The Dark angels have just over 100 suits ofterminator armour, 100 for
troops and a couple more for captains and other characters so that would
mean 20 stands for Dark angels while all the other chapters could only have
10 stands (100 men in the 1st company, 1/2 of which can get termie armour
[only 50 sets] =10 stands)
