The Novamarines are, with one apparent exception in regards to their Librarians, hardline followers of the [[Codex Astartes]], the great organisational work of the [[Ultramarines]] [[Primarch]] [[Roboute Guilliman]].{{Fn|5}} This reverence for the Codex goes beyond mere respect. Although in line with most [[Chapter Cult]]s in that they do not see the [[Emperor]] nor or Roboute [[Chapter#Theist_Chapters|as gods]]a god, they see the Codex Astartes as [[Chapter#Theist Chapters|divinely-inspired]], rather than just a treatise of war, though they make no comment on what deity inspired it.{{Fn|9b}} Their adherence to most aspects of the Codex is so strong that they have drawn the blood of those who would scorn it, as well as being noted as exemplars of Guilliman's writ by other [[Imperial]] authorities. This hardline attitude extends to other facets of Imperial thought, with the Novamarines being notable proponents of the [[monodominant]] philosophy; deviation from Imperial norms is considered anathema, with a particular disgust saved for [[xenos]] life-forms.{{Fn|5}}
