Representing sacred numbers is honestly completely unimportAnt to me. There's nothing particularly sacred about Death Guard always running around in groups of 35 men.
(let's just assume 5 to a base)
I take it the same is felt for World Eaters with 40 men and Emperor's Children with 30 men then...?
I find that the only people that are going to be playing these lists are the die hard fans as others such as yourself are drawn to lists such as Red Corsairs and the like which are predominantly misguided Marines. With that in mind, the die hard fans (I find) are those - dying breed (?) - that came to appreciate this little quirk in Chaos and like to have the sacred numbers represented in some form.
Remember, the lists represent the Legions in their prime, not the ragtag bands that run around the universe in the representations of Forgeworld and the like. The Reign of these legions in their golden days may have been short, yet if they are to be represented, why not indulge in the full plethora of fluff that is available to them?
