The 10 Most Powerful Loyalist Space Marines Chapter (Warhammer40K)

[@admortifex4102]

Excellent work !! I really appreciate your capacity for deduction and analysis. You know how to remain objective and you put forward interesting points without favoring a particular chapter. Ignores Dark Angels' fanboys and Imperial Fists' fanboys (mostly Black Templars). Their justifications are mainly based on an ego or on sentences taken out of context. No need to be a fan of the Ultramarines to see the power of Ultramar and the many powerfuls heroes of the Chapter like Tigurius, Sicarius etc... Plus, their versatility and stable genes make them a safe bet. Same for the Blood Angels, wardens of the Imperium Nihilus, along with the great Nihilus Fleet, the Sanguinor, Regent Dante and Mephiston. It is known that the genes of the Blood Angels make them extremely gifted at the psychic level and give them a longevity superior to others. Not to mention the Red Thirst and Black Rage that make them warriors with much greater strength than a normal astartes. Great vid !

I think the obsession of the Dark Angels for hunting the fallen is at end end. For Lion El Jonson either forgive his fallen sons (who are now called the Risen) or will regard this hunt as stupidly too high on the list of priorities.

[@colonelturmeric558]

From what i can gather, the fallen will still be hunted in some capacity. Some are irredeemable, and must be purged. Otherwise Asmodai would have no purpose or place in the story, as he is very one-dimensional.

@@colonelturmeric558 In the new Asomodai figurines description, it says that Asomodai has put his skills to the service of the Lion, bringing Fallens to his judgement. Either the Lion forgives them or well... purge time. Would be funny tho seeing Asomodai and Zabriel the Risen working together, kinda like good and bad cop duo. Zabriel being the hope option, bringing news of the Lion's offer of redemption, while Asmodai being the punishment for refusal.

People have to be pulling random numbers out of their heads for chapter strength. I saw one guy say 10 thousand and another guy closer to 100,000. There’s only about 1 million space marines in the universe at any given time and for 1 chapter to have 1/10 of the space marines is kinda ludicrous. It seems nobody know exactly how many space marines are in any of the chapters. Supposed to be around 1000 chapter with 1000 marines in each chapter equaling 1 million marines.

​@@chiefwillyj8566 it says in the codex over that it's over 5000, so it's probably around that number.

[@sergeantsharkseant]

@@chiefwillyj8566 incorrect on the million number it is an estimation as there is said to be 1000 chapters with 1000 marines which is incorrect though Chapters are allowed to exceed the 1000k during a crusade (which the Black Templars abuse massively) and many chapters are under strength or no wiped out. So in theory yes but actually no on the 1 million Black Templars sue to their outposts on every conquered planet dispersed crusading fleets etc are hard to estimate. The higher estimates say something like 1000 companies (a company being 100 marines) which results in 100k marines. In reality nobody knows the correct amount of black Templars but they are definetly close to legion size if not legion sized. They can’t act as a single legion though as most marines are always crusading somewhere. This would put them below the dark angels and ultramarines which while not being as numerous in their single chapter can easily call upon their successor chapters creating effectively legion strength but usable and they have their primarchs and the ultramarines even a whole realm

Gotta give a shout out to the Vorpal Swords. Not a whole lot of lore on them, but when they were sent into the Eye of Terror on the Abyssal Crusade with 29 other legions suspected of chaos taint, the Swords were one of the few legions to survive their 800-YEAR crusade in the Eye, and even purged over 400 worlds in the process.

[@triples2745]

That’s the real tipping point as the following are usually chapter complaint with limited succession. 6 dark angles including the forgiven I truely believe that with the return of the lion that the DA will reclaim their title of first. Famed for adaptation, skill, and power. 7 iron hands understated is the lore on the home system of the iron hands. Masters of production. Less than a thousand active marines with less successors. The iron hands are the only chapter capable of supplying a legions worth of arms and equipment. Not even Ultramar can boast that. 8 raven gaurd many hive world in systems guarded by them with a respectable number of succors. 9 white scars have only a few succors. Coupled with one of the most intense induction processes leads to a low ability to replace losses. Although more elite than most other marine chapters, less than 1k of these guys is not good. 10 salamanders. Very limited chapter in terms of support. Less than 1k active marines. hyper elite gear. One plant recruitment. Each salamander lost is an irreplaceable relic of humanity slain. You simply cannot sustain a chapter of heros in full mobilization. The heros are the first to die.

[@danielmontgomery613]

Grey knights have always maintained over 1k knights at Titan. They have been routinely spotted all around the galaxy @ company strength (100marines). That’s not possible with out several chapters.

