The Astral Claws at one point during the Badab war absorbed the Tiger claws chapter and it is stated that their numbers grew close to a space marine Legion "an entire additional chapter sized force of battle sized companies was raised"

No numbers were stated but chapter sized=1000 marines Compaines! how many is not stated but we can assume that with the Astral Claws 1000+the Tiger claws at full 1000 thats 2000 marines but with chapter sized companies could be anywhere from 3000-up to 10,000 marines  The tyrant wished to create an Space marine legion of old so that may give us some clue as to how many.. but the numbers are never clearly documented so this is just speculation...

Anyways only 200 Astral Claws trators surived and one Huron Blackheart
