Talk:Drop Site Massacre

Casualties?
Which sources are giving the Numbers of Layalists/Traitors involved in the massacre?

To quote the "Raven Guard" article

´´The Raven Guard had been all but annihilated at the Drop Site Massacre of Istvaan V, reducing the XIX Legion's strength from some 80,000 Astartes to less than 3,000 survivors. ´´

and

´´ Consumed by the loss of over 75,000 of his Legion's Astartes, ´´

which matches

´´Tens of thousands of Space Marines had died in a little over two solar hours of battle ´´

and

´´Casualties (defenders) Hundreds of thousands of Loyalist dead  ´´

from this article, but is in conflict with

`` All told, over 60,000 Astartes warriors clashed on the dusky plains of Istvaan V. ´´

and

´´ The odds were considered equal: 30,000 Traitor Marines against 40,000 Loyalists. ´´

All four lines are from this article

so how much Astartes fought on the massacre?
