        I've never heard of any exact limit being stated for
any one chapter's termie suits. Where did you get the 1/2
figure from?

        FWIW, the Terminator company in SM/TL (available to
all non-space wolf codex chapters) had 13 stands in it (12
stands of normal termies and 1 commander), making for at
least 60 non-commander terminators possible in a single
chapter.
