The HH series is written and told as a present narrative in the nooks of the Heresy series. it is not a retelling of a past as f.e. the Cain novels.

The Novel Scars tells us sth. about pre implantation neophytes and legion culture. also ultras were big enough as is, compared to f.e TS, EC or SW. who even says they had multiple recruiting worlds... baseless speculation lead nowhere.

Problem: Current material is all available information at the moment and it can force things. nobody will f.e. Say that space marines now only get 300 years old as in the space marine novel, because so many other sources say sth. different. games workshop will not retcon 20+ books and codices just to suit your idea of sth that they denied with tje facts given in those sources.

generally franchises simply go for a relaunch then. as we see in comics or star wars. continuity is key.

otherwise they might turn tje orks into reasonable beings with the next codex or piece of fluff.
