A single planet with identical arable land and ocean mass to Earth could feed a dozen or so Hive worlds if it was farmed at even 50% efficiency. Let alone any technology which could allow for growing crops in non-arable land.

Hive Worlds have lots of people on them, but nothing even approaching what Earth could feed.

How many people per Hive World in this estimation?

Yes, I was busy with other stuff.

Anyone else remember that 16-bit wave file that started this game?

We are of course dealing with the numerical absurdities of GW here. They pulled hundreds of candidates off Terra for the Custodes and Thunder Warriors.

There are far more candidates available than are selected. They have a built in limit that caps how many a chapter can recruit. If they had the geneseed and the will, they could make far more.
