Editing Chapter Master (section)

== I Can't Believe It's Not Chapter Master™ ==

Non-[[Codex Astartes]] Chapters may use other terms for their senior officer, or may not have one senior officer at all, if they are ruled by a council. Some other titles used include:
* Lord Commander ([[Blood Angels]] and [[Silver Skulls]], as well as the most common term used in the pre-Heresy era)
* Lord High Commander ([[Red Scorpions]])
* Great Khan ([[White Scars]])
* Supreme Grand Master: [[Dark Angels]]. Secretly, this guy commands ''all'' chapters using the Lion El'Jonson gene-seed. Chapter Masters of Dark Angels successors just use [[Dark Angels Grand Master|"Grand Master"]].
* Supreme Grand Master: [[Grey Knights]]. Prior to [[Matt Ward]] this rank didn't exist, and the Knights were ruled by the council of Grand Masters.
* Great Wolf ([[Space Wolves]])
* High Marshal ([[Black Templars]])
* The Chapter Master can also be the First Captain (such as in the [[Salamanders]] and [[Crimson Fists]]).
* The [[Iron Hands]], meanwhile, are ruled by a Clan Council. [[Kardan Stronos]] is listed as Chapter Master only in name as he was elected to be the only one to do shit in the council between fighting nids and [[Farsight]].
