BOOM!!!! Carcharodons As A Missing LegionTyr WolfsbaneThe Carcharodons Are A Missing Legion I believe that the Carcharodons Astra are in fact one of the missing legions. My reasons for believing this are as follows:

1) The Legion has a very mysterious past that has them appearing in some of the earliest Post-Heresy millenium as far back as possibly the 32nd Millenium if not sooner.

2) The Legion has a very secretive modus operandi. Now this alone is not enough to name them a Lost Legion, however, I believe that if you look carefully at their mission and their secretive nature combined it offers up a very interesting possibility: The Carcharodons are in fact exiled from the Imperium. Now obviously this is not the only solution but I believe that it makes the most sense.

3) They have a very distinct gene-seed. I know that it has been stated that they have genetic markers similar to that of the Raven Guard however I believe that you cant name them their succesors based solely on that fact. The body of the deceased Battle-Brother was a member of the Deathwatch and only purportedly from the Carcharodons. The body was from a massacre so its entirely possible that it was even a Carcharodons Battle-Brother.

These are simply my opinions and seeing as how Im definitely not as versed in 40K lore as some of you guys (note however Im not entirely ignorant of it) I would like to know you guys opinions on this.
