*20 statues of the Primarchs were erected in the [[Imperial Palace]] on Terra. By the time of the Horus Heresy, plinths '''II''' and '''XI''' "[...] had been vacant for a long time. No-one ever spoke of those two absent brothers [and] their separate tragedies."{{Fn|9}}
**This suggests that the two unknown Primarchs had been found previously and that something tragic had happened. The two Primarchs were "absent" but not referred to as "dead".
**It also suggests that the fate of the two was were "seperateseparate", ie i.e. that it was not the same event incident that caused the loss of both but two distinct incidentsevents.**Prior to sending [[Sigismund]] and his Imperial Fists to Mars during the Heresy, Dorn mused to [[Malcador (Character)|Malcador]] on the loyalist support of two Legions, possibly the two unknown Legions, during the Heresy. Malcador quelled the Primarch's thoughts, stating that "They are lost to us forever."{{Fn|15}}
*Horus convinced "no less than 9" Space Marine Legions to side with him at the onset of the Heresy,{{Fn|2}} a number also referred to as "fully half" of the Legions.{{Fn|6}} When he assaulted Terra, this number was given as 9.{{Fn|10}}
**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}}.
