Hey all.
I was just wondering aloud how big a space marine legion was, before the horus heresy, and the different legions size?

he approximate sizes of a few of the Legions at the start of the Heresy have been given in various sources: Ultramarines - 250,000 Sons of Horus - Between 130,000 and 170,000 World Eaters - 150,000 Word Bearers - 100,000 to 150,000 Blood Angels - 120,000 Imperial Fists - 100,000 Death Guard - 95,000 Raven Guard - 80,000 Emperor's Children - 50,000 Although this number is clearly stated to be a result of the loss sustained during the Istvaan III war. During the later Great Crusade, the size of the legion was closer to 110,000 Salamanders - 40,000 deployed at the Drop Site Massacre Thousand Sons - 10,000 White Scars - at least 7000 Night Lords - 10 000 Stolen from here.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

I heard that the legions had 150 thousand on avertage before the heresy.
Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also is there any figures on legion sizes just after the heresy?

Don't know about SW or IW. Like I said, I just stole the information from lexicanum.com.
