Chaos Space Marine Army List
From Lexicanum
The total of Chaos Space Marines number in the tens of thousands. The original, pre-Codex Astartes arrangement saw the Space Marines arranged in legions, ten thousand warriors in each. After the Horus Heresy, this number was cut drastically to the current one thousand Marines in a Chapter. As such there are many thousand more Chaos Space Marines in a Chaos Legion than there are now Space Marines in a Chapter. However, there are many hundreds more chapters than legions meaning that Chaos Space marines are outnumbered by their former brethren. To make up for this Chaos marines employ the help of various daemonic entities which, although fairly weak individually, tend to have an overwhelming effect on their enemies. Although the chaos legions are massive in size few legions have remained unified since the heresy and most operate in small warbands equivalent to a loyalist space marine company.
