Editing Ultramarines: The Movie (section)

==Plot==
It is the 41st millennium, a savage and grim dark future when mankind battles for survival in a galaxy riven by bloodshed and destruction. Humanity teeters on the brink of extinction, assailed on all sides by the most grievous enemies - aliens, mutants and traitors. Only the colossal numbers of the Imperial Guard and the indomitable strength of the Space Marines, genetically-enhanced elite warriors of superhuman power and devastating ability, can offer any defense. Of all the ancient and venerable chapters of Space Marines, the Ultramarines are arguably the most powerful, most respected and most fearless. Pure of purpose and loyal to the Emperor, the Ultramarines are regarded as the most driven and strict, the most disciplined and courageous of Space Marine chapters.

Captain Severus, a revered veteran warrior with a considerable reputation, has received an urgent request for assistance from the remote backwater planet Mithron. Mithron has only one site of strategic importance, a shrine defended for countless generations by a full company of Space Marines from the Imperial Fists Chapter. What dreadful fate could have overcome them that they ask for help?

Leaving the bulk of his company on Algol to prosecute the war against the nightmarish Tyranids, Severus sets off for Mithron with only a ten-man squad for support. Ultima Squad is a raw, untrained band of battle brothers, all recently promoted from the ranks of Space Marine Scouts and thirsting for glory. Mithron will be their first taste of action as fully fledged Ultramarines. Severus, with his sergeant Crastor and his apothecary Pythol, knows they’ll need to keep a careful watch on the recruits.

On the tough and unforgiving surface of Mithron, Ultima Squad discovers that a terrible battle has taken place. The shrine has been attacked, and some great evil has been unleashed. As unseen dangers close in around them, the recruits have to mount a tense and deadly insertion to find any surviving Imperial Fists, and the reason behind the distress beacon.

For ambitious new recruits Proteus and Verenor, competitors for their captain’s approval, the reality of the task ahead becomes clear. They want a glorious first taste of combat as fully fledged Space Marines to prove they are worthy of selection. But this mission is a savage fight for survival and, if the Ultramarines fail, events on Mithron will threaten the fate of millions of densely populated Imperial worlds starting with their fortress home of Macragge...

Things got off to a flying start as the Ultramarines disembark their Thunderhawk and take to the field, unfortunately enough for the Ultima Squad,(and great for /tg/) a full 2 Ultramarines die VERY early on in the movie, (keep in mind there are 13 of the bastards) then another dies, to the joy of every veiwer. After that, the Ultramarines make their way into the Shrine, unknowingly shadowed by a powerful Daemon of Khorne... Anyway, when they get inside the Daemon shows himself and kills off Severus by throwing him and himself off a cliff. For some reason however, Severus left orders to allow Proteus to take command.. huh, strange. So, instead of leaving this hellhole, Proteus commands the Squad to remain with him as he investigate the beacon. They happen upon the Chaplain Carnak (voiced by John Hurt) and his bodyguard Nidon, who are the only survivors of the Shrine Guard. They guard a tome which they claim was granted to the Imperial Fists at their founding by the God-Emperor, however things are not as they seem. The Imperial Fists and Ultramarines then begin the journey to their extraction point only to find the Chaos Space Marines in wait. After a pitched battle against the Traitors, wherein many Ultramarines are slain, and a Crozius Arcanum proves to be a canon raping sonic blaster,  Captain Severus returns and turns the tide in the favor of the Loyalists.

After returning to their Battle Barge, Proteus and Severus confront Carnak and Nidon, after inspecting the Codex that they guard and finding it empty of text, Severus executes Carnak, however, it would seem it was all deception... For the apparent Captain of the Ultima Squad reveals himself to  be the same Daemonic Spawn of Khorne who we saw at the Shrine!! 

'''WHAT A TWEEEST'''!!!

Nidon, Proteus and Verenor pursue the Daemon, finding the remaining battle brothers wounded heavily, one dead and Pythol hanging on by a mere thread. They corner the beast in the Reclusiam, finding him engaged in a dark ritual to bring forth a legion of daemons. Nidon is summarily slain and the Warp Spawn attempts to draw Proteus to Chaos, Pythol appears and strikes the beast from behind, causing it to flee while roaring out; "FORGET GLORY! GET UP AND KILL THIS BEAST!" despite this badassery, Pythol too is slain. The only hope for out Ultramarine heroes is the mighty Thunder Hammer kept in the Reclusiam, remembering a technique taught to him by Severus, Proteus smashes away the beast with... a Space Marine Helmet... Huh.. Anyway, Proteus claims the hammer and proceeds to open up a Holy can of FUCK YOU! on said Daemon, sending it and the Heretical tome back to warp. Only Proteus and Verenor survive. 

At the end of the film, they have been granted leadership over the Ultima Squad, and are presiding over a new group of Space Marines that they will lead into battle with these words;

"''You are about to receive the honor of going into combat for the first time as Ultramarines... You shall make your battle pledges upon the sacred Warhammer, wielded by the greatest of our veterans; it has slain both alien and daemon alike. One day you shall be worthy of it, but until then, you shall kneel before it. We march for Macragge! And we shall know no fear! ''

A fine first attempt at a Warhammer 40K film. Buy it (and the carrying case, and the comic book, and the making of extras, and all the other swag that comes with it. No, you don't have a choice, it's everything or nothing)(heresy, digital is better) so we can have a better one.
