The Ten Thousand

The Ten Thousand are a loyalist Space Marine Chapter. As their parent Chapter, the Iron Hands, are organised loosely on them. There are ten Companies, despite that fact that the Chapter has a bit more than 500 battle-brothers.
==Chapter History==
==Chapter Beliefs==
===Main beliefs===
As their parent chapter, the Ten Thousand believe that the mechanical augmentation is a way to achieve perfection and they have extensive use of bionics. They prefer to be entombed in a Dreadnought rather than die from grave wounds. They also believe that their physical bodies can be further evolved and they have close ties with Magi-Biologis of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
===Chapter Recruitment===
The Chapter recruits from the asteroid belt colonies that are close to their Fortress-Monastery. As the population is small, so is the size of the Chapter.
==Chapter Appearance==
==Chapter Colours==
The armour of the Ten Thousand is a dark metallic grey, with black and yellow chevrons and white on their pauldrons.
==Chapter Badge==
The Chapter badge is a white lotus flower inside a purple cog.
