We all know how big these things get and how our mouth waters when we see one on an open plains square. However, we also know that not all legions are created equal and that they can have a huge range of troop sizes (hence why one should always scout a legion before attacking it)and have a nasty habit of having a massive proportion of lvl5 troops in the mix. Good for XP, bad for ur poor attacking soldiers.

I recently ran into a particularly big one and thought "i wonder how much bigger these things can get?"

So as a bit of fun, I propose that we see if we can document who's seen the biggest! Just like one-armed fishermen I expect alot of "it was this big!" so pics or it didnt happen.

Technically, NPC occupations of size "Legion" can be between 3,000 and 10,000 units--a GM posted the ranges in global chat once very long ago.  I think you're more likely to see the larger numbers with weaker critters though.

You count in number of troops or in XP given to determine the biggest Legion encountered?

I'll have to see if I can dig up the stats on the Legion of Crimson Dawn that's been stalking me ...
