3. awnser yeah but there founding was during the dark founding and any information about chapters was lost so the tech-priest may have created them with out the high lords of terra green light and they could get away with it because if I read right they collect and moniter the gene-seed. the chapters numbers I know is supposed to be around 1000 strong but I thought I could get away with it because they are spread about to different forge worlds numbering around 300-500 The most would be 900 and the imperrium have no idea how many there are in total like the black templars.
