→Number of Legionaries: Dark Angels: If their number is "under 200,000", it cannot be between 200,000 and 250,000 - These are contradicting factors
The approximate sizes of a few of the Legions at the start of the Heresy have been given in various sources:
*[[Ultramarines]] — - 250,000{{Fn|8}}*[[Dark Angels]] - Slightly under Between 200,000{{Fn|26}} to and 250,000{{Fn|32}}*[[Iron Warriors]] — - 150,000 to 180,000{{Fn|16a}}*[[Sons of Horus]] — - Between 130,000 and 170,000{{Fn|7c}}{{Fn|Note 2}}*[[World Eaters]] — - 150,000{{Fn|7d}}*[[Word Bearers]] — - Conflicting accounts ranging from more than 100,000 to 150,000, to numbers rivaling that of the [[Ultramarines|13th legion]]{{Fn|6}}{{Fn|10}}{{Fn|15d}}*[[Blood Angels]] — - 120,000{{Fn|10}}*[[Night Lords]] — - 90,000 to 120,000{{Fn|15a}}*[[Iron Hands]] — - 113,000{{Fn|15b}}*[[Emperor's Children]] — - 110,000{{Fn|7f}}*[[Imperial Fists]] — - 100,000{{Fn|11}}{{Fn|Note 1}}/over 100,000{{Fn|20}}*[[Space Wolves]] — - 95,000 - 100,000{{Fn|21a}}*[[Death Guard]] — - 95,000{{Fn|7e}}
*[[White Scars]] - 95,000{{Fn|24}}
*[[Alpha Legion]] — - Conflicting accounts ranging from 90,000 to 180,000{{Fn|16b}}*[[Salamanders]] — - 89,000{{Fn|15c}}*[[Raven Guard]] — - 80,000{{Fn|9}}*[[Thousand Sons]] — - 80,000 to 85,000{{Fn|21b}}{{Fn|Note 3}}
The Legion size issue is contentious, with several types of numbers mentioned in separate sources meant to reflect a general or nominally-sized legion. As well as numbers directly given in sources themselves, several [[authors]] have commented on the issue.
