The ''Ultramarines'' series by GrahamMcNeill delineates the adventures of one member of the titular Ultramarines, Captain Uriel Ventris: ''Nightbringer''; ''Warriors of Ultramar''; and ''Dead Sky, Black Sun'' (in the omnibus ''Ultramarines''); ''The Killing Ground'', ''Courage And Honour'', and ''The Chapter's Due''.

The Ultramarines (fan nickname Ultrasmurfs) are a chapter of {{Space Marine}}s in the {{Warhammer 40000}} universe. They're one of the more generic chapters within the CrapsackWorld that is the Warhammer 40,000 universe. In the game, they are considered the poster boy Space Marines, with about half the chapters deriving from the parent legion and Games Workshop using them for the majority of the artwork and material about Space Marines.

Their Primarch, Roboute Guilliman, wrote the [[BigBookOfWar Codex Astartes]], his treatise on Space Marine tactics . The Ultramarines and most of the Ultramarine spin-off chapters rigidly adhere to it almost religiously, refusing to deviate from its teachings. Others, such as the Space Wolves, ignore it entirely - often a source of friction.

Should not be confused with the DCComics superhero team of the same name. Also should not be confused with the pigment, although the Ultramarines ''do'' wear [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience ultramarine-coloured armor]]. And Games Workshop has a paint color entitled Ultramarine Blue, which is ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin you guessed it]]) ultramarine, and intended to be used to paint Ultramarines.

!!The chapter, and novels, contain examples of:

* AfterlifeExpress: The Omphalos Daemonium is a daemon train that transports souls.
* AlienGeometries: Honsou's fortress in Medrengard.
* AlienSky: Medrengard has a dull grey one in ''Dead Sky, Black Sun.''
* AlmostDeadGuy
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: In ''Courage and Honor'' when the Tau blow up the Administratum Tax Bureau.
* AMillionIsAStatistic: A short story in ''Planetkill'' ends with the annihilation of Tarsis Ultra, the same planet whose citizens the Ultramarines spent an entire book saving.
** In ''Warriors of Ultramar'' itself, the huge amount of deaths caused by the Tyranid invasion is oddly understated.
* ArmedWithCanon: There seems to be an ongoing war between GrahamMcNeill and [[AscendedFanboy Matt Ward]]. The former has repeatedly tried to lessen the Ultramarines recent depiction as [[GodModeSue God Mode Sues]] [[SpotlightStealingSquad who everyone wants to be]] in his novels. The latter has made repeated efforts to Retcon [=McNeill=]'s novels out of existance.
* {{Arcadia}}

* BadassCreed: One finally appears for them in the film. [[ColonelBadass Captain Severus]]: ''"You must be steel! You must be doom! We march to face down Chaos, and banish it! WE MARCH FOR MACRAGGE!"'' [[TheSquad Others]]: ''"And we shall know no fear!"''
** There is also their other motto, "Courage and honor."
* BaitAndSwitchGunshot
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Subverted in ''Dead Sky Black Sun'' with the Unfleshed. They appear evil and purely animalistic at first, but later are shown to be just as Emperor worshiping as the Space Marines.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: The Omphalos Daemonium is a Chaos...creature, but apparently it doesn't always operate on pure self-interest.
* BigBookOfWar: The ''Codex Astartes'', which Roboute Guilliman wrote after the HorusHeresy suggesting organization and tactics for virtually any scenario that Guilliman could have thought of at the time. However, by the 41st millennium there are new threats which Guilliman never foresaw. One of the underlying themes of [=McNeill=]'s series is the Ultramarines learning when and when not to follow it.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: It's heavily implied that the force which rescue the Ultramarines and the Raven Guard in the Tomb of Ventanus were the Legion of the Damned.]]
* BittersweetEnding: All six books:
** ''Nightbringer'': [[spoiler: The Nightbringer is freed, and Ario Barzano is killed, but the Ultramarines save the planet and Mykola Shonai is allowed to serve out her term.]]
** ''Warriors of Ultramar'': [[spoiler: Much of Tarsis Ultra is now covered with Tyranid organisms, 78 Ultramarines were killed in action, and Uriel will have to answer for violating the Codex Astartes, but the planet is saved...until ''Planetfall''.]]
** ''Dead Sky, Black Sun'': [[spoiler: Most of the renegades on Medrengard and the Unfleshed are dead, Uriel and Pasanius have no idea where they're going, but they've managed to complete their Death Oath and take the surviving Unfleshed away from Medrengard.]]
** ''The Killing Ground'': [[spoiler: The Unfleshed were possessed and had to be mercy killed, but the dead of Khartuian gain their rest, those responsible are all dead, the planet is saved from Exterminatus, and Uriel and Pasanius get to go back to Macragge, having been declared pure of the taint of Chaos by the GreyKnights.]]
** ''Courage and Honour'': [[spoiler: Pavonis remains in Imperial hands, Learchus gains new understanding of why Uriel and Pasanius did what they did, and all doubt regarding Uriel's loyalty to the Chapter and the Codex are put to rest, but Pavonis losses all autonomy, and in the years to come, many will wish the Tau had won. Probably more of a DownerEnding than the others.]]
** ''The Chapter's Due'': [[spoiler: Two worlds of Ultramar are devastated, over one third of the Chapter and millions of Imperial citizens have been killed, and there is strong evidence that Honsou escaped, but the Ultramarines survive with enough resources to rebuild the Chapter, the Bloodborn are utterly beaten, and M'kar is gone for good.]]
