**This also implies, but does not categorically state, that the 9 known Traitor Legions are all of the Legions that followed him into rebellion and that 18 Legions were the total number of Legions active at the time. A passage detailing Horus's plans for the various Legions at the outset of the Heresy mentions by name all 18 known Legions{{Fn|11}}.
*"Of the original 20 Primarchs, only 9 survived the Horus Heresy. The remainder were either killed in the fighting (like Horus) or fled with their [Legions] into the [[Eye of Terror]]. The survivors helped [to rebuild] the Imperium."{{Fn|7}}
**It is currently accepted that 3 Primarchs died during the Heresy ([[Ferrus Manus]], [[Sanguinius]], and [[Horus]]) and 6 are known to have fled into the Eye of Terror ([[Fulgrim]], [[Perturabo]], [[Angron]], [[Mortarion]], [[Magnus]], and [[Lorgar]]). The fates of the other 11 are open to multiple interpretations. However, Roboute Guilliman was held in stasis (as his throat was cut) until his resurrection at the end of [[M41]] and it is commonly believed that Lion El Johnson's body has been hidden away in has also returned at the climax of the belief that he shall return one dayArks Of Omen campaign.{{Cite this}}
**Two traitors, [[Konrad Curze]] and [[Alpharius]], did not flee into the Eye of Terror and were killed later on. 7 loyal Primarchs seem to have survived. It is possible that Curze and Alpharius were counted as part of the 9 survivors. However, in the novel Betrayer it mentions the "18 Legions", a clear statement that the unknown Legions disappeared before the Heresy, and played no part in them.
