Ultramarines - Chapter Relics: The Ultramarines can draw upon not only their own Chapter forges, but also those of their vassal worlds within Ultramar for the creation of weapons and artefacts of great power. It is a mark of great honour to bear these mighty relics into battle, and no Ultramarine would take such a responsibility lightly, instead striving to be a paragon of the Adeptus Astartes.Banner of Macragge - The Banner of Macragge is the ancient battle standard of the Ultramarines Chapter and it is considered to be one of their most revered Chapter relics. It was touched by the Emperor's own hand at the beginning of the Great Crusade, and again nearly four solar decades later, when He presented it to the primarch Roboute Guilliman, after he was newly reunited with his gene-father and given command of the XIII Legion in 834.M30. The Ultramarines have preserved the banner for ten standard millennia through fire and war and decimation, each generation passing it on to the next as a burning torch of their love for the immortal Emperor who made them. It has languished in dull stasis chambers and flown beneath the suns of a thousand alien worlds. It has flown on Macragge itself, whenever the whole Chapter is gathered together, and it has been carried forth whenever the Ultramarines have fought as one against the direst of foes. It is said to be made of a strange material known only to the ancients; light as silk but strong as steel; flame cannot burn it and where it is rent asunder it re-spins itself as perfect as the day it was first made. It is marked with the names of all seventy Chapter Masters of the Ultramarines, beginning with Roboute Guilliman and ending with young Marneus Calgar. The Banner carries an honorific for each Victorix Maxima (High Gothic for "great victory") of the Chapter which has been declared at the Imperial Palace on sacred Terra.Cingulum - The Cingulum is a belt formed from several studded straps of leather or a similarly strong and flexible material, which serves as a place for the hanging of victorex and other accolades of valour. Such belts are common decorations amongst the Ultramarines and their Successor Chapters. The appearance of a cingulum also varies with the type of small, detailed plates that have been used to stud it and the choices of what terminal decorations hang upon it.1st Company Relic - When the Ultramarines lost their 1st Company during the defence of Macragge against Hive Fleet Behemoth, it was a terrible blow to the Chapter and it took them many standard years to fully recover. Deathwatch Watch Captain Prascus of the Jericho Reach is known for carrying around a small, rent piece of armour from their last stand. He claims that the memory of those battle-brothers' sacrifice emboldens him in combat. Inspired by Prascus' devotion, many Ultramarines and their successors serving the Long Vigil in the Jericho Reach have begun carrying such tokens. Such relics steel the battle-brother's will against the influence of the Tyranids, as they remember the price paid by their brothers and struggle harder to resist.Gauntlets of Ultramar - Amongst the oldest and most revered of all the Ultramarines' artefacts, the Gauntlets of Ultramar are a pair of unique Power Fists with integrated bolters. Legends say that the Gauntlets were taken by Primarch Roboute Guilliman himself, after defeating a mighty Chaos Champion in hand-to-hand combat during the Gamalia Reclusium Massacre of the Great Crusade. These weapons come from a source unknown and no Adeptus Mechanicus magos has ever succeeded in penetrating their armoured shell to examine the mechanism within. The Gauntlets are only worn by the Master of the Ultramarines himself, the Lord Macragge, and at other times reside within a crystal case in the Fortress of Hera, inside the Temple of Correction's Shrine of the Primarch.Gilded Boltgun - Among the oldest and most stable of all the Chapters, the vaults of the Ultramarines are well stocked with some of the finest examples of Imperial weaponry known to exist. One example is the Gilded Boltgun, a master-crafted artificer weapon of unsurpassed beauty and artistry; a weapon fit for a sector lord, or a Space Marine captain. No record remains of how this weapon made its way to the Jericho Reach, but it has been used by some of the most heralded Ultramarines to serve in the Reach with the Deathwatch.Helm of Varthion - Sergeant Varthion is a legend at the Deathwatch's Watch Fortress Erioch in the Jericho Reach. Long before Warmaster Achilus ever dreamed of conquest through the Jericho Reach's Warp Gate, the Deathwatch kept vigil over this ancient artefact. In the fourth century of the 41st Millennium, Varthion and his squad destroyed a xenos warhost hundreds of times their number in defence of the Gate. Records conflict as to which side of the Warp Gate originated the enemy assault, but accounts of the aftermath in the control structure are identical. They describe alien corpses of an aspect uncatalogued before or since, "in such volumes that Varthion's squad stood atop them like Titans astride a demolished