If you'd read the wiki's policies it specifically states, "Only in rare circumstance should a Chapter be allowed to be larger than 1,000 Astartes (such as the Black Templars Chapter), and only if they are a fleet-based Chapter (Subject to Admin approval, which will be considered on a case-by-case basis.)"

This policy can be found here: WH40K Homebrew Wiki:Canon Policy

Since you and I have not had a discuss yet in regards to your Chapter's numbers, dealing with the 'why's' and 'where's', your Chapter's numbers will continuously be changed to the default 1,000. Yes, I understand that fleet-based Chapters often over 1,000 battle-brothers, but keep in mind, this is the exception..not the norm. And in the case of the Black Templars, their case is highly unusual, but also keep in mind they are a Second Founding Chapter and are quite old, therefore, this might explain how they've managed to up their numbers to such unusually high numbers. That, and being smart enough to hide their true numbers by having their Chapter separated into separate Crusading fleets, which makes it all but impossible to gauge their true number.

Also..which Chapter are you referring to that numbers 3,200? That doesn't sound right. If that's the case, someone must've change the numbers without consulting me, as normally, this would never be allowed. And what are you talking about, "Some cases they have been praised by you"? I'd really like to know.

You're not being "targeted", but you must first go through their proper channels if you wish to have higher than normal numbers of battle-brothers for your Chapter. Trust me, you're not the first person this has happened to..and you won't be the last. It's a common oversight by many of our contributors...simply talk to one of us admins, state your reasons for having above 1,000 marines, and we'll consider your request to allow your Chapter to be above mandate number of the Codex Astartes.

Thanks for your understanding.

I await your response.
