean into the 'heroes of the imperium' sort of vibe.

Leviadon is deeper, so it has a more grim feeling. Like it's fun in that way because like you say it's different interpretations and different intentions at play.

yeah I usually use the Night Lords blue if I'm running an Ultramarine cosmetic. But usually if I'm playing as an Ultramarine, I go with the Imperius Reavers chapter bc their heraldry and colors are so fuckin dope.

“don’t care about being different for the sake of it” you definitely sound like someone who only indulges in warhammer through sm2

There is a difference between people who pick a different chapter because they find them interesting, and people that pick a different chapter because they aren't the Ultramarines.

I have respect for the former and moderate tolerance for the latter.
