Editing Ultramarines (section)

==Quotes==
{{topquote|Chapters (not descended from Guilliman's geneseed) are disciples who owe their genetic inheritance to another [[Primarch]], but follow the [[Codex Astartes]] as keenly as their divergent heritage allows. While primarily composed of successor Chapters, this group also includes several Chapters of the [[First Founding]] - notably the [[Imperial Fists]], [[White Scars]] and the [[Raven Guard]]. <s>These chapters can never be Ultramarines, for their gene-seed is not that of [[Roboute Guilliman]]. Nevertheless, they will ever aspire to the standards and teachings of the great [[Primarch]].</s>|Fucking [[Matt Ward]]...}}
{{topquote|(Chapters who do not emulate the Ultramarines) are aberrants; chapters who, through quirk of gene-seed, mutation or stubbornness, eschew the Codex Astartes in favor of other structural and combat doctrines. Some, such as the [[Blood Angels]] and their successors, strive to be worthy of Guilliman's legacy, but their recalcitrant gene-seed drives them ever further from it. Others, such as the [[Space Wolves]] and the [[Black Templars]], remain stubbornly independent, looking to [[Primarch|their own founder's]] ways of war (which is hilarious for the Templars) and caring little of how they fare in the eyes of others. These aberrant Chapters were always few in number and their presence diminishes with each passing decade, for their gene-seed is no longer the source of fresh Chapters.|[[Matt Ward]], Ultramarines player, codex writer, [[Codex]]: [[Space Marines]], 5th Edition, p. 25.}}
{{topquote|The Ultramarines are undoubtedly the best Space Marines ever. Yes, really! Thanks to the heritage of Guilliman and their myriad heroic deeds, the Ultramarines are the exemplars of the Space Marines. With a few fringe exceptions who have severe mutations ([[Blood Angels]]) or stolid stubbornness ([[Space Wolves]] and [[Dark Angels]]) all [[Space Marine Chapter|Space marine chapters]] want to be like the Ultramarines and recognize [[Marneus Calgar]] as their [[spiritual liege]].|Matt Ward, Ultramarines player, codex writer, in the [[White Dwarf]] interview celebrating the release of Codex: Space Marines.}}
{{topquote|But your teachings…"<br>"Are yet flawed," said Guilliman. "No one, not even one such as I, can anticipate every possible outcome of battle. My words are not some holy writ that must be obeyed. There must always be room for personal initiative on the battlefield. You and I both know how one spark of heroism can turn the tide of battle. That knowledge and personal experience can only be earned in blood, and the leader in the field must always be the ultimate arbiter of what course of action should be followed.|[[Roboute Guilliman]], making a point that his successors would quickly forget about and [[Matt Ward|the writer above]] would ignore.}}
