==Two unknown Primarchs==

References to the second and eleventh Primarchs are made in the short story ''The Lightning Tower''{{Fn|12}}, in which Rogal Dorn describes the plinths on which their statues stand should be vacant and says that 'no one ever spoke of those two absent brothers. Their separate tragedies had seemed like aberrations. Had they, in fact, been warnings that no one had heeded?' Also in [[The First Heretic (Novel)|The First Heretic]], [[Lorgar]] makes several references, saying that the Emperor ordered that they be forgotten. During the time five Word Bearer captains spent being shown secrets of the galaxy by the daemon Ingethel, they are shown the Emperor's gene-labs where he is creating the Primarchs and the moment that they were scattered by Chaos. During their time wandering the labs as insubstantial ghosts, undetectable as long as they didn't touch anything, they speak of the two lost legions, mentioning how they were erased from Imperial records and how Roboute Guilliman's Ultramarines legion mysteriously swelled in numbers each time one of the two legions was "erased." The implication seems clear that at least part of the fighting force of the "lost" legions was entrusted to Roboute Guilliman and incorporated into the Ultramarines.{{Fn|14}}