hive." The Ultramarine sergeant's ancient helm contains the pinnacle of augur sensors and prophesier readouts. A dedicated cogitator bank also provides tactical recommendations based on thousands of standard years of compiled Ultramarines combat theory.Heraldry Scrolls - Scrolls worked into a battle-brother's armour, either as metalwork or a placard, are popular in many Chapters, and the Ultramarines are no exception. This crest may display a motto or title, but most commonly it bears the Ultramarine's name so that his enemies know who brings their deaths, and tales of his deeds may travel.Honour Blades - Presented to champions of the Chapter, Honour Blades are a matching broadsword and poniard Power Sword set. Wielded together, the blades are perfectly matched and provide the champion with an expert defence and attack.Hood of Hellfire - The Hood of Hellfire is a specially modified Psychic Hood that not only provides protection against the psychic assault of other psykers, but allows Chief Librarian Tigurius to conserve his body's energy, enabling him to make use of his powerful offensive psychic abilities more often than is normal for even the most powerful of Human psykers.Infernus - High Chaplain Ortan Cassius bears the master-crafted combi-flamer called Infernus. This weapon was crafted and modified by Cassius himself. The bolter portion of Infernus is loaded with Hellfire rounds instead of standard bolt ammunition.Jaw of Bloodcharn - The Jaw of Bloodcharn was the chainsword wielded by Tactical Squad Sergeant Kuriel during the war for a vital Agri-world in the Ango Sub-sector. Sudden attacks by dark-armoured Chaos Space Marines brought death to Kuriel's captain and the sergeant stepped into his place to take command of the Ultramarines strike force. As the conflict escalated, Kuriel coordinated his efforts with allies from the Red Wolves and Sons of Orar Chapters, showing outstanding leadership ability. He was subsequently elevated to the 1st Company and his promotion to the rank of captain was only prevented when he volunteered to join the Deathwatch. His weapon is the mark of a great commander and is often given to an up-and-coming Ultramarine slated for eventual officer status.Legatine Axes - Created to the specifications of Roboute Guilliman himself after a comprehensive study of thousands of individual power weapon designs from across the many worlds of Humanity, the Legatine Axes' design is that of a precise and perfectly balanced instrument of war. Requiring great skill to master, the weapons are swifter to wield than most power axes, but lack the brute destructive force of many of their kind, relying instead on the skillful placement of blows to inflict maximum harm. These finely-wrought, master-crafted power weapons were often presented to the elite warriors of the Suzerain Invictarus.Mantle of Suzerain - This special suit of Artificer Armour worn by Captain Cato Sicarius provides a level of protection that rivals that of a suit of Terminator Armour. The left pauldron of this armour belongs to the original suit of Mark II Crusade Power Armour worn by Captain Orar of the 2nd Company, a great hero of the Ultramarines Legion during the Great Scouring of the Traitor Legions from Imperial space after the end of the Horus Heresy. It bears the 2nd Company's heraldic colours which Sicarius has also adopted as his own personal heraldry and also incorporates an Iron Halo and a golden Aquila that designates his position as the Grand Duke of Talassar, his homeworld in the Realm of Ultramar.Mantles of Ultramar - These suits of Artificer Armour, believed to number only seven, are said to owe their origins to a pre-Age of Strife derelict Human warship found floating on the borders of the Seyrn Reach area at the very edge of the eastern galactic fringe. The voidship and all it contained were claimed as prizes by Chapter Master Theokista Weir at the outset of his disastrous counter-invasion of the Khrave-haunted Seyrn Reach, a campaign which would ultimately cost his own life and the lives of close to 4,000 of his fellow Ultramarines. These ancient suits of void battle plate, hybridised for use by the Legiones Astartes, have since shielded the lives of many of the Legion's greatest warriors. Ten standard millennia ago, they were awarded only by the hand of the primarch, but now they are awarded by the current Ultramarine Chapter Master. They have come to symbolize sacrifice, unfailing service and the adherence of duty unto death to the Ultramarines.Rod of Tigurius - Chief Librarian Tigurius wields the Rod of Tigurius, an extremely potent master-crafted Force Weapon that draws on Tigurius' own psychic energy and focuses it into a tight beam of unstoppable power.Talassarian Tempest Blade - Wielded by Captain Cato Sicarius in close combat, this Power Sword's energy field is so strong that in certain instances it can slay a foe with a single strike.Urion's Doom - Urion was an honoured member of the Ultramarines 1st Company at the time of the invasion of Ultramar by Hive Fleet Behemoth. He was stationed at the northern polar