The Ultramarines are the epitome of a Space Marine Chapter. Warriors without peer, their name is a byword for discipline and honour, and their heroic deeds are legendary. The Great Devourer is descending on the world of Tarsis Ultra, a world under the protection of the Ultramarines. Captain Uriel Ventris and his warriors - allied with their barbaric cousins from the Mortifactors Chapter - rally the forces of the planet to defend against the tyranids. But to defeat the xenos horrors, Uriel may have to turn his back on the Ultramarines' teachings and embark upon a dangerous and unorthodox mission.

Ultramarines: Nightbringer review

Uriel Ventris has ptsd now, but he still loves his holy Codex Astartes.

Warriors of Ultramar is a pretty standard novel. It doesn't really stand out in any particular fields, the plot details are somewhat interesting and the action is done well enough, but everything else is mediocre to poor.

The character Snowdog and his crew of other bizarre named characters aren't especially interesting and take up a decent enough chunk of the book. Not much can be said about any of the guardsmen, other than that they are guardsmen. As stated previously, Urial loves his Codex Astartes, and those Mortifactors sure don't love it as much.

Overall, the book isn't offensively bad, its just a fine novel, which may be enough for anyone who particularly liked Nightbringer.
