Understandable, since most loyalist traitor chapters end up with there numbers dwindling due to the inquisitions attempts to annihilate the chapter from the face of exsistance (no matter what good deeds they accomplish in the name of the emperor) as well as from the imperiums records (via "deletion" teams). A good Example of this are the Soul Drinkers who now only contain a mere 5-6 original members.