fortress during the Battle of Macragge. He fought on the outer wall until it was overrun, his Storm Bolter reaping a heavy toll amongst the Tyranid horde. He defended the silo doors of the fortress until they were breached, mowing down countless more swarming xenos bioforms. He battled in the catacombs as the surviving defenders fell back deeper and deeper. He fired burst after burst, each one finding its mark, until at last his ammunition was spent, when he charged into hand-to-hand combat and was finally overcome. His recovered Storm Bolter, Urion's Doom, is now a relic of the Chapter given to a member of the 1st Company who has particularly distinguished himself in combat with the Tyranids. As such, it is usually granted to one of the Chapter's Tyrannic War Veterans.Vengeance Launcher - Wielded by former captain, now Lieutenant Demetrian Titus, this unique weapon fires explosive mines that generate a localised gravitic field, able to stick to foes before exploding. The Vengeance Launcher is a prototype weapon constructed on Forge World Graia, not yet sanctioned by the Adeptus Mechanicus for use off-world.Hammer of Macragge - A potent and revered relic of the Ultramarines Chapter, the Hammer of Macragge is a millennia-old Thunder Hammer that has long remained aboard the Reclusiam of the battle barge of the Ultramarines 2nd Company in a shrine of honour. The Hammer of Macragge has been wielded against foes of the Imperium of Man for many millennia, and it contains powerful ancient technology that is little understood in the 41st Millennium. The 2nd Company's Ultima Squad swore their battle pledges on the Hammer shortly before their deployment to the Shrine World of Mithron which had come under assault from the forces of Chaos, including the Chaos Space Marines of the Black Legion. Later, Battle-Brother Proteus confronted a Daemon inside the Reclusiam of the 2nd Company's battle barge and tore the Hammer from its reliquary, using it to banish the Daemon back to the Warp, before it could use the Imperial Fists artefact recovered from Mithron, the Liber Mithrus, to open a Warp portal on Macragge itself.Soldier's Blade - This deceptively simple sword has been a treasure of the Ultramarines since the XIII Legion's founding. Though it contains none of the matter-disrupting energy field technology of a Power Sword, it can still carve through the thickest plates of ceramite and plasteel with ease. So perfectly forged is this monomolecular-edged blade that is has survived for many Terran millennia without ever needing to be sharpened.Sanctic Halo - The defensive energy field projector built into this elaborately filigreed Iron Halo not only deflects bullets and repels blade thrusts -- it also amplifies the bearer's will through unknown means, allowing them to withstand devastating psychic attacks in the thick of battle.Standard of Macragge Inviolate - When the First Tyrannic War came to the Realm of Ultramar and Hive Fleet Behemoth descended upon Macragge, it was this glorious banner that flew above the swarms of xenos beasts. To all Ultramarines, it represents the unfaltering might of their homeworld and their Chapter. When an Ultramarine beholds this sacred standard, he is gripped with a sense of unshakeable pride and determination, for he knows that no enemy can match the skills in battle passed down to him and his brothers by their primarch.Armour of Konor - Gifted to the Ultramarines envoy to the Ultramarian Forge World of Konor, this ornate and unique suit of Indomitus Pattern Terminator Armour is constructed from thousands of microscopic layers of durable materials, applied painstakingly one by one. As a result, these plates retain their structure and protective qualities against even the most destructive strikes.Helm of Censure - Data-logged within this ancient red helm are the complete didactic works of Sergeant Thiel, those that led to his great censure. The results of his pre-Heresy studies, which themselves were considered treasonous, outlined the optimal methods by which an Astartes could kill any opponent, including a fellow battle-brother. Ten thousand Terran years later, his works are still without equal -- and no longer of simply theoretical use for the sons of Guilliman.Vengeance of Ultramar - Last used during the Tyrannic Wars, this ancient Storm Bolter houses a ferocious Machine Spirit capable of a dramatically increased rate of fire. Furthermore, though the Vengeance of Ultramar fires standard-issue bolts, a compact micro-forge within the weapon's firing chamber anoints each projectile with a bio-reactive coating that burns away flesh and chitin like parchment in a raging fire.Tarentian Cloak - Discovered on the Agri-world of Tarentus, this shroud bears all the hallmarks of a relic of the Dark Age of Technology. The auto-sanctified medicae support systems and thrice-blessed bio-rejuvenators threaded throughout this cloak made it an invaluable artefact for the Ultramarines when battling Daemons in the planet's desert wastes. Those who wear it discover their wounds heal with surprising rapidity and less scarring.
