Deathwatch Veteran (Raptors chapter)


Veteran equipped with Stalker pattern boltgun.


The Raptors are a Successor Chapter of the Raven Guard, created in the Second Founding.


The Chapter as a whole expresses a great skill at marksmanship, even by Astartes standards. It is uncertain if this is innate in the gene-seed or a result of superb training.


The Raptors are quite deliberately vague in any discussions of their homeworld, a world named Numina, Ra or Badwater somewhere in the Sutter Spiral Nebula of the Segmentum Solar.

Deathwatch Watch Sergeant (Ultramarines chapter)


Watch Sergeant with Inferno pistol and power sword.


"Courage and Honour!"


The Ultramarines were originally the XIIIth Space Marine Legion before the reforms that initiated the Second Founding and reshape the Imperium after the Horus Heresy on the orders of their Primarch, Roboute Guilliman himself.


Macragge is the homeworld of the Ultramarines Chapter of the Space Marines, and the capital world of the stellar realm of Ultramar. In this, it is unique among all the worlds of the Imperium, in that, apart from Terra and Mars themselves, it is the only planet allowed dominion over other planets - in its case, the eight other worlds of Ultramar.


At the time of the Great Crusade, it was customary for Ultramarines marked out for censure to bear red markings on their helmets. During the Battle of Calth, Guilliman ordered that red markings would be badges of honour, instead of censure.
Immediately after the Battle of Calth, it became customary for Sergeants of the Ultramarines, to paint their helmets red to signify their rank.
