Thats like 6 different codex space marine chapters there In theory, yes, the Black Templars are the biggest Space Marine Chapter. The number 6,000 is only estimated, not confirmed.

If you want the biggest confirmed Space Marine Chapter, then that would be the Night Watch, since they iwn 11 companies unlike othe codex-compliant chapters. It is also confirmed that they have more than 1000 marines.

The second place goes to the Space Wolves, yet the numbers of each of their 12 great companies varies. So like the Black Templars, their numbers are also estimated.

And then the list goes on, as most other space marine chapters are codex-comoliant.
