In the two hundred and fifty years since the arrival of Hive Fleet Behemoth, Ultramar has been the bastion of the eastern fringe. Time and time again the Ultramarines have sallied forth to face the Tyranids, sparing others the terror and death that accompanies them, but the price has been a steep one. During the Battle for Macragge, the Ultramarines 1st Company was utterly wiped out in a heroic last stand beneath the northern polar fortress.
The Ultramarines would never allow losses, however grievous, to deflect them from their duty and they immediately began to rebuild the 1st Company. With the successive assaults of the Tyranid hive fleets, the Ultramarines saw regular battle and the experiences that made veterans of their warriors inevitably came from fighting the Tyranids. Under the personal direction of Chaplain Cassius, a new corps d'elite began to emerge.
Tyranid Hunters may be included in your Ultramarines army as an Elite choice. A squad consists of between four and nine Tyranid Hunters.