Your top 3 are great but with the return of the Lion I'd say the Dark Angels might swap spots with the Blood Angels. It's hard to pick between them as the Dark Angels have the Rock, a crazy armory, and their Primarch. The Blood Angels have Dante who's probably one of the most powerful non Primarchs and is now leader of half of the Imperium, one of the most powerful Psykers, and the Death Company. We have to agree with the Ultramarines because they have their Primarch who is the leader of the Imperium, one of the most powerful Psykers, one of the top marines in Calgar, controls who gets Primaris, and more.

One primarch does not change them enough to tip a civil war in their favor with ultra. blood angels will hunt them as well. one thing imperium hates more then xeno is traitors...look at badab war.

[@TheAPOLOGIST-wh1rm]

Do you think war is all about aggressiveness and weapons. War revolve solely around supply chain, tactical prowess and always going after the bigger picture. True the Dark angels would be more effective in battles but when it comes to war smurfs are unmatched.

@@TheAPOLOGIST-wh1rm uh yeah captain Obvious , Most of us know that the pillar in war is tactics but for tactics troops are needed and the more troops (And I mean troops, not canon fodder) it will be better and there may be more strategies

[@TheAPOLOGIST-wh1rm]

@@killermacho444 A civil war within the dark angels took out their primarch for 10000 years, destroyed their home planet of caliban, and made a joke of what was supposed to be the most competent chapter in battle. I wonder why The Lion is still fabled as the primarch with the most tactical prowess in battle when he couldn't put out an insurrection within his own chapter, even after contributing very little to the imperium of man during the heresy (infact the only significant thing he did during the heresy was heresy itself-the imperium secondus). Gulliman is the best state man primarch, he might not be much of a fighter but then he Is a conqueror. The only primarch I think would stop Gulliman is Jagathai Khan and even that is could go either way.

Nutburg. Dark Angels should be first as there the vaults that have all sorts of wacky tech. Volkite, Tanks that no other legion has. Men of Iron (yes they have forbidden tech). And god knows what else as they had all the stuff that other legions could not. Why we see Jet bike, Full terminator first company, Plasma talons, there Nephlim and other tech. Never mind the rock and and the huge fleet. Plus the fact we getting the Risen joining the ranks as well as lion. Even Dante bowed to the lion. The blood angels second as they with the dark angels now and they have the lion to command them in the north.

"Even Dante bowed to the lion" Even Guilliman bowed to Logan Grimnar.

I did not think it was not a question Its been stated in books they space wolves did not make chapters and stayed 5000 strong and so have been the strongest space marine chapter from end of 30k to current setting. Having Lots of second founding does not make your chapter stronger that was guillimans whole point in making them split as they grow to not get too much power.

[@leatfingies4290]

The Dark Angels are also Legion strength with similar numbers in successors to the Ultramarines, except for the fact that their successors are under the command of the Dark Angels essentially making them a chapter.

[@Fenrisaiyan]

@@leatfingies4290 Chapter means 1000 men space wolves stayed legion size 5000 men. Having subchapters means you divided your strength witch is why guillman done it. Almost every legion has a call back the sub chapters protocol. So DA are no more a legion than any other codex chapter. Another dark angel player saying no I better, apart from old guns you do not have anything raven guard or imperial fist dont have. They are basic.

Number 1 should be The imperial fist since we Son's of Dorn are the Emperor's Greatest champion and our successor chapters are both love and respected throughout all of the Imperium.

[@TheSickjits]

🤣🤣🤣 Perturabo pushed y'alls shit in. Perty was so convinced yall sucked so hard that he literally made a giant trap and y'all fell for it. He knew the Iron Warriors could solo the Fists. But Perty and Horus knew that if the Dark Angels or Ultramarines took part it would be over. Y'all aren't even close to #1 and quite frankly I'm very surprised to see how high they are on the list.

[@ralkrey9526]

Templars are way better than Imperial fist, Dorn's an Idiot for even thinking of disowning Sigismund.

[@alexandrosmakris5617]

Iron Hands and Salamanders have no place in this list, they have nothing going for them after the Horus Heresy, and are relatively small chapters. Should be replaced imo with some of the "special" chapters, like the Minotaurs and Space Sharks, which have a crazy track record in astartes vs astartes combat during the badab war.

I love how at every top legion video no one puts dark angels at 1st spot. Dark angels are the one and only true exterminators of the Emperor. What weapons dreadwing has is something that you don't want to see. Who fought against Rangdan, who destroyed the krave ? who knew about the warp from the start ? Who had excelsior ?
