What assumption,

Johnson was found by Luther in the Northwilds, to quote "the fallen angel" hundreds of leagues away from the next settlement" the nNorthwilds had the highest conentration of chaos tainted beasts and the Lion just walks out of the woods unscathed when around him those big predators run wild... (remember, the northwilds where also the last area to be "cleared" according to Johnson and the northwilds where the site of the knights o lupus outpost.

just do em a favor and take any infant, young child, whatsoever, all the porimarchs cae from gestation capsules, it is said about curze that he lived early and survived by eating and preying on rats in a cityscape, the northwilds are no cityscape and by far not only home to rats. they may have potential but alas the embryonic body only has that much muscle mass....

how do I get the information: easy, "fallen angels" says it is half a chapter or around 500 astartes. while actually only Luther and Zahariel knew about the bomb in the first place and zahariel wanted to diosarm it and luther first wanted to use it.. that does not explain the other 498 nor the later arrival of astelan.

to quote the article "fallen Angels" under point "Exile"

"Officially, Luther and his 500 Astartes had been ordered back to Caliban because the Great Crusade was about to enter a new operational phase, and the I Legion was in dire need of new recruits to meet the tasks the Emperor had planned for them"

or to quote the "Luther" article aslo part "exile"

"Luther and more than five hundred of his brothers – over half a Chapter – discovered they had been dismissed. The news had stunned them all. Luther had seen it in the eyes of his battle brothers as they’d mustered on the embarkation deck to begin the long trip back to Caliban. If the Legion needed warriors so badly, why were they being pulled from the front lines? Training recruits was a job for elders, men who were full of wisdom but past their physical prime. That was the way it had been on their homeworld for generations – and it had escaped no one that virtually all of the Astartes being sent home were from Caliban rather than Terra."
