The Macragge Guard were born of tragedy and forged in the crucible of the Tyranid onslaught that bled Ultramar dry. Conceived in 800.M41 at the behest of the High Lords of Terra and with the stern approval of Marneus Calgar himself, this successor Chapter carries the indelible mark of the First Tyrannic War. Its founding cadre was drawn from the battle scarred survivors of that apocalyptic conflict, warriors who had stood upon the icy ramparts of Macragge when the Great Devourer descended. Their Chapter Master, Orion Huntrix, once a decorated lieutenant of the Ultramarines, was elevated by grim necessity, his iron resolve and unshakable loyalty deemed worthy to shepherd a new brotherhood into the endless dark.
From its inception, the Macragge Guards have been more than a mere reflection of their noble progenitors. The scars of the Tyrannic invasion both seen and unseen shape their every creed and campaign. The Chapter reveres the defense of bastions and the unyielding stand above all else, viewing each fortress world and every garrisoned outpost as another Macragge to be held at any cost. Their veterans, many of whom once battled the xenos monstrosities claw to claw, bring a cold, methodical hatred for the Tyranid hive fleets that no passage of centuries can dull. Within their gene-seed lies the discipline of the Ultramarines, but in their hearts burns a grim fatalism unique to those who have stared into the abyss and survived.
To this day, the highest councils of the Macragge Guard remain populated by warriors who fought amidst the shattered ice fields of their namesake world. Chaplains intone litanies not only to the Emperor but to the honored dead of the First Tyrannic War, their sermons heavy with remembrance and warning. Every campaign the Chapter undertakes is measured against the shadow of Behemoth’s coming, every battle plan sharpened by lessons bought with the blood of their forebears. They are the sentinels of Ultramar's memory, a blade and shield raised in eternal defiance, ensuring that no xenos tide, whether Tyranid or otherwise will ever again find the Realm of Ultramar unprepared.
Chapter History[]
Founding and early Years 800-900 M41
The Macragge Guard born and forged in the crucible of the first Tyrannic, the desperate battles, which laid waste to macragge, those battles forged the Man which would found the chapter. in the after math of the battle of macragge, the Macragge guard would rise, Forged by the tyrannic battle on macragge, the newly formed chapter would cast itself in to fire soon after its founding, with only 4 companies, formed of vaterans of the first tyranic war, the Macragge guard would combat with the remaning forces of hive fleet behemoth, which still harassed the ultramar. the Macragge guard would find and destory multipe small pockets of tyranids spread across the ultramar space. By the end of the 800.M41, the chapter would already have a strong legacy of combat, the forces they faced, Remnants of the Forces which fueled their founding, were burtal
but the sons of Macragge endure.
Search for a new homeplanet
quickly after they formed, Chapter master, Orion Huntrix, began searching for a New homeworld, To be a Symbolic act he chose, Carolius Rex, a planet Stripped of Both its Surface and atmosphere, And Vowed to "Revive" the planet, But this Posed problems for Recruitment, so in 813.M41 he began a program to recruit from the populations fleeing from the world ravaged by tyranids, allowing the Macragge guard to reach full strength by the end of the century, and for the first crews Revival Stations to begin operations.
recovery of the argonaut 917.M41
In early 917.M41 the Nova-class frigate bellator detected Life close in form to tyranids within a asteroid field, from there bellator dispatched 3 fighters to find and report what they saw, once they got close to the target and after they Took A few Pictures, the Mass, revealed to be a space hulk, Opened fire on the scouting squad, One Voidcraft was destroyed during the escape, After the information was sent to chapter master Orion, from there He Gave the space hulk the code name “Argonaut”, and Reached out to the death-wing of the dark-angels, for assistance in clearing the space hulk, due to their knowledge with dealing with space hulks
the assault took place three sol months later after three more scouting missions and a passing bombardment from Macragge guard ships, the assault was carried out by forces of the death wing, and the Macragge Guard’s 10th company, the clearing took three Sol days and Revealed that The argonaut had been taken over by a genestealer cult that originated from the first tyranic war
after the Argonaut was cleared and the darkangels had departed, a team of tech priests boarded the space hulk and where escorted through the argonaut, By the 10th cmpany, they revealed the space hulk was composed of heresy era transports attack by heretical forces
Among the Many relics found aboard, A number permitted to be Claimed by the Macragge, and of that the dark angels took many of them, the remaining relic permitted to be claim the Macragge guard where a leviathan dreadnought, two suits of Cataphractii armor, a multiple power weapons
Pre-second tyranic war 917-992.M41
this time was marked by the construction of the magnus dux, the expansion of the Macragge Guards and the introduction of the Core system, Along with the continued hunting of Tyranid splinter fleets
943.M41 The core system was first proposed by the Nero sepultus (at that time, Captain of the 10th company), To give more purpose allow for more strength to be given to a task, as instead of single company that has to have multiple units to be tactical efficient three companies could be merged giving each company a specific role to play, when asked where the 10th company would fit in to this system he suggested a singe regular sized company that could be deployed to reenforce other cores, chapter master orion Huntrix, despite the system went aganist the codex
Orion Huntrix Approved Sepultus idea.
