I had to do a lot of checking, going through novels, through art books, through web sites (wikipedia is of course blocked here in Workers Paradise of Red China) and the GW site until I finally found all of the canon chapters, both loyalist and chaos. I gotta tell you all the new chapters in the chaos codex almost killed me I got them all in. So with that in mind, let us settle once and for all who is the best Space Marine chapter!
