Captain Juan Juarez Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Which Legions recruited from Terra during their founding, does anyone know? The Death Legion, as the Dusk Raiders, were recruited at least partially from Terra, as referenced about Garro, but was anyone else? Or were ALL inital Astartes for the Legions from Terra?

Leonaides Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Lemme see if I remember these right: 1000 Sons - recruited on earth (as thats where they were when the accidne thappened which nearly wiped them out - hence the name) Imperial Fists - Earth (battle Honour Roma) Dark Angels - Earth (the earth/caliban marine issue) Lunar Wolves - Earth (certainly not all from Cthonica, I assume the others were from earth first) SW's - Fenris only I believe (but cant think of any evidence now) Blood Angels - Baal (the BAs were created from the tribesmen on Baal when the Emperor found Sanguinius there, yet to be ret-conned) The others, I'm not sure about.....

Aqatone Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I was under the impression that all 20 founding legions began on Terra and were bolstered by recruits from the Primarchs homeworld. Hence the early days in the Space Wolfs of being a mix of Terrans and Fenrisians, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178241-recruitment/#findComment-2107321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kharloth Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Wasn't Captain Garro of the Death Guard terran? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178241-recruitment/#findComment-2107616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWinds Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'm pretty sure all of them did. The emperor began the crusade with 20 legions, just not 20 primarchs. In the HH books they don't just talk about death guard from earth, but also luna wolves, and I'm pretty sure world eaters. Hmmm that would make Kharne from earth, interesting.

Lord_Caerolion Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 There seems to occasionally be Legions that go against the pattern, for example the Alpha Legion were founded only years before Alpharius was discovered, and the Crusade had been going on for at least a century by then.