later it decided that the 10th, Now Known as the Blackgaurd, Should focus on fast and hard hitting attacks, the decison was made at the behest of The chapter master.
sepultus was given the role of Captain-audax to continue leading the 10th company.
in this time the Magnus dux was designed With assistance of the forge world konor along, By Magister Armorum, Octavius Gravian, Shortly after the Core system was introduced in the Macragge guard, designed to be able to launch three companies at once it quickly became the new flag ship of the Macragge guard.
the hunting of tyranid splinter fleets gave few results, with battles few and far between.

| Wardens of Orask |   |
The Macragge Guard and the Wardens of Orask share a bond born of common lineage and hardened by the Imperium’s unending wars. Both Chapters descend from the Ultramarines and uphold the teachings of Guilliman, though each interprets them through the lens of their own bitter experiences - the Macragge Guard through the trauma of the Tyrannic Wars, and the Wardens through their eternal vigil against the horrors of the Ghoul Stars. Their relationship has long been marked by mutual respect; the Macragge Guard honour the Wardens' ceaseless watch upon the Eastern Fringe, while the Wardens regard the Guard as living testaments to Ultramar's resilience in the face of the Great Devourer. On rare occasions when their campaigns have intersected, their cooperation has been seamless, marked by disciplined coordination and a shared determination to hold the line at all costs. Yet, beneath this fraternity lies a quiet divergence. The Wardens of Orask are a fleet-based crusading brotherhood, their ethos rooted in striking swiftly and decisively across the void, while the Macragge Guard are bastion-keepers, inheritors of Macragge’s defensive dogma, and masters of the unyielding stand. Where the Wardens thrive in mobility and adaptation, the Macragge Guard embody patience, endurance, and sacrifice. Though their doctrines differ, their shared heritage ensures no animosity; rather, their contrast is seen as complementary, each Chapter reinforcing the other's strengths. Together, they represent two facets of Ultramar's legacy: the relentless sentinel and the tireless crusader, both standing as bulwarks of the Imperium against a galaxy that would see it torn asunder. |
| Imperius Ravagers |   |
The relationship between the Macragge Guard and the Imperius Ravagers is one of uneasy kinship, tempered by their shared heritage yet divided by starkly different temperaments. Both Chapters trace their bloodline to Roboute Guilliman and the Ultramarines, but where the Macragge Guard embody the patient, unyielding discipline of Macragge's defence, the Imperius Ravagers carry the feral brutality of the Calth Underworld War in their marrow. To the Macragge's Guard, the Imperius Ravagers are brothers-in-arms, but also a reminder of the Ultramarines' most wrathful legacy - warriors whose hatred has never cooled, even after millennia. When circumstances have brought them together in campaigns, the Macragge Guard's measured, defensive strategies have often clashed with the Ravagers' headlong fury, leading to tactical friction even amid shared victory. Despite these differences, a bond of mutual respect underlies their interactions, born from the simple truth that both Chapters endure because they refuse to yield in the face of annihilation. The Macragge Guard recognise in the Ravagers a savage strength that can shatter even the most determined foes, while the Imperius Ravagers see in the Macragge Guard a stoic fortitude reminiscent of the indomitable defense of Macragge. Together, they represent two extremes of Guilliman's legacy - unyielding bastion and merciless executioner - each mistrustful of the other's methods, yet unwilling to deny the results. When the Imperium’s need is dire, the Imperius Ravagers' fury and the Macragge Guard's iron discipline can, for a time, be wielded as one weapon: a reminder that even among Guilliman's sons, survival takes many forms. |
Enemies[]
| Name | Iconography | Notes |

| Tyranids |   |
Most of the chapter high command, and many of the Vanguard and blackguard core’s, have fought and seen tyranids up close, along with seeing the destruction that followed, leaving a general hatred for the tyranids among the chapter, with many viewing them as the main rival of the Macragge guard. |
