Yes but that is only with favored Champions Tom. What about the loads of other CSM that have lived longer than dDante, but aren't favored Champions? The CSMs are just as combatively active as the normal Marines if not more so. So why aren't there more Loyalists that are around Dante's age where there are literally hundreds of Ancient CSM.
