So basically in Text to Speech Device the Emperor was impressed at the Black Templars so called ''legion building'' and size of 6500 Astartes and sent out orders for other Chapters to do the same.
So basically assume that the Emperor overrides Guilliman's Codex Astartes limits and sets out a new standard for each Chapter to grow into.
There will be 81 line companies divided into three divisions of three regiments of three battalions of three companies of three platoons.
Each line company will consist of 120 Tactical / Intercessor Astartes + Devastator / Fire support Astartes and outside of the 120 count will be the HQ.
So assume there will be something like 7290 Tactical / Intercessor Astartes and 2430 fire support Astartes.
Then each Chapter will have a division of around 2500 Assault / Inceptor Astartes. And 1500 Veterans and 1500 Scouts / Vanguard Astartes.
So overall strength of 15000 Line Marines + Techmarines + Vehicle crew + Apothecharies + Librarians, Command force, etc...
-------------------------------------------------------
Assume also that each Chapter is also supplied more ships to transport said Astartes so that a normal chapter fleet is 50-75 strike cruisers and battle barges and about thrice that in escorts.
-------------------------------------------------------
How will this affect the military balance of the 40k Galaxy?
