Over the years, through absorbing other bands of [[Renegade Space Marine]]s and outlaws, the Red Corsairs have grown close to the size of a pre-[[Horus Heresy|Heresy]] [[Space Marine Legion]].{{Fn|13}} While its Space Marines form the core of the Legion's fighting force, the Red Corsairs also includes vast amounts of [[Traitor Guard]], [[Pirate]]s, [[Mutant]]s, [[Xenos]], and any other willing to pledge themselves to Huron Blackheart.{{Fn|23a}} Known Xenos warbands in service with the Red Corsairs are the [[Loxatl]]{{Fn|24}} and [[Tarellian]]s.{{Fn|23b}}
[[Space Marines]] who joined the Red Corsairs, without falling to [[Chaos]] are known as '''Red Corsair Raiders'''. Now free to indulge their baser instincts, these vicious fighters excel at serving as the spear tip of the Red Corsairs' attacks.{{Fn|31}} The [[Terminator]] elite of the warband are known as the [[Huscarl (Red Corsairs)|Huscarls]], serving as Huron Blackheart's personal praetorians.{{Fn|23a}}Groups of Red Corsairs are led by '''Reave-Captains'''. However to maintain their roles, Reave-Captains are required to be cruel taskmasters and peerless warriors, who have a mean streak and a large amount of charisma as well. The most successful of them, become known as notorious corsair captains.{{Fn|31}}
