The '''Codex: Ultramarines''' was the first rule book dedicated entirely to [[Space Marine]]s, and, although its focus was on the [[Ultramarines]] [[chapter]] it was suitable for use with any ''codex'' Space Marine army. The format of the army in Codex: Ultramarines was later developed into the generic format found in the ensuing ''Codex: Space Marines'', as opposed to the army formats found in either of its contemporaries [[Codex: Angels of Death]] and [[Codex: Space Wolves (2nd Edition)|Codex: Space Wolves]].
==The General Structure==
The book has XXX 97 pages and the cover is printed in color while the majority of the book remains in black and white, although there are usually several pages of colour images of miniatures.
