The Legend

Marneus Calgar’s career spans centuries of warfare across the galaxy. He has faced every manner of threat the 41st Millennium can produce – xenos invasions, Chaos incursions, heretical uprisings, and Tyranid hive fleets – and emerged victorious time and again. His strategic acumen is legendary; when Calgar commits forces to battle, he does so with absolute confidence born from comprehensive analysis and flawless execution.

What truly distinguishes Calgar is not merely his tactical brilliance but his ability to inspire those who serve under him. Warriors fighting alongside the Chapter Master find themselves pushing beyond their normal limits, performing feats of heroism they never thought possible. This combination of strategic genius and inspirational leadership makes Calgar more than just a powerful combatant – he is a force multiplier who transforms good armies into unstoppable war machines.

His ascension to Chapter Master was inevitable. Through demonstrated excellence in every battlefield role, Calgar proved himself worthy of leading the Ultramarines, the exemplar Chapter that embodies everything noble about the Adeptus Astartes. Under his command, the XIII Legion has achieved victories that will be celebrated for millennia, cementing his place among the greatest heroes in Imperial history.

The Armour of Antilochus

The armor Calgar wears is itself legendary within Ultramarines history. The Armour of Antilochus is ancient Terminator plate that has protected Chapter Masters for thousands of years, accumulating its own storied history across countless campaigns. This is no ordinary Terminator armor – it represents the finest craftsmanship the Imperium can produce, maintained and consecrated by the Chapter’s most skilled artificers and revered by the Techmarines who consider its care a sacred duty.

The armor’s ornate design reflects both its age and importance. Every surface bears honor markings commemorating victories won by its previous wearers. These decorations transform the armor from mere protection into a walking chronicle of Ultramarines glory. When Calgar strides into battle wearing this ancient plate, he carries with him the weight of history and the expectation that he will add his own glorious chapters to its legacy.

Beyond aesthetics, the Armour of Antilochus provides exceptional protection that allows Calgar to wade into the thickest fighting without fear. Enemy weapons that would obliterate normal warriors barely scratch this venerable armor. This durability enables Calgar’s aggressive tactical approach – he can position himself wherever the fighting is fiercest, leading from the front rather than directing from safety.

The Gauntlets of Ultramar

Calgar’s primary weapons are the legendary Gauntlets of Ultramar, perhaps the most famous weapons wielded by any Space Marine Chapter Master. These twin power fists represent the pinnacle of the Imperium’s weapons technology, combining crushing melee power with integrated bolt weapons that allow Calgar to engage enemies at any range.

In close combat, the Gauntlets function as devastating power fists capable of pulverizing the toughest opponents. Enemy armor that would turn aside normal weapons crumples like parchment when struck by these ancient relics. Monstrous creatures that terrify normal warriors find themselves broken and bleeding when Calgar closes to melee range. Enemy champions who might dominate other combats are simply obliterated. The Gauntlets make light work of even the very toughest foes, transforming Calgar into a walking engine of destruction.

The integrated bolt weapons ensure Calgar remains dangerous even before closing to melee. These weapons can shred infantry squads and weaken tough targets before Calgar finishes them with his power fists. This dual-mode capability provides tactical flexibility – Calgar can soften formations with ranged fire, engage opportune targets as they present themselves, or lay down suppressive fire while maneuvering into optimal positions. Few weapons in the Imperium offer such complete battlefield effectiveness.

The Miniature

This stunning plastic kit captures Marneus Calgar in all his glory. The miniature cuts an imposing figure, immediately recognizable as a warrior of legendary status. Every element of the sculpt reinforces his identity as Chapter Master – from the ornate Terminator armor to the flowing cape that billows behind him as he advances into battle.

The level of detail is extraordinary. The Armour of Antilochus features intricate honor markings across every surface, each one representing specific victories and commendations. These aren’t generic decorations but carefully sculpted elements that reward close examination and careful painting. The armor plates themselves show the craftsmanship befitting ancient Terminator plate, with elegant proportions and mechanical details that demonstrate the armor’s sophistication.

The Gauntlets of Ultramar are sculpted with particular attention to their legendary status. These aren’t simple power fists but elaborate constructions that clearly show their integrated bolt weapons and ancient pedigree. The pose shows Calgar advancing purposefully, weapons ready, projecting both confidence and threat. This is a warrior who knows he’s about to win and wants his enemies to understand their doom approaches.

The flowing cape adds dynamic movement to the miniature while also providing a large canvas for painting and customization. Whether you paint it in traditional Ultramarines colors or add freehand designs commemorating specific campaigns, the cape offers opportunities to make your Calgar truly unique.

The Scenic Base

The included scenic base elevates this miniature from impressive to spectacular. Rather than a simple flat base, Calgar stands on terrain that tells a story – broken ground, battlefield debris, or other elements that place him clearly in the context of active warfare. The 50mm round base provides ample space for these details while also reinforcing Calgar’s physical presence on the tabletop.

The scenic base serves both aesthetic and practical purposes. Visually, it creates a complete miniature diorama that looks stunning from every angle. Practically, it clearly marks Calgar as an important character, ensuring he stands out even on crowded gaming tables filled with other impressive miniatures.

On the Battlefield

In games of Warhammer 40,000, Marneus Calgar serves as both a devastating combat unit and a force-multiplying leader. His personal combat capability allows him to eliminate priority targets, break through defensive lines, and claim contested objectives through overwhelming force. Few units in the game can match his combination of durability, offensive power, and tactical flexibility.

Beyond his individual prowess, Calgar provides significant benefits to nearby units. His leadership abilities inspire other Ultramarines to greater achievements, improving their effectiveness and resilience. His strategic acumen can turn marginal tactical situations into decisive victories. Opponents must constantly account for Calgar’s position and threat range, forcing them to adjust their plans and limiting their options.

The Gauntlets of Ultramar’s dual-mode capability ensures Calgar remains relevant throughout the battle. Early game, he can weaken enemy formations with ranged fire while advancing. Mid-game, he transitions to devastating melee combat, crushing priority targets and creating opportunities for your other units. Late game, his durability and leadership ensure he remains effective when other characters have fallen, potentially seizing victory objectives or eliminating final threats.

The free downloadable rules from Warhammer Community ensure you can field Calgar with current, balanced rules that reflect his legendary status and battlefield capabilities.

Painting and Display

Marneus Calgar represents a pinnacle painting project for Warhammer hobbyists. The intricate details throughout the miniature provide opportunities to demonstrate advanced techniques and create a truly showcase piece. The ornate armor invites careful edge highlighting and detailed work. The honor markings can be painted as elaborate metallic designs or intricate freehand commemorations. The Gauntlets of Ultramar offer chances to practice weapon effects and mechanical details. The cape provides a large surface for blending, freehand work, or other advanced techniques.

Even the base offers painting opportunities, allowing you to create terrain effects that complement your army’s overall aesthetic and tell stories about the campaigns Calgar has fought. Whether you paint Calgar in traditional Ultramarines blue and gold or develop your own interpretation, this miniature rewards every hour you invest.

As a display piece, Calgar commands attention. His imposing size, dynamic pose, and elaborate details make him a natural centerpiece for any Ultramarines collection.

From the Community:

The greatest Ultramarine besides the Primarch himself, Marneus Calgar is equally potent a warrior on the battlefield as he is a leader in the command bunker. While he often deploys in an artificer-crafted suit of Gravis armour, he has also been known to still wear the ancient Armour of Antilochus. This relic Terminator armour suit incorporates the Gauntlets of Ultramar – and Calgar operates it with enough agility that he can join almost any infantry squad the Ultramarines choose to field in battle.
