how is it that Calgar, who is apparently a legend that everyone knows...

[Huntard]

But have only 200 years of service according to the nails in his head ?

the guy is younger than Titus ?

and no one gives credit to Titus when he has 400 YEARS of service

[Oro]

He's more like 400. Titus also isn't 400 years old, he has 200~ years of service, as mentioned in-game.

I thought each nail in the head represented 100 years ?

It's explicitly mentioned in-game that Titus' service studs indicate 200 years. If he has 4, this works out to 50~ years each.

"A stud will represent either 10, 50 or 100 years service, depending on its style and the material it is made from."

Don't know how they count them in the ultramarines though.

from the lexicanum:
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Service_Studs

Service Studs are metallic studs attached to the skull of a Space Marine, which visibly protrude through the skin of the forehead. The awards signify the number of the Marine's years in service to the Chapter. Different designs and shapes of studs denote different lengths of service.[1] A stud will represent either 10, 50 or 100 years service, depending on its style and the material it is made from.[2]

However, the practice of Service Studs is falling out of favor with many Chapters.[1]
