AekoldHelbrass Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 As I can understand, the lowest legion number - the youngest legion is, isn't it? So, Emperor's Children is third, how could Horus help them when they were 200 marines strong (weak)? Horus is 16th legion, and his legion should be younger. Or maybe number means nothing?

Sons of Horus Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 number was the order the primarchs were created :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164681-emperors-children-timeline-and-legion-number/#findComment-1936742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirax Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Yeah Horus was found first, and it's like your first child. Well, it's EXACTLY like your first born. Anyway, can't remember why but they lost the majority of their legion early on, and Horus was enlisted by the Emperor to take Fulgrim under his wing.

dark_elf Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 if memory serves, EC lost their numbers early on due to an accident. and with Fulgrim still missing, his DNA could not be used to recreate/accelerate the creation of 1st generation EC Marines. It wasnt until Fulgrim was found that EC started to increase dramatically in numbers. By the start of the Heresy, EC had 30 great companies. Fulgrim was working closely with Horus and the Luna Wolves because the EC were too few in number to do any significant 'conquering' early on. Horus was also his mentor in place of the Emperor because daddy was too busy with other stuff.
