{{Topquote|Listen to your blue-clad wretches yelling of courage and honour, courage and honour, courage and honour. Do you even know the meaning of those words? Courage is fighting the kingdom which enslaves you, no matter that their armies outnumber yours by ten-thousand to one. You know nothing of courage. Honour is resisting a tyrant when all others suckle and grow fat on the hypocrisy he feeds them. You know nothing of honour.|[[Angron]], proving that a stopped clock is right twice a day}}

Unless you are new here, then you should be well informed by now over the really [[Skub|skubtastic]] history involving the [[Ultramarines]] and the dreaded [[Matt Ward|Ward]]. While Ward was indeed responsible for the immense [[butthurt]] and [[Rage|rage]] caused on [[/tg/]] and to [[1d4Chan]] itself (Seriously just look at the pages history, it was a war on green and red edits), Ward himself wasn't completely at fault here, [[Games Workshop]] is just as much to blame for their irresponsible and careless attitude in handling fluff to a ''clearly'' biased player and gave him the green light to write whatever things Ward could come out with. However after Ward's quite unexpected departure in 2014 (He came back in 2016 though, just hope he can control his Ultramarine urges now(he can’t)), the Ultramarines have been getting....less of the limelight like they used to back in the heydays of Codex: Space Marines 5th Edition. Nowadays, the [[Blood Angels]], [[Space Wolves]], [[Dark Angels]] and even the [[Deathwatch]] are getting more in the spotlight. While the Ultramarines are still the de facto mascots of WH40K, it seems that the post-Ward era has seen the return of more... [[Pauldrons|diverse forms of Space Marine Chapters]]. Furthermore, the [[Horus Heresy]] lineups made by our favorite [[Forgeworld]] has been giving the Ultramarines and the rest of the Space Marine Legions an equal respect in both their lore and crunch which was unthinkable back in the day, "The [[Salamanders]] and [[Raven Guard]] get their own moment to shine without the Ultras overshadowing them? How preposterous!" would be the most likely answer if went back in time and told our past selves over this.

Additionally the Forgeworld model for [[Roboute Guilliman]] has been well received by fans with some commenting that of all the [[Primarch]] models, Guilliman's was one of the best designed and posed (although the truth is that his armour has went from Greco-Roman in style to Marvel, and in spite of all his Mary Sue-ness, he's still likely to get stomped over by an [[Imperial Knight]] or Assault Terminators). What does this mean for our (in)famous blueberries? A redemption of sorts? Winning back the crowd? Earning back the respect it once had? The answer could be all of them. Whatever is the case, the legacy of Ward and the Ultramarine fiasco did impact the way players see the Ultramarines and the Space Marines to an extent either negatively or positively (More inclined to the negativity though). But seeing as how GeeDubs still has the [[Robin Cruddace|Cruddhead]], it can be seen with some sigh of relief that GeeDubs seems to be back to their grips now in terms of fluff at least.
