**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 Lion El Johnson has has now also returned , at the climax of the Arks Of Omen campaign.
**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.
