you astound me with your idiocy frankly. As i'm sick of reading your dribble, I'll shoot down a couple of your points then move on...as can't be bothered any more. 15) The CODEX ASTARTES is set out to allow joint working and understanding, it does not need to massively deal with culture as it deals with military culture that is generic to all proper fighting forces i.g. discipline. It doesn't need to talk about things which are not required e.g. a wolfs mane is needed as otherwise it would be issued...a bolter clearning drill is. All are taught.

16) doesn't prove or disprove the rumour

14) of course they would have to work hard, they are trying to blend in and become sneaky spy types without differences, when two organisations combine those of both sides don't need to fool the others that they once where something else, they just need to try and tow the party line in the future. The Alpha Legion were trying not to be caught, the new, merging legions would already be caught in effect as people (at least some, maybe not all) would know anyway.

13) You'll have a 'look' about some marines in a chapter but no one said..."erm, mr. horus sir, Gav Loken over there is sort of blond, you have no hair...shall I shoot him as a spy" and if they all looked really really similar they it would constantly say that but we have marines in the same legions with different looks...Bile looked old and ugly, most Emperors Children looked pretty and blond (if i recal...was Travits black haired or something?).

12) jibberish?

11)doesn't support or deny, purposefully ambiguious by GWS no doubt, their records are expunged remember...try to keep on track.

10)doesn't support or deny, suggive that some kind of gene based failing did in the atleast one of the missing legions (as that is the context that the talk is in) but that doesn't mean all were mutants. When the Raven Guard stock was contaminated, not all of those were beastly.

9)Yes, it is tricky to merge units to units, a couple to a unit, not so bad. We see that this works fine enough in the various 'shattered legion' groups that fight together in various books at various times, against various foe's, to various successess. I'm appealing to your human experienc side here, where you can draw upon any life experience you may actually have...as I take it you have a life outside of these FICTIONAL BOOKs...I've been people work great in a team of their peers, work great as a indivdual but put them into a new team and they fail. This is because they still want/long to go back to the other times, they still hang on to the old ways as a way of keeping them alive, when in actual fact they might be dead. That and it is hard for old dogs to learn never tricks at times. As you are likely a (or similar) 14 yearold kid with too much time and too much disposable cash for this stuff, you might struggle with real world thinking elements.

8)Doesn't actually support or deny either...

7)Doesn't actually support or deny either...

You a expert on biology now...FICTIONAL biology at that? Thats quite impressive. The CORRECT reply is their MAY BE a autoimmune responce. Thousands of organ/tissue etc transplants occur yearly without issues due to correct anit-body matching and immuno-depressant drugs etc. This is also just a valid reply if the marines needed new gene seed, you seem totally devoid to the idea that they were recruited prior to all gene-seed implantation or couldn't have just swapped armour and called it a draw - relearning the tactics etc once in post.

6)See point 8 and 7 and this bit about you been devoid of other ideas...

5)Doesn't actually support or deny either...

4)Doesn't actually support or deny either...

3)Doesn't actually support or deny either...

2)Doesn't actually support or deny either...

1)Doesn't actually support or deny either...

No one said the lost legions didn't exist, weren't stuck from the records, weren't found etc etc it's soley about what happened to their troops.

Swell in size blah blah bigger than all others, fair enough yah, they your points would work, sure that's good reseach on your part. Of course we are not talking about a general rise up (more recruitment pools) or generally higher numbers (less combat losses) we are talking about two unexplained (at this time) growth spurts..."around the time the Second and Eleventh were “forgotten” by Imperial archives". The devil is in the detail.

You can't just read half of it any make the rest up. It's also considered foolish to use strawmen arguments or points to prove a case. All things you do.

Can't read accurately, Can't spell properly, Can't talk nicely to folks. Can't do maths very well...16 points do not 'support' yours at all if you counted... bit useless really*.


 * Bit tongue in cheek as we all suffer from poor spelling, grammar etc in life, especially on line.

Still a important source to think that the rumour is believable enough to actual marines in that time frame to think possible.

I'd like to thank you though for coming over to my side of the thinking. I figured as you seem basically intelligent that it would happen eventually. You highlighed the word conjecture...this is right, not enough information to confirm or deny.
