Astartes Numbers Additional Info

This is not a 'simple' author mistake, but rather a symptom of the confusion of the Legion size issue amongst the authors themselves and their varying stances on the matter (small legion theory vs large legion theory). According to the author Aaron Dembskl-Bowden this issue has since been resolved by the Horus Heresy Series authors as a group in favour of the large legion theory and as such all mention of previous small sizes should be mentally multiplied by 10 by the reader. Thus there are 300K traitors, 400K loyalists etc. Of course, this doesn't actually work out neatly as other factors break the maths, but the general idea is that the small size numbers are the 'wrong' ones.--Mob 10:52, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
