Warhammer 40,000/WMG: Difference between revisions
→The Codex Astartes is a load of crock and not a single chapter follows it

Line 883:
* The Ultramarines ignore the 1000-man suggested limit, but in order to assuage their Lawful Stupidity, they do it by simply pooping out successor chapters. The Ultramarines may only number 1000 battle brothers, but the "Ultramarines" number in the hundreds of thousands.
* The Black Templars use a similar system, with limited to 1000 Marines per "crusade". And by my calculations there are about five times as many Astartes post-Codex as there were pre-Heresy (1000 Chapters of 1000 marines each= 1,000,000 now, 20 Legions, average 10,000 = 200,000 then)
** If they were full. Chapters suffer losses, sometimes great. Only from Imperial Fists successors Celestial Lions and Fists Exemplar were reduced to <100, and Invaders were reduced to a ''dozen''. Then it takes time to train the replacement. Those on "penitent crusades" are guaranteed to have major attrition.
