Thanks for the info as i didn't know about the Night watch.

Still with the space wolves currently under siege not just by Chaos forces but also by a coalition of loyalist space marine chapters that size may change

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 own 11 companies unlike the other 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.
