I'm not one of those people, but I think it could be because the Ultramarines thing seems forced.  When you see BTs, DAs, SWs, and BAs players everywhere you kind of get it.  I see more Eldar, Tyranids, Orks, Tau, CSMs, ect than I do Ultras.  Like I said above, maybe it's different where I've been and they're more popular other places around the globe.

 

They were (in an older time) referred to as the snowflake chapters because they got extra special treatment, marine fans love marines. More unique bespoke stuff for the niches sort of works because it's  more marine options overall.

 

Because ultramarines are the generic poster boys and not really considered a unique entity, their releases are sort of a "meh bland marines again I guess" type response.

 

Tl;dr divergent releases go down well because they make people feel special and its not more of "those blue guys who get all the press".

Glorious, peak British satire. 

 

I can see how this might annoy some people, but we are the country that gave the world Yes, Minister; Blackadder and The Thick Of It.

 

More of this please.

It is always curious how it just seems to be 'Ultramarines' that get this salt from a certain portion of the playerbase. Never BT, DA, SW or BAs in such number who get as much, and in some cases more.

 

Seems likes double standards to me most of the time, driven more by memes (from a time quite a few weren't even in the hobby for).

 

There are lots of people who act personally offended whenever one of the original Angels of Death chapters gets something, or Space Wolves, or Black Templars. Usually fans of Salamanders, Raven Guard, or another "not Ultramarines" chapter. I have seen the term "snowflake chapters" used as a pejorative many times.

 

It is like some people think that Space Marine chapters are real people who are personally insulting them by receiving new miniatures.

 

Best just to ignore it, because in the end who really cares if someone else likes or dislikes any given Space Marine chapter?

They should make the first two advent reveals/rules/whatever Ultramarine focused just to get everyone frothing and then switch to other subjects.

One Ultramarines Rules thing.

One Stormcast Eternals Rules thing.

Everyone else gets a painting guide and a pat on the back.

The marketing team are having a good year, I'm almost beginning to feel sorry for them when leaks happen thought they're getting good at recovering from them too.

Honestly if they took the ultima off I would wear the “more Primaris lieutenants now” t-shirt around my local GW just to troll the manager while I don’t buy anything. The merch is real, right? Or is it part of the joke? It’s funnier if it’s real.
