:This is no proof, but they could be possible candidates. By the way, the Emperor also can do that (see "Nemesis"). --[[User:Inquisitor S.|Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum]] 21:54, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
::It is not proof for saying they have this power, as it is not clear. But I was actually requesting to change this part: "as invisibility is not a power possessed by those known". I reckon this sentence is no longer valid in its present form. In my humble opinion there is enough proof for branding it, at least, arguable. By the way, I haven´t read Nemesis (it´s on my list of important things to do), but Graham McNeill´s sweet jewel "The last church" was on my mind.

The idea that the Imperium, like the Soviet Union under Stalin, can simply alter and revise history, is much more intriguing than trying to logically determine who the lost legions were. Even Rick Priestley, etc doesn't know who the missing legions are. It's just fiction. If they didn't betray the Imperium, why doesn't anyone remember who they were? Their records are described in 2nd edition as having been intentionally expunged. (Later versions muddied the issue). They wouldn't be expunged if they had remained loyal.
''Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness, p.243:''
''"His future assured, the Emperor pronounced judgement on Horus and his Legions .... the Fleet was ordered to drive them into the Eye of Terror... Here the Traitor Legions would be confined for all eternity; all records and memories of the lapsed Marine Chapters would be expunged from Imperial Archives. .. It would be as if the Traitor Legions had never existed."''
(So the lost legions simply don't exist, but the Traitor Legions are harder to cover up because they're still raiding the Imperium.)
