the problem is that you are comparing legion to chapter, whcih is not the case

currently you have Chapter master (1000 astartes command)  > Captain ( 100 astartes)> Sergeant(10)

Crusade era had, depending on legion ut let us use the iron warriors:

Primarch (whoel legion aka tens of thousands) > Warsmith (several thosand) > Captain >sergeant
