Ultramarines stick most rigidly to the Codex Astartes. Space Wolves have the most homour and pride. Black Templars have more numbers than is "allowed" by the Codex.
I think.

They're all elite in their own way.

just a question what happens if a chapter is running low on marines? Because the Blood Raven are running quite low in the Dawn of War trilogy (the books not the games.) because i think they could became or are a great chapter. The books also mention that the Ultramarines are becoming lax because of their glorius past and that the blood ravens are doing great deeds and know nothing of their past. (I know i am yapping about the blood ravens but i just like them.)

They'd be trying to regain their numbers I think, but it takes so long to do so. It takes atleast 8 years to implant all 19 organs into a potential Astartes, if they survive that is.
It took 250 years for the Ultramarines to rebuild the 1st Company after it's devestation on Macragge against the Tyranids during the Tyranic Wars. So an entire Chapter would take...
*counts his fingers*
A lot longer.

They can't really help them. Same way that a cut can only heal with it's own white blood cells and stuff.
Ultramarines are a very specific chapter, and no other gene seed would do well to intermingle.

Maegnis Ra shouldn't other chapters help them i mean they all serve the emperor How would they help eachother? Each chapter has its own doctrines and beliefs. Their own tactics, hell their own physical makeup. Now to mention very different recruiting methods.
The salamanders have been low on troops ever since the horus heresy, thats just the way things go. Some chapters die out, new ones are produced from mars. As for all serving the emporer, obviously that doesnt stop fights. You have rivalries such as the wolves and dark angels. Then chapters like the Iron Hands who will turn on allies out of their over zealous paranoia.
Good questions though.

The Crimson Fists are a great example of how a chapter on the brink of extermination still manages to survive.

Good questions though.yeah but can't they help each other in combat. I mean stopping a fully fledged ork whaaaagh! is quite hard to stop for a lone chapter. Especialy if their numbers are dwingling.

Of course certain chapters will help eachother. Such as the Salamanders, Blood Angels, Black templars, and Black Dragons in the Armegeddon conflict. There are more chapters than that, but those are the most distinguished, and probably most varying ones. Though of course there are problems as well. Obviously the templars arent going to be working with any Librarian assisted groups, and I cant imagine them working alongside the Black Dragons. No one really works alongside the Blood Angels literally. And of course the chapter master of the Salamanders b***h slapped the Sons of Malice commander. It all depends on the chapter.
Also with how pride intensive marines can be in most chapters, can you imagine any such as say a crimson fist sending a summons out to the effect of 'hey, some guys called in sick, think you could send some temps? Maybe an orbital bombardment?'
Thats the way it goes being proud and stubborn.

Really, you've just stumbled on the key reason why Space Marines should be an IG Elites choice instead of an army of their own. razz

Orks are pretty much the hated enemies of the Kroot, and yet I can still take them as allies.
