Not only that, but there are more CSMs than more people seem to realise.

Officially the Red Corsairs are the size of an average Space Marine Legion (~100,000), the Word Bearers are around the 8,000-10,000 strong (if not more, the fluff just states that there are 8 hosts with the largest being 2,000 strong and the smallest being Chapter-sized) and the Black Legion are ~80,000+ (depending on the actual size of the Word Bearers, since the fluff states the Black Legion is ~10x a larger than the Word Bearers) Without considering the other legions and their warbands (and even the splinter warbands of the Word Bearers, Black Legion and Red Corsairs) and other warbands in general, that's 1/5 of every Loyalist Marine that exists in 41M.

How are 40k Word Bearers so few? O.o

They were a good 200,000 in the Heresy era.

Well if Jehovah's witnesses knock on enough doors, the start getting shotguns to he face. The same seems to be true to their 40k counterpart.
