Take a look at GW UK's homepage. Ultramarine city! They've given up on general promotion and instead are pushing Space Marines like no tomorrow. At least they are making no bones about the fact that you should "Just buy your Space Marines and shut up"!

And dammit, those Space Marines had better be blue. Otherwise you suck!

or perhaps it is due to the upcoming release of the Ultramarines movie? :)

Vaaish is like 100% correct.

And besides, Ultramarines are cool.

I suspect you could play a drinking game involving cries of "For the Emperor!!!!" or similar...

I pre-ordered the collectors edition:

https://shop.ultramarinesthemovie.com/s ... n-dvd.html

It might even be worth something in the future. That Inquisitor movie is like hens-teeth, and the German fan-flick never got released....

EDIT: Holy cow... its a 15.... This might actually be an OK story.... I was sure any GW film would be a PG to appeal to their core audience.

I believe any theatre release, even a limited one, would involve other parties taking a bite out of the GW Pie O' Profits. As GW seems rather mindful of their pie, straight to DVD is probably the way to go.
