i think it has some overlap with how far gone some of the legions became and maybe more specifically, those that actually had the most congruence with chaos patrons
the death guard kinda didn't really shift around too much in doctrine once they were full-blown pox oozing bloated up and blessed motherfuckers besides standing and taking even more punishment than prior to put down or so is the sense i get
the thousand sons were decimated and raped from the outset and their real 'fall' was yet unfolding in the form of the rubric marines as best i understand all throughout the conflict, atop the factors of their inclinations to tzeentch really just aligning with escalating psychic capacity and such which they're already built upon
EC? represent a real, real, very fucking serious and pointed waning of grace as it were in the form they had adopted by the later days
similarly, the totally rampant, tsunami-like despoiler tides of the eaters of the more advanced stages once angron had been given over and all that is a d r a s t i c shift even for the XII and would be similar to the example of the third legion in that respect
sons of bodt frankly doesn't encompass it so well but i lean towards the more doctrinal 'loyalist' (as if) flavor anyhow in how my dudes are being arranged
